SSC Members Dubai:

If you are interested in hanging out for a meeting some time the next few weeks (tbd) let us know via private message.

I’ve talked to a couple of guys here and there is generally an interest to see each other face to face for a chat every now and then. There will be coke:cheers2: or beer:cheers:, popcorn:popcorn:, lol:lol:., and of course the compulsory banana:banana:.

If it’s less than 10 people we can go on my boat. For more we will charter Queen Mary II or meet somewhere else. Maybe just break into the top floor of Al Yaqoub Tower and 'redecorate' the place.

Guest Appearances may, but don’t have to, include:
- The CEO of Select in a Cage Fight with SGrCRAP :bash: (not confirmed)
- CEO of Trident on how to build a Pento-Minimum (not confirmed)
- and his new best friend, the blue runaway guy :runaway: (don't worry, we'll feed him lots of coffee so he'll be extra nervous and fast)
- Tom Cruise with his hilarious impersonation of Imre :speech: (not confirmed)
- Metallica featuring banana2 unplugged :banana2: (only the banana confirmed so far)

Not bad, is it?


See you soon.... unless you're not reading this (which you obviously are, so :hammer:). Or you're not in dubai and therefore can't possibly make it even if your life depended on it :gaah:. Or your wive (resp. hubby) won't let you hang out with the boys :madwife:.

I'm running out of Smilies here, and don't want to start using that silly Llama.
