LOL well it seems my hand has been forced as my laptop has literally died and the hard drive is completely corrupted, to the point that it displays no data or even drive partitians. I can recover the data if necessary - thank goodness fo back ups! But new laptop here I come - now what to get? Hmmmm ...

Chocoholic

Sad to see so many narrow minded opinions, without people bothering to look at why these things happen.

And you don't have to be muslim to cover up!

Chocoholic

Or you could be like the van that was infront of me this morning and indicate right, then suddenly go left and nearly broadside me.

I figured out why people don't use them here. Because when you indicate the buggers behind you always speed up and close the gap!

Chocoholic

Plus you know when they've got a phone in one hand, coffee in the other, paper inbetween, there's no time to use indicators.

Chocoholic

Pray you don't cut into my lane without indicating. It's the people who think indicating makes it ok to cut right in front of me causing me to leave massive skidmarks on the road and in my underpants that annoy me most. Then on the flipside you should always leave space so that if someone needs to ...

Chocoholic

That's only because most road users here are inconsiderate and only think the road are for themselves.

Chocoholic

But even if people do use the hose, that's still no excuse for leaving the place in a state! People can mop up after themselves, they just can't be bothered.

Chocoholic

Urgh you're like me Bora, I can't stand to touch anything. I carry those little bottles of all in one germ killing hand lotion. It annoys me that many peple can't do such a basic hygiene practice such as washing their hands as soon as they come out the loo - it's disgusting. For this reason I can't ...

Chocoholic

erm and how would you know whether they were muslim or not? Not all muslims are arabs you know. And there are other ways to cover up

geez talk about zero imagination.

No I don't have that problem, because I simply don't go to those places anymore.

Chocoholic

Nope, converted to a macbook and love it love it love it. Does all the things I want/need and more so.

RK are you off your rocker? 12am is midnight. Easiest way is to use a 24 hour clock instead of AM and PM. So 12 midnight = 00.00!

You're an adult and you're asking these basic questions?

Did they not teach YOU basic time calculations at school?

Chocoholic

The National and 7 Days - the others are all governmentally controlled, so have limited press freedom on what they will print.

Chocoholic

Dude, being a mod has nothing to do with the way I express my opinion, get over that fact! Go back and read your posts again and see why I might have come to that conclusion. Wearing an abaya is covering up no? Well you can wear other things to make you feel more comfortable. But the real easy solut...

Chocoholic

Ahhhh the Japanese toilets on some of the hotels are what's needed. They have a control pad at the side with different settings for women and men. You get a rinse and blow dry while you're there - lol funniest thing I've ever seen.

Look out for them if you ever go to the Meridien Al Aqa!

Chocoholic

ahhh but you see the people who moan and complain can 9 times out of 10 afford to pay abit more and go to a more private place. Also on the flipside, some of the swim suits or lack thereof that I have seen some people wearing are completely inappropriate - never mind guys wearing underpants that go ...

Chocoholic

Typical, unable to give a decent answer, why am I not surprised. And who says thousands of dirhams? There are other 'free' and cheap places. So if you had your way it would be a segregated beach - nice throw the palce back into the dark ages. Oh and the 'request' to ban all the workers is not unreas...

Chocoholic

Yes true. But the education and fine route is really the only way to go. Asking for them to be banned from 'public' places is just stupid! There are a few free places where they won't go because it involves a little bit of travel. But I'm not about to reveal my 'special' places - don't want an influ...

Chocoholic

To all the idiots on your high horses asking "what toilets have you been to?" try any bathroom in a workplace that you are forced to share with workers. Bottom line, there should be a fine for people who leave the john in a disgusting state. Or to a lesser extent a sign on the wall remind...

Chocoholic

It still manages to get away with alot of things that you won't find in the broadsheets.

Chocoholic

Of course you should still get a bonus, you did the work so are therefore entitiled to it! I'd say you probably have a case for the labour department, why don't you give them a call and tell them your issues. Sadly companies are changing their rules and making things up as they go along, and the peo...

Chocoholic

So you assume that once people reach adulthood they are incapable of learning anything new? What planet are you living on? Of course people can be taught how to behave properly, because what it boils down to is the fact that these guys don't! They've never been told that certain things are unaccepta...

Chocoholic

Not really but sadly it's an issue and a problem all over the place and nonce again boils down to basic education or 'leave it how you'd expect to find it'.

Personally removing the hoses would stop most of the issues.

Chocoholic

Hardly an abstract theory. You statement about adults not having the ability to learn is the most retarded thing I've read in a long time. And I don't think asking for 'normality' is thinking outside the box. Annnnd just because things take time to change doesn't mean they won't. If we all thought l...

Chocoholic

Yeah eewwwwww! I remeber being in the airport and a lady had gone to the loo then used the hose, she was literally drip drying, all her skirt was soaking wet it was

ing! You can hoes, but use paper to dry off and get those bits that a hose wll not clean!

Chocoholic

erm you don't leave the paper in there DD!

Okay don't laugh but here's a suggestion - wetwipes! The ones you use for babies! Brilliant!

Chocoholic

er contact details? Phone numbers/email/webiste. General info, cost etc etc.

Chocoholic

erm nope. UAQ marine club 50 Dhs entrance! RAK, Ghantoot - free entrance if you're doing water sports! And once again, being a mod has nothing to do with my opinion! If I have something to say I will say it and you can choose to agree or not as the case maybe and contribute or not! Beside I have not...

Chocoholic

Yeah its just too ..Ewwww. I've had to use paper on some occasion when I was out camping in the desert etc etc. Just feels something is riding up your butt the whole day and you constantly have these images of crap stuck all over your tush .Errrrrrrr... Just thinking about it makes me wanna go wash...

Chocoholic

Because water aids the disposal and breakdown of waste. Ask Thomas Crapper, he invented the flushable toilet!

Wipping yourself down with paper, nah you'd get covered in ink!

But honestly I don't get the hosing thing and drip drying is gross. Hose but wipe dry surely.
