I bet you were on pins for those 10 days. Was the American embassy helpful? Lucky you were'nt suspected of being a terrorist or something You need to read the book! It's well worth a read. :D If you are in Dubai, you won't be able to buy it as it is banned but you can download it. I'm sure Herve wi...

True Zubber and it's usually due to trauma more than anything. Although the human body is incredibly resiliant and can overcome all manner of injuries, sometimes it does just linger. Spinal issues are very complex and sometimes it can be the simplest thing that can cure pain. Two Ibroprofen and a g...

While I totally agree that children must be strapped into child seats and not carried on parents laps in the vehicle, I can't see what benefit locking the father up would achieve. I would think it punishment enough that his child has died and that his wife is injured. What more would be achieved by ...

Weren't you Sal who offered to meet me outside the fish shop?

I waited all night!

Bora, if someone killed a member of my family through reckless driving, then yes, I would want him jailed. But this man killed his own child. Now I'm presuming he is a normal individual here, surely what punishment could be worse? I know I would have difficulty living with mtyself, if it was me. As ...

Why would you pay to have stuff shipped from Dubai to Aus then have a garage sale. That would make a lot of sense wouldn't it!

IMHO in the GCC countries , their tyrants (rulers) have become addicted to power and wiping their A$$ with crisp Cnote Dollar bills , Unfortunately change could only be brought about with force It didn't take you long to become disillusioned Zubber. You've only been in the UAE two minutes. As far a...

I disagree Mahmoud, about 9 months is a nice age, then they should be put in a box and brought out again at about age 18. Children are vastly over rated. I'd rather have a BMW.

Silly Sal the Italian Stallion, or so I hoped.

He's been taking lessons from you!

Murder's a bit harsh. I feel sorry for the family. It was an accident and I'm sure he will be beside himself with guilt in killing his baby. On hindsight how many off us wish we hadn't done something? His mistake had terrible consequences. Poor people.

^^^has a bad back

What's he going through Ben? Well I hope I never get to experience it. Uaekid is just showing some compassion, a thing we could all do with showing more of sometimes. Nobody's saying what the parents did wasn't wrong, it was.

The man in question was said to be Asian, not Emirati.

Because they are totally corrupt!

Only if it had a top of the range sound system to drown it out. (And a child safety seat with the British Kite mark to prove I was a jolly good mother).

I never wash mushrooms but peel them, just wipe tomatoes if I remember and never peel or wash cucumbers. I can't remember the last time anyone in my family was physically sick. (oh yes, it was from a burger Beth ate in the Atlantis last year). When Beth was a baby she was breast fed and then I gradu...

BM, I have compassion for this man. The guilt he has to live with everyday is beyond belief. But it doesn't mean he shouldn't be held responsible for endangering his child by being reckless and irresponsible. Because it's his daughter that died, doesn't change the fact that he committed a crime whi...

I was having lamb chops till I saw that lot!

I'm going to have to have a rethink now.

But BM, we live in a country where a pregnant woman can be charged with harming her unborn child, because she shouldn't be driving in case of an accident! :shock: Well Chocs, If I remember rightly, when I lived in Germany, pregnant women weren't allowed to drive after 7 months. At the end of the da...

You should always wash fruit and veg, bearing in mind how some people handle produce and don't wash their hands after using the loo! BM, milk is a different matter. Unpasturized milk or Green or Gold top as it were back in the day is ok as the enzymes in the milk actually kill off any nasties. I us...

I always ask for a fresh bowl of nuts

I'm very particular about the nuts I put in my mouth too Chocs. You just can't be too careful

^^^should tell the person above you, Mel, that I've just returned to dear old England, to rain and temperatures of 11c! Oh joy!
The next Dubai trip is planned for mid August to early September.
You're welcome to visit Mel!

I would also say it's absurd for the state to fund religious groups, regardless of their views Agreed EH. The UK government is finally getting the message that the British people (real Brits, not pretendy Brits) are sick of the Muslims trying to take over. It isn't going to happen. I'm liking David...

Wow! Fancy that! Barack Obama posting on DF! Can I ask you where your wife buys her cardigans? I'm a big fan of her clothes What a big girl she is! Longer than the dark nights

And they bite!

I was going to tell you about a story about ants and dirty laundry when we lived in Cyprus, but every time I tell it someone gags so I'll spare you
