amazing what the internet can do these days

I wonder if you could work off of two passports to avoid having to stay out of the country for 30 days.
As long as you left on the same passport you arrive on then surely it would be OK.

If I'm in the outside lane, nobody in front of me and see some half wit screaming down the road approaching fast then I will pull over to let them go, no point in being stupid about it, but what gets me are the real tossers that come hard up the back of you when there's traffic in front of you. Thes...

according to the EIDA this morning the deadline is going to be extended until Dec 2010. They probably meant 2009 but I suppose an extended deadline is inevitable really.

for me the National Day holiday meant a quick disappearing act to Oman for a bit of peace and quiet. Last year I was ready to go outside swinging something heavy and hard and the line of idiots who still thought it was good fun to be revving their engines and peeping their horns like some kind of li...

they can go and do it outside their own house then, instead of keeping me up until 2am I think it was last year

most countries I have worked in treat expat workers a lot differently than local workers, but then nothing about the UAE is done to the same standards as the rest of the world anyway. Being completely selfish, I have been with the same US based global Oil company for 15 years. I'd just get moved to ...

Was that not the last St Andrews ball ? That's why so many of my countrymen went into hiding!!

what change do you want? Another monstrosity being erected in the centre of the city, random road closures, traffic tailbacks?? Taxis are always a problem, I can't think of a city in the world where you can snap your fingers and find a cab. At least they are phasing out the old scabby gold and white...

OK, this is going to sound like a pretty stupid question and I think I know the answer, but I may be wrong, so I'm looking for some expert help here. Is there, or was there ever an air service between Abu Dhabi airport and Dubai airport? I'm pretty sure no such thing exists but a couple of different...

haha, number 2, reversing for a local. No way man. I guess it probably comes down to who is in the biggest hurry. I've sat and outwaited many a fool coming the wrong way. There is a Burger King drive Thru beside me which is a prime example, the amount of people who see it as a shortcut the wrong way...

If it's not too delicate a question, ba, what denomination of Christianity do you practice? I'll admit that I assumed at first that you were Muslim, but here you are, declaring that "Christianity is the only true religion". Thanks. I can only assume that Britisharab is a member of the Ary...

It's not a chip n his shoulder it's an entire sack of potatos. I like the theory behind this, but it doesn't quite explain why he hasn't responded just yet. My working theory is that he's a coward. The reason he hasn't responded is because he's been unable to track down a suitably longwided borderl...

an anonymous phone call of a threatening nature.

Probably an overly cautious reponse until the perpetrator has been hauled out of bed at 4 in the morning and whipped with wet towels until it can be safely assumed it was a hoax.

Where's Britisharab been ????

Dubai official in "Head in the sand"shocker. It's funny how every time a negative news story about the Emirate appears then there's always a quick retraction, denial or cover up. That's what media censorship does . Spoonfeeding the masses what they need to hear. Keeps the locals subservien...

WTA threaten to pull the event from Dubai, good. The UAE set a very dangerous precedent for its self by banning Shahar Peer from the country. THe UAE wants to pimp its self to a wide spectrum of sports, tennis, football, F1 racing etc, but if that's the case it's going to have to accept that people ...

I think that the certain parties forgot that they cannot censor the press in other countries and underestimated the negativity their decisions would cause.

There's going to have to be a bit of PR spin put on to counteract the negativity.

Oh dear. Banning Israeli tennis players and some books is one thing, but if foriegners can't feel safe in a country and certainly can't expect to see proper justice dealt out to offenders of certain nationalities then it's bad news. I know it's nothing new, but I guess this shows that imparities in ...

So Dubai is going to become Abu Dhabis Sharjah?

Wait. Dubai owns property in the casino capital of the world? Was the CityCenter supposed to have a casino too? That wouldn't surprise me at all! If it was anything like the proposal that was briefly mooted to make Ajman into a Vegas type place then it would have had a casino but no gambling. Only ...

its their law and their country. The Nazis persecuted Jews, but if they'd kept it to withing their own country that would have been OK? Mugabi kills anyone who disagrees with him, rapes the soil and chases out the farmers who grew the crops to wupport his people, but that's OK because it's his coun...

dresden wrote:^ Yep. I mean how can you beat "Las Vegas" without gambiling?

Perhaps instead of "Gambling" it will be called "Risky Bartering"

Risky Bartering.....that's the best one I've read on here for a while

do you really think USA will bomb the Saudis just cos of this? no they wont. so whats the point of discussing this topic when it will be forgotten about. errrr....right. I can just see the US gathering a team of elite special forces to pound Saudi into the ground and demand women get to drive to ca...

Did you notice recently that managers are adding more and more pressure on their employees? me personally suffering so much at the moment from the burdens they are adding, and all my friends facing the same problem, in what seems to be like they are catching us from the neck. we can't complain or r...

errr KSA has a royal family. they decide what to do. me and you can discuss about it. in my opinion its rubbish that women are not allowed to drive. but is the KSA royal family going to sit and listen to me or you? everyone knows about the strict laws in KSA. what they do is up to them. me and you ...

some you win, some you lose.

Two apartments in Trump towers and an interest in the Jumeira Golf Estate, I'm guessing you're not short of a bob or two, ot at least weren't.

You didn't happen to lend Bernard Madoff a couple of bucks as well did you ?

well, there's no point in voting without some explanation as to why I voted the way I did. Personally I was offered a move with my work from Australia to Abu Dhabi. Oz was great but the work slowed down and the benefits weren't as good. All I have to pay for in Abu Dhabi is my food, water, cable TV,...

Greed is good......

I see that this was another case of Trump selling his brand rather than developing the project.
Not the first time the folically challenged one has come a cropper under such circumstances.

I'm no lawyer, but should it not be the actual developer that they try to sue?

don't you dare say hi in such a condescending tone, don't you know it's illegal to be hi in the UAE.....................

oh, hold on.......... I get it.........spreading a bit of love (which unless you're married is illegal you know)

Hello

But wat wld u do if u were an investor from the west, who is'nt all that familiar with Nakheel, but invested in this project solely becuz of trump? and wen Trump advertises, he does point to actual project developement, probably Trump offices even collect deposit payments etc. I would think that su...
