First i thought the shadow but nothing wrong with it (it is for a different flag out of sight in the foreground). Maybe the guys goofing off in the background?

Ambassador - initially, I didn't see anything wrong with the pic either. Now try looking at it and thinking that the shadow of the flag is the shadow of the carpet the lady's standing on.. ;) Cheers, Shafique I thought so too but nothing wrong with the shadow. The shadow of the flag is for a flag (...

If the cat belongs to them, give it back. Sometimes animals wander off...

If you really want a cat contact Feline Friends in Dubai - they will be happy to help you find a nice cat.

i'm not a crier...many around me are. but today i saw a news clip of a wunded soldier carrying the olympic torch in london...his name is parkinson i believe. breaks your heart and gives you hope in humanity... he sacrificed and suffered/ suffers much, yet he smiles... one of the reasons i let pettin...

I hear a lot about 'diversity' and 'intigration'...diversified cities, workplaces, schools, etc My experience is that the 'diversity' and 'intigration' is more perceived than real. I think schools (higher learning) do have more diversity though the intigration still lags behing. One of the cities wh...

I thought it was misspelled (or pelt) but... That is my experience, diversity in cities (i.e. people from many places) but segregation when it comes to living and working...Mauritius (spent time there as a child - on the way -...)

diversity in cities (i.e. people from many places) but segregation when it comes to living and working That is true, because I guess it is easier to segregate on language and nationality. But what can be done to make it better? Oh, it is easy... Befriend people from a diffent race, religion, cultur...

It is not that easy, normally I see lack of trust, hence people are not that forthcoming to becoming friends. Normally, people trust more from their own language or nationality, hence segregation happens in the first place. Someone has to make a change - it could be you. One by one, by one, by one...

To the olympics?

I love the olympic games...specially all the individual events. So much work by these athletes.

HOWEVER, I refuse to watch a second of any event where professionals are involved (e.g. Basketball, tennis, soccer, cycling, etc.).

I imagine there some celebrating in America.

No. Please send video.

thank you for your generous insight into this matter. does anyone who not named ambassador know where in dubai, is a good place to go tonight? it only took me a a week or so to realize that americans are population minorities here but only three hours to realize americans are high iq minorities. Am...

Yesterday under the influence of a few Schnapps, I adopted a seeing-eye dog. Her name is Artan. Artan.jpg How sweet! How are seeing-eye dogs treated in Dubai? Are they allowed? You mean a potential seeing-eye dog. It requires a lot of training and patience (for you and by you - and the dog). Good l...

I don't agree. Just don't click on it. Better still, stay away from 'politics' leave it to hair dressers and taxi drivers-where it belongs.

a potential seeing-eye dog :-). Yes you're right, not all pups become a seeing-eye dog in the end. I'm not training her. After a year she will stay in a training facility. "Good luck" Thanks. I figured. Good luck. I've done it before. You must be calm/relaxed around the puppy no matter wh...

Agree, specially after what happened to the USS Cole...

I went to the movies in Dubai once...never again!

Andy, by now you might have realized that banning BM was a mistake. I say that as the forum is now dead (really). Those pushing for her banning have either gone away (or in my opinion have no creativity and are a 'one topic' click - i.e. pick on someone, etc. And have nothing original to contribute....

drewpeacock wrote:Looks like even the topic has brought the forum to life which has otherwise been dead.

Yes, the point of the thread otherwise dead..

Speaking of dead; DK, you still alive? How?

Ambassador , Are you trying out your diplomatic skills on DF? :) Anyway, I for one am not in favour of banning anyone. Its counter-productive in the long run on a forum like this. Considering the sensitivities of the region, however, posters should know what to post and how. A maximum ban should be...

Hey chocs, et. al., I think the fact that BM keeps resurfacing under other names demonstrates how futile 'banning' is. I was not around during whatever happened regarding 'personal' info, who offended whom, etc. which lead to BM's (or anyone else's ban). If you think about it, if BM's intent was to ...

I want to be like Missy Franklin...all around amazing!

Really!

Yes, not bad.

I don't like any games where 'knowledge' of factoids is a determinant. I like pictionary...

This might be a belated post...but nevertheless, welcome back BM. I've said it before (don't do pm's or other forums within DF)- BM was (is)good for the 'flow' of DF...if you are looking for morality, spirtuality, relegious solidarity, free psychological / therapy, you are in the wrong place. BM, ho...

Happy New Year.

Umm, isn't there a prominent Sheik Zayed road in Dubai already?
