When I read the first part of your post, my first thoughts were why should it bother you what your bosses wife gets from the company. She won't be the first wife on the payroll and not the last either. It really is none of your concern and I would just get on with my job and mind my own business. Th...

^^^should try the Address hotel!

Yesterday I had the pleasure of having a nosey round the new beach club at JBR on the Walk and very nice it is too! There is a huge car park so there isn't a problem if you want to park your 4x4. On entering the building you walk over, what looks like, an aquarium built into the floor. I tried to do...

I was once given a card from an Emirates airline pilot who lives in the same tower as me. I was minding my own business waiting for a taxi when he struck up a conversation with me. He asked me if I had a card, I didn't. (he was German, btw) This summer I got to know a lady who was on holiday and sta...

^^take the number 7 bus.

Oh well, save it for your return to Dubai.

Sounds really good. Is it not in the JBR service fee. Lol. No Drew, it isn't, it's a damn disgrace! When I bought my flat I was provided with a drawing of the area and I have proof that I bought two trees a 4x4 and a large landscaped area. Dubai Properties have not delivered them!!! Note to DF........

A PI is...hmm... an idea. Although it will be as hard for me to find a PI being so far from Dubai :) I wouldn't go to that trouble! I have some cards you can have. I mostly use them for card games. I'll swop you a pilot for two of your engineers :D Just to fill in the blanks....what nationality is ...

You may keep your cards as long as you use them. :) I don't think my job is that important. And the man comes from Tajikistan. I think you are missing the point Sve. Men dish out their cards to everyone and anyone in Dubai. I have never contacted anyone via his card. If there was to be a follow mee...

But a lot in Africa as well as the UAE (and I am not trying to run the UAE down here!).
Sage might be able to testify to this.

I can't say I've been bothered by mozzies in Dubai.

Webster , If you are serious and have the permission from the owner then you should contact companies who specialize in this line of work. You need to tell them exactly what you want and get three quotes for the job. You can then compare the quotes like for like. No-one will be able to give you a q...

Well, Muslim countries can wipe off israel off the map if they get together, and Israel knows this well No wonder Israel protects it's borders when there are people expressing these sentiments. Why would anyone want to wipe anyone of the map? Personally I don't agree with the politics of Iran but I...

I don't live in Dubai Sve, I'm just a frequent flier

What do you get when you cross a chicken with a concrete mixer?

A brick layer.

No way! It has to be Robin. A man definitely says 'I' more than a woman!
Was it mostly men that voted?

Omg I can't stand 'Shameless'! I used to watch it, every episode and then I went off it totally. Not sure why. There is loads of good stuff on at the moment but my favourite is Homelands. The second series has just started. It's about am American serviceman who was posted to Iraq and kidnapped for y...

I dont live in Dubai either, but I could still post on DF and talk to you Sve So why are you saying your goodbyes? Going somewhere far?? Or have you had enough of us here on DF? Or didnt we come up to your standards? Or the advice was not good enough? :( Don't despair FF, she's not going anywhere! :D

Are in store for DrewPeacock!!

All that and only suspended twice?

Congrats DP!!

I had a very relaxing week last week in Dubai. I enjoyed every day but particularly the day I spent with my friends on the Palm. They invited me to spend the day with them at their beach club. From my sunbed, I could see the Burj Khalifa, the Jumeirah Beach Hotel and the Burj Al Arab, all in the dis...

No I'm not particularly impressed with people's cards FF. I don't take it as a sign of anything when someone gives me his card. As I said that's what people do in Dubai, I've noticed. Even my friends husbands give me their cards. There is a machine in our local shopping centre that can knock you up ...

Well if you are the owner, then that's ok. It doesn't cost anything to get a quote from some professionals. I had a quote for a new bathroom in my house in the UK some years ago and it was £10k. I didn't think it was worth it so didn't go ahead. You need to get someone in to have a look at what you ...

I don't think parents should tattoo their children. That just seems wrong to me and I would support a law against it. I was just watching a piece on Sky News about the Germans making circumcision against the law. According to the news, there are 10,000 Jews and 4 million Muslims in Germany who are a...

An interesting comment from Eamon Holmes of Sky News fame. On reporting of the opening of the new St George's training centre for the England football team, Eamon said it was time the Duchess of Cambridge (Kate) should get her hair cut as she is now 30 years old. I was quite surprised at that commen...

Could it be you watched Shameless UK, and not Shameless US? Shameless US is much better than Shameless UK. Yes, it was Shameless UK, based on an estate in Manchester. I hadn't realised there was an American version, I'll look out for it. --- Oct 10, 2012 --- As for Jersey Shore, I don't think you'l...

^^^by men?

Talking of women with grey hair, there is an advert on TV at the moment for M&S. One of the models, a lovely looking woman in her early 50s, has long grey hair. its lovely and shiney but I don't like it at all. She says it's her best feature. I can't take my eyes of it when the advert comes on. ...

You are so lucky, I remember the days, way back when, when Malaria was a problem in Dubai. Really? There was a man who died recently in London of Crimean-Congo Disease. He had flown from Afghanistan via Dubai to Glasgow and became very ill. He was rushed to the Royal Free but died. The other passen...

^^^should know we have two buses a day! One at 8.15am and one at 5.30pm.

Thats a rip off for sure.

Are you saying that by being rubbish shots, no one should worry about their rockets?

We can always count on Ireland! I think Malta voted for us too. They should have too, we protected them in WW11.
