I think once he is in Dubai he can save on the mail/post charge and just go into the rattlesnake, or any of the other places frequented by Sage & Onion.

I don't think you needed to mention how many times he 'came'. 8) NOT FUNNY AT ALL. GROW UP, MATE. If the situation is that serious, you should be seeking proper counsel. If you're going to air it on the internet, expect to receive any and all sorts of comments. You're in a pickle my friend, best le...

No, not Sage & Onion, or Arniegang this time. I've been away from Dubai for the last 6 weeks except for 1-1/2 weeks. So It-isa-lot (aka Etisalat) disconnected my landline phone. I tried to log onto the internet to pay online but it would not allow me to go into the account. I called them and the...

Good luck.

For the second consecutive year Moscow has been ranked (based on a global survey) as the most expensive city in the world for expats

look here http://www.finfacts.ie/costofliving.htm

Just ask for $2M per year.

Good luck.

S, If you go to the Jumeirah Mall (A small mall which is just before the Jumeirah Mosque on same side as Mosque) on Beach Road, there is a music store upstairs. They have a book there with different names of people who offer lessons. You then call them up and make your own arrangements. The store ju...

Hi all, I am contemplating filing for an IN at DFM. Have some questions though: 1. How long does it take to get an IN? 2. Can I get the IN on Saturdays (my day off from work)? Or is filing for IN open only from Sunday through Thursday? 3. Emirates Islamic Financial Brokerage a. Is it any good? Has ...

Only because he ran out of time, anyone not "white" was next on his hitlist and that included Arabia. Wow, you even missed that :roll: Sorry, gave you more credit than I should have. Re-read gtmash's post and think about it before you respond with your xenophobic post... ps.. you blew it.

Yesterday I got 2 coins as change. One was the regular size 1 dirham coin and the other a larger coin (1 dirham). They were identical but one larger (25% larger). The larger coin was not new but doesn't have a date on it. I never saw the larger coins before. I guess they changed the size of the coin...

The peg will remain... [21-10-07 article from GulfNews]

Yeah I quite often get them in change from Choithrams. Try the 200 Dirham note on for size... if you get one of those. Half the people you show it to think it is fake. I think I have one of those. Funny thing is that it is old and taped together in the middle so it really looks fake. I also have a ...

I think I have one of those. Funny thing is that it is old and taped together in the middle so it really looks fake. I also have a couple of 10 fil coins. Small "copper" coins. You must be rich :lol: :lol: That's why I said "I think I have one of those". I don't now what I did w...

Crap,

I parked my car along SZR by the Shangrila Hotel and when I came out my driver side mirror was busted.

If it was you who did it send money!

Pisses me off!

Crap, I parked my car along SZR by the Shangrila Hotel and when I came out my driver side mirror was busted. If it was you who did it send money! Pisses me off! Which side was it, road side or kerb side? Tell me which one you knocked off and then I'll tell you! roadside. I thought Dr.D had more pos...

I never saw the larger coins before. I guess they changed the size of the coins at one point. Anybody know? hmm, 3000+ posts since Dec 05 is like 4+ post per day; not seen that coin?.. maybe u should get out more often.. : P Actually there isn't much of a need for coins except for parking meters. A...

I was at some airport and picked up a magazine (Popular Mechanics) and in addition to the article of interest (how to build a nuclear weapon in your attic), it had an article about 25 skills every man should know. I thought it was interesting (well the things they chose) and realized that there are ...

Here is my bit, 1. Patch a radiator hose Maybe but have never done it. 2. Protect your computer Not really! 3. Rescue a boater who has capsized. Not without drawning - based on what they explained in the article. 4. Frame a wall Yes. 5. Retouch digital photos Sounds like I should be able to but neve...

That's what I thought.

Anyway funny reply!

You living in the park now

I also have a couple of 10 fil coins. Small "copper" coins. If you think you'd throw them away someday, I'd be happy to get them as I collect coins (not hardcore collector, just coins/notes from the countries I ever lived in). Let me know. I'll look for them and you can have them. I'll ke...

Ok, I hooked up Slingbox at home (amazing stuff).... But now that I watch it in Dubai there a "situation". If I watch it and it is streaming at about 250 kbps there is no problem. Once in a while it goes down to 10 kbps and the there is a pause in the video. Actually sometimes the little w...

Want to test? Bring it over to my place and see what difference a 1 meg connection makes. If you're happy with the results, up your bandwidth. I suspect though you won't see too much benefit from the increased speed. Precisley (however that is spelled) the answer I was looking for. Do you live in D...

Ian is totally correct and i can only expand by one further point. The importance of an "upstream" @ a min of 250k is crucial for slingbox. Even here in the UK, even though we can download at lightening speeds up to 24meg, our "upload" speeds arn't that great. People automatical...

The smell gives me a headache too.

It looks like it will be a mess. Even if people wanted to just drive to the station, leave the car at the station and take a taxi or walk from the destination this cannot be done - which is done in many other cities. There is no space at most stations for car parking or for taxis to stand (well not ...

I just drove from Trade Center to past the Emirates Mall exit and there was security detail at each entrace to SZR (cop on motorcycle or patrol car) - at certain time they won't let anyone into SZR. There must be someone "important" in town.

scarlet wrote:As long as that's all he's holding.

You never know. Based on all his complaining he must have a bad case of "DSB".

Maybe because it is so darn hot in Dubai suop is not something that people order a lot - so no need to "perfect" it.
