Well sadly if you want things to progress you need to hire a good lawyer - aqn arabic one, who will get in there and fight your corner, otherwise basically they'll just string it out in the hope you give up.

Really? What? So mankind can destroy itself on other planets as well?

It's nearly time for the Dubai Shopping Festival once again, where people go mental trying to find bargins of all sorts. Last year if you didn't know it was on, you pretty much would have missed it. It's certainly not advertised to the nines as in the days of old. Lot's of events and whatnot happeni...

Now if only they made this law and fined offenders for not wearing them! They especially need to make law and enforce children in car seats and being strapped in.

Bora Bora , Oh I totally agree with you and I think many people have noticed the bias in the raffles. I seem to recall one year the same guy won 3 cars? Fix? probably!

So come on then, any resolutions for the start of 2012?

I'll be doing the usual, eat better, do more exercise, achieve more goals etc etc

Chocoholic

Not as far as I know. Certainly not the International schools.

Personally I don't think religion or any other factors should have an impact who a persona falls in love with and wants to marry.

Chocoholic

Obviously BM, but as I said I 'personally' don't think it should have any baring, but I'm well aware that in many societies and cultures it does and I find that incredibly sad.

Chocoholic

Bora Bora , LOL that's hilarious - there's no accounting for some people hey. I tend to find that the prices in DSF don't tend to be any cheaper, they usually put them up a little before it, then 'pretend' you're getting a bargin.

Chocoholic

BM, you are aware that most people on here won't have a clue what Eastenders is?

I don't make resolutions! These are things I do anyway. I was more interested in what other people might be doing.

What the company is asking from you - visa costs and notice period - is usual practice, unless you've completed your contracted employment time. If you've left within the probation period, then they are within their rights to ask for this as obviously they've paid these costs. So you have a choice t...

They all have their moments. My pup and cat are constantly racing about like a couple of nutters and just will not leave each other alone. Wee pup gets himself into trouble every now and then, last night I was in the middle of ploughing through one of my favourite series, watching via my net streami...

A music box? She's turning 21 not 12! er not all people can afford diamonds. But along jewellery lines, how about a pendent with her birthstone in it, whatever that maybe. Given that she's turning 21 (the legal age to go to places that sell alcohol in the UAE), you could arrange for a romantic night...

Bethsmum , Hmm my pup - although he's been done - likes to give himself a BJ in public - hugely embarassing at the best of times and as you say, I'm sure he does it purely because he can. My geriatric cat talks ALOT! I swear she says my name and 'hello', 'hiya', 'where aarrreeeee you?'.

You go to the doctor and tell him what is the matter with you. An animal can't tell a vet what the problem is, so it must be harder to be a vet, I reckon. er that's why it takes 7 years to qualify as a vet and only 4 as a doctor! Doctors don't earn that much, unless you specialise. I always wanted ...

Actually if you have BBC Prime, it's pretty much bang upto date. Anyone that watches it, watches it streaming through the BB iplayer - technology BM, get with it! If you want a dysfunctional muslim family, try watching Freej or indeed any of the locally produced programs, we don't need to watch UK t...

Sandstormlady , Thank you for that.

LOL sprouts are always the culrpit, that's what they're generally known for, nasty tasting things that give you gas. Sadly I suffer terribly from acid reflux and anything can set it off. I used to love red wine, can't drink that anymore. I love my spicy food, but that causes me issues big time and I...

I was astounded last time I went to Barracuda, having not been there in a couple of years I merrily rocked up to the old little shack, until I noticed people with trolleys going to a huge outlet, which is now more like a Duty Free shop - they've done good with that place and have so much on offer. N...

:roll: general_A , my point was you don't need to watch a soap from the UK to see dysfunctionality, it's in virtually every soap the world over. Have you seen some of the story lines in soaps produced in this region? Cripes! My gripe is with highlighting the 'muslim' family as dysfunctional in the p...

There's been lots of hoo-haa in the press recently regarding the Shoreline development on the Palm and other developers following suit, in removing access to facilities for tenants of landlords who have failed to pay their maintenance fees. On the one hand I get that the management companies should ...

Bora Bora , I did say until a doctor specialises, then of course studying for that takes how ever many years. Well back in the day it used to be 7 years for vets - I did all the research as it was what I was going to do, I have no idea how long it takes these days. But given the anatomy of animals ...

Oh my other cat sqats over the plug hole in the bath and takes a wee, I guess it's easier to vlean up than the litter tray. I think he's a bit too old to train to actually use the toilet.

Chocoholic

So come on then, what are you doing to ring in 2012?

I'll be Abu Dhabi to see Coldplay live in concert - they were amazing last time they came and I can't wait to see them again.
