Here is the list so far, 1. spitting 2. litter in the streets 3. plastic bags and bottles scattered across the desert 4. idiotic drivers 5. double standards in the way that the law is sometimes applied 6. perception/ reality of uncontrolable rent increases 7. daily reports of labour problems 8 traff...

Smart.

Better yet, dishes, glasses, pot and pans seem to be cheap just throw them away after each use! Not that the paper or plastic ones.

Thanks Kamil, My wife and I are planning a short trip (4 days three nights) to Istanbul from Dubai. I am sure there are lots to do, etc. Our typical travel pattern is to stay centrally located in a city (not at a resort or far away hotel) so that we can travel around by taxi or public transportation...

Instead of brickoven cooked pizza you could order rooftop cooked pizza (no flame required)

That seems to be the consensus.

Amazing Idea and after an initial airlift you can build your own factory in Dubai. Labor is cheap and there is lot of construction equipment around which you guys could rent for cheap. Think about it: it would be the cleanest factory around and you will be saying on jet fuel for all those air lifts ...

Haven't lost hope on scoring a few thousand shares on the deal. So here is some additonal marketing advice.: How about commissioning 50 "Scouring Man" figures like those yellow ones out on the streets in Dubai at the moment (they look like the Michellene Man and must mean something) or the...

What's the difference between a dead snake and a dead lawyer in the middle of the road? There are skid marks in front of the snake.

Ian, My understanding is that a medical card and private insurance are as different as night and day. When I got my medical card people told me "put it away as it is worthless". Meaning that it can be used to go to the public hospitals or certain places but must places catering to westerns...

Arnie What's up with your stock exhange buddies. Every day that goes by is money that does not come into the Portfolio. Without Scourer R Us stock (and divident income), I can't retire early and will have to work a number of more decades! Need to recruit a first class CFO [maybe be time to post the ...

Here it goes. I may need some assistance by a copy editor (don't foget I'll take stock as compensation). Before moving it on to the employment forum I want to clear the add by the Board. "Scourers R Us. Looking for Experience CFO. Qualifications: Proficiency in Zimbawe Languages (as many as the...

EJ and Zooter hope your banter is not indicative of how the board meeting will be conducted (we need all the time to make money!). I thought of the first "promotion" as I filled up my gas tank today. Since almost invariably they clean the car windons (with a dirty sponge), Scouring R Us co...

its an upsidedown tear drop. Like the ones shed when looking at your bill.

Soory I missed the board meeting but had to make sure the bank would have enought storage space for my cash. Plus I had to negotiate a "volume discount" fee arrangment with the broker. Anyway, the best marketing news I have heard so far is the possibility of a lawsuit by Sony. Great stuff ...

Nevermind what the guides state. Do you tip anyone in Dubai? If so, who and who much (%)?

Concord

I give the biggest tips to the lowest paid workers. For example all those guys that wash cars at the mall. The price is 10 dirhams and I always pay 20. In addition I pay them before the do they job (I don't want them waiting for me for the money while I shop). I imagine some people pull away without...

I always give the guys in the petrol station 5 dhs each, and at restrauants but only when i get good service (10%). Also taxi drivers if they a/ dont smell b/ actually know where they are going c/ they are pleasant and dont grunt when spoken too. I agree with "C". with respect to "b&...

HP I typically don't find your posts funny (although you make an effort) but the "observations" on tipping post was really funny (particularly closing with number "6").

I thought of it but by the time I was typing the first letter "t" in the word "Congratulations" he was already up to 3025 posts!

In any event, congratulations.

I heard of a reliable Private Eye company. They are know as "S3 Guys" (Sneaky, Sleezy & Shameless) they'll get to the bottom of it. Meawhile, the legal firm of "Cheat'em & Fleece'em, LLP" is willing to defend Scourers R Us against Sony. They will even take it on a conting...

Their logo should be a Generic Bank Deposit Slip or a Money Printing Press (for all the money they take from the customers)

Hiya, go stand in the middle of SZR and then ask us questions on how it feels to get run over by a crazy guy in a Land Cruiser going 180kph... Best reponse to I've seen in the forum thus far [all topics] By the way Arnie what happened to that chick "Linday I have a bit chip on my shoulder"...

Man oh man! Great stuff with the song paradies! Which of course begets a new Idea. Scourer R Us should sponsor concert series. For example: "JLo this time coming to Dubai for Real - concert sponsored by Scourers R Us"; "Barbara Strasing this time her real last concert"; "Rol...

Man oh man. Great stuff with the song paradies. Of course that just brings up a new idea. Scourers R Us should sponsor concert series. For example: "JLo Coming to Dubai this time for real tour - sponsored by Scourers R Us"; "Rolling Stones Octogenerian's Tour ..." "Barbara S...
