In French it translates to "Close to the Kilometer!"....an article featuring the same guys from 4 months ago which were highlighted by Professor Bauduin in the Besix cover up story, who now through his contacts provides official GPS updates and design changes throughout construction on my dubaimegaprojects website, which yesterday I recall you saying was "full of shit!".

That April quote you throw around as fact, originated from the same guy, through my website in October last year, before it was even made public that the original curtain wall contrators had lost the contract to The Al Abbar Group. That's at the same time 90% of the people here thought it was "rubbish" too. Would you care to retract your comments, or do you wish to carry on making yourself look like a complete idiot?

Cool sign. I was under the impression that there wern't strict fines like these, you know, to fit in with the cheep labour and humans rights violations.

At the rate of construction it seems like I'll be back in Toronto before the burj dubai passes the CN tower. I made sure to get a good look at it last time I was in toronto expecting it to be surpassed while in vancouver.

btw - What would you call someone from U.A.E. besides an U.A.E. national? Is there a single word for it, like Emeratean or something?
