I never said covered women are repressed, don't put words into my mouth. Most of the time it's their choice and that's fine, but underneath they're ewaring all the latest fashions. With regards to education, there might be a time and a place for it, but the earlier kids know about it the better, bec...

Yes I think a 5 year old has more intelligence.

Chocoholic

I know that! You totally missed the point I was trying to make - never mind. They were just examples and I never said 'all' Emiratis either! Hence the term 'example'. Don't take things so literally, see outside the box.

RAOTFLMAO!

Mirdiff is also pretty good.

Just wondering what everyone is into for recreation or sporting activities.

Chocoholic

John76! I take it you work for this health insurance company you keep on peddling.

Please don't spam the forum.

Chocoholic

No I haven't, but I have friends that go every week, it's good apparently, so will check it out soon.

I'm at the beach wakeboarding every weekend and am getting into snowboarding.

Chocoholic

Hahaha no, no sharks around here. erm well it's all about balance obviously. Most people only take a few attempts to get up, if you can snowboard, skateboard or surf then the concepts are the same. Everyone's posture is terrible to start until you find your balance and get used to riding sideways an...

Yes you do around watery areas, they're a pain in the neck!

Chocoholic

Watching paint dry is far more interesting!

And just because I'm a moderator, I'm not entitled to an opinion? I'll say what I like thank you very much and just because my opinions differ from your doesn't make them sick! I think yours are sick!

Chocoholic

Clearly you don't know me very well then, because I do have principles and I've never said rules aren't necessary. Once again you just read and see what you want to see of someone, not what is actually there.

Chocoholic

Not interested in One Day Internationals.

Don't care to define anything! I don't like the game, have absolutely no interest in it whatsoever.

Chocoholic

Hmmm I'm beginning to suspect that dude91 only posts to promote his own blog!

Spammer!

You can't say no tension is allowed! How lame is that! If there is there is, and there's not much you can do about it! The intelligent asnwer would be to find out why there is tension, and what can be done to resolve it. As has been stated many times before, your rulers opened the gates to tourists ...

If your contract states your working hours then that's what they should stick to. With regards to passports - they categorically cannot hold it! It's illegal! If you demand it, they should give it to you on the stop, no ifs or buts and if they refuse call the police and get them to hand it over. For...

Chocoholic

No idea, you probably have to subscribe to the English version.

The thing that causes tension for me, is seeing the younger gewneration completely incapable of doing anything for themselves, because they've been brought up by maids! Was at Ski Dubai tonight, and the little buggers just drop all their kit at the swing doors and expect the staff to put the ski'd/b...

Chocoholic

Moron! Yes and also, zero consideration for anyone other than themselves!

Chocoholic

Unfortunately g00se the embassies are not much help. The British Embassy will actually turn around and tell you that it shouldn't happend but it does, and there's nothing they can do about it.

Chocoholic

Also I'm not a moderator in this section - learn to READ!

Chocoholic

Oh yes and don't let me forget the stupid woman who comes out of the MOE, letting the door slam shut in her daughters face! Poor kid! Boy did I let rip! Not only that how did she expect the child to hold the heavy door open not onyl for herself, but of course the poor maid pushing another child in a...

Chocoholic

And also don't let me forget the people that just can't queue and think they're so much more important than everyone else that they just barge in front. Well not on my watch sonny, not on my watch!

And you wonder why there's tension!

Chocoholic

Hahaha you two are ridiculous! Everytime someone brings up a 'fact' or experience about living here, you go away and dig up stuff about our own countries, because you have no come back about your own! We're not talking about my country, we're talking about yours! So in light of the fact that you hav...

Boring! yadda yadda yadda blah blah blah is all I hear!

Tuesday August 12th will see the annual Preseid Meteor shower be visible in the UAE. The best time to see them will be after the moon has set, around 1.45am. This is an amazing sight. If you get the chance to go out into the desert away from the city lights, where the sky is clear, you'll be in for ...

Ok, so it'll be on a trial basis in a few petrol stations to begin with. But can you seriously see this working here? No problem for me, I come from a place where we all pump our own petrol, but I can't wait to see how other people will cope with this. Have to say the process of going in and paying ...

Chocoholic

Credit card machines would be a good idea, apart from the fact that yo can't pay by credit card at fule stations anymore - too much fraud. In the UK, you just rock up to the pump, put in as much as you want, then go in and pay, plus we do have card machines at the pumps aswell. My nightmare would be...

Chocoholic

Well yes that too. Be interesting to see how it pans out though.
