Dubai Forums

http://www.dubaiforums.com/dubai-politics-talk/poll-immigration-t44968.html Well that's confirmation for me if I ever I needed it, Bora Bora is most definitely female, she reads the Daily Mail, did you know that the Daily Mail in the UK is in fact produced and tailored towards a female audience? :s...

I hoping to get some more posts in the thread before the all mighty flex their muscles and this ends up in FC - and I only post or visit General Forum... But why? Are you scared of fight club? :D (Kidding Ambassador, you are still my most interesting newbie! :wink: ) Nah, just no interest...no inte...

I was going to say 30K...

BTW, necessary to mention that the finder is Indian?

I ws the guy wanted to round down to 117,500!

I think his mother should have married his father!

Hi all, I'm coming up to 40 this year. I initially wanted to organise a big bash in Beirut but a lot of my friends are a bit concerned with the situation there. Therefore we settled for Dubai. Where would be the best spot in town to have a memorable party and make sure they all go back to Europe wi...

I was going to post this in 'high tech' - but it seems a bit lonely down there. Has anyone got a Kindle? I've finally taken the leap and got one - it's just cleared customs and should be in my mitts tomorrow. (I like my gadgets - boys and their toys, as my wife puts it!) Cheers, Shafique Good luck ...

What did your office manager say when the guy offered him 3 dirhams? Unbelievable! Oh well, I hope that he at least feels good that he returned everything - just as he'd like to have anything missing returned to him. Ultimately he's got to feel good about doing the right thing rather than getting f...

I was thinking the same but I am far too modest

That's certainly an idea I didn't contemplate.. Any other suggestions? As a matter of fact I do. I saw this show on AlJazeera TV called "Witness" (they typically will have a story for 1/2 hour). The title of the story is "Shooting Hope" and it has to do with a Professional Leban...

Welcome back BM.

Maybe you can be allowed one of these avatar:

1. The Pope
2. Sheikh Mo

Welcome back BM. Maybe you can be allowed one of these avatar: 1. The Pope 2. Sheikh Mo hello Ambassador! Unfortunately I'm allowed neither! I was hoping to have Sheikh Hamdan, his face is all over the rear windsreens of 4x4's, or the body of David Beckham, which I wish was all over BM but I'm afra...

Close....Jayne Mansfield.

Took you longer to type the post than it takes Westeners to get a license - without a test!

Books are relatively expensive in Dubai but I love Kinokuniya at Dubai Mall (only reason I've ever been to that mall)... Shopping is so much cheaper elsewhere (outside UAE) You dont necessarily have to "purchase" a book, pdf's of almost all the popular books are floating around, just type...

2 points. 1. if I were to download on pdf then I would need to print and bind the pages to make it a "book" - would not be cheaper - and who reads A4 books (other than text books). 2. I support artists (musicians, actors, writers, etc.) so I don't download anything off the internet (excep...

Then how do you explain cafe culture in the middle east wheter it be people smoking sheesha or sipping coffee all day and night long. Wonder what they are talking about then ? I know: Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, habibi , blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah...

You joking? It is to save money or for "enviromental" reasons (often claimed by the boss who drives a hummer!)

Well I work in the observational research field

I could look it up what can you give me the abridged version of what it is...Sounds interesting.

I took a test, it was a joke compared with the Driving Test in UK, so what is the point?

Good for you, Marty...

James Bond’s next adventure will bring him to the UAE, the author of the latest novel in the secret agent series has revealed. The book, ‘Carte Blanche’, is being written by Jeffery Deaver, who said Dubai was the ideal setting for a tale of intrigue http://www.7days.ae/storydetails.php?id=101698&am...

They could ban it altoghter tommorow and I wouldn't be bothered infact I'd support that decision. Sorry mate, us infidels need our juice. It is as social as sheesha is to the arab folk. I don't mean necessarily getting all BM'ed every weekend (well, most), but a BBQ would not be the same without a ...

Great story.

Speaking of pets, I hear the Dubai Pet Show is a great day out. This year it is on 4 February at the Sevens... Might check it out. http://www.dubaipetshow.com/index.php

The term "NeuroToxin" is also a more accurate.

For pharmacy students...

For all I know we have 8 year olds and bus drivers befriending each other on DF...

I hand wrote 5 letters to friends and relatives. Real letters not just "notes". They's be surprised when they get them as no one I know ever writes letters anymore (e-mail, facebook, tweeter, you name it). And frankly, I can't recall ever doing it (other than "thank you" notes - ...

Are you really new to DF or are you someone who has reinvented themself??

Little jack1ripper is 12 years old and a member of DF. Maybe DF needs an age limit. But then again, how do you confirm when a 12 year old types in a date that says he is 18 or 19?? easy to tell...that would make him/her a fifth grader. Although there is a lot of fifth grader stuff on DF forum. The ...

I know a taxi driver, but he's not very friendly

might be becuase you are not 8 (or are you?)

@BM

allegedly - and in some forums some/typically mods delight on "finding" out "who" is "who"...waste of time if you ask me.
