Mildly funny but won't be bothered to see it again. Only partially funnier than Cheaper by the Dozen 2, which was a tad

Arnie- they should charge all entry by height-NOT-that would mean my family is at a distinct disadvantage! We would be paying through the nose!! It is a bit like when we first arrived my daughter 11 wanted to join her siblings in the ball crawl/ fun maze - sorry too tall.....but maids were in there ...

GAB

Absolutely brilliant!!

GAB

I agree that height and weight should not determine price. Also it would be interesting to note-how many rides was he excluded from for being too short?? It wouldn't surprise me if he was!! (Also though safety is a problem here it does not follow logic. Arnie she was literally 5mm over the line-all ...

GAB

Best advice I can give richmc is that you get your pre-tax Aussie salary here -since your accom. and car is paid that should more than cover you. We have a big family so our expenses(me, being the greatest expense but well worth the expenditure :lol: ) would far out weigh yours I assume so I wouldn'...

GAB

120K per annum housing allowance

for a single bloke!! That is beyond our family allowance!!

GAB

Wanna get married?

GAB

Our kids like it here and we arrived right in the worst weather-you won't like this heat here. I am well used to extremely high temps, but dry heat and I have lived in humidity eg tropical countries but both together is no bonus!! :lol: In June, July, August, September you take advantage of swimming...

GAB

XRW-147 "pain and suffering"-Oh, that is just mean!!

Arnie- you promished no more teashing!

GAB

I thoroughly agree with Liban on this one. The key word is abstinence.

GAB

Oh, Arnie you know me I wash jush taking the pith !!

I love how nobody attacked the old lady!!

A contentious subject. I'd like to know Diana's views on the subject.

GAB

You should be working!!

GAB

Stuffing Bears at the Bear Factory. I mean seriously there is a heap of things to do. At the beach you can swim, kite surf, snorkel, build a sand castle have a bbq/picnic, go on a quad bike, jet ski. You can learn Arabic, go for a ride on an abra, get lost in your car driving, go to a different Emir...

Yeah- it is better than some other places from several points. You have great weather some parts of the year and you can enjoy an outdoor lifestyle. It is a safe and relatively clean place to live. You can enjoy a relaxed or I guess toffy/upmarket lifestyle-there is an abundance of choice here- choi...

GAB

a strappy low-necked midrif top paired with a mini-skirt is a pretty tarty combination

I'll just go and get changed then!

GAB

Sounds orange-go black!!

GAB

I think all men like their partners to look "nice" and vice-versa. You're lucky to have curves and assets....I think I've got a few liabilities now!!

GAB

The part of Liban will be played by........XRW-147!! :lol: :lol: Personally I think you should expect less of the expat perks-by all means ask for them, but don't expect them. This place has a low COLA and lets face it, it is hardly "hardship" nor "developing" :roll: :roll: :roll: You NEED medical i...

GAB

Oh, just re-read-you have full medical (I'd check out who and what it is personally) so you should be right.

GAB

Hi- not long just about 8 months. The summer is bad but it goes and it is a matter of reorganising what you do during that time-some people leave for the summer especially when they have kids however there are things you can do here-of course going to the pictures is one thing-air-con is always full...

GAB

Black.....

Oh well, enjoy your new car!!

GAB

Nice to have puddles!! The drains here work really well!!

GAB

Liban is right-international calls are expensive.

GAB

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Driving here should be listed as an activity or a sport- I saw a motorbike go down Sheikh Zayed Road on one wheel the other night-beat the quad bike I saw a week before speeding along! :lol: "Driving in Dubai" would be an excellent documentary. :lol: What yo...

GAB

Kanelli is right and also by the same publishing company are the books "Family Explorer" and the "Off Road Explorer". They also do a street map book which I am sorry to say is cr@p but then again when all side streets are numbered like"street 8a" it doesn't help. The Dubai Explorer is available at a...

GAB

I am glad it happened to you!! I was going to wash my car yesterday....I am soooooo happy I didn't!!

GAB

HP is confused.

GAB

Yeah, I realise there is a pattern but if someone says I live at Street 8a Umm Sequiem you can't actually look it up!! And don't get me started on landmarks - they are friggin stupid landmarks with stupid names!! Turn at the Habitat building??? WTF??? It used to be Habitat (like 5 years ago??) but n...

GAB

Some news just gives you that warm fuzzy feeling!!
