How about those phone straps?

I promise I'll let you use the phone sans strap so you can "fight"...

I think there might be a market for those things

I heard that Dubai taxis will know be selling bottled water (starting with 350 taxis).

Is Dubai that hard up for cash?

How'bout 1000 times faster :shock: (CNN) -- If you want the fastest internet connection in America, it may be wise to skip Silicon Valley and New York. Instead, look to southern Tennessee.

Does it take to... On a serious note; how many Expats in this Forum for whom Arabic is not their "native" tongue speak Arabic fluently? I've noted that a few on this forum have been lived in the UAE for a while. I am determined to learn the language (languages come easy to me) but noticed ...

It is not just that they put Mubarak in the "leading" position but it appear to be a different photo of him. Why did they have to change the color of the border on the carpet too.

I dont live in UAE, but I know Arabic (I m not very fluent in speaking, but am good at reading and compehension). It s not my first language but as Arabic share the same alphabet and lots of similar words with persian, so it was much easier for me to learn it. well I started a little Spanish and Ge...

That is what I thought at first but the hands are at different elevations (look at the one without the bit of shirt cuff showing).

@BM. No.

@BB. I think you misread my post.

با تشکر.

@BM. No. I'm very pleased to hear that as this is basic English grammar, an easy mistake to make for someone who does not have English as their first language, but taught at junior school level in the UK. Really? Not news I suppose (regarding 4th grade grammar anyway). About you being a teacher: If...

@BBR and BB, I undestand that Moroccan Arabic is quite different and Algerian Arabic is to Arabic as Japanese is to Chinese! I will learn Arabic in the UAE...So it maybe be like a mix o f Scottish/American /Australian English accent. BTW what is the "neutral" Arabic accent. In comparison t...

That part can be explained by "mirror imaging" the position of the hands (length wise) can't.

I guess no one here other than Arabs speaks it

@BM Yes.

Came upon this story: Jews throughout Williamsburg snapped up caffeine suppositories today, hours before the start of the Yom Kippur fast that would deprive them of the jolt — and hunger suppression — that coffee typically provides. The day-long fast is the centerpiece of the holiest day on the Jewi...
