Happy National Day! The UAE is 38 years young, it's had its ups and downs, but great achievements have been made in such a short space of time.

National Day is for everyone residing in the UAE, because everyone who has or does live here contributes to it's continuation.

Eish - you guys really have bought into the Dubai brainwashing! You know those rose tinted glasses will fall of your face and smash one of these days, then, oops how silly will you feel. There's problems everywhere, but the state and scale of the corruption, double standards etc etc in this place is...

Well according to reports it wasn't cash, but Dubai World reported Four Million Dollars worth of equipment was missing.

Not obvious at all seeing as Ahmed speaks perfect English!

I don't think you'll find moving will make much of a difference, this is a problem all over Dubai, kind of a down side to living in the dessert!

Well according to reports it wasn't cash, but Dubai World reported Four Million Dollars worth of equipment was missing. I believe that is correct, in any case the guy is nothing but a common thief and he was lucky to have escaped dressed as a woman. A 'so called thief' that delivered private submar...

Dude, I 'know' how psych sessions work, you don't have to tell me!

There's also the Dubai Community Health Centre:

http://www.dubaicommunityhealthcentre.org/

They have Drs of all nationalities and are very good, but they are always super busy, so it can take some time to get an appointment.

kdsilva, in all honesty I'd take a look at www.expatwoman.com

There's tonnes of info from the ladies there about all the maternity care in Dubai and some real horror stories, you'll get better advice there.

You don't need to call the police for this sort of thing, that's ridiculous. Whatever happened to actually going and 'talking' to your neighbours yourself and asking them to stop it, telling them they're being very inconsiderate.

The municipality does round up dogs on the street and they are given a certain amount of time before they are put down, if the owner does not claim it or they can't rehome it. All dogs and cats are required to have micro chips and municipality tags to say they've been vaccinated. K-9 are always full...

EH, you don't half post some garbage! And what about 'disobedient' husbands? Can the get a beating too?

Violence against anyone for any reason is unnaccpetable in todays society. Please stop bringing up these stone age, archaic ways of thinking.

Just please don't let any of them near the controls of a shuttle!

Hold up! Just let me charge the dilithium crystals and bring the warp drives online and offfff we go!

That's not true! We're much better these days! FYI, I've never had a filling - neh ne ne ne neh!

LOOOL look at you guys, you were bitc..ing about this thread for a week and now when it's posted again it's empty just like your heads. point proven again. even choc who is childishly trying to get at sage couldn't add a thing to it. too sad. I was merely restoring the original thread so people who...

The thread is not by Capsicum, but by onthepalm, and it is extremely childish and pointless.

But then that's being totally hypocritical is it not? To allow a 'free' press, but then to edit/remove material that you do not agree with. Come on! Wake up! The press in the UAE is beyond a joke, they view the world through rose tinted glasses and get away and report what they can, but we all know ...

And the point is what Kid, that Big Brother Abu Dhabi is bailing lil' bro out - once again, as we already all new they would.

So tis the season to be jolly! What's everyone upto? I'm in the throws of moving, couldn't be a worse time 'what to do'. Looking forward to Crimbo at the irish Village and fun Christmas Eve party at a mates. No idea for New Years, determined not to get sucked ito the paying a fortune for something I...

Did the village one christmas day and I must say it was a bit sad. Xmas day doesn't feel right going out IMO Noooooo don't say that! Well mind you with the group of mates we have getting together, we could have a good time at a funeral! erm IV is 140Dhs, drinks on top, we'll just order a few nice b...

Who are you trying to kid Kid! We all know very well that 'locals' don't give a damn about anyone on the road, the rest of us are just in the way! They are selfish, ignorant, arrogant morons. I really don't care if they go kill themselves, but it's the poor people they take with them!

Emarate is probably wondering what that hell is wrong with "zero indications, yapping on the phone whilst driving and speeding". The police never pull anyone over for this. Not using a seat belt is another common site, but in this case Darwin's therory will prevail and they are doing mank...

Nice XTP, unfortunately I don't think that'll work. Sage is over the hill and how many 'old' people do you see in the UAE, er virtually none. They're all rounded up and taken off somewhere.

I think that you will find that Sage probably has a secure income and is grateful to Dubai for this, hence "Dubai Defender". It is more likely that you have lost you job in Dubai and are now dirty about it, hence "Dubai Basher". This is understandable, given that if you were in ...

Ahhhh that's lovely, I miss a good family Christmas.

Actually all stations ask people to text only if it's safe to do so and do not encourage it whilst driving, also phone calls should be done with a headset.

I'm a constant flicker.

I know lots of people who listen via the net at work, in taxis, in shopping malls etc etc.

Sharjah seems to be getting tighter all the time for whatever reason. Can't really see the same things happening in Dubai, as I said they already tried it and it didn't work.
