I am moving to Dubai in exactly 8 weeks and 2 days and this board is proving to be a valuable source of good information. I too need to get my driving license and would welcome PMs from anyone with names/numbers of a good instructor. What is the approx cost of a lesson?

cheers, initially I think we are gonna have to take a services room in a villa or something, got a couple of options lined up in Jumeirah but want to get an apartment on the SZR within a month of being there.

Cheers for the tips.

any other members here working in a software sales environment? I've just handed my notice in at WebEx to move to Dubai in 8 weeks. I've been offered a few positions already but in recruitment and would rather avoid that field if there was an opp with a software company. Is AED15k a reasonable basic...

anyone who paid up front to an agency to find them a job obviously does not deserve to ever gain employment again for being so lazy and completely stupid.

my prayers have been answered.

the coach of the team I follow has been sacked as he is totally incompetent.

I was there for dinner a few months ago and they let us take photos once most of the other diners had left.

absolute bollox Yorky. Yes, a lot of injured players but that was no excuse for the £8m he spent on a defender who couldn't defend against a team of 5 year olds, the £10m he spent on Luque who has proved not to be very Luque, the fact he signed a waster like Babayaro and the fact he still had a team...

I'll be playing golf as often as possible when I get out there.

I know theres another forum regarding accommodation but a little bit of feedback would be appreciated. We're thinking of taking serviced rooms in Jumeirah for the first month or two we're out there until we find an apartment on SZR. How much is a taxi from Jumeirah to main business centers? Is it a ...

Dutchtoon

not sure yet, the ad just said Jumeirah, will investigate and get back.

merci GAB.

I would blame Freddy Sherpherd for appointing the useless get in the first place. Where ever he has gone fans have always been delighted when Souness finally departed. If the Toon could get him Martin O'Neill would be a great choice. Souness will probably be waved on his way with a million or two i...

cheers, closer to SZR the better. Working probably in one of the citibank towers (oud metha) I aint dutch btw, from Newcastle, hence the toon, have a scottish accent (which I've never forgiven my parents for) and been living in Amsterdam for the last 5 years. Dutchtoon is my moniker on skunkers.net ...

most certainly Duam!! I arrive on March 31st but I believe its quite pricey to play out there. I was brought out at the end of last August to DJ a gig in the Emirates Towers and stayed a week and got 5 holes in at one course (cant remember the name) before it got toooooo hot. I didn't pay but I unde...

Dutchtoon

when do you get out there? I'm no Tiger Woods though, been playinng off about 28 this summer.

Dutchtoon

I was there for a week at the end of last August and it was extremely hot, humid and uncomfortable. That did not stop me playing golf, going jet-skiing and goign to the pub almost every night.

Dutchtoon

very good!

Dutchtoon

excellent news, I hope we are as successful in a few weeks. Did you use an agency?

Skype is the leader in this field. I've been using it for over 2 years and its cut my phone bills by about 80%.

did it in Brazil a few weeks ago, what a buzz!

I was speaking to someone this morning who told me of a terrorist attack in Dubai early last year. I cant find any record of this. Can anyone tell me if and when there has been any terrorist attacks in Dubai?

Dutchtoon

thanks, just more uninformed people who think DUbai is still part of the 3rd world.

Dutchtoon

dont be so sensitive. It was not meant as an insult.

Dutchtoon

shortly after we arrive we have been invited to a traditional Persian wedding at a fort (don't know the name yet) just outside Dubai. Can anyone give any advice on what to expect? Customs? Food? Dress?

Dutchtoon

Luckily (or maybe unluckily) my friend is doing the PR for that gig and has secured 100 tickets as part of his payment. I can't stand the guys music but my girlfriend is extremely excited about it.
