Well I'm so glad you changed your ways as I cannot for the life of me figure how human beings would get pleasure out of watching animlas rip each other to shreads. It's cruel it's vicious and also to use smaller dogs as attack bait is horrific. It's a

ing practice.

GAB, sadly not in this country, many sites flout even basic safety rules. Some inspectors from other countries came and did a recent survey and were horrified at what they found.

Chocoholic

Interesting indeed. Shaf, I hope you don't mind but I wanted to ask you about the Kaaba, the Holy building in Mecca which holds a piece of meteor. If the worship of idols is prohibited, could this not be constituted as an idol? After all it is an inanimate object! Or is it just one part of the entir...

Chocoholic

GAB, I agree with you. I used to work in a nursery school and I swear just by looking at some of the parents you could see why their kids were complete nightmares. But in light of the above, you can see why there are age limits on things, because some people aren't capable of making responsible deci...

Chocoholic

Absolutely right! Half the companies here don't operate out of the region let alone the country. You see it all the time, guys not wearing hard hats or goggles or wearing harnesses. GAB, sadly much of this stuff is covered up like the accidents I mentioned ealier, and I only know about these things ...

Liban, Shaf, Yshimy,

Thanks for your explanations, very interesting.

Guess choco has done so many mistake in her life thats why her behavior is like that. Excuse me!!! Who the heck are YOU to judge! I was reacting to some very cruel and vicious jibes that were made towards me, what now I can't even stand up to 'bullying'? The issue was closed, why did you go and wri...

Chocoholic

Actually guys you're wrong. When the cartoons were first published, no-one, absolutely no-one batted and eye lid! Only several months later did the Danish Imam go to Egypt with a set of drawings, many not even published in the paper and started showing people there, it's then that it all blew up. Ys...

Not really Liban, it's just the jelly time of year, you go in the sea, you take your risk and I did and it hurt, no big deal.

Chocoholic

Many people will not help, in the UAE if a person dies on you and you are not a qualified first aider or paramedic, doctor etc then the responsibility is yours - apparently. Also most people are lacking in the basics. There was an incident recently at the airport where an engineer in his little truc...

Chocoholic

Boostah,

Municipality officers don't carry micro-ship scanners, only the vets have them, so sadly it's a bit useless here.

Chocoholic

Well ROM, you see this is the thing, most moderate Muslims deal with the issues in a sensible way, then you get the hardliners who just go off on one and it's death and destruction to anyone or anything that crosses them. I feel sad as it's these people harming the name of Islam, but it's never goin...

Yes alcohol is available at the site, but obviously for over 21's only.

No you cannot take drinks in with you, security will confiscate it, and security is alwasy mega tough at Desert Rock, you have to go through the metal detectors, no large cameras they can find, and they'll check all bags.

Chocoholic

Ok stop it now! We were on the other side of the coast and practically everyone got stung. Really no big deal, so chill.

Chocoholic

whats wrong with the cameras....i would like to take my camcorder with me...whats wrong in that... At every concert photography is prohibited by the organisers as obviously they only want photographers there in an official capacity such as the papers and magazines. People invariably sneak them in a...

Or perhaps he just tastes bad.

Go to computer plaza in Bur Dubai, there are loads of computer shops there, you can haggle over the price and play the shops off on one another to get a good price plus extras thrown in for free. Some makes they price fix like the Sony's, but many others are fair game.

Chocoholic

The ones I saw were the small, round, clear type. But you get the normal bluey or purpley ones too. I think what stung us was not an entire jelly fish but tentacles that were left over from ones getting caught in fishing nets. The stingers stay active for weeks on their own. They are long, a couple ...

Chocoholic

Because UAESAINT the offenders in this case all happned to be locals and that's why everyone thinks they're being given a 'light' sentence. If it had be a gang of other nationalities, they would have been severely punished, that's what's so wring about the whole thing.

Chocoholic

Er I know jellyfish don't have taste buds - purlease I know alot about animals and marine life. - It was called sarcasm! But I guess it's lost on you.

Chocoholic

Are you guys kidding me! This has been reported so many times in all the papers, where groups of bachelors are forced to leave their accomodation. You see so many adverts saying, NO bachelors. The there are the ones for bachelors only. So what exactly are single guys supposed to do. Not so long ago ...

Chocoholic

Oh you can make a complaint - but here's the catch, you'll get charged for making a complaint - WTF!

Chocoholic

All Emirates have done is pay to have naming rights on the stadium and as a sponsor. It gives them no rights to have a say in what other deals Arsenal players sign up for. Plus to back out of such a sponsorship would cost millions. Plus do you really think football fans will give two hoots about thi...

Chocoholic

Liban, Uncalled for and untrue, can you stop throwing insults. You're no better, you're racist for having set ideas against westerners and constantly slagging them off, and you're a bigot, because you're so closed minded towards anyone that has an opposing opinions to yours - and you can't handle th...

Chocoholic

Damn straight!

Maad, I'm sorry but the post dickhead over there threw in was totally uncalled for, so why don't moan at him and not me, or are you now his new lapdog in place of Sniper?

Chocoholic

Er you might find that hard as hiring them has been banned due to a spate of accidents involving kids.

Chocoholic

Also the comment about if it had happened to a local girl. If this happened the chances of the offense being reported in the first place would be slim, because of obvious reasons. UAESAINT, we're not saying anything against nationals, but there's been a long standing history where locals get off lig...

Chocoholic

Not biting, stinging whatever, take yer views somewhere and stop talking about yerself - AGAIN! How you ever survived in Canada is beyond me.

Chocoholic

Actually just to reply to Liban on the naming of the stadium and why I didn't like it, which had nothing to do with the name Emirates or the fact that's it's arab etc etc as he's like to assume - he does that alot without waiting for the actually explanation. As my old news editor said 'Never assume...

Chocoholic

Nice one ROM, and I have to agree with you and I also had the same opinion about the Bible. People say that the Holy books are the words of God given to the prophets, but they were all written by man and so are open to interpretation as to what is actually true or not. Personally I have big issues w...
