Oh my gosh, that's so sad :( As bad as this may sound, that's one reason I probably won't be getting a pet as much as I want to. As much as I love those adorable little doggies and cats, I can't bring myself to having to leave them behind or even outside my place in this heat. And you'd be surprise...

I see so many people wanting animals as an accessory and they don't stop and think of the long term commitment to them. It's no pleasant experience having to have an animal put down. It still reduces me to tears now, when I had to have my beloved dog put to sleep, as she'd been suffering from and un...

Do you know what BM, if you don't have anything nice to say, then just keep schtum hey - just because you don't agree, does not give you the right to try and make others feel bad for the way they feel. That little dog saw me through thick and thin, I brought her and my cat to Dubai with me - she was...

I have a rose at the base of my spine, I actually fell asleep whilst it was being done. It needs a touch up and I'd like something else, but can never decide or where to put it. My boy has 3, but being a military guy they all the big bold ones or latin phrases. I have a few Emirati friends who all h...

spellcheckgirl, give it a rest hey, not everyones first language is English!

As for the original question, no not really. There will be an element of truth, but many stories are full of spin and sensationalism to sell papers.

Why don't you go round and ask him? And politely ask if he is aware everyone can see his danglies!

I don't know, what do they say about girls with tattoos there? I had mine done there because I like things symmetrical on my body, so one in the centre of me seemed obvious.

My brother has his wife and two children's names done down his spine in Chinese - he's going for the Becks look lol

I was about 6 years old when I found honey bee whilst walking home from school. It couldn't fly, so I picked it up and cupped it in both my hands. It didn't sting me or try to get away. I thought about taking it home to look after, but then realised that it would never be able to fly or return to i...

I thought very lnog and hard about where I'd put my tattoo. I put it there because 1. I can't see it! 2. No one else can see it, unless I want them too. 3. I have virtually no feeling in my lower back, so knew it wouldn't hurt.

It's a bit scary really to see people hauled up, just for writing about what they believe in. Another thing that sets this region back a gazillion years.

As the saying goes, 'I may not agree with what you say, but I will fight to the death for your right to say it!'.

Happening pretty much now. The longest eclipse for the last 85 years.

Go outside and take a look

Chocoholic

It starts around now, the peak will be coming up to midnight and ends around 2am. The moon should turn red.

I have a freind who owns a dog the size of a medium sized horse! She insists its very gentle. The dog has taken a liking to me, and much as I like to avoid it, it insists on putting both its paws on my shoulders whenever we meet. We usually end up in a sort of a saint vituses dance, going backwards...

they asked for it, did they honestly think that they could lead a protest against the government like what was going in some other nations nearby? besides you dont go out calling the leaders names and describe them as thiefs and bribes after everything they have done for us and the da#N country the...

Does it work vice versa ? Do the Chinese have words in English tattooed on them ? Me rove you rong time ?? It's a personal thing DDS, some of them look really really nice. You just have to make sure the translations are correct - obviously. I also have friends who have tattoos in Arabic, Hebrew and...

Nothing new to be honest, had this happen to a couple of friends a few years ago. The trouble is you can't really report it, as the authorities are likely to accuse you of taking drugs, so another Catch 22.

Sad, but true. What about all the people who were 'tricked' with the promise of good office jobs and ended up as construction workers, with their passports taken away etc? Yes, the fault of the ruthless companies that would abuse people like that, but true non-the-less. Did you forget that the worke...

You're a suck up is what you are! Don't play the whole pious thing either. You have zero and I mean zero idea of what it's like really in the UAE, you come once in a blue moon to your 'holiday' home. Well some of us have lived and worked our socks off for years.

bad news travel quick, i wouldnt go to a place were i have heard all those negativities about it, and risk being stuck there for life with a sh1tty job, but hey, they still keep commoing, so i would only assume that there must be something good here for them, you, and everybody else whop came here ...

Did anyone check out the Eclipse? It was pretty cool I have to say.

Chocoholic

This is true. Te thing that I feel sad mostly about, is the people that came here with the aim of making a fast buck, took it for all it was worth then disappeared. Like all the ruthless developers, who took honest investors cash and then ran, after all that only now are regulations put in place to ...

A step in the right direction, time to stub out those cigs: http://www.thenational.ae/news/uae-news/smoking-law-in-force-by-year-end Interested in how they're going to enforce the no-smoking in cars around children under 12.

Just FYI: Thursday, June 30 2011 has been declared a holiday to commemorate the Isra'a & Mi'raj of Prophet Mohammad PBUH. It is actually the 28th - I think - but has been moved to allow for a long weekend. This is for the public sector, the private sector hasn't yet been announced, as far as I'm...

Must try harder next time!

My zoom lense did the trip, but I really needed a tripod with a remote shutter control.
