Electricity In Dubai?

[netibiza]

Can anyone confirm that the electricity in Dubai is 220v, and that the plugs are the same as UK ie 3 pin? Thank you.

I'm running late too.It's all Andys fault .Well done that lad.
Must go to get hair cut .Hope all ok.

The mind boggles Robinia!! You've taken it to an entirely different level.
I was watching Murray but we both fell asleep ( well Murray didn't I'm talking about Mr N) so I has to find out this morning. I'm glad I don't like the look of del Potro, he looks grubby.

[shaneystar2]

Oh I dunno Neti ,he scrubs up quite nicely :)

I think I'd look a bit grubby if I'd been running round a tennis court for four hours. He played brilliantly.One of the best tennis matches I've seen for a long time
Lovely day out there now after a dull start.

[netibiza]

Nah doesn't do it for me! And anyway he beat my Rafa, won't ever forgive him!

[netibiza]

Good morning from a cooler and wet Ibiza (just when I have bedding hanging out to dry!) But it is nice!!
Hope all is well in Biddyland.

The highlight of my day so far is cracking open a new pack of pants. (I do wash them before wearing)

good morning all. back to the strange dreams again. I drove my car into someone’s front room and couldn’t get it out again. Someone said in my ear “That building is sagging” then someone stole my car and left a dormobile in its place.

[netibiza]

Jno my friend went on the doughnut last Thurs. Very enjoyable. I am planning on doing it next summer.
Woofy aren't dreams strange?
Very sticky and humid here. Really unpleasant. Still overcast.

Morning all
Sun's trying to get out ,hope it's sunny for you in Brighton Jno .Rather you than me though.No way would I go up that.
I watched an old Dalziel and Pascoe last night. Lovely Warren Clarke as fat Andy and his comical one liners .He was such a good actor.
Hope you're all ok.

lovely views from up there, and mostly sunny all day.

Strange thing... I thought I'd been hit by a seagull, but OH said there was only a drop of damp on my collar. Then I noticed other people walking round with their hands out and looking at the skies in puzzlement. There were quite a few scattered drops of water on the pavement too. And yet the skies were clear and there was nothing round us anywhere producing water. Where on earth did it come from? I wondered if the i360 itself might have some hydraulic system that produced mist at the top that condensed into water or something. Most odd.

[netibiza]

Good morning.
Well that funeral was the weirdest thing ever.
We all stood around in a meeting room being offered coffee of water, then troupedbinto a very small room to view the closed coffin under a glass cage. Then someone said something nice and we all left. It was only the viewing rooms not the main crematorium at all. No one knew what was happening. There is no chimney there so they do not burn the bodies there. Guess they take them back to the hospital for that. The German relatives were shocked and stunned at it all as we all were. Then we all went to a beach bar at Cala Llonga and had nibbles and drinks. We left 5 hours later!
I am going to ask the town hall to explain what is going on up there!!

Morning all...weather hasn't made up it's mind yet. It was lovely yesterday but not as hot as they'd been saying it would be.
Is this the tales of the unexplained category? I've been dreaming a lot lately, thankfully not bad ones, just very busy and involving lots of people. Maybe it's down to the full moon tomorrow.

neti, OH got talking to an old chap sitting in the sun yesterday. He said he'd just had a couple of hours waiting in hospital to be seen for some minor emergency and while he was there his mobile rang. It was an automated messge asking him if he'd begun making his funeral plans yet. He said he was quite alarmed.

[woofgang]

its been boiling here...much hotter than forecast. Neti that’s quite odd...I suppose if you look at it objectively, no odder than a cremation service here...its just that we are used to that oddness.
Yes the dreams aren’t nightmares exactly but so real they take some shaking off once I wake....never had anything like it before.

[netibiza]

But the thing is there was no service, we hadn't even got to the main auditorum. Regretfully the Spanish haven't got to grips with it all at. Clueless.
Anyway it's a nice day again but very humid.
Jno how was the doughnut??

[netibiza]

Actually a couple of older friends went deliberately to check it out for themselves when the time comes, weren't too impressed.

[woofgang]

well they won’t be around to know will they.....

[jno]

the doughnut was great, neti, but how would you feel being 160 metres up in a glass bubble? The floor is solid, but the sides are all glass from your feet upwards, with barrier rails round the inside. You can always have a £10 glass of Sussex champers if you want to distract yourself.

I have phoned them up to ask if they are bringing rain to the south coast, and they are looking into it. Pehaps it will also function as a giant lightning rod?

[shaneystar2]

Hello all
Another lovely day ,looks like all change for the weekend though with rain forecast.
That's a strange type of funeral Neti especially with no service .I know that in germany they take the casket away for cremation but there's always a service first in church as there are no crems with a church bit attached like here as far as I know and cremains must be buried in a cemetery or designated field of the unknown within a cemetery.Although lately they seem to be starting to overhaul their very strict laws on these things.
Jno ,I couldn't go on that if you paid me.I'd be a quivering wreck.
Nothing much going on here .Hope you're all ok.
