Oops, sorry. Not "another". Please omit the word "another" in my post. Thanks.

Gene

You are simply amazing, dbx! Sorry for the grey matter work-out. I think you have took me as far as I could have possibly gone on this matter and for that, I thank you. Looks like I'm not completely out of the woods yet - my fate shall lie in the following clause in Article 2, "The provisions o...

German Pope Benedict XVI has offended Muslim in a speech this week where he implicitly linked Islam and violence, particularly with reference to jihad or "holy war". He also quoted a 14th-century Byzantine emperor who said innovations introduced by the Prophet Mohammed were "evil and ...

Ya, I agree the best reaction to such news is simply to ignore it as it has no importance to our lives. It does us no favours or good at all. In my humble opinion, I feel the muslim should not be overly angered by the remark (coz there isn't one teeny weeny bit of truth in it at all), and the Pope s...

Check out this short documentary on Dubai;

...most of which talks about Dubai as being the flesh trade capital of the Middle East. Time for some investigative work of your own??

I don't think there's any problems watching it from Dubai (yet I think). Gosh, I really hope they don't block Yahoo Video as well like what they did to YouTube. That really killed it for me man... You simply need to click on the link and wait a little while (30 sec?) for the video to load automatica...

Thank heavens for the great news!

It's like the windows have opened to let in the light. Now I can see further & dream braver.

Many of my bachelor friends ain't complaining, neither are my married friends. Some frequent the place often while others adopted the 'hear no evil, see no evil' attitude and carry on with their lives. The most important thing is that Dubai gives everyone here a choice without ever allowing it to ge...

I finished watching all the seasons' episodes on DVD a few years back. It was quite fun I remembered - but definitely not worth watching again though.

For the purpose of calculating salary, can someone kindly advise if the salary payable to a monthly-rated employee for an incomplete month of work is calculated using the formula below: Salary payable for incomplete month of work = (Monthly gross rate of pay)/(Total number of working days in that mo...

All rite, thanks guys!

Great stuff. What a year it has been!

With the start of the Dubai Sale (whether they're usually marketing ploy or gimmick etc.), any suggestion of a particular store or fashion boutique where you had spotted exceptionally good discounts for the coming holiday season would be most welcome.

Tis the season for sharing...

Are all the money changers the same or do some give slightly better rates than others?

If so, where are the most attractive outlets?

Cheers...and happy new year to all...

Here's a difficult question to all of you rock music fans out there. As you may already be aware that these 2 rock icons would be performing here in Dubai next month, my question is if you have to choose between the 2 gigs due to budget constraints (I'm already flat broke after purchasing all their ...

Can anyone show me where I can find badminton being played in Dubai?

A million thanks!

Hi Guys, My friend from Singapore wishes to have his driving license converted to the Dubai driving license without the need to go for the driving test. However, he is blind in the right eye and I understand there would be an eye test during the conversion at the centre. Will RTA allow him to have h...

Hello fellows,

We are planning a Xmas party and someone has volunteered to be Santa. Does anyone here knows where we can rent a set of the costume in Dubai? Are there any party or halloween stores here in the Gulf?

Any help greatly appreciated folks!

At its outside core region, they are around Dhs 4,000 - 5,000 and inside core region is Dhs 7,500 upwards. By comparison to other satellite cities like Hong Kong, ...

With the current turmoil in the world economy, I am thinking of putting all my money in a term deposit for 1 or 2 years. So the question is : what's the best interest rate for term deposit currently offered by the banks in Dubai? I hear HSBC Bank is offering very attractive interest rates - their eS...

Gene

Hey guys, Thanks for all your input so far. 5% in sterling seems attractive but I think the pound may weaken against the dirham next year. 3+% at DIB is also very attractive and I will definitely check it out. I prefer to stick with AED so as to save the hassle of conversion (+ commission etc.) to o...

Gene

people need to also remember that over the next 5 years the demand/supply ratio will change in favour to over supply, this compounds the losses in sales and the bigger reductions in rent. Just out of curiosity, how much do you think the property market in Dubai will fall? 10%? 30%? Or 50%? We are t...

These are official figures from the Ministry and it records the actual population growth in Dubai as well as UAE over the years. I don't see any reason for distortion or intent to mislead. In fact, I am not surprised with the figures as they co-relate somewhat to the ever increasing number of cars s...
