Depends how frivalous you are! Applying for your work visa after three months is certainly NOT ok! You would be working illegally, and what they're saying sounds very didgy to be, almost like they want you on a trial period before they apply for your residency visa. You cannot work unless you have a...

Unfortunately it's a sad fact that many nationalities get stereotyped here very very quickly, just the way it goes unfortunately. Russians, Uzbeks and Morrocans have the same problem. Yes you do look slightly Filipino, I'd never say that Bjork look Filipino to be perfectly honest. I have a few Dutch...

Chocoholic

Erm no I really don't think we care about your childish silly pranks, which clearly no-one got in the first place.

Chocoholic

Oh give me a break, you're only young, and trust me if you go looking for it you'll never find it. Yes you come across as whining and wimpy - not attractive for most girls, we like our men to be men! That's what they mean by talking about your manhood, so grow a set of balls, pucker up and get out t...

Oh god Ruwan, shut the hell up! You go on and on! There are churches, temples and even a synogogue here in the UAE.

Stop ranting and raving because no-one cares. Afterall these places are only bricks and mortar.

Chocoholic

Um yeah sadly alot of them are hookers!

Will you stop wondering about what you look like? It's very hard to tell what nationality people are just by looking at them these days. Stop moaning about and get some self confidence!

Where are you from anyway?

Chocoholic

erm ok, but being from a certain country, doesn't necessarily make it your original ethnic background, like someone could say they're British but be black, or Asian, Chinese etc in actual origin.

Chocoholic

Does that also apply to the 'locals' who like to bat for the other team before they get married - hahahaha

Chocoholic

Well I was merely trying to point out that obviously if you're of a different ethnic background (originally) than from from the country you hail from, then people could be mistaken for thinking someone is from somewhere else. And yes us Brits are having different mentalities these days, I for one an...

Chocoholic

It's all a bit petty and pathetic if you ask me, there are more serious things to be concerned about.

Chocoholic

I already mentioned I was from the States. So does any female have the 'hooker' reputation. I'm assuming the UAE natives don't but is everyone else 'hooker' reputation by default. Is it that bad for women? Yes there are lots of women here that are perceived to be hookers unfortunately. And with the...

Chocoholic

Yup that's right! Because I'm sick of fighting with the immigrants for jobs, treatment on the NHS, schools, etc etc. Gets really boring after a while you know.

Chocoholic

Nice post Blue!

Chocoholic

UD, good post, and yes it's very difficult to change people perceptions, particularly here. But also lets face it, Americans in general don't really have a good rep either particularly in this part of the world. One of my best friends who is from Chicago (he's left Dubai now) was always getting flac...

Chocoholic

erm like cracking down on the hookers, drugs, crime etc, I mean seriously it is a bit of a waste of time isn't it.

Plus I don't think anyone is local bashing, it's a fact, plain and simple.

Chocoholic

FF, if you have nothing constructive to add then don't! Personally I don't get it, so they're tolling BOTH bridges now? That doesn't make alot of sense to me as people will be forced to use one or the other as there are no alternative routes across the creek, unless of course you go all the way out ...

Chocoholic

And this advice coming from a guy who can't post in anything but SMS shorthand - ENGLISH PLEASE!!!!

Chocoholic

FF, why don't you stop and think about other aspects and think outside the box for once?! I meant 'this part of the world' because of Americas 'invasion' er Iraq, Afghanistan, Kuwait etc etc etc. You see you're so nuclear, YOU don't even look at what's happening in your 'brother' countries - pffff! ...

Chocoholic

A loser who no sane girl would touch with a barge pole if that's the best you can do!

Chocoholic

That should have been your reply, because pea brain, if you stopped to think for a second, you might realise that for alot of people on the forum, their first language isn't English, so you're only making it harder to make yourself understood. I bet you're one of these loser teens who would write th...

Chocoholic

erm not a wise idead to post your number on an open forum hun!

Chocoholic

RE here are rubbish! You're better off going to the areas you want to live and asking the security guys if there are any free apartments etc and getting the landlords numbers direct.

Chocoholic

Hmmm ok help me out on this one! I currently share a big villa with my folks, who're moving to Oz in September. THe landlord has agreed that I can take over the lease and he's been resonable and given me a really good rate for the villa, which is big and has 3 bedrooms. The rate he's given me makes ...

Chocoholic

FF, my god you are hysterical, it really seems you know even less about what goes on in your own country than the rest of the world. I could tell you things that happen here with people in power that would make your hair stand on end! And trust me it goes allllll the way to the top! Stop being so pr...

Chocoholic

No worries hun, it's all good

You know my dream would be to go and live on a small island somewhere, away from all the crap, run a little coffee shop/cocktail bar on the beach, with my dogs and cats running around. To just laze the days away - ahhhh bliss!

Anyone care to join?

Chocoholic

Yorky! Flippin' heck! Where have you been!

Chocoholic

1 cheque! You gotta be out of your mind!

Chocoholic

Unfortunately Al Tayer is the dealer for Ford so that's the only real way of getting a new one here. Plus the majority of imports will have the V6 engine, not the V8.

Chocoholic

Well I'd have thought that was pretty obvious, considering the effect the moon has on the tides! Considering the human body is mainly made up of water, the same effects apply!

Chocoholic

erm no sweets it's not a thread for war vets! It's a thread for forum veterans! Like me!
