I'm quite glad that HSBC offer a special card for online purchases which only has a low limit to it.

There's no doubt that education is important. But so is experience. Who is a company more likely to employ, some snot nosed guy with 10 degrees to his name, or someone who can actually do the job? Experience counts for everything, and in that lies the Catch 22, how do you get experience if no one gi...

So I'm merrily making my way to work and in the middle of over taking a car, when some complete ******* **** *** decides to zoom up behind me and try to get into my boot! I indicate that I'm going to get out of his way, but obviously there's another car kind of blocking the way just now. I get round...

Edward Furlong - yes, and your point is what now? He's done lots of stuff, but he also p*ssed off alot of hollywood bigwigs who refused to cast him.

Chocoholic

I think people are more likely to celebrate the day he took a short drop!

I wouldn't say all billionaires have stepped over people to get where they are. If you want a really incredible rags to riches story, take a look at Chris Gardner - the guy the movie Pursuit of Happyness was based on. Incredible and heart warming story of a guy who lost absolutely everything, but wa...

Did you manage to get through the RTA call centre and report the guy? I've never managed to get someone on the line Btw, what bike will you get once you're licensed? Yup, there's a dedicated number 800 4353 - they don't always speak English, but will find someone who does. My other half is going to...

Chocoholic

No they don't call you back. All you can do is check the website to see if they've issued a fine.

I agree and the old saying is so true, 'work to live, don't live to work'. I know so many people that kill themselves in their jobs and for what? They're all miserable as heck. It's a balancing game, but you have to get life's priorities right.

Chocoholic

Indeed greed is not always good.

Not in the Arab world, Arabs love(d) him.

er no they don't! As K says, please back up your statement that all arabs loved him?

I've been following this story and she's only come out to try and cover herself, but done more damage in the process. If she's such an animal lover, how could she miss holes and festering wounds in the dogs neck? I hope the DM don't give the dog back to her and confiscate the other two that she has.

Chocoholic

Well apparently she was given 3 days t produce all the paper work for the other two dogs and if she couldn't, then they were going to be removed.

Yeah I also thought someone needs to go and check on her children.

Then you must also think that all women are attention graving golddiggers (or plainly said ho's), right?

LOL but sadly men are a tad more predictable than women.

I thought it was nicely done actually. All the young royals showed exactly why they've captured peoples hearts, in that they're so down to earth and 'normal' and not stuffy like the older generations - that's why Diana was so popular and become the people's princess. Harry decorating Charles old Ast...

Chocoholic

Cheap as usual with no taste what so ever. That's why various members of the UAE royal family were fairly prominently seated near the front at Westminster Abbey. If it had been done here, I assume you would have had a massed chorus of wailing, hair swinging women, a bunch of guys swinging Charlie C...

A truely bizzare story allowing a teenage girl dating an adult person in a country where there is the sharia law applied when local citizens are involved. I had to read it a few times to believe what I was reading. The Mohammed in question is only 17, so no he's not an adult yet, he's still a teena...

A Sheikh is a Sheikh in the UAE or Saudi Arabia. In Europe, N America etc. any Arab might call himself a Sheikh. There are good Sheikhs and bad ones. BM was in Dubai for a short visit with her daughter, and is now back in the UK. I think they all enjoyed themselves, and I enjoyed reading her accoun...

Chocoholic

In all honesty I don't think you'll have much luck with this question here as no members as far as I am aware work fr Emirates.

Try posting on expatwoman.com as there are many Emirates crew and workers on there.

Chocoholic

I think its a total waste of time and a great turn-off! As for "tradition", go far enough back into the history of mankind and what do you get? Better to look ahead. Tradition belongs in a museum. 8) Yes, I tend to find this is usually the opinion of those who don’t have it!, never mind Z...

Chocoholic

Yes, but don't forget many people need lots of treatments. Where are they supposed to suddenly find all this spare cash from? And why Dubai? None of the other emirates are scraping the free treatment.

Chocoholic

Too true Bora, once again EH has got his blinkers on. Expats, means all nationalities who are not citizens - not just the westerners. The days when expats earned big salaries are long gone. Id; say every one I know earns in the region of 10,000 Dhs - 25,000 Dhs. As BB says that's not alot when you'v...

BM, it's not smart or clever to be posting pictures of the guy on the forum. 1. he's pretty easy to indentify by his tattoos, (there's only two or three guys that do tattooing here - I know all of them! and they all post pics of their work, so not hard to identify.) 2. his trousers are extremely low...

Chocoholic

But I bet that doesn't take into account the amount of money that was earned during the wedding!

Also what about men in sarongs? Becks looked awsome in a sarong.

Zonker you're a bit of an idiot to say kilts are cross-dressing, it's national dress and that's insulting. Would you like us to say all the locals wear dresses most of the time? Because that's basically what they are!

Chocoholic

Well we had two classic instances last week. Some douche on emirates road was letting his young girl stand up out the sunroof as the traffic was moving slowly. But traffic was up and down and she kept popping out. I did a few gestures, but with no luck, then when the traffic basically came to a halt...

Mmm just goes to show that they don't trust the authorities here.

As I said, it's up to him what he posts on his FB, but it's not for YOU to post it here. It's not a frightener, it's common sense! What you've posted in here could get the forum shut down - simple as! Don't you realise that people report inappropriate stuff to Du and Etisalat every day and get forum...

Chocoholic

If i had to guess, i would say this isn't a picture of the chap in question at all..... 1. The "tatoos" are drawn on the picture (as BM has said). 2. The "T.King" tatoo is hardly likely to represent "The King", but rather "Tom King"or similar. 3. What's with ...
