......hope u get another means of living soon Another means of living? How? Consider that to even get a job in Dubai you have to be specialised in your field... they don't just hire anyone to be HR Managers, they hire people qualified in HR. And what other means of living will HR Managers be able t...

I was more shocked by the statement that people who are born here are not 'from here' instead from their parents country. As an individual, what do they know of their parents country? Very little, and this is supposed to be their home. I think it's a difficult situation this nationalisation. I can s...

Like it or not, thats what we all sign up for, Not sure your friends son signed up for that. It is of course a fact of life that eventually they will start to force companies to accept Nationals into their work force. And why not, providing of course that they can do the job that they are being emp...

Wow, who would think you could find such an attractive opportunity posted blindly on the forum by a member with only 1 post?

Can you please send me more details?

Perhaps by local he meant non-tourists and not just nationals?

No Liban is right. They banned internet cafes shortly before they banned a sense of humour.

Hi there,

I'm looking for an online computer store where I can order computer components etc. Anyone know anything like that in Dubai?

Thanks

Ian

Hrmmm.. nothing on the components side though.

I was particularly after things like processors, motherboards etc.

For the safety of the forum I think thongs should be referred to as their other name - pluggers. For some reason people call them flip-flops... but I don't like that name. And yes its fine, I wear them all the time. It's pretty much fine to wear most wear that is acceptable in public in Australia. D...

I've just finished reading a fascinating book that I recommend to everyone[/qupte] I read it, but I didn't think it was *that* fascinating, it could have been about half the size that it was and more direct to the point. I didn't find too much about the economic theory 'eye-popping' as the reviews ...

He's moving from there buddy.

OK. I won't make any more jokes, seems nobody has a sense of humour on this forum today.

The best things is the restaurants I feel. I think the variety and quality is exceptional and something to be truly enjoyed... although its hard to find a good laksa.

I think you might be dillusional Ian. Sure, variety is good, but authenticity (ergo quality) very lacking. Well you know, I do tend ...

We had a very good one in Australia - www.umart.com.au

Something like that would be great.

Where do you guys get your computer components from to build computers?

aaaah, that,,,,,dont know of any in UAE, sorry, I neet a Network Monitoring tool to monitor the users on my network and how much bandwidht they occupy on the Internet. Web traffic or all traffic. Web traffic you should be able to handle easily by setting up a transparent proxy and monitoring it at ...

Related to this how do the turbos handle the heat? I had a Nissan 200SX in Australia with a SR20DET 2L turbo and it would bog down in the heat. Can't imagine they'd like Dubai much.

Whilst jobs for 40,000 AED per month do exist, its not a simple matter of plucking them off trees.

I have noticed a lot of people seem to go on how they don't like Modhesh. Personally, I think he's pretty cool and a good brand and ambassador for Dubai. Some people think he's an annoying spring.

What do you think?

Yes but why?

^ian^

I pity the people who can't stop and smell the roses and can't have a bit of fun.

I find Modhesh quite 'fun' and you know, when you've got the sh!ts in traffic, he can help relax you.

Sorry guys but I think you are missing the point when it comes to Mobiles. Firstly - Nokia have an 85% market share in the Middle East (up 10% from last year) and the trend continues to grow. Nokia is the worlds leading mobile handset and software manufacturer and those of you who love the Motorola...
