Dubai Forums

I think smoking areas are ok, but unfortunately smoke knows no bounds.

Oooo now that's a defeatist attitude if ever I saw one! Criticism, if it's constructive is always a good thing, people can't profess to know everything, there is always someone with more knowledge and experience than us. It's how you use that criticism that makes you. Also just giving someone a plan...

Will it work in Abu Dhabi?... I'll believe it when I see it.

LOL yeah I've seen that, quite funny actually.

Nicely thought out reply Bora and I pretty much agree with all of that.

The points raised so far pretty much nail it. There needs to be better information for travellers, films on flights or information leaflets at the airport on arrival or on the flights, but good relevant info which doesn't scare the pants off a traveller, for example if you go to the British Embassy ...

With cheaper flights and packages, you're bound to get 'undesirables' or the bucket and spade brigade, who would be better suited to Spain or somewhere like that. I mean 7 or 8 years ago, you really didn't have the problems that you see reported virtually every week. The flights are shootimg up lat...

No, there is no actual law, but Fatwa's are effectively law in Saudi. Many of these women has licenses obtained abroad, yet they still aren't allowed to drive. My mum used to drive around our expat compound in Saudi - but that's another matter. Once again it's a stupid, backward, archaic law by 'men...

Hi bora, Will I would say the need of expats is due to the development of the country. 6 million expats means 6 million jobs compared to 1 million locals ! who is going to fill those jobs but expats .Americans don’t do gardening , they are leaving it to Mexicans. So its mostly a matter of numbers m...

Stupid woman, seriously, what was she thinking. Poor kitties

Shower gel. Soaps go all messy and gooey, not the best to travel with and collect hairs and stuff - yuck.

I think drinkers (alcohol) cause more problems (health, crime, accidents, economy, etc.) than smokers do yet there is less of an outcry and laws against drinking...(yes, even in muslim countries). Smoke away...I can move... Do I really have to write this down in simple mans terms for you? Simply be...

What a daft story. I like the way they order the 'children' to do the stoning - er would the adults feel a bit stupid? Probably!

At least the muttley got away.

Please don't speak about locals as a whole as if you're our God (a3uthubilla) or something - been trying really hard to stay out of this conversation; but you're just making us look worse and worse and worse... Don't worry Burshra, Kid only makes himself look stupid - on virtually every occasion. W...

It's a turn of phrase BM or should I have used Layman's terms? Really not interested in your shag list TBH.

Spinneys have the,m ,ubg tthey're normally in the fridge sectionwith other bread-like products. I love a good crumpet with butter and strawberry jam - yum yum

Hahaha well that's the blokes well and truly put in their place isn't it?

It really is a shame that Kid will never ever see the other side of a situation. His loss I guess and that's why things don't progress - closed mentality.

In all honesty, have a look on Dubizzle - so many people living and giving their stuff away at low prices.

Meh, don't really care what that numpty thinks, everyone is allowed to make typos and mistakes.

I just put the crumpets in the toaster.

With cheese? eewwwww no!

Park N Shop is probably the most random place ever. If you can't find something always try there. It's on Al Wasl road, past Safa park, headed towards MOE.

I see there's no constructive anything going on in here - just the usual crap from the same people.

GaGa loves to shock!

Feel sorry for a little Spanish town that was painted Blue, to promote the new Smurfs 3D movie:

erm as someone touting for business and 'spamming' a forum, you might want to look at re-writing that Jonathan.

There's no such thing as permanent residency in the UAE - it's not possible. You'd either have to register yourself in the freezone and sposor your family through visas, or be employed by a company, who would then sponsor you and you family.

Just outrageous really and makes a total mockery of the whole thing.

Well they say that in 200 years natural blondes with blue eyes will be extinct and probably the last will be in Finland. Having those traits is actually a genetic mutation. You will always have those who will seek out their own as it were. Take my family, one side is like an advert for the United Co...

erm the star rating was probably that given by the website and ratings of other users, NOT the actual hotel star rating.

Ah crap - get lost mohid, you're really boring now! How many usernames is that? You're upto about 14 now.
