Germany Vs UAE World Cup1990

I always wondered about this match. It seems very few Emirati kids know that their team scored against Germany in the 1990 World Cup, sadly they lost 1-5 in Germany's favour. Ah well, they can see the highlights here.

For a moment I thought I'd found fame!

I opened up the latest edition of Al Ain Times to see the words 'Al Ain Taxi'. Sadly, they're not talking about me...

Gold 'n' White

(to the tune of 'Golden Brown' by The Stranglers)

Gold n white, on the Main Street
Lights are green, people will beep
Man in the front
Woman in the back
Meter is on
Bang! What is that?

(instrumental)

I've been here far too long
People smoke and make the seats pong
Taxi's too old
Passengers too bold
Don't pay the fare
What do I care?


(instrumental)

Every night after the prayer
We sit on the roundabout
Women pass, we stare
Thinking of home
Wives left behind
How lonely I feel
When these thoughts pass my mind
