Easiest solution... People have found a taxi driver that they have felt they can trust. Then took the drivers mobile number and used him whenever they need transport. I have heard stories of people using the same taxi driver for years, for school runs etc and of course the taxi driver is glad of th...

Really?

Nothing happened.

Either just a glitch or a desperate attempt to make this thing "popular" and well attended

I think all the movies on the lists are very good except "Lost In Translation" I thought it was crap!

I've got another one of those "only in dubai" stories in connection with the car rental/salik stuff. I tell my car company to send me the "application" for the deposit account by e-mail so that there is no problem later that I did not choose the option (and so they will charge me...

Fine Dining perhaps, Wine? Well... didn't you know... that's illegal and the authorities will hunt you down, lock you up, and then deport you back to your own country... even if you're a local. :shock: Deportation.

hi there, just one point. you cannot have two applications for the same person in the immigration system at the same time. you need to make a decision one or the other. i'd opt for the residency visa - to save you time and money, and that is your final objective in anycase. I'm confused (not a rare...

Next stop plastic surgery so they'll look like this soon:

Cats can survive longer than Dogs ("smarter" that way). If I am not mistaken there is a group at the Springs that started a kind of shelter or something there (not feline friends). Kanelli (who used to be on the forum) was involved with it I thought. Check at the Spinney's bulleting board ...
