No man there's loads to do! If you like a bit of live music, check out Peanut Butter Jam at the Wafi rooftop of Friday's from 8pm. Trilogy rooftop now has a sundowner from 4pm plus the Deep nights at Trilogy are going to be excellent over the coming weeks judging by the line-up. Sunday's Wafi roofto...

Threats have been made against the UAE, there were several posts on the SITE website, telling muslims to stay away from certain locations in Dubai. And it was telling the UAE it had 14 days to rid itself of all western expats. But this was months ago. Both the British and American Embassy have had w...

OK lets end this topic. HP you brought it up anyway.

Hahaha I like that too.

Maybe there should be a 65 for women - Girls don't go for guys they think they could take in a fight!

Hey, Your actual best bet for a really good deal is to go to computer plaza in Dubai and shop around, get quotes from different retailers and you can actually play them off one against another with loads of extras thrown in. A friend of mine managed to get an Acer Travelmate, including an optical mo...

Hey Intimacy,

No problem, to get to the Wafi rooftop it's not in the shopping mall it's over the other side where Carter's, the spa and those bars etc are. Becauwe of the construction, you go in towards the health club and follow the signs up to the rooftop which is next to Sevilles up stairs.

All these events have been going on the last two years or so and start up now in the cooler weather. I know because I go to all of them. Normally advertised in mags like Time Out, What's ON etc.

It really depends what you want, there's no point going to a tailor that specialises in making saris if you want western cuts! There are several good ones that I use, mainly in Satwa and really cheap too.

Fergie is not a particularly good singer live.

Yup and for club nights check out www.dubailook.com

One thing I forgot to add, go to www.phride.com it's where all the musos hang out.

You normally take your own fabric, but many tailors can add to that for detailing, zips, buttons etc. As Easternjewel wrote compared to western countries tailors here are sooooo cheap! I had a dress made, fully lined. The did it in 24 hours and it cost me 95Dhs including all the fabric, his work was...

Well I'm into music for making a living, but can't play an instrument for toffee. The closest you'll get me to being musical is wailing at Harry Gatos!

Never heard of them, and personally as we've discussed before in the forum no good company would ask job seekers to pay for finding them a job. Companies take a fee from the employers.

If it's part of Emirates, check their medical cover, all Emirates employees should be covered, they have their own clinic and doctors etc. Also you should be able to get cheap flight tickets too such as ID 90's & ID 50's ask about those as well as your annual free ticket. I know Emirates provide...

No more info as I might give myself away and ruin the point of being anonymous.

From the Gulf News: General Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Dubai Crown Prince, UAE Defence Minister and Chairman of the Dubai Executive Council, ordered yesterday that rent increases in all leased properties in Dubai must not exceed 15 per cent annually. The order came into effect yesterday ...

HP, Go away. Actually I can work in my PJ's if I damn well want to! I work my a*** off and do well over and above my normal duties. I've been here 2 and half years, no pay rise, holiday time deducted from my salary, so in effect no paid holiday and I haven't had any flight tickets. So naff off you l...

Oh nice way to introduce yourself love! But you're right if people put the same engery and time into just getting out there to find someone they'd probably have a better time of it.

Chocoholic

Well before people were being hit with anything from a 30 - 100% a year increase and if you'd didn't like it the landlords told you to leave, so that they'd whack the rent up for new tenants anyway, it's sheer and utter greed! And has nothing to do with market influences. Plus many landlords want th...

Post a new topic regarding this and all your questions will be answered, or look at some of the other topics for info.

Oh another word.

Slavery! - with regards to the low wage labour guys.

Ok just thought it might be fun to lighten things up and find out what people's sense of humour is like. What are the things that make you laugh, as silly as you like. You'll think I'm mad for saying this but the one that gets me every single time, no matter how many times I see it, is the episode o...

The municipality did actually build loads of low cost apartments in the back of Diyafa, but whne I enquired they said it was for families only! The were targeting the low wage worker families and expecting a family of 3 to live in a 1 bed apt. In Mirdiff they've just started work on 500 low cost vil...

And Dubai is very superficial, because everything is glitzy and glamorous on the outside but as has been said before the basic infrastructures required to run the city are missing, when you scratch the surface there are so many problems. Not much is like living in the real world here, Dubai is a bit...
