A woman was very distraught at the fact that she had not had a date or any se.x in quite some time. She was afraid she might have something wrong with her, so she decided to seek the medical expertise of a se.x therapist. Her doctor recommended that she see the well known Chinese se.x therapist, Dr....

Hi my husband is in the throws of interviews, offers pending etc for a move to Dubai - hopefully in the next few months. Although its fantastic news for us, we just found out that I am pregnant, due in October. As this has been a bit of a surprise, we don't want it to upset our plans to travel and ...

I've done plenty of "selve serve" myself. I remember the first time I did it, I had to ask whether it was allowed (in some places like New Jersey in the USA you, as a driver, are prohibited from pumping your own gas). My objection is that it will take away jobs from people who really need ...

Hmmm was just thinking recently after visiting quite a few friends in their apartments/villas, that professional adults here are being forced to live like students because no-one can afford a place of their own. It's all a bit rubbish really isn't it?! I mean if you're sharing with 2, 3 or 4 other ...

Once again with the writing, as I do some freelance writing here, but very few people are able to. All have regular jobs and do it on the side, or are employed by the publishing houses. You could try contacting Motivate Publishing, ITP or Gulf News and ask how they deal with freelancers. Be careful...

I agree with burken, Currently i was residing in Southeast Asia, just recently I was being offered a job in a well establish company in Dubai offering 6000 dirham for my basic pay and 4000 dirham for my accomodation. Do you think that the offer is very low? I have been reading a lot in this forum a...

Yeah its Holy Thrusday - Happy Easter!

Hey all! I have been offered a job with the construction company Carillion as a graduate civil engineer based in the UK. The company is also located in Dubai (Al futtaim carillion) but seem slightly reluctant to send me there for a year or so until I have gained more site experience. Trouble is, I ...

I just attended a funeral (person is still dead) and was wondering: What do they do at funerals in other religions countries/locales? Here is the "tradition" where this christian funeral was; The body is placed in an open casket and can be viewed for a day or more. Visiting hours are 2 hou...

Its a toss up chocs. I'm one of those people you mention (well you know that anyway!) and I often consider the getting an apartment to myself dilemma. but then i will have to pay double the amount in rent, plus all the extra bills so it would cost me an extra 6,000 a month to have my own place - no...

I always wondered about this. Placing the body in an open casket is that a Catholic tradition? I am coming from a Protestant background and funerals are never with a open casket.

So what do they do at protestant funerals?

No it means Rigid Corpse

Why would the MOD(S) move my scuba diving thread to Expat help? How the hell is it more relevant there than in general? I am looking for people that are here already, not "moving to Dubai or just moved recently and have questions?" I think asking about diving is as general as any "sk...

This thread reminds me of a guy once upon a time looking for plastic scouring pads (or PSP's as they became to be know).

Try orange juice...easier.

So what do they do at protestant funerals? Okay, just attended one :( The body is kept at home. On the day of the funeral the body is placed in a casket and transported to the burial site. The reverent speaks, some people speak about the life of the person and then the casket goes into to ground. O...

Those fckers can smoke!!!! Although there is a law that people can't smoke in offices and other public places every elevator, bathroom or hallway is filled with smoke! I went to this restaurant/bar in Bucharest where the "non smoking" section was 2 tables with 2 chairs each separated from ...

This is inclusive of accommodation, fuel and car allowance etc. Plus they have offered annual return tickets for my wife and myself and medical insurance. A...

Happy Easter.

I am working today... but will find it slow going as I didn't get much sleep last night due to rib problems. The problem being it's either broken or the cartlidge is severely disturbed. Wish they sold Panadeine here, I would have slept like a baby. Instead I'll be Mr. Cranky Pants in the office whe...

Here is my question: I have set up a second slingbox (different tv viewing choices at home) but during the set up I got some message that stated something like "this IP ### #### ### ### is already being used for one device chose another". I simply changed the last 3 digits randomly and it ...

The period of mourning for family and relatives is 13-15 days, where they will not attend any ceremonies, festivals etc. Usually, marriage ceremonies in the family are also not conducted for an year. How close, family wise, must the decease be in orde for the marriage to be postponed? In large fami...

Hey Concs...are both your boxes at the same place? I am assuming UK? Changing the last 3 digits sounds a little much(usually only 1) should work. If you can set up a static IP for each device, that would be best. Usually they are just sequential, like 192.168.0.1, 192.168.0.2, etc. No two devices c...

Go to Latino House. Both ambiance and wont disappoint.

I got the "hammer" with me. They did stop me at customs but I explained it away (big balls, no problem)!

Stop by the weekend...

I just saw an article yesterday about the UAE starting its nuclear program and today a mushroom cloud! Coincidence...
