Its Friday... what does the weekend have in store for you?
- Thread starter gv1.3
- Start date
Middle East weekenf dor me!
Well I woke up, got the free bus down into Abu Dhabi (Friday is our Saturday here). I spent most of the day on the Corniche beach, watched the Brazillian band and display along the water front in 35-40 degree heat with a cold drink in my hand.
Headed into the Marina mall for a few hours of shopping in the huge computer'y gadget shops they have. Spent the remainder of the night around the pool drinking and smoking shisha. We're 4 hours ahead here so it's 03:00 on Sat now.
My plans for today are to sit by the pool all day and do nowt!
Been out here since June, it was 61 degress then and 90% humidity. As you walked out of the villa your glasses steamed up due to the water in the air, your phone died and so did anything else electrical.
I'm working over here until May/June next yeear and I get to head home every 6 weeks. I'm back in Newcastle for a few weeks before xmas and I'm dreading it, snow ice, rain (not had ANY in the UAE this year so far), wind, hail and chavs!
At least I'm having NY in Tenerife, phew.

Nothing special this weekend, lucky for me no extra work, so just rest! Don't fix any computers this weekend, don't do any translation either -) Play some games like CIV V or Quake Wars, watch some dvd/blue ray. Picking up my resprayed alloy wheels (14") on Sat, will change my wheels to the snow ones (Snowproxes) and probably put my current 15" Chrome alloys on Sale.
Free weekend listing on Ebay by the way! Might put some unwanted stuff on the EBay. In the evening have a "cup of tea" with my mate Danny (who has a Starlet GT) and probably go out for a couple of hours. Sunday car wash/wax with another mate at his place -)
And yes, almost forgot, got my antifreeze tester off the ebay for J3.50 delivered -) Will test my antifreeze this weekend, god knows what SVA imports (bunch of wankers) put in the radiator if they changed the coolant at all. Some Russian scientists predicted that this winter is going to be one of the coldest in a hundred years, so it's better to be prepared. By the way the salt doesn't help if it's colder than -5C, so you've been warned!
