Dude... you failed.

Is there any home finance in UAE available that doesnt require your salary atleast 8000 dhs. I want to buy a property in sharah through a local, the price is 500,000 dhs. But all banks require salary atleast 8000 dhs. The total household income is 12000 dhs. Can someone help? It would take approx 4...

Yes but what other members of the family? If it is your wife and yourself you can do a joint loan application.

If it's your best friend... you're out of luck.

I got some Xbox games ok from the UK with eBay, so it does work, just not much locally.

You could try the local equiv. http://www.souq.com

The etisalat rates are waaaaay over the top though.

You could use wifi if your phone has it (mine does), and then use a nice piece of software called Fring.... but then, there's SFA free WiFi in Dubai as well.

I remember reading about this a year ago, back then the site looked like a rather poor ripoff of eBay, but the guy got the domain fair and square. Now it seems though he's trying to mislead people.

Do you guys ever have problems with stuff coming through customs from abroad? I use ebay mainly for electronics and some car parts. Funny you should mention that. I got a phonecall from Gulf Cargo last week, saying that they had some stuff for me there that got stopped. 1.5 Litres of Mineral Turpen...

the dust hasn't even settled from the last shenanigans and now you're out in the real world telling people that the 'over the hill American so and so' and the 'washed up Aussie guy' are 'causing nothing but trouble online and offline'. Tsk Tsk. It's bad enough you can't win your battles online witho...

Ok here is a nice suggestion. Try expatwoman.com forum. The users are generally ladies with children, and many living in the same area as you and may be able to get more responses to your questions.

Good because that bloody big eye scares the shizzle out of me.

the nearest staff accomodation to the JBH/Emirates Towers is behind the Metropolitan on SZR You will find that if you take a bee line from JBH towards Al Khail Road, that there is staff-accom-a-plenty in Al Quoz.

Don't kid yourself. I have seen it happen in many countries. I have no sympathy for non-handicaps who park in handicap spaces.

With no quals, don't expect her to get a great job.

Hey that was a fast reply. Many Thanks. We have discussed it, and she is happy to work in a shop etc. She thinks that it will be worth putting her career on hold for now to experience Dubai. My job should pay well enough, accom is included etc, so we should be fine for money. Thanks OK, perhaps you...

Ah for some reason on first glance I thought he said 'no degree'.

My bad.

Among all the hotel bars and nightclubs, I figured they'd forget to add a mosque, just like they initially forgot with all the other freehold areas. Well, they probably did... so they thought 'lets have a floating mosque'. It's disgraceful the nearest Mosque to the Marina is in Knowledge Village.

Hahah. Skills are in demand too!!!! Massive shortage of skilled marketers in this place.

The World Health Organisation says you cannot get it from cooked chicken.

So that's it.

Look, Bird Flu was only invented to make pharma companies rich anyway.

I dunno. Some say you get them even from cooked birds. Maybe if not well done. OT: why do they call it "Asian" bird flu when they don't call the most dreaded desease "Western" or "African" AIDS? hmmm...... :wink: Because the strain HN51 was first detected in Asia. That...
