Thanks Yorky,

Car insurance???

What's that about?

I imagine it means coverage in that country. What if I am not already covered? Can I just buy a "policy" there?

Neverming :shock: :shock: and thanks. Just called the car rental company and they won't allow their cars to be driven in another country. Unless with special exemption (which they could arrange for me) but would take 2 to 3 days to do :shock: :shock: So srew it, I booked fliths and saved 12 hours of...

There certainly appear to be many more people with big bank accounts than hearts (except for cardiology departments in hospitals).

I agree and have no qualms about saying why this forum now sucks. In the old days it was clear who the trolls, jackasses and troublemakers were. The answer to them was simple either ignore them, edit their posts or quietly move them. Since this clown Sage & Onion joined, he tries to impose his p...

Disagree, Concord believes it is due to one moderator and one moderator only ! And where exactly did I say that? I, like everyone else have an opinion (good thing) - which I epressed and never said that it is due to one moderator only - I said he contributed and re-posted my earlier post (pretty on...

Nice Try Yorky. I suggest you ask directly to be a moderator. A bit lame but creative on your part

Maybe your buddy S&O can pull strings and get you to be a moderator. I'll send a PM to andy to that effect. Good luck I hope it works for you.

Your opinion counts, even if we all don't agree that Sage & Onion is doing such a terrible job, as you believe. I must be from another planet. What does doign a "terrible job" or a "great job mean"? So he posts lots of stuff and moves/deletes/ and comments on why he moved/de...

Congratulations Kueen!

The reason to have a UAE contract is for immigration/visa purposes. Note that the gratuity is based on the "salary" amount so that it is best for a company to lower your "salary" and increase your allowance as when you leave your gratuity is lower. What you are entitled to in the...

so as things stand, I would not be entitled to any gratuityif I leave at the end of my 12 month (UK) contract? In which case, should I get the UAE contract changed to fixed term (limited) as it is in the UK version? For unlimited contracts: If you leave after one year you get 7 days (1/3). If you g...

Does anyone here remember Dubai Forum. Remember how we said that We would meet again.... Some Sunny Day. Forum! Forum! What has become of you? Does anybody else in here Feel the way I do? ooooooohhh. (Thanks to Waters, Mason, Wright & Gilmore for the inspiration.) You can play it on Guitar too,...

Made it to Muscat by plane since driving would have not been possible (no insurance on the car). Anyways, am glad we went. We spent more time on the tarmac at Dubai airport than in the air. Flight time was about 50 minutes. We waited for some joker to show up for the flight and by the time they clos...

The lesson: read and understand everything before signing or ask for help (again, before signing).

France and Russia condemned the invasion of Iraq (as did many other countries). Perhaps the US is giving them the middle finger for their lack of support? And why not? Although that is not exactly what is taking place. At the end of the day you can't please everyone. The US can't do "right&quo...

Isn't this strange, I have said and will repeat, what is the use of post count??, Ian's apparent fixation on the issue is obvious after all I started the thread with post number 1, Ian so far has posted 5 times, now this is my 2nd one, who is trying to increase their post count?????? You should see...

We have all "heard" thru movies (Jurasic Parek, etc) , tapes, etc. what Dinosaurs sound like.

I was wondering: how does anyone know how Dinosaurs sounded being that they were extinct millions of years ago?

Hey Zoots, Looks like you got lucky, Ian doesn't seem to be interested in cricket anymore :lol: Ian’s interests aside a bet is a bet, Fayz I would be on the "quiet" if I were you. Someone still looking for cases and cases of shiraz on the "PSP" thread :wink: :wink: :wink:

Concord, From your posts you seem like a man who is keen on details especially contractual. The deal was a bottle for a package of PSP’s (singular) not for each but either way Mr. Gang made an offer, take out his youngins for a night out and we were even which I obliged. I’m not one to renege on an...

Yes, Concord, I certainly understand. If the US economy is going to be hard hit by big-time spending on war, they will of course try to recoup costs. It wouldn't make sense for them to award the contracts to benefit anti-war countries' economies. The annoying thing about all of this is that Iraq ha...

Dude, Not to be harsh but I will. Are you really 33 years old? On reading your questions it seems you have done absolutely no research on employment here or Dubai. A simple reading of the posts on this forum (Start from the announcements and stickies and work your way down) will provide you a wealth...

Back on.

check with zoots that it is "making up" not "making out".

At a minimum you will need a copy of the certification (CPA) and degree. Depending on where the degree is from you may need the original along with permission for the cerififying body and university/college to release information. So get a hold of the original degrees and certificates before you lan...

I don't want to be harsh as well but I will. Dude, Are you really 33 years old? Yes. (Ok, it's not harsh... yet) On reading your questions it seems you have done absolutely no research on employment here or Dubai.
