OMG - Sorry to say but this stuff really ticks me off. Who are you marrying her or her parents, religion, race whatever has nothing to do with two people falling in love and wanting to be with each other. I hate to say it, but if she choses her religion and parents over you then she wasn't for you i...

Hey All, Just wanted to share and experience that I had yesterday, which has left me pretty upset and so completely angry. Was getting out of my car to go to a shopping mall in Dubai and see this family Father, Mother, Son walking towards the mall. I notice that the child is quite upset and is cryin...

I'll wait a few years and see if half the buildings are still standing.

What the hell?! Seriously someone has too much time on their hands to come up with this. Seriously who would want to live in a villa that moves up and down? Pass the sick bag!! :pukeright: I think Dubai needs to put money into solving it's current problems rather than chucking money at silly ideas. ...

Because the UAE is a muslim country! And Islam forbids unmarried couples from living together.

Ah so so so so true my friend. You meet someone and they seem to be OK, then a few weeks later they show their true colours and just end up being seperficial like everyone else. Funny problem my girlfriends keep running into, is why are their so many young guys in Dubai, they meet someone they like ...

Chocoholic

Hahahaha Very funny. Most locals I know aren't like this at all. Yes my friend you're right in that it can seem very hypocritical to see locals drinking and messing about, but the whole got to get in front attitude is a problem among many nationalities in Dubai, why do you think there are so many ac...

Chocoholic

That's Dudette! And all guys aren't bad, I was mearly pointing out that this is a bit problem in Dubai. It's true about the maturity of guys, take in from someone who has always dated younger men, you always have to take off another 2 or so years to compensate for the immaturity factor. That's why I...

Yeah OK good luck with that!

The Da Vinci Code is currently being filmed in Licolnshire in the UK and has already attracted protestors including a bunch of elderly nuns!

Hilarious - people IT'S A MOVIE!!!!!

Tom Hanks is looking seriously ropey though, quick get the make-up artists to that man NOW!

Sorting out the roads for one, which I know is already underway but more needs to be done. Better bus services, get the train going, better housing and accomodation for workers, the zoo is a digrace it's been 7 years since they said they were going to build a new one - where is it? I think the proje...

Hey Stainless, The article was in VIVA magazine a few months back and also I think 7 days has done a bit on the topic. What suprises me is many of the 'straight' dating agencies are blocked by Etisalat but if you're gay, they're all there to be checked out! Double standards or what, don't know what ...

And once again I say eh! Shrug.

Am I right in thinking though that Muslims don't consider that Jesus was the son of God, but instead that he was a prophet?

Chocoholic

Just to show hypocritical the church can be, the Dean of the cathedral where they're shooting the movie has branded the Da Vinci Code complete Tosh - yet he still accepted 650,000 Dhs for the crew to shoot there.

Flippin' money grabbers - wonder where that's going to go?

Hey GAB, You can eat during Ramadan, just do it in your own home, many offices now have eating areas for non-muslims during ramadan, and restuarants often black out their windows so you can eat in there, it's not as difficult as it used to be. Not sure what rules the schools have though. Ever though...

Oh just a point on vaccines, I would recommend making sure you have a Diphtheria jab before coming as this sort of infection can be rife and not pleasant. It never ceases to amaze me what they hand out over the counter here, but if you require antibiotics make sure you check which ones and if you ac...

Chocoholic

Hiya, In a word no I would not meet people through a dating site, I managed to meet my boyfriend on a night out with friends. Although out of curiosity I have looked at some dating sites for people in the Emirates through work as we have open access and none of the sites are blocked, and I have to s...

Chocoholic

Hang on a second, so you're saying that once you're in a relationship it's OK to stop making an effort and let yourself go? No no no no no! You should always make an effort for your other half, my boyfriend and I always like to look nice for one another, I tell him things I'd like him to do, wear an...

Hey Robert, I bank with HSBC, purely because my accounts back in the UK are with the same, so it makes it dead easy for transfering money and their internet banking is very good, where are many local banks in the UAE - no offense - but you'd think it was the dark ages, you have to go to the branch t...

Chocoholic

Just bear in mind though that working in construction, even though he is a manager, will mean working outside much of the time, in the blazing heat, no AC's for hours on end - mmmm nice.

Chocoholic

Erm guys I hate to ask but don't you think many of these girls look totally plastic? Many look like they've had plastic surgery as soon as they were old enough to have some work done. None of them are what I'd call naturally beautiful.

Chocoholic

I know, but if you're seriously looking at moving half way round the globe, you have to look at all the aspects, the cons included. This is not easy work, and long hours outside will inevitably be part of it, you have to look at what you're getting into from every angle otherwise you're doing yourse...

HHhhmmmm interesting attitude, shall we assume that you cling to everything in your life, and are unable to give somethings up even if they're no longer good for you or condusive to your way of life? Sweet Mary posted those wonderful thoughts and she's absolutely right! There are some things in your...

Marmite, is a yeast, vegetable based paste, like the Ausie Vegimite or Bovril.

Marmite - you either love it!

or you hate it!

Hahahaha Nice one Liban, but would you seriously go for someone where something might fall off? Any of you been watching that reality TV show, where a bunch of Arabic singers are living on some sort of farm and have to do everything themselves - eeekkk! Without makeup some of them are seriously dodgy.

Chocoholic

Hey All, Just wondered if someone can help me with this as it's darn confusing. A friend of mine is chaging jobs in Dubai and for the new company to do the visa they need the MBA attested. My friend has been told to take the certificate to the UAE embassy in the country where it was issued to get it...

Chocoholic

Yeah Ok whatever, fair enough.

And I think Maad was actually taking the P***

Hiya,

Yep N Bar in Emirates towers and on Palm strip are good normall about 90Dhs for french mani and pedi.

Chocoholic

Absolutely they need competition, it'll be the only way to force them to up there game and start operating like a proper service provider should. If any other telecomms company around the world acted the way Etisalat do they'd be fined for breach of promise of performance and failing to provide cust...

Hey Olly,

That's kind of unfortunate as they've just announced plans to nationalise all the PR field here. So there won't be any room for expats to do that job.
