Heheh, that's what I did. Used Fillful and it worked a treat, takes that headache away for good.

My nicknames means....

nevermind, although the little ^ are supposed to be horns.

It would be cool to get together this weekend as well, although I think "Scarlet" wants to go to the beach. Do you want me to send through a list of things I'm good at and things I'm not :P Do they have go-cart racing in Dubai? we're sort of leaning more towards a less strenious activity....

What about a game of cricket

Annying how when you fail one level you go straight back to the start.

Thumbs down because of that.

Who have you been talking to?

There is no doubt there will be an oversupply, and I think we might see the tipping point sooner than expected. Although I've only been here a couple of weeks, the number of buildings being constructed and the number of available apartments (even buildings becoming ready to occupy now) will soon see...

The plain fact is that many people are finding that they are no better off/worse off than they were in say the UK I would have to say if money was your sole reason for moving to Dubai, you need to apply the rule of 'all good things' to it and move on somewhere else. I think salaries here for certai...

Could somebody help to find a reliable real estate Thanks You will find them at the same place where they hand out free Porsches and Elvis is on hand to give you autographs. i.e. I've yet to find anyone in Real Estate reliable. Even when you do find a place, the price automatically jumps 5-10,000 A...

Predictably the real estate guy rang back tonight, I didn't take the call because I was watching a movie at the cinema, but I can't honestly say I want to deal with a liar. Audrey, have you got an 1/2 bedrooms for a decent price at a decent place that aren't going to magically jump in price or cease...

There would be no wars...

just sever negotiations every 28 days.

There would be no wars... just sever negotiations every 28 days. oh give me a break. no wars?? the nieghbors dog messes up your garden and you'd nuke the hell out of them Pfft. No they wouldn't, there'd just be icy relations, no sms's returned or calls answered, spend more time with the other neigh...

To make the bans work here we put the responsibility on the venue not the smoker .... i.e. if a bar is found to be breaching the no smoking laws then they get fined heavily. This way it is clearly within their best interest to enforce the law and remove anyone who breaks it. There was alot of prote...

On another note with respect to what is categorised as a smoking related death: If you eat 20 cheeseburgers and 2 litres of coke a day and smoke, if you die of a heart attack, this is a smoking related death. If you worked in an aluminium smelter and smoke, even if its the bauxite dust that kills yo...

You could always sit in the kids party area.

Probably a bit late - but just walk away. Telling somebody there is something wrong with their organisation is a lesson they never want to hear, it is one that can only be taught through experience. If they don't know its up the clacker, and they can't see it, then they won't see it through you tell...

Anyone know where in Dubai on Sunday I can go to catch the Rugby game of Australia Vs. England which should kickoff around lunch time?

Yes I am desperate!! No, I'm not a fan of soccer (fooootball).

Dirty 30.

One of these nights - The Eagles.

I didn't look up the UK charts since it has been obvious for decades, that whilst the Uk turs out some supreme musicians, their overall taste in music is shite.

Just wondering what the availability and selection of good quality wine in Dubai is? Or is it more than worth while to stock up and ship over my collection or does this cause problems with duty etc I wonder too... the availability is quite low. If anyone is ever interested in starting a wine import...

Yes Liban, we know you prefer the sport of trolling.

Anyone with a worthwhile contribution to my dillemma?

Without context its hard to say. A woman swearing in general conversation is a bit of a put off, but if she just had someone hit her toe with a hammer - it is understandable. A woman chain smoking (with the teeth to match) is dreadful, but a woman smoking elegantly across a bar (especially if she's ...

I think what cutie is saying is how do we feel after being lured by the magic of Dubai, only to find that things might be different and somewhat harder. Honestly though, people love to complain, and I wonder if its the high number of UK people living in Dubai that has lead to complaining becoming a ...

If caught drinking wine here they will uncork the bottle and jam it up your arse and turn you upside down will shotting the cork multiple times at your balls with a slingshot. Its basic UAE law. Really, and yet basic UAE law doesn't extend to hotels nor the Aviation Club? This is Dubai, not Sharjah...

Anyone with a worthwhile contribution to my dillemma? People die in wars all over the world and in famines and whatnot and you consider your difficulty in watching rugby to be a dilemma? :shock: Chill out buddy I am just pulling your leg :) My difficulty in watching Rugby is indeed a dilemma. I thi...

Thats why the places you mentionned have them...

Anyone would think you're just trying to boost your post count.

Liban wrote:OK, what part of me saying that "I am pulling your leg" are you having trouble understanding?

Nothing, can you have a rest and stop clogging the post so somebody *can* actually respond to my query?

This topic is too cheesy for me.

Where are you from originally??

Shhh... I might be famous.

Prime sports screen rugby I don't have a TV. FYI, the year is 2006.... FYI I arrived a month ago with 2 suitcases, and a TV is down the list of priorities. Even when it does get to the top of the list, I don't view a TV as something that would get a lot of use, it didn't in Australia. I only watch ...
