Mmmm not sure 97.3 or something like that. I know a few guys working for them, they're due to launch in the next month or so.

Chocoholic

LOL that'll soon change! I know the guy programming the music!

I'm sure you're smart enough to figure it out.

Don't so utterly ridiculous. Of course there won't be national holidays and the only Emirate that is truly mourning is Abu Dhabi.

I do however, get 3 days off - na na nana na

Chocoholic

Teddybear, seriously get over yourself. You can't expect the entire place to grind to a halt. Live goes on.

We mourned last night, at Barasti, then Bar Zar. And we shall do the same again tonight. Not 100% that all events are cancelled either, no official word.

Chocoholic

Dubai is business as usual. Just had confirmation all the events/concerts are ON!

Chocoholic

It's not necessarily fines, I know of a few people who are unregistered because the finiky testing centres keep failing their vehicles for the stupidest reasons - er like a small dent in the wing, which does not affect the car in the slightest, yet it would cost quite a bit to fix, so these people j...

Also believe it or not we have the 'wrong type' of sunshine in the UAE for solar panels to work effectively on a large scale. BP completed an extensive research project into this a few years ago and it turns out the sunlight here is too harsh.

Chocoholic

Many locals are very pleasant and nice, sadly it's the idiot ones that give the rest a bad name, and even other arab nationalities pretending to be Emirati that act in the bad ways.

Chocoholic

Hang on a second. I think this is very one-sided. First of all the most important thing for people with any kind of mental illness is to have a strong support system around them, people who understand, that can be turned to when things don't go quite right. Most of these issues arise because the oth...

Chocoholic

LOL define 'normal'. But most people with mental illness do not tell others unless they can trust them 100%, because sadly many people have a misconception of the issues.

The stupidest thing is that it was hear say from a 2 year old child!!!! The mother never actually saw it. In any other country it would be laughed off. Why waste time and resources. Go catch real criminals.

Chocoholic

Sorry Bora but no, sometimes meds are not the way to go. It can take months maybe even years to find the right drugs in the right doses, there are other ways to control the symptoms. In many cases the drugs have a severe negative effect. Imagine walking around like and unfeeling zombie and all you w...

Chocoholic

Bora, I am well aware of the ranges - from Cyclothemia, to Bipolar 1 & 2 - and the fact is there is a whole range of medications, some work for some people others don't, any psychiatrist will tell you that and sadly with many people it is still a case of trial and error, you start at one dosage ...

Chocoholic

Read the rules!

Chocoholic

RB, seriously most parents in this part of the world haven't got a clue what's right for their children! That's why they let them run around the inside of cars without a seatbelt, then wonder why their head gets smashed to bits as they go flying through the windscreen in an accident. Any other court...

Chocoholic

The law actually states that for PDA's it's a fine and a caution. Only for 'severe breaches' is a jail term and deportation sought.

So basically the entire case is BS!

Chocoholic

I have acat. He's fat and lazy and doesn't do much, but has a great personality

Chocoholic

Dubai's doors are open to everyone? Yeah right! Oh purrrlease! In another thread you are openly advising people to break the law!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sage, seriously get over it. People know the laws, but everyone also knows the authorities turn a blind eye so long as you behave. Your scaremongering ...

Chocoholic

Oh get over it would you. It's hardly a 'risk' because the authorities know about it. The same as hotels are not supposed to let unmarried couples share a room, but hey that would kill the tourism industry dead. You simply tell people you are married, and wear a set of wedding rings, that's what mos...

Chocoholic

You simply tell people you are married, and wear a set of wedding rings, that's what most people I know do, never ever had any issues or problems, never heard of any either. Once again you're just a scaremongerer. one ly leads to another ;) next they will be saying oh i 4got shes my sister :D RB, y...

erm you do realise this thread is 5 years old right?

Chocoholic

LOL Symmetric do you work for mOre? Last time I ate there I had the worst food poisoning EVER! for Sushi, try Bentoya on Shk Zayed road behind the Sketchers building - awsome and you know it's good because all the Japanese eat there. Duh of course the Chinese/Indian etc food is commercial. If you wa...

Chocoholic

DD, I totally agree with you. All the big eateries are commercial food outlets, they rely on large quantities, fast turnover and the food can suffer.

I love the more street food, the tiny places, where it's cheap as anything and the food is good.

Chocoholic

You miss the point entirely. If the authorities enforced the cohabitation laws - which they don't - then people would not come and work here. Stop seeing things in black and white, when there are gaping grey areas. I'm simply stating to you lot who jump up and down and go 'it's against the law, you'...

Chocoholic

Still not getting it are you! The authorities TURN A BLIND EYE because they HAVE TO! Otherwise NO ONE WOULD COME!

What do you not understand about that.

Chocoholic

Whatever! You can carry on scaring people, and I'll just tell it how it REALLY is.

Chocoholic

Oh for goodness sake you lot are impossible! It's a simnple fact that you are ok, so long as you don't annoy anyone - what is so hard to understand about that fact.

As I said before, you lot can scaremonger. And I'll tell it how it really is.
