MOST of the taxis don't stop for brown people, black people, women in abayas, Filipinos, locals, Arabs and people living in traffic-heavy areas. Whatever minority they do pick up will tell you they have no problems getting a taxi here. I dunno maybe because they expect big tips from them? Yeah, the...

some companies generally give 24x the salary of a dead employee as sort of life insurance to the bereaved family Forgetting for a minute that the definition of "salary" excludes accomodation and tranportation allowances, it seems to be that 24 x salary is a very generous and could be a la...

Always a good way to get people around to your cause.....

espcially if the guy does not speak arabic.

Oh forget it...

Here is a suggestion:

Make Up A Sign on a A4 piece of paper that says



I TIP

And hold it up when hailing a cab - you should have no problems...

Ok it is a slow day... As I remember it, the following took place in 2007 "at" Dubai Forums. 1. Fayz & Kanelli got into a huge fight. 2. Fayz & Kanelli became parents. 3. Kanelli retired from DF. 4. HP met some DF members. 5. Sage reached 10,000 posts. 6. Games Forum was created (s...

It's an automatic setting that changes with your number of posts, etc. Means nothing. See rule "1" above.

Yay!!!! Weclome back Concord.. Victory for freedom fighters ..may truth, equality and commonsense prevail !!!! :D Freedom fighter :roll: I think the guy is just an overly aggressive pain in the ars$e myself. I'm annoyed at most of his posts most of the time (and I am probably not alone). How do you...

all these discussions have left me slightly confused... ;) Lemme ask a simple question I'm a non muslim resident expat in dubai. I do not have liquor permit. If i buy 4 ltrs of alcohol at the airport duty free, am i legally allowed to keep & consume the liquor at my home in dubai? wooof!! cheer...

Giving press conferences about the hard labor convictions I suppose.

BTW C0nc0rd (if that is the real you... perhaps the real one is still lagging in ban limbo and you are an imposition) ... aren't you supposed to be getting back to ^ian^ about something?

Done.

What is the city like in February? What's there to do during the month? YOU WILL FREEZE YOUR BALLS - EVEN IF YOU DO NOT HAVE ANY! It is below zero (C) for an average of 25 days of the month and the average temperature in February is 25.4 degrees F (-4 C) ...http://www.cityrating.com/cityweather.asp...

No. I am afraid, they eat dog

The reason was because in super cold weather, dog meat keeps you warm. Dog is "heaty" so it helps eating it in cold weather. - So I was told. You see more dog stalls in north vietnam (eg Hanoi) than the south (saigon). I supposed it has to do with the weather temperature. When asked why t...

I love dog.

Eskimos are Asian. They walked over the Bering strait when it was frozen and walked all the way to Argentina - it took a while. I know this because Sage told me: he was there.

Certainly a terrible tragedy and travesty in Pakistan...And things will probably get worse now.

But I just thought about HP's whereabouts at the moment. Coincidence

Ok, As you might have noticed there are certain intersections/mid-sections where there might be a left/u-turn arrow traffic signal along with a stop sign. At most traffic signals there are not stop signs. I noticed that on many occasions a driver will stop at the red light (red arrow) but proceed sh...
