That's probably the silliest thing I've seen in a long time. So never mind when they're ill, are these people boycotting Israeli technology in their daily lives too? I bet you they don't!

Chocoholic

It's quite amusing that they put all the good stuff that's been invented by Israel on the back, so on the one hand they want nothing to do with them, on the other, they're bigging them up. A bit ridiculous really.

Chocoholic

These are quite old now, but still a really nice idea

Sorry to say, but I think you'd be pretty much stuck! Even if you got the money together for plane tickets, chances are they'd stop you at immigration at the airport due to the fines and overstays. I would suggest you contact the DNRD and immigration and see if there is anyway they'd take pity on yo...

Chocoholic

Contacting your embassy (I'm assuming British in your case) would probably be a good idea, to see what they can suggest. Given that you're a minor and none of this is your fault, they could probably work it so that you can leave - your parents however, will be a whole other matter.

Chocoholic

Ah but you can bet your bottom dollar, they're also charging the tenant the agency fee as well. This isn't on - they're supposed to do it once, for the initial contract, but why charge again once everything is in place. If it's a contract renewal, then they're probably entitled to it, but not every ...

The metro will take you even longer, nearly 1.5 hours.

Chocoholic

Sorry nope, I'm not going to 'lower' my driving standards to fit in with the maniacs!

Chocoholic

LOL - good to see some humour from the fanbois for a change. ;) (Chocs - it isn't a real card, :roll: ) I'm reminded of all those who opposed the economic boycott of Apartheid South Africa. But hey, when fanbois are complaining, you know it must be hurting. The momentum on the diplomatic side seems...

Chocoholic

Dillon is correct, as a non-resident of the UK you are not entitled to anything. I would think long and hard about your decisions. You can't just waltz in and expect to be given all the benefits that residents have, it doesn't work like that. I would strongly suggest your family try to resolve their...

Chocoholic

Well they're now clamping down on non-payers of traffic fines according to this:

LOL wouldn't we all love to just be able to rock up and live and work of our country of choice, anywhere in the world? Just doesn't happen.

Knew a guy called Barnaby Butterfield and Justin Doors, Simon Winterbottom. I know what's it's like to have a 'bad' surname - years of being on the end of numerous jokes - oh yes and everyone thinks they're the first. Er no, there's nothing anyone could say that I haven't heard like a gazillion time...

Chocoholic

You dragged up a three year old thread just to say that? I say it's you being very silly personally! As has already been pointed out to you, please keep all nasty comments in FC. The forum is running rather nicely now, and your attempts at 'baiting' aren't going to work.

Foe list you go!

Chocoholic

after being hassled by austrian immigrations, I pray and I hope and I dream that one day on this earth there will be time when humans will be allowed to travel to any country they like without hassle such as airport security and visas!!!! Wouldn't that be lovely :D Speaking of travelling, I have so...

Chocoholic

More than likely.

I was reading elsewhere today about security in the Springs charging people to come in and do work? And asking for payment for permits like gardeners, cleaning agencies etc - cheeky so and so's.

Chocoholic

Oh for goodness sake RB, it's perfectly fine to bring animals here. I brought my cat and dog eons ago. You need an export permit and an import permit and all vaccinations need to be up to date, plus you have to have the rabies test done. I suggest you contact Dubai Kennels and Cattery as they can gu...

Chocoholic

Well birds are different ball game altogether. Honestly no issues with dogs, I know people that have brought their dogs from various countries around the globe and no they're not all 'white' either.

So please don't scare people off.

Chocoholic

LOL no! It's an Urban dictionary term for a woman with large breasts, who likes to wear tight, stripper like clothes! Most people who use that are American.

Chocoholic

Saw that, although it wasn't clear if it escaped from a wildlife sanctuary. More than likely some fool had it as a pet and let it out - wouldn't be the first time.

Chocoholic

It's basically committing female genocide! A male biased society? Exactly as it sounds - more men than women! You might not see the difference in the first couple of generations, but down the line it could be devastating. So men will have to look to other nationalities for their wives. Plus what hap...

Chocoholic

There's plenty of homeless kittens RB. Just visit Feline Friends or have a look on Dubizzle.

Chocoholic

Big cats and other such animals belong in the wild! No question! You can't keep an animal that requires hundreds of kilometers of roaming area in a villa! And I agree with K, people who would have such creatures 'because they can' are completely selfish. Not to mention that many of those that have t...

Chocoholic

I think many people forget that when you're an expat, you don't have family close by or even in the same country, who would normally come and help out, esp with newborns or young children. Everyone's circumstance is different. For example my parents live ten minutes round the corner from my brother,...

Chocoholic

LOL what's that supposed to mean?

Well spotted RB. There are no flies on you.

I am like a honey pot thats why the bees have made a beehive right between my legs wanna see it

Ok, that's just weird - and gross.

Chocoholic

Oh I totally disagree with 'maids' looking after children, afterall they have no formal qualifications in child care at all. It makes me sad when I see so many parents here taking a less than active role in the upbringing of their children.

Chocoholic

Adopting from the shelters doesn't work like that. People are checked to make sure they will make a good owner for the animal, and there is a fee attached to adopting - this is to make sure people are serious about taking on an animal. They're not biased towards any particualr nationality RB, they'r...

Chocoholic

Sorry Andy, not much of a techno jargon geek here either. Can you keep 'General' at the top - seeing as that's where most peeps head to.
