Hi Everyone

Just wondering if there are many places out here to buy games for your PC.

Or am i best buying online?

Thanks!

Coops

Thanks!

Is there usually a pretty good selection? I mean is it difficult to find newly released games?

AJB, I work in recruitment, and while I always try and find my clients "reasonably priced" candidates at the end of the day the more money my candidate gets - the higher my fee from the company. Also to Kiwileigh I always encourage my clients to discuss salary before flying anyone out - it...

Actually I think the German reference was more to do with the guy in Germany that was convicted for Cannibalism not that long ago.

Hi

This will be my first Ramadan in Dubai - does anyone know roughly when it is due to fall this year?

Thanks

Coops

Sorry - withdraw the question....

Google Answers all.

For anyone else interested - this is what i found (please correct me if you think the info is wrong)

Dubai and Ramadan 2006
Ramadan 2006 is expected to begin on 24 September and last thru to 23 October.

Are most shops and stuff closed during the day - or is it pretty much business as usual just quieter?

Coops

Yeah i have heard there is lot's of food late in the night!

Sounds good.

Coops

Thanks for the confirmation!

Hi Everyone! Need to renew my visa very soon (fingers crossed the first and last time!) so was thinking of flying out of the country to Oman/Qatar/Bahrain then coming back. What is the best way to go about booking flights out here? Are there any good sites online where I can book flights or do I hav...

Coops

Missed your reply yesterday!

Thanks for the help.

Ok this question is for the ladies on here... Does anyone know where I can get a decent suit - one this is black or maybe brown. I don't want white, baby blue, light pink.... Been looking around for a few months now, and I am at the point where I think I am just not going to find one in Dubai. At ho...

Coops

Not a big fan of the clothes in Woolworths, but not tried Marks & Spencer or Bhs?

So will give them a go

Thanks for the sugestions!

Quick question, my husbands employer have said they prefer if he has an account with either ABN Amro or Mashreq Bank for his pay to go into.

Havent looked into various fee and charges yet, but on the service side of things does anyone have any good or bad stories about either?

Thanks
H

Coops

It this the bank as a whole? or just a particular branch you have been dealing with?

Who would you recommend? what is Mashreq like? Anyone dealt with them?

Coops

Thanks XRW - i know with Banks it can be hit or miss, and one bad rep can ruin the whole relationship for you! No internet banking - that is pretty average, any sign in the near future of this becoming available? We have done about 95% of our banking online for a long time now, will be a huge change...

Hi I am not a huge car person, pretty much if i dont think its ugly it will get a tick from me :D But i do realise there are other factors to consider when buying one. My husband is a Nissan man - so getting a nissan is top priority, we ideally want a 4x4, but i dont want anything big and chunky! Ha...

Coops

The Murano falls into my "too chunky" category and i think its ugly - but ignoring my hugely technical opinion...

What is it about it that makes you like it?

Coops

The Armada is not chunky its a city

I like the boxyness of the X, the murano reminds me of a jelly bean.

Anyone got any non appearance based opinions/ recommendations for Nissan 4x4s

Coops

Just wondering whether anyone can recommend any good places to get some glossy A4 Brouchres printed along with banners and other advertising type material.

Back home would probably go to Kinko's or somewhere similar - anything like that here?

Thanks
H

Coops

great thanks will give them a call

Hi Everyone, Quick question :?: - i am asking for my hubby so if what i say doesnt make sense please let me know. Ok we have a Canon Video camera - and have recorded onto a minitape. Now usually to get this onto a computer hubby connects the camera to the computer via a 1394 (?) port. Now our laptop...

Coops

Thanks, we were planning on heading over there - but the traffic at the moment getting in and out after work is crazy.

Dont want to make the trip if what we are looking for doesnt exist - so i thought i would check first.

Coops

hmm...well its a laptop....HP and it says its a compaq nx8220. I got the following from a google search - we havent changed anything since we bought it so i suppose these are the specifications?!: Intel Pentium M 755 (2.0 Ghz) 1024Mb Ram 80 Gb HDD 15.4 WXGA TFT (1280x800) 128Mb Dedicated Video RAM, ...

Coops

Nup it doesnt - those specs i copied off a random site just based on the type of laptop i have. I dont actually know what the port looks like - trying to get some info for hubby who only knows marginally more than me! :shock: If its connected via the USB the image size or something is smaller? not t...

Coops

What does the port look like? I am only assuming we dont have it because hubby said we didnt.

Would be good to go home and show him that it was there all along!

Checking out the HP site now to see if it gives me any clues.

Coops

We have the port - its right there i just didnt know what to look for. Hubby has the cable, as he used to use it with our desktop at home....hmmm....not sure how he missed the port. Going to call him now and tell him he is an idiot! Thanks for your help! Even though i feel really stupid at the momen...

Coops

Ok i'm back with another question (hopefully i dont make myself look like an idiot again!). We wanted to send a birthday message movie to my father in law - BUT his birthday is on Saturday so we have left it too late to send a DVD via the mail! The file is too big to email to my brother inlaw to dow...

Coops

Ended up using a wesite www.filecrunch.com took about 30mins to upload but seemed to work ok - and he can actually download the file so that he can burn it to a disk.

Thanks for the other options!

Coops

Thanks! though thankfully it is my hubbys dad (scary thought if he was my dad!)
