Default Unbelievable - I dont believe it (Petrol related)

Look at what the Arabs are building



All finished. Look how big it is.
Notice the size of the palm trees outside.
In the bottom RH corner you can just see a limo.........
This thing is big!



Remember, this is in the middle of the desert....
The very HOT desert where temperatures get up to 50 degrees (122 F)



Unbelievable!


But true.....




The INSIDE view:






Now you know why petrol is£1.12 a litre...
So they can ski in the desert!!!

Is that Ski-Dubai? (which I thought looked more impressive than that)

Thumbs up

Its great fun, attached to the Mall of the Emirates, massive shopping mall.
the ski run is some 450m long.

Much fun on a real hot day 40+ degrees outside and yet i am skiing and wearing a coat.

Most Arabs have never seen or touched real snow and great so see for the first time.

is it being worked on or ecxtended it has been up a couple of years now!

Actually the £1.12 a litre you pay is mostly tax, but then you already knew that didn't you?

The price of oil is **** all to do with the Arabs. It's the traders who boos the price up + the tax paid on it..

Jeez, someone makes an off the cuff remark, meant as a joke and how many comments does he get trying to correct him about it being the tax man not the arabs

Some of you lot need to lighten up, living a life full of hate I bet.

Is that a bit like Bob Monkhouse then, he only became a comedian because all his friends laughed when he told them thats what he was going to be
