a sad state of affairs. And the whole nonsense should be anathema to serious punters.
Bangor and Stratford are considerably more alluring. I 've had a lovely time every day I've been there.

britain unilaterally abolished slavery when no-one else was interested. thousands of british sailors died trying to stamp it out.

the 'preventive squadron' was set up to do this (200 years ago). no african or arab country has abolished it even NOW.

you are an idiotic cultural relativist info, and i might come down there and give you a whack if you don't stop it.

I don't understand how you can call Dubai a dump but we are all entitled to our own opinions.

I'd say a dump is a flash place where everything is overpriced and there's nothing much to do except show off. but everyone's entitled to opinion.
