Well it's cetainly interesting I guess we have to wait and see. No problem with the borders of Europe being extended at all but wondering how far it'll all go and whether it'll just end up being a big mess.

Chocoholic

It's simple folks; those who don't like it should just leave why the hypocrisy? Jag I totally agree with your comments with regards to attitudes like this. As I've said before Dubai wants to be seen as a progressive, forward thinking place on par with many big cities around the world - BUT if peopl...

Can you guys possibly right a post without bringing the US into things? We all know Bush is an idiot, we all know that he went against the UN on Iraq, which we all know was wrong. My original post was about the Iranian presidents comments, so why now are we discussing the US? 21st Century crusade ag...

Lucky you guys, it's work work work for me!

Oh HP all champagne is French - it's named after the region - Doh!

Yeah all the clubs are back open this weekend, Deep will be great with Pete Tong, check it ooouuuuuutttttt!

Good to see your on the same level Chocoholic... Progression is not about just blindly ignoring the negative issues in society just cuz maybe it doesnt apply to you. It is just so annoying me when people who have not even lived in the country (or hardly) and have not contributed to the society and ...

Chocoholic

Hey Liban, Totally agree with you. So why don't the rest of us learn from those who have proven to be bad people and against humanity and just learn to get along with another. Apologies if some of the things I said seemed harsh, I was in a really terrible mood this morning. Anyway I would hope that ...

Chocoholic

Ah so many places, make sure you check out Lebanon as Liban said, Maldives, Seychelles, Mauritius, Reunion, Egypt, Africa, Sri Lanka, Thailand, all very accessible many places have direct flights from Dubai as it's a hub for major airlines. Plus you can some really cheap flights on Air Arabia from S...

Man, that's actually pretty scarey. A guy just got convicted in the UK for spreading HIV knowingly to women. Also the horrid thing is you'd have to wait six months to find out if you've become infected, they'd do an initial test then you have to go back six months later, that's torture enough in its...

Don't know if you saw this article in 7 days, but attendants at Emarat petrol stations, say the company regularly performs strip searches to make sure they're not keeping any tips given to them. What the hell?!!! If I want to give these poor guys who work all day in the sun and gas fumes the couple ...

Chocoholic

Sniper it's not bloody funny! Imagine the indignity of the whole thing for the sake of a few dirhams!

I sometimes wonder about you and how you can make fun of something which is so humilitating to other people.

Chocoholic

Sniper go away and stop wrecking the forums again.

Chocoholic

Jag, don't worry about it! Acebravo is obviously one of those people who's only interested in being here for a couple of years tops and taking what they can out of the place before moving on to their next jolly. I've been visiting Dubai for the last 8 years and have lived here for 2 and boy has it c...

Big Macs? NO but I have have a good one about mayonaise in KFC.

Chocoholic

Well I can't say which country I'll end up in permanently, becauwse I fully intend to get out and see more of the world, but I can see myself staying here for a good few years. And what has you being an Arab muslim got to do with anything, what difference does that make to what we're discussing? Man...

Chocoholic

What happends to the money? Does it get pooled and shared among the workers? Does it heck! Emarat keeps it and puts it into it's own pocket.

Shameful, shameful, shameful - I'm never using Emarat again!

Chocoholic

Ok ok ok. So the story goes, apparently a guy went into KFC oneday and asked for a chicken burger with NO Mayonnaise. His burger, fries etc comes and he sits down and starts to tuck in, when he gets to this squooshy stuff in the burger, which for all intense and purposes looks exactly like mayonnais...

Chocoholic

OK guys, so we've all had our say on the forum about traffic and driving standards in Dubai and entertaining it's certainly been. Now you get to have your say to the people that count! On December 12th & 14th it's the Gulf Traffic and MENA rail show, the Middle Easts biggest ever transport confe...

Chocoholic

No Acebravo, the point was there was no need to mention your nationality and religious preferences as it had nothing to do with the discussion. And they way you put it in your post insinuated that you consider yourself better than others because of it. It doesn't / shouldn't matter where you're from...

Chocoholic

Hey Elizabeth, People asconding has been a big problem, which is why the banks require quite alot of information, salary certificates, contract copies etc etc. Sometimes you're required to have at least 3 months salary go into your bank account before they'll give you a credit card. My credits cards...

Chocoholic

Well thanks Maad, I aim to caue a chuckle every now and then you know.

What's funny about it, or do you just have a warped sense of humour - which is always a good thing.

Chocoholic

Acebravo, you seem totally incapable of justifying anything you've written, and you've just resorted to slinging insults because you obviously have nothing productive to add to the discussion. Me, clueless? I don't think so, I have more brains and balls for that matter than you could ever hope to ha...

Chocoholic

Yeah as Liban said, good luck with that. Also many taxi drivers are refusing to go inter-emirates at rush hour as obviously if you have a Sharjah taxi to Dubai it is illegal for him to pick up a fare in Dubai then go back to Sharjah again and vise versa with the Dubai taxis. The best thing is to fin...

Chocoholic

What you failed to mention in your post is that at the beginning of next year the 5 day week will be filtered to ALL staff within the group, not just management. And I don't know where you get this 'all companies across Europe have a five day working week' from as I have always worked a 6 day week f...

Chocoholic

One major thing you forgot to add, is what industry you want to work in? What job is the interview for?

Chocoholic

In a word NO, because Tattooing and body piercing is illegal in the UAE. There are some people that do stuff, but you can't guarantee their qualifications of hygiene.

Chocoholic

Hey Fayz, You're right in that you do see these advertised in Connector, BUT this is cosmetic tattooing as opposed to body art, i.e. eye brows, lips etc and some beauticians are trained to do the cosmetic tattooing, which most of the time is not permanent anyway but lasts around 5 years. I need the ...

Chocoholic

Hp, once again you prove what a prize plonker you are. In most other countries, we have to fill our cars ourselves etc etc etc. These guys provide a service, they're no different to a waiter in a resturaunt and we tip them for good service, so why not these poor guys who're probably lucky to earn 60...

Chocoholic

Yeah I go to Dr Michael's Dental Clinic on Al Wasl road, they're all so nice. Don't know what they'd charge for that, maybe give them a call.

Can I suggest health insurance with a dental option.

Chocoholic

Sorry Sniper, but blondes really aren't my type! Tall, dark, rugged and handsome is my thing.

Chocoholic

Sniper - SHUT UP!!!! Stainless I think you're a bit confused, Scottish can be classed as British as can English, Welsh and some Irish. Britain / UK is made up of 4 different countries, but it's upto the individual whether they class themselves as British or specifically from their country. I love Sc...
