I think it's just a sign of insecurity.

I'm sure they could get most of the cars on SZR to turn their lights out in support of earth day. But seriously, switching the lights off for an hour is all very well as far as media bites go, but surely the efforts of the UAE would be better spent trying to implement enviromentally friendly measure...

Whistling, Loud conversations and laughter should be avoided.

I'm particularly keen to see this one enforced.

Not sure what it's like in Dubai but in Abu Dhabi the gold and white taxi drivers turn into criminals as soon as the sun goes down. For me it would be between 5 and 10 dirhams to get home but I've had taxi drivers try to charge anything up to 50 or 60 dirhams. I have stopped arguing with them now, I...

Don;t worry Chocs, they'll switch off some lights for an hour to show the world just how enviromentally friendly Dubai is..... what a joke.

right then, just to put one part of this thread to bed and hopefully shut up the judgmental rudeboy on this, The British Embassy and Govt will not step in and interfere with any judicial proceedings taken against a British citizen abroad, unless their life is in danger, ie the Pakistan story that wa...

Good, and while we're at it can we have 50,000AED fine for turning in the wrong lane, 75,000 fine for not giving way and 100,000AED fine for cutting in front of the queue at traffic lights.
It's the only way these ignorant killers will learn their lesson.

looks like there's a battle to see who can outspin who going on.....

Al Jazeera do show a wide rtange of stuff, although they used to show the Grand Prixs last year, but no luck this season.
In fact, the only channel I could find the Malaysian GP on was Bahrain TV.

A miserable situation of Labour camp in Dubai. http://www.arabianbusiness.com/index2.php?option=com_gallery&id=552873&ln=en nonsence, I've got an exclusive preview of the Gulf News ministry approved pictures of the updated labour camp situation http://imageseu.holiday-rentals.co.uk/vd2/file...

I actually don't get hassled much on the road, I'm sorry but having a luxury SUV really does spare you the worst and somehow people do think twice before flashing, honking, cutting you off or tailgating, but still not totally immune from it. But really doesnt bother me much. thisis the bit I like b...

Not so unbeliveable. It is in all essence an end of sezason friendly.

This is one of the most ridiculous things I have heard of. If they want to alter the schooling day for local schools then go ahead, fill yer boots.....but the expat private schools work a different syllabus. As much as I love my kids, the thought of them being off school for 1/4 of a year makes me s...

Anybody got one of Etisalats HD boxes yet? I see that they finally caught onto the world of HD broadcasting. 999 dirhams seems a bit steep for the box, but depending it can't be any worse than the standard Etisalat box. Just wondering if you can set it to record an entire series onto the hard drive ...

CVB

being a suitably suspicious kind of guy I didn't download the patch, and for that i am now very thankful. I'll be giving anything Etisalat try to force on me a body swerve from now on.

CVB

i have estisalats hd boxes yeah thats the original price that i bought it.. if your recording an entire series yeah its possible... I decided to get one, it's not bad but the series link only records the same channel at teh same time every day/week rather than actually recording that series wheneve...

In short.....no. Certainly not legitimately anyway. Since censorship is still prevalent in the UAE the authorities control what is available to watch, listen to, read etc..... Certainly when we were moving our relocation agents wouldn;t allow us to take anything that could receive TV signals, that i...

Ooops. The aquarium sprung a leak. Of course, an official said it's not a problem. Of course, given the shoddy building standards it's no surprise. I hope they have a better maintenance guy than my appartment block has.....otherwise there will be a guy with a barbie lunch box come round and squeeze ...
