Dubai. The world's biggest, fastest, richestzzzzzz
A typical Friday night in this '21st century' metropolis...
9pm amble into the bar in the Ramada Hotel where the duo are slaughtering popular classics by 'happening' acts such as Bonnie Raitt, Dire Straits, Eric Clapton and Chris Rea.
The first set is interrupted by bingo with such high end prizes as, er, a free drink, um, a meal, oh, and two pint glasses. Wicked.
So three pints down and a plate of potato skins - total 1,200 baht - and it's off to another bar...
Ah yes, a rock band in the next one with an average age of around 50. A slow jazzy version of Sweet Child of Mine is accompanied by a 200 baht bottle of Heineken. I try not to fall asleep as a few African hookers tempt me with tales of all-night sucking 'baby' for 8,000 baht. Let me think about it Oprah...
By the time the second band has come on - all Filipino rock outfit with de rigeur all black outfits and gurning faces - I don't think a Skid Row cover is quite what I want at this stage and decided to amble across the road to another sleazy bar.
Jockeys - wall to wall hookers circled by Indian taxi drivers, Arab teenagers who think they're 50 cent and the occasional Causcasian face, while 1990s disco booms overhead. This has all the sexual thrust of a furniture showroom. Charming.
Another bottle of Heineken at 240 baht, another 8,000 baht African lady with a padded bra (disappointing) and a gargantuan arse (even more disappointing) and it's time to give one more bar a try before rerturning to the nest.
After a 20 minute walk round the circumference of Miss Djibouti's backside, it's upstairs to the quaintly named 'Gig's Point' for one for the road.
More Indian taxi drivers with their sandles tossed aside pick their toes to the cool sounds of Robbie Williams (on CD chaps - the fat fuck wasn't in there personally) before absently picking at a plate of road kill decorated with rice and ramming four grubby fingers into their drooling mouths. 'Sophisticated', I muse before asking the extremely bent waiter to get me another 240 baht Heineken.
The band are Philipino again and after a Heart cover followed by Mariah Carey, I remember I have a pending date back at the flat between my eyes and some hot pins so beer is duly supped and I slip into the night.
Here your choices are the mall, the indoor ski slope, the mall, er, the cinemas and the bars like the ones above. Of course, there are the high-end clubs with drinks at 350 baht a shout but I'm old school and get slightly irked by spikey haired chavs who are either on holiday or are 'having it large' while working in the 21st century's biggest, fastest etc etc
Christ, I'm turning into Stogie...

I used to be overly busy until some 6-7 years ago. Doing more things than what I could handle - theatre acting, painting exhibitions, running a dungeon, scuba diving, charity works, teaching part-time (for fun mostly) and dating a lot (internet contacts mostly).
I decided to pull the plug and closed myself in to what could be classified as a VERY boring life. But in fact it's perfectly fine by me
I work not over one/two hours a day. Go to the gym almost every day, when I'm in good health of course which seems to becoming an almost rare event , going out seldom, dining out very seldom (I don't have a good digestion anyway), taking care of my investements and trying to make them productive, fucking occasionally any of my three girls (2 Chinese and 1 Indonesian) who have pity on me and offer their pretty bodies for my quick sex urges, which are never fully satisfied anyway.
Oh..and I've a microscopic swiming pool in my condo which I occasionally use in summer. Oh..needless to say I'm in front of this bloody computer for quite a few hours a day
Planning to further reduce my working hour as are becoming too stressful
Just about that. I don't need more. Starting from this year will reduce my business travelling, since has become quite worthless and increase my holiday travelling.Do only what you think it's good for you, and not what others think should be good for you!

how about trading shares and losing the retirement nest egg during the daytime, and drowning the sorrows at night....
Should fill in 5 days easily enough

Woodsball/Scenario is paintball, but we all have proper battle dress uniforms (BDU for short), we do up out markers/gun to look like real M16's/M4's/MP5's e.t.c and run scenario drill like "Black Hawk Down" or "Battle of the Bulge". Each scenario game has an objective that we have to complete to win. I love it!!
Pretty much, its like being in the army/marines on a mission, but it is all for fun. Like playing "toy soldier" when you were young But now Im all grown up! (Kind of )
