A couple of papers did a story no it and it went from that, that's it, no alterior motive nothing, just a group of people standing up for others. Once again the conspiracy theorists coming out of the wood work. Sorry I said anything, I just thought it was nice to see some people actually doing somet...

Chocoholic

Yes, they did the right thing and that the guy might think twice about doing it again if he's incovenienced. However, what the CID guys said is also right, some of these guys can be really evil and if they decide to take revenge on you, it's not worth it. A local guy threatened to shoot the family o...

Call me strange, but I will always try and see the good in people first.

There is comparison Freza, because the population numbers might be very different but I think you'll find the percentage of immigrant workers in the UAE far higher! Remember 80% of the population here is expat! Not local!

Chocoholic

Whoohoo!

If you go back and read my original post, you'll see I said that the links my friend gave me don't work because they're blocked - surprise surprise, because of course once again we can't have negative media about this place now can we? He's trying to cut and paste the stories for me. It happened a c...

Tell me about it, I've had things take 4 weeks just inside the country to get to my 'work' PO Box, it's ridiculous.

Chocoholic

You're kidding right! Obviously never heard of the Chinese tortunring animals before they die as the release of hormones makes the meat more tender and an afrodisiac. I'd hardly call steaming cats alive, or tying dogs to planks of wood and scolding them with boiling water humane!

Chocoholic

Freza, I do not have the luxury of time to go searching for facts and figures for you. There's a thing called Google - knock yourself out. But what I would say is that any figures would be distorted as of course many of the workers who're being exploited will not admit to it, for fear of being kicke...

The police will actually tell you that it's the people going slow in the left hand 'over-taking' lane and the second lane that cause the most problems, as they force people to go around them.

Every lane left of the slow lane is an overtaking lane - period!

Chocoholic

Totally agree with that, this person is a troll and nothing more.

Chocoholic

You can argue round and round about this stuff. But one thing you all forget that war is never a nice thing, it's gruesome, it's bloody and yes people get killed both military and civilians. Personally they should settle things the old fashion way, pick a battle grown, the two generals ride out, sha...

Chocoholic

Yeah you'd get a baseball bat through your windscreen, have your tyres slashed or be beaten about the head with a tyre iron.

Difficult with cats I know, particularly if they're used to going outside. Yeah where are all the pets going? Someone really needs to look into that, everyday I see posters for missing cats and dogs, somethings definately not right.

Chocoholic

I hate to play devils advocate but to be honest I find the 'rules of engagement' a weird concept. It's war! It's dirty and nasty by nature, people will always break rules if you try and implement them. If one side is out armoured and out manouvred, then of course they will use underhand tactics to o...

I hope your cat's neutered Sniper! Last thing that's needed are loads more unwanted kittens living out the bins.

Well people often refer to women having a healthy glow, and some people do look better with a bit of a tan, however tans are not healthy at all, unless it's a fake one. Just think after all those years in the sun, your skin will end up like leather handbag - nice! Too much make-up just looks awful, ...

Magrudy's in most shopping malls and on Beach road.

What is it with people?! I'm really p***ed at being up at this hour, because my moronic neighbours have left their poor dog tied up outside in the yard and the thing is going nuts! No-one in my street is getting any sleep and the idiots won't come out and take the poor creature inside. So angry!!!

Chocoholic

I did call the police but the dog had literally barked itself to exhaustion by about 3.30am. I left a stinking letter on my neighbours car telling them that if the dog was left outside again tonight, the police would follow up my first complaint and come and wake them up in the middle of the night. ...

Chocoholic

Good idea, I'll give K9 a call as soon as they open.

Poor mite, sadly the owners are locals so I don't really expect much from them.

Chocoholic

It's not a K9 dog, but they advised me to go and talk to the owners about it. I have some experience with Alsatians and sadly if it's a male dog that's not neutured, if they're not looked after and trained properly then they can become very aggresive. I've seen the guy walking it and it's a beautifu...

Chocoholic

That's no problem at all, K9 told me to go and tell them that they'd take him.

I think I'll get one of my local mates to come with me, because if I end up confronting one of the guys in the house, I can just see him telling me to naff off and mind my own business.

Chocoholic

Hmmm well good news and bad news. The bad news is the people in the villa don't want to come out and talk, their buzzer thingy doesn't work and they don't answer to knocking on the gate, so I'll have to say something when I see one of them come out. THe good news is that the doggy is not outside in ...

'Shrug' no idea, just looks silly to me.

A Kurdish group linked to the PKK have claimed responsiblity for the bombs that went off in 5 locations in Turkey, killing several people and injuring dozens.

Why, why, why.

Chocoholic

A couple of British holiday makers yes, and a couple of Turks I think, mostly injuries. The terrorist group are warning holiday makers to stay away.

Er hello! It's a cartoon! Tom and Jerry are not real.

Sorry, not a fan of 'Romans'.
