Er QD's would be shut, because it's an outdoor venue and it's too hot now.

Saw this recently, thought it was good fun, something a bit more lighthearted and not so serious.

The cast were pretty good.

Although it was panned by the critics, audiences seemed to like it.

I have a question, if you want to work as cabin crew, why on earth are you talking to Dnata? You apply through the Emirates website, or the Emirates Airline recruiters. Being crew is a really hard job and yes the girls are liked to look a certain way and they have to wear specific shades of lipstick...

Akasha

Yeah it does sound like Lucy Lawless.

I think it's amazing, even our little solar system is expanding, makes you wonder what else it out there.

Akasha

Ahhhh that's a nice thought.

I don't really understand the 'open city' thing either, but the marriage agencies I think are a little silly. You can advertise for a wife/husband and get married to a virtual stranger, and yet not advertise just to share some quality time with, someone to get to know, seems really weird to me. Also...

It's definately a fine line, it's always a bit more fun if there's a bit of flirting going on, you know little glances, catching each others eyes, a smile, whatever. I don't think there's anything wrong with a guy being forward I think lots of girls like that and if a girl plays too hard to get with...

Hey All, JUst wanted to ask a little question, I've been in Dubai nearly 2 years and is it just me, but in all that time I'm still struggling just to find somewhere to truly chillout, you know where people are acting like themselves and not being pretentious wannabes in the clubs and bars. THe coffe...

Akasha

I like Army Of One, it's good to have some bands actually getting somewhere in the region.

Akasha

OMG The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe! So a childhood favourite of mine. I like Harry Potter, I know there's been lots of arguments and people getting their knickers in a twist with kids reading about wizardry and things, but you know what, at least with Harry Potter children are actually READING...

With so many stations popping up all over the place the choice seems to be getting bigger all the time.

Just wondered what stations you like listening to in the UAE?

Akasha

Wait is that 21,000 Dhs for all 4 of you? OR are both you and your husband working? With regard to beer, first of all to be able to buy it you have to apply for a liquor licence and if you're working for the government good luck with applying for that! It gievs you a monthly allowance, otherwise you...

Akasha

And you can buy booze at the airport when you land.

Don't mean to be rude but to be so concerned about getting your hands on booze is kinda sad, remember you are coming to a Muslim country - OMG what will happen during Ramadan when everything is dry - ahhh tragedy!

Akasha

Hiya, No problem at all. I've been in Dubai 2 years now, although my parents have been here nearly 8! The time has absolutely flown by I have to say, living is pretty easy here, once you've got yourself sorted and trust me the first fews months you will be running around like a blue arsed fly, sorti...

Akasha

Hey,

Don't get frustrated, sometimes people wait ages to get in.

What exactly did they tell you, did you ask for any feedback as to why they didn't accept you?

If you can't get inot Eimates, what about Gulf Air? Etihad Airways etc?

Akasha

Er Major, these were the sort of places I was trying to avoid! ok guys here's the list of the hottest place to just be yourself and get totally wild...... 1) Lodge every tuesday .... ladies night ... totally free drinks for ladies groove with DJ jaysun and the new generations So old hat now, full of...

Akasha

Hey trust me it's not like I don't know how to party! I have plenty of friends to go out with and I don't want to just drink - not a big drinker, it's so not the point. And I don't want to blend in with the crowd. I just want somewhere where you can actually talk to your mates without yelling all ni...

Akasha

Sadly BrownEyez is right, the US government is coming under increasing critisism because there is a total disorganisation in getting aid to those that need it, which in this case those that need it the most are the black and poor areas of New Orleans. It shouldn't matter at all as these are human be...

Akasha

No guys look at ALL the dates on the board, showing different years! Think it's gone wacko.

Akasha

Good point Distressed. Another thing I was wondering about and it might seem silly but if you know you live in an area which is affected by hurricanes and tornados on a yearly basis, apparently these places average around 6 a year. Then why on earth are many of the buildings still constructed of woo...

Akasha

Is it just me or is it starting to look like the forum needs a dating section.

Akasha

Bobbie, That's great news. Stainless, I apologise, with the current slant the media are putting on it, it's easy to forget that so many people are caught up on it, I guess it's the angle they're taking right now. I had to laugh at some news footage yesterday though, where all the streats were floode...

Akasha

Seems that way doesn't it.

Hey Major, you're a DJ? What kinda music do you spin? Do you DJ in Dubai?

Akasha

I'd really love to, but I pass out whenever I have blood taken for a test - geeeezzzzz.

Akasha

Hey All, Haven't been around for ages I know, but I'd like your input please. I'm doing some research into door policies for clubs and bars in Dubai and would like to know what you think of them at various venues and your personal experiences at the door. Please be as constructive as you can. Thanks...

Akasha

I just don't have the words to discribe how awful that is. I've always heard nasty things about the fur industry, but to actually see it is beyond belief.

A UAE national radio station is looking for young, raw talent to start the next generation of presenters. Currently looking for weekend freelancers to train up, who would also be available for cover work when it arises. Particularly interested in female talent - there's not enough girlies getting in...

Akasha

It's important to keep in mind that this woman is charged not for being raped but for having pre-marital s.ex before her rape. As the law of the land (Islamic law), I agree that she should be charged for having pre-marital s.ex. Why? Isn't that a double standard, when men get away with it all the t...

The act of terrorism is to instill 'terror' into whoever your target or target group happens to be. You can't simply label one group of people terrorists and not others. For me I define this act as a racially motivated act of terrorism. The IRA were not Islamists, yet they were/are still terrorists.

Akasha

The definition of Terrorism also includes groups that would terrorise others for their own ideologies i.e. that whites are more superior to blacks, Jews are inferior to the Nazis etc etc therefore it still falls under terrorism.
