Just ridiculous. Once again, women are punished, because men can't behave themselves. The mind boggles it really does.

Of course, they can't possibly acknowledge the fact that it's the men acting out.

Chocoholic

Yup still kicking about.

Chocoholic

I think the majority have vanished for rather obvious reasons as have been expressed in the FC threads.

Chocoholic

IOU , Yes I frequent both forums, and your point is what now?

Chocoholic

LOL clearly you have no idea who that poster is. I'd stay out of it - ta very much. Oh and it's very much a predicted attack from that poster.

Chocoholic

He shouldn't have exited the country, there was no need to. If he has the offer letter, he should contact the ministry of labour and ask their advice.

Chocoholic

Seeing as she's on your visa and has disappeared, you can file a report with the police to find her.

Chocoholic

I think this is quite a good idea. People still assume that the UAE is very safe, well break-ins are definitely on the rise.

How many people actually know and trust their neighbours these days? Not many. Better off getting a friend to house sit.

Chocoholic

No Berrin, they don't, in that you don't get sent to chop chop square to lose a hand if you're caught stealing. It's normally a jail sentence, fine and deportation.

Chocoholic

Finally! With sunshine virtually all year round, I'm surprised they don't use this more - apart from powering parking ticket machines.

I went to MOE last night and was amazed at how many people were innappropriately dressed! Women in tiny little shorts and strappy tops, leaving nothing to the imagination. Many men weren't any better either - what's wrong with people?

Chocoholic

I love the way the chap in authority who allegedly made the comments has backtracked BIG time in the last few days. Made him very, very unpopular.

Chocoholic

I don't think it's much of an imposition to cover yourself from upper arms to the knees - that's all they're asking.

Chocoholic

Cab drivers here can be a nightmare. As for pedestrians, they are indeed considered hazards, because they're unpredictable. Don't expect people to stop at pedestrian crossings here - they just don't. Plus guys here deliberately try to off themselves in front of your car to get blood money to send to...

Chocoholic

Insurance covers the blood money NOT the motorist.

Chocoholic

Fantastic! Good for her, I hope more women in Saudi stand up for their rights.

Chocoholic

prowheels , You're completely right of course and it requires education. Yes there are warning signs at malls, but no one is enforcing it. It's that old catch 22 again.

Chocoholic

Yup, once again this has hit the headlines. It's nothing new, but when oh when will the authorities make it compulsory to strap children in their seats in vehicles?

Chocoholic

Of course it's about education Shaf, when I was a child we never wore seat belts - then the Government did the whole 'clunk, click' campaign and people soon caught on. With so much info out there, there really is no excuse these days.

Chocoholic

And why would you start a post to Admin, when you can PM Andy direct? Epic fail on all counts.

Chocoholic

Your GF cannot get a residence visa unless a. she is married to you and you sponsor her, or b. she finds a job and is sponsored by her employer. These are the only two options for you really. Having a UK passport she could do visa runs every 30 days and just stay on a tourist visa, but then she can'...

Chocoholic

The only places that do paintball are Wonderland and the shooting club in Sharjah.

Chocoholic

So many news stories at the moment seem to involve children, whether it's the atrocities in Syria or the fire that killed 13 toddlers in a shopping mall on Doha.

Just awful how many lives are lost at such a young age. Does it make anyone reconsider having children?

Chocoholic

Very true. I just can't imagine the absolute heartache of parents who outlive their children, it's just so wrong and very cruel.

In that Doha fire triplets from one family were lost, just so awful.

Chocoholic

Ewwwww quite frankly this is gross! I'm a clean freak who carries hand sanitizer with me. I detest shaking peoples hands, because I know most don't wash them after using the loo. I feel quite ill now. http://www.7daysindubai.com/UAE-residents-urged-wash-hands-reguarly/story-16218768-detail/story.html

Chocoholic

drewpeacock , LOL that's what my first dance will end up being to, that or something by Guns N Roses.

Chocoholic

I know! I especially hate it when you see staff in the food service industry doing that - in which case I usually say something. I have a thing about not touching the door hanle on the way out either, purely for this reason, you wash your hands then get all the nasty germs because other people haven...

Chocoholic

Bora Bora , And money! Money is probably the filthiest, most

ing and germ ridden thing we all use every single day. Imagine how many people have touched it.
