I admit that geeky people have been responsible for technological inventions such as Windows, The Internet and Google, but in all honesty, our reliance on these things has cost us plenty in terms of innovation. These days people think innovation is coming up with a groovy website that does something...

That's why I wrote it.

yeah i know you are a genius, i can tell, but seriously now, are you a geek? i guess yeah, tsok tsok tsok. Whilst I have geekish tendencies (for example, I own a PDA and not only do I know what a cantenna is, I've built one) I doubt I could be classified as a true geek, quite simply because I'm goo...

i love having technology, but i love the technology that i can really use, for example, i will never by a GPS device, cuz i can buy a symbian phone and i can use it as a GPS device as well, Where I would use a street directory or memorise the map. i'm not a geek because i don't really care to learn...

Maybe. It's a bit hot here for an anorak though.

Dear users of DubaiForums.com, everyday i'm looking the topics and i see that you provide a lot of info regarding Dubai (jobs, living cost, etc.). Well i need (again) your help, i'm planning to sell all my furniture in Cyprus and my car and move to Dubai. As I mention in a previous topic i'm trying...

When my grandmother was dying, I was in Brisbane working at the time. I received the phonecall she was on her deathbed and left work at 8 pm and drove straight to Yeppoon (800 klms). I arrived there at 7:30 am in the morning and walked into the room where my mother was beside the bed, and as soon as...

OK, I have got my residency (YAY!) and now I need my DL. I am on the list of countries where I can changeover, and I have everything I need to change it over but I need just one thing.

Where do I go to do it?

Finally I got my residency.... woohoo!!



Oh.. and I need some help with a little thing:

Um... we've been drinking alcohol since we got here. Oh, I left a full bottle of Jamesons at your house too. I drank about a quarter of the one you had opened though.

Awesome thanks. I'll go during lunch tomorrow.

I assume it doesn't take long. Do they do the eye test there?

I-No-Jack wrote:now that it is public knowledge that you were working without a permit your butt will be deported

or was it volunteer work you been doing

Considering who I work for, I doubt that will be a problem.

zam wrote:hmmm...you work in a company of a sheikh? or some biggy deal org?

Either way, this is not the place to discuss it. I just thought I'd point out, it's not a problem.

sharewadi wrote:Wasn't there something about having to do eye test at an optician and bringing document to traffic department?

I'd expect nothing less of Dubai, but perhaps they've streamlined this because of the sheer volume.

My post is off limits to you.

I think if I soldiered on to Rockbottom I would have been a no-show today.

We woulda really have hit "rock" bottom if we did...

It truly is Rockbottom. Dubai has some interesting places... Rockbottom, Rattlesnake.... The Cyclone.

Which reminds me... a "Boys night out." was discussed last night... is anyone interested? Waf was keen to check out the Cyclone... only for curioisities sake.

I'm going to start a separate thread on it.

OK, the venue is to be decided and the date is to be decided. Please make suggestions in here, and we will finalise time/venue through PM.

As for the venue(s) it has to meet some criteria such as:

(1) The seedier the better.
(2) ?

Put your name down and an idea for a location.

Yeah I've heard it's pretty seedy, but a lot of Bikie's go there. (Is this true do they have bikies in Dubai?) We don't want trouble... well, not that kind of trouble anyway. yeah they have a pretty big harley club here...and the riders meet up for dawn curcuits...read about it somewhere...also had...

venue 1>Cyclone (never been there :oops: ) 2>Amnesia (really wanna go there :oops: ) 3> Good Fellas (been there...but only to wink and drink :oops: ) 4>Dubai Knights place...with a Belly dancer...wuuuhuuu Cyclone is a bit predictable. We shouldn't rule out other Emirates either, but I guess the act...

OK, if we're doing a pub crawl, we'll need T-shirts.

To answer your Q above...if its still forgivable? Yeah I think so but just not yet...maybe after gazillion years it will be. :) Unforgivable. Ring the police and accuse him of being a trickster. You will find they should actually be sympathetic to your cause, so long as you can prove you had no imp...

Watch the DFM Boys Night out thread, you're sure to see some interesting club names pop up.

Guys what your saying can be easily said than done. How on earth can he nail that b@stard :?: Any idea :?: Without any paperwork or proof :?: She should go to CID with her story. It is their job to assemble the proof, or at least investigate. It would help if she knows someone in the Police that co...
