I know all that my point is that when you all state that you all respect the law in Dubai it turns out that you don't really. And yes I am aware that your wasta can pull some strings for you but if you run into trouble that wasta dries up real fast and every little misdemeanor will see you going th...

Basically Dubai runs on tourism, foreign investment and a foreign work force. If they tighten the reigns too much, people will stop coming. As I said it's a fine equilibruim that cuts both ways. Sure every now and then something blows up and you get the media coverage and the reiteratrion of laws, j...

B, correct, the poor dog had maggots crawling around inside a gaping would in his neck - that's not what I call someone looking after their animals. She had two other dogs that the municipality wanted to confiscate as well. 'Some' people look after their animals well. My old vet said there are numer...

Just a disaster, but funny non-the-less.

Well regardless he's gone. As I keep saying it was always going to be dead and nothing else.

Of course, I'd be extremely worried to hear of anyone that didn't dream! When you dream it means you've reached REM sleep or Rapid Eye Movement, which is the deepest part of the sleep phase - normally last around 20 minutes and adults usually experience 5 or 6 in a night. At this stage is when you e...

Well you didn't make it clear Mel, perhaps 'aspirations' would have been a more descriptive word. But again, yes I'd be very concerned about anyone who didn't aspire to improve themselves or have things they want to achieve in the future.

Chocoholic

Yeah see! 'Dream's are more like flights of fancy and the majority are unrealistic. Personal goals is a much better idea.

I want a little house on the side of a lake in Thailand, with my own wakeboard boat - that is entirely feasible!

Back ON topic:

Heritage village is nice, I love the fact that no matter what you order you always get something different, but it still tastes great lol

What? Are they kidding? Marmite rocks! It's Vegemite that has to go - blurgh

As I said, there will be no ban from the UAE, but depending how you left your company, there might be a 'work' ban. But if you finished your contract, then all should be fine. Best to ask your company for an NOC just in case.

Chocoholic

Don't look at Bovril then lol

Back ON topic - it seems the local press have now picked up the petition and it's starting to gather some ground, which is great news :D Going slightly sideways, it saddens me to once again today see people trying to 'off-load' the animals they'd taken on, just because the pet becomes a bit naughty ...

Chocoholic

As I said Mel, depends what type of 'dream' you're talking about really. I don't like to call aspirations or goals dreams, because dreams are mostly that, just something that you dream about having, but which isn't necessarily obtainable! Whereas the other definitions most certainly are. I like to l...

However, as BM says, its not for everyone.

Hence they're very popular tagline - you either love it, or hate it!

Nice DD! So what do you want to try your hand at next?

Well talking about driving lessons, you do know that they're 'apparently' teaching the Australian system here!!! However,m the standard I've wotnessed first hand of many of the instructors here is down right appalling. Do as I say, don't do as I do - as per usual.

To add to what DDS said, stay awaaaaaaay from the old Nissan Patrols - they're the nut jobs of the roads!

Marmite is yummy scrummy, on hot buttered toast - nothing like it

Chocoholic

It would be a good diea BB, but sadly I don't think they'd really care

Chocoholic

But don't forget you're dealing with the 'Inshallah' attitude! It's not THEIR life as far as they're concerned.

It did make me chuckle at te Royal wedding when they played the national anthem ad everybody else was singing, but Queenie obviously didn't have to. What would she sing? 'God save me?' lol

You know back in the day, they actually took the majority of roundabouts out of Dubai because there were so many accidents as people didn't understand how to use them?! Sadly in recent years the roundabouts have been put back in and people still don't know how to use them, you get the idiots in the ...

Chocoholic

Just horrible. It's the same in China, where families are only allowed one child, but I don't think parents are allowed to be told the s.e.x of the child before birth, because of the number of abortions of girls. Trouble is, these nations will end up being male biased societies - where are the women...
