Maybe I'm not that old!!

GAB

I think, it is a matter of proving your innocence!! If memory serves me correctly he was in jail between 1 to 3 days. I think that is the deal here with things-you are jailed until it is sorted.

GAB

If you want to spend 72K per annum, hook up with 2 mates and get a villa and a better lifestyle by the beach-have friends who have done this in the last couple of months in the UmmSequiem/Jumeirah area and found a nice place for just over 100k, 3 bedroom villa with garden-that works out pretty well....

GAB

Four bedroom-I'd say no. Three bedroom yes. Look around Umm Sequiem and Jumeirah-behind Al Wasl Road down to Jumeirah Beach Road, also Al Badaa area (? however you spell it). You'd be looking at a three bedroom villa with a small garden, sep lounge and sep dining room-it may come with or without mai...

GAB

Just one thing-you can not swing a cat in some of the new developments-rooms are small and if you see the showrooms check out the size of the beds and how much furniture is actually in those rooms

Artistic and creative placement of furniture and lack thereof!!

GAB

Don't get your knickers in a knot. Any half-wit can produce stats (which by the way you will know are skewed and ultimately flawed depending on the sample size and overall population-don't remind me of this when I use stats to back up one of my opinions!! :lol: ) by doing a google search-I'll produc...

GAB

Basically your stats on false reports are only using the sample space of reports. Non-reporting would have to take the entire population (an impossible sample space unless you do a census) to be accurate, so using a small sample space for non-reported rapes concluded that approx X% (kanelli stated 8...

GAB

Oh, X that is a stroppy reply!! :lol: I'd say yes. The 11 000 per month I assume is to cover accom.rental, car, electricity etc. I'd start searching on accommodation in the area you want to live in-considering there are just the two of you it sounds good. Check out the med. policy tho' and see what ...

GAB

We don't get car or flights (should have married X!! :cry: ) but having said that rent will take a HUUUUUUUUGE chunk out of your salary. In hot weather too, I wouldn't walk out the front gate for more than 10 seconds- this time of the year I'll walk 20 to 30 minutes but in June/July/ August/Septembe...

GAB

Have to agree-it is a no-brainer! Crossing the road in the first place indicates that someone is about five beers short of a six pack.

GAB

For a list of hospitals go to the on-line yellow pages
www.yellowpages.ae
This will at least give you addresses, phone numbers etc.

GAB

Also, the questions like "I get XXX amount of money, is this good/enough?" are retarded

Who got out of the wrong side of bed this morning??

GAB

Actually terranova, dbxsoul (either search under my name or his in reference to that-I asked quite a few Q's some really stupid ones but he gave me great answers!! :lol: ) gave some good insight into apartments before we came-we ended up leaving separately (husband came and found a house and fitted ...

GAB

Hi Nav. Are these schools in Dubai or Sharjah? Just a query as there is an Australian International School in Sharjah that also has a bus service from parts of Dubai. I can really only recommend you look at http://www.expatwoman.com for schools because like the site suggests it has a lot of "mummies...

GAB

I think you missed the point-there are height restrictions, yes, but to charge according to height is daft-age yes, height no!

GAB

P.S. Another peeve are those people on bicycles travelling in the opposite direction on the road!! Oh yeah!! It isn't just me it absolutely pees off!! Especially when I am about to exit the service road to go on to the main road and I've got to watch for the moronic twit cycling in front of me goin...

GAB

But honey that doesn't leave enough for trips to the spa and nail bar!

GAB

http://www.dubaiforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=4582 Try this-I should really update it or add to it. XRW-147 is just worn out from answering the inundation of similar questions in the last few days. He really is very nice!! :D I understand where he is coming from. To put it bluntly this is a p#ss easy p...

GAB

Obviously you agree it's odd.

GAB

It depends though on what you can cope with. Expectations vary- mine have changed dramatically with kids. I totaly agree with you terranova, but some people go "troppo" if they can't find the SAME brand of margarine they are used to!! :shock: :lol: It is hard to give advice unless you really know so...

GAB

Seriously terranova it would be a good idea for you to tell this guy what your approx. monthly costs are-this would give him an idea of where he stands (yes, I've seen your post-a wee bit more detail needed). I mean our elec bill has hit the AED2000 mark in the summer (per month)...yeah, yeah, I kno...

GAB

Lived in tropical countries-this is better because the heat plus humidity isn't all year round-at the moment it is pleasant. Having said that the summer is horrendous with high humidity and temps in the 40 to 50 range :shock: . But the upside is Dubai has catered for this with air conditioned malls ...

GAB

Your intelligence level must be at an all time low.

GAB

Only if I slipped and fell and cracked my head.

GAB

You must have psychic powers. Hail ye O, Sniper! Ye are so wise!!

GAB

Reading this was a tiny source of amusement. Funny X!!

GAB

just wants to stir the pot

I'd say Kanelli that you've hit the nail on the head.

GAB

Well, hard to say if you are being screwed. I'll pm you a list of schools and on their websites you can look up vacancies and see what is on offer. I know spouses get paid between AED 6 000 to AED14 000 per annum teaching primary school (and nursery assistants get AED3000 up unqualified!! :shock: an...

GAB

Oh, Kanelli-it'sh jush not funny!!

GAB

THe 4C's- cut, clarity, colour and no, not cost but carat weight. In my opinion, briefly colour ( unless you want a "fancy" diamond) wise go for colourless which are DEF (D being the best hence a Z is not good), for clarity look for something vvs2 up. Diamonds should come in a special container with...
