Well said Major!

You know I sometimes wonder what many locals think of what's happening to their country, I mean the die hards who would rather life the simple life and just live in the desert with camels, trust me several locals I've met wish for a simple life.

Hatta rock pools are an absolute disgrace right now, people just leave their rubbish all over the place it's such a shame. My recomendation would be to go check out Snoopy Island in Fujerah, some of the best snorkelling I swear you will ever do, amazing mix of fish, turtles etc, next door shark isla...

Well Duh! Mirdiff is directly under the airport flight path. It really isn't that bad, I don't even notice the aircraft noise anymore, just the big Russian planes when they come in which is at certain times of the day.

Ok with regard to clubs and door policies, you have to remember that clubs and bars are also businesses, their aim is to make money. The best way for them to cash in obviously is over the bar, now having observed this for a fact and spoken to many door staff, the western expats as we all know are dr...

Hey, To be honest it really helps to be here to find apartments, as you can drive around and look out for the TO LET signs and contact landlords direct without going through the agents. Plus the ways you can queue jump are if you already know someone living in a building that can recommend you. This...

Er hence the name shark island! Plus it looks like a sharks fin.

Of course it's nice, for Snoopy Island go in through the Sandy Beach Hotel. It's just down the road from the Meridien Al Aqa.

Vij went up his own bum and wanted too much moeny for the sequel.

Hey Mike,

Probably the best people to get in touch with when you're here are:

Vibe - big promoter, clubs artists etc
CSM - www.csmentertains.com
Mirage Promotions

Also sound people like T-1 Creative.

Hey Distressed, I have to say it's great to have an Emirati with opinions and views such as yours. (sadly not all are as open minded and forward thinking). People such as yourself are the way forward in this country and I hope that your visions become realised. The UAE has made me and my family very...

I think it is a progression towards a peaceful outcome. (plus wouldn't you move if you were being given 200,000 Dollars and a new house?) I mean to put a different spin on it to see pictures in the news of Palestinian and Israeli children playing football together was great, do you think these child...

It looks like Snoopy lying down taking a nap.

I agree with Bobbie,

Chill out a bit there.

And the comment about girls ruining your generation or whatever, don't sling comments like that around.

Plus could you make your sentences a bit more conherant, we're not texting here.

Chocoholic

It's sad, children are so innocent and open until hate filled and narrow minded people poison them against others.

You can see Snoopy island from the Meridien Al Aqa, you enter through the sandy beach hotel which is just down the road. A few kilms down the road is the Oceanic hotel, shark Island is off that. For the mangroves you go along the coast road into Kor Kolba, then there's a small bridge that you have t...

I hope you catch something and your knob falls off!

Guys, You know what at the end of the day it really doesn't matter who wrote what and when and who did what first. Links can always be made between Religion and Scientific beliefs and I'm pretty sure there are others links in the Holy books from other religions too. As with all things, there's alway...

Hello All, My thoughts and prayers go out to all those affected and hope they all find help and safety soon. Sadly it just goes to show that natural disasters are still worse than anything else. On the political side, didn't Clinton put aside a fund and task force that would have been ready to swing...

You are right. Prostitution is the oldest trade known to man and inrecent years they uncovered the worlds oldest brothel, complete with ancient toys - eeewwwww. There are many countries which have working girls in controlled brothels, which is actually a good thing as they all get medicals and healt...

Well at least 8 years is more experience than you have of slapping the salami!

Chocoholic

I was talking about HP and his 8 years experience. Jeez would actually make some sense.

Chocoholic

Oh hurrah! A non rant!

I normally whip out my digital camera and take photos, scares the heck out of them. These people are the idiots causing the accidents on the roads.

Speed kills - nuff said.

I've never seen Spinneys selling alcohol, they certainly don't put it on the shelves, you have to go to MMI or African and Eastern, or nip off the the hole in the wall in Ajman or the best is the Barracuda in Umm Al Quain. Anyway last year I saw more booze during Ramadan than at any other time, plac...

Oh stop whining about the petrol going up, it's still damn cheaper than the UK and US where it would cost me 300Dhs to fill up my tank and here it still only costs me 60Dhs! If anything it's a good thing, more people should use public transport and get that flipping train running. There are too many...

The driving tests in the UAE are nothing short of ridiculous and the instructors are possibly the worst offenders of traffic violations, check out the stuff they do once the noard is off their car. It's not extensive enough.

Chocoholic

Hello to you scots! The Haggis thing I still don't get - eewwww. By the way I'd have to say that Greek football fans are far worse for causing trouble, and you can't brand an entire nation from a few idiots. Also, the Scottish, Welsh, Irish all got their own independence - what did we get? Zip!

Chocoholic

I think many people here are superficial it's sad to say and they're not really up for looking underneath the surface. People will naturally search out others with similar backgrounds for starts, but it's definately a lot nicer when you have friends from people all over the place, it makes you a bit...

Oh Singapore is incredible! I love it there, so clean! If I weren't in Dubai, Singapore is where I'd love to be.

True chewing gum is banned because it makes a mess of the pavement, but it's only because people can't be bothered to chuck it in the bin. At least they don't have people spitting on the street.

Chocoholic

For starters, what places were you hanging out to begin with. The places Major has suggested are all good, but many will still have a bit of an element of those girls. To be honest, don't sound so desperate, there's nothing more off putting to to a girl and there are so many sleaze bag guys in this ...
