Actually I got to UAQ or Ghantoot several time a week, it really doesn't take that long, but then I do watersports so fine for me. I'm not a sit on the beach a toast type. Dealt with the issue for years on end now, there are ways and means as have been discussed extensively. 'Members Only' clubs are...

Are you talking about the ones for the Air Race? Or the ones for the Flug tag which people invent and make? AR - loads, most of those pilots are ex-airforce or aerobatic pilots. Flugtag - erm you invent your craft to the strict Red Bull specs, enter and if you're picked, get some mug to sit atop it ...

It's a great little paper. I can't get it, so normally read it online.

Chocoholic

Nothing left to say on the matter. You're just being argumentative now, which serves no purpose. I;ve expressed my opinion. Take it or leave it.

End of!

And interstingly half the guys responsible for 7 Days now work for the National aswell!

It's not baffling, andf yes I know very well the difference, you just don't comprehend my point of view which once again is: But my personal opinion is that no-one should be barred from anywhere. I believe so long as people behave in a socially acceptable manner that everyone has the right to enjoy ...

So now you're going to change topic? True, but girls wearing g-strings which resemble cheesewire and don't cover anything is not acceptable on the beach! - the public ones or the private ones! I don't want to see that in any situation thanks very much!

Is to rent or to buy? We don't really do 'houses' in the UAE, they're villas have a look at some of the real estate website and you'll get and idea of what's on offer.

Chocoholic

Ah yes it's a pretty good site!

Chocoholic

Well you'd have to do your PPL first (Private Pilots Licence) and then find somewhere that has aerobatic planes and instructors capable of teaching. They were going to do it at UAQ aeroclub until the ditzy sheikh decided to go against the ATC and CAA and take off without permission and got the place...

Depending where you are renting is ALOT lower than that! I have a huge 3 bed, 3 storey villa and pay 96,000 Dhs!

Chocoholic

Nope! And yes indeed Mirdiff, in fact the going price for 2 to 3 bed villas in Mirdiff is between 90,000 and 150,000 at the moment - there are soooo many lying empty you can make stupid offers. I saw an independent 3 bedroom villa with it's own pool for 140,000 - bargin! If you take the time to hunt...

Chocoholic

Well I don't even think it has to be huge amounts before people come after you these days. As I have written before I know of several people who did runners owing money and debt collectors have been sent after them, they're had travel bans put on them world wide to basically they are screwed. It'll ...

Lawyers definately help and prices are negotiable.

You definately need an arabic speaker and someone who has experience dealing with your type of situation. I would say get a lwyer from the start.

Be careful as some products which claim to be HD are not truly High Definition.

I've always used HSBC purely because I never go to the branch and do everything online, it's convenient I guess.

Chocoholic

No there isn't but relying on someone else to provide it for you is shallow and in my book a sig of weakness that you're incapable of dong things for yourself. Funmantra sadly it is true that many of these girls are pushed into arranged marriages and have little choice. GT I totally agree with you, ...

Chocoholic

Ugly on face but kind deep inside (very deep) - and who may that be? Last I heard you were this tall, dashing volleyball player! Gulfnews in my opinion is very inaccurate, they seem to cater to a paticular audience (people from the subcontinent mainly) and their choice of articles in my opinion rea...

Chocoholic

I'd honestly buy a new one, with that price range there are lots of options and good deals to be had. Plus most dealers will give you a years free insurance, register it, and give you 3 years/60,000 Kms servicing and warranty. Less stress, less hassle for a snagley new car.

Chocoholic

Well lucky for me Mac's here don't come with Snow Leopard yet, they come with Leopard. If you want the upgrade you have to order it from the States.

Chocoholic

But if he's taking a loan anyway, better to get from a dealer than buy privately, then at least you can sell the car back to the dealer - a friend of mine has just done that.

Chocoholic

No it's not a moot point at all - in this part of the world it's very common! History my friend has a habit of changing, women these days are much more career minded and life focused than ever before, many more MEN are becoming house husbands, roles are changing. Those girls you met who want to stay...

Chocoholic

There not outrageous claims, it's fact, from where I come from anyway. By the sounds of it you don't even live here, so how would you know about arranged marriages - it's common practice in muslim countries, not to mention marrying within families i.e. first cousin marriages. I don't and won't prove...

Good luck Dresden and just because you're not here, doesn't mean you have to be a stranger. All the best!

Mr Bens in the Al Ghazal shopping centre - brilliant selection. Or there a good costume shop in that random shopping mall on beach road, Beach centre is it? Upstairs on the first floor Or Party shop in garhoud. Or go hunting round Karama for random stuff and make your own. Or I know of a nifty littl...

Also an intersting article in the National saying that supply way outstrips demand by 25% currently and will get even worse!

Never knew you listen to Hindi radio!

Radio 2 blows, it's not what it used to be. And that trio on breakfast is the worst drivel I think I've ever heard.
