Basically they cram as many as can sit on each side, and for 1 dirham, once it's full (won't move empty), off you go.. not much safety, but for 1 dirham, oh well ....
Here you can mingle with the workers who built up Dubai from the desert.

Brihadeeswarar Temple, also known as Gangaikonda Cholapuram Temple, dedicates itself to Lord Shiva. The temple is considered as one of the largest temples in the country and is a fine example of the grandeur of Dravidian style of architecture of the Chola dynasty. The temple was built by Rajendra Chola I and was completed in the year 1035 AD.
At present the temple stands tall amongst ruining walls. The temple tower here measures 55 m in height and holds a striking similarity to the Brihadeeswarar Temple at Thanjavur; an interesting story ensues behind how this temple resembles the one at Thanjavur
According to one, Rajendra Chola I built this temple to mark his victory over the Ganges region and the Pala dynasty; another says Rajendra Chola I wanted to portray himself to be greater than his father Raja Raja Chola I, who built the big temple at Thanjavur. He built another temple with the same name and style, however, left it halfway and came to an agreement that his father's temple was bigger than his. The temple is said to have been constructed in the year 1035 AD; however, some experts says
The temple is constructed on an elevated structure along with a courtyard which measures 170 m in height and 98 m in width. The main section of the structure measures 341 ft in height and 100 ft in width with an east-west axis. Like in all other temples, Shiva is represented in the form of a lingam which is 13 ft tall. The Thanjavur temple has a straight outline, whereas, here it is a concave one and is divided into eight zones. Experts say that this feature was done intentionally to make it smaller than the Thanjavur shrine which was built by Raja Raja Chola I, who was the father of Rajendra Chola I, keeping in mind the father-son hereditary aspect; and is also considered as the female equivalent of the Big Temple.
The lingam here is considered as the largest one to be found at any temple. The idol of Nandi is sculpted in such a way that it reflects the sunlight to the sanctum. The Nandi is sculpted in stucco and fallen stones, a stone known as Chandrakanta is said to have been laid in the sanctum, which helps the area remain cool during summers and warms the area up during the winter season. A UNESCO Heritage Site One can find five shrines here and a lion well, which is said to be added during the 19th century. Apart from these, there are around 50 odd sculptures around the walls of the sanctum, in which the sculptures of Nataraja, Saraswathi and Shiva garlanding a devotee is the most prominent. There are two versions of who the devotee is, one says it is Chandesa, who was one of the 63 Nayanmars and the second version considers it as the King Rajendra I himself.
Along with the Brihadeeswarar Temple at Thanjavur and the Airavatesvara Temple at Darasuram, this architectural marvel is also conferred the title of World Heritage Site. However, the temple was added to the list of the Great Living Chola Temples only in the year 2004, since all the three shrines were built by the Cholas around the same time, between the 10th and 12th centuries CE and have many similarities shared when it comes to the architectural style and many more other facts.
The cake itself was good. Nothing really grand but it reminded be of birthday cakes for kids. Very chocolatey, rich and the smell was simply captivating

Do our actions give us fruits in this life itself? How do karmas work?
In this video, Pujya Deepakbhai gives a short example to explain how one action and the corresponding inner intent both would give its results.
The consequence of the action will be seen in this life only, but the inner intent associated with the action will give fruits in the next life.

The Crookedwood GAA 5KM road race and fun run was held in Crookedwood, Co. Westmeath, Ireland at 19:30 on Wednesday 8th August 2012. This race is another in the series of 5KM road races which have been organised by GAA clubs in Co. Westmeath over the past few months. The race started and ended at the GAA club itself and was being used as a fund-raiser for the local GAA club and teams. The hill terrain of the surrounding countryside provided a strong challenge to the participants and the course tested everyone's ability. The race route started at Crookedwood GAA grounds and proceeded up to Farnalore crossroads and then returned back to Crookedwood GAA grounds. Overall a very enjoyable evening's racing was had by all - with refreshments provided after the race. Well done to the club on the organisation of the race.

Whilst the house itself was closed this visit, the gardens, however, were open. We met up with family and did a walk up onto St. Michael's Hill and back via the parkland surrounding the house. The formal gardens were looking a little sad with just basic care being undertaken due to the Coronavirus shutdown.

The Center itself is a beautiful building on Mount Scopus overlooking the Mount of Olives, the Kidron Valley, and the Old City. The 125,000 square-foot, eight-level structure is set amid five acres of beautifully landscaped gardens. The first five levels (moving up from the lowest level) provide dormitory and apartment space for up to 170 students. Dormitory rooms accommodate four people with ample study space and a private bath. Each of these rooms has a patio overlooking the Old City. The sixth level houses a cafeteria, classrooms, computer facilities, and a gymnasium. Administrative and faculty offices are located on the seventh level, as is a 250-seat auditorium. The main entry is on the eighth level, which also contains a spectacular recital and special events auditorium with organ, lecture rooms, general and reserve libraries, offices, a domed theater, and a learning resource area. (see ce.byu.edu/jc/) ... if nothing else, go and listen to the organ. Wonderful experience.
Chawton House Library is located at Chawton House, Chawton, Hampshire. Chawton House itself is over four hundred years old, and the recorded history of the land on which it stands stretches even further back. Wikipedia
The Garden
Jane Austen was a frequent visitor to the estate, and some believe Mr Knightley’s Donwell Abbey in Austen’s Emma was modelled upon Chawton House.
The grounds have been restored to the English Landscape style popularised by Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown in the late eighteenth century, with an informal lawn and open views across the estate, including a ‘ha-ha’ (a ditch that is invisible from the distance to keep grazing animals back from the house without spoiling the view).
The south lawn leads to a lime avenue that provides distant views into the parkland beyond, as well as a ‘wilderness’ (a wooded area that appears natural while in fact being planted and tended, a feature that dates back to the seventeenth century).
The gardens feature two terraces both of which were built by Montagu Knight in the early 1900s and bear evidence of the influence of Sir Edwin Lutyens who was a close friend.
At the highest point of the grounds is the Walled Garden, built by Edward Austen, and referred to in Jane Austen’s letters (though sadly, she died before its completion). The newest addition within the Walled Garden is the Elizabeth Blackwell Herb Garden, inspired by Elizabeth Blackwell’s A Curious Herbal (1737-9), a guide to different plants and their uses in medicine. This remarkable work includes Blackwell’s detailed engravings, which she individually hand-coloured. The proceeds from this endeavour secured her husband’s release from debtor’s prison.
The gardens also feature a Fernery and a Shrubbery – the latter was typically where the ladies of the house would take their exercise in Jane Austen’s time.
Tasting Britain got the invite down to the official launch of the Leman Street Tavern (which has actually been opened and trading for a few months now). It describes itself as âa city pub for city peopleâ and, like most of the Geronimo Inns, focuses more heavily on the food offering than your âaverageâ pub. Based at the new development; Goodman Fields in Aldgate/Whitechapel, the tavern itself is stripped down and minimalist for the main part - the immediate surroundings appears to be one GIANT building site at the moment so itâs safe to say that lots is going to happen in the near future.
As for the food and drink offering, I didnât really get to try much of the food but as I understand itâs on the main part traditional British with a few updates/tweaks/modern touches - kinda like a lot of gastropubs (...dare I say it?). As for the drink - rather respectable - they donât go too deeply into any one drink category but they have a lot of stuff across the board. As you can hopefully see from the pictures, lots of new things on draught (as well as a few old favourites). No idea about the cocktail offering but they had enough whisky/whiskey/bourbon to keep me distracted for a few hours - including some less common expressions from the New York (state) based Hudson Distillery that I hadnât seen in a bar before!
As for the pub itself: the Geronimo Inns were founded by a husband and wife couple, The Clevelys, back in 1995 when they opened their first place in south-west London, the Chelsea Ram. The pair had just come back from Australia and had been inspired by the 'food ledâ pubs theyâd experienced when out there. Fast forward a few years, to December 2010 - Geronimo Inns are growing like crazy and Youngs decide to buy them out in a £60 million buyout. Nice. You take Youngs 100+ years of pub experience and combine it with the new approach the Clevelys brought to the business and you can perhaps see why theyâre still expanding now. Last time I checked they were up to 35 and are planning to open 5 more a year.
Nothing spectacular or too novel here buuuuuut a good gastropub all the same, in a great spot with a rather versatile drinks selection. The Leman Street Tavern would be well worth your time if you find yourself in Aldgate and are feel so inclined...
Designed by me for the PWEINation website (2005). 22 printed in five colours. (Never again) This first batch was printed incorrectly so the printer re-did them.
The design was a spoof of the 'Playststion' tag line. PWEI were well known for monkeying around with brand identification... see previous PWEI shirt for evidence...
