Why not just cut the pretence. Dubai and the Emirates advertise themselves as some kind of liberal wonderland in the Arab world where there are vast opportunities and a great exciting life can be found. Granted it's a mecca for some to earn big bucks in the scramble for cash but the reality of the p...

Barzie, It doesn't bother me that you seem to be a shallow Aussie who prefers not to think too deeply about things. That your world purely revolves around where you can get the most dollars and stuff to looking a little below the surface of a country where you live but what does irk me a little is t...

Christoffer, I know this might sound really weird to you but if you're looking for a girlfriend, why not try this really novel approach: Go out socially to some nice places, meet some nice people and then if you find someone you like ask them if they would like to go out on a date with you. It might...

A TV series has started running in England called Dubai Dreams and the first instalment was a real eye-opener. A good insight into a country is often how the Press is allowed to operate and this programme focused on the Press in Dubai. It followed one of the Gulf News photographers, interviewing oth...

Sadly I would have to say probably yes. Al Qaida and its supporters only hate one thing more than what they see as immoral, evil, decadent, Islam-hating western powers and that is Muslim countries they regard as being in bed with the enemy. Unfortunately these people would love nothing better than t...

Well, billionaire Mohamed Ali Alabbar, the chairman of Emaar "The world's largest real estate group" and the head of Dubai economic development, said on the TV series Dubair Dreams this week that Dubai was the new "New York" and whatever he said everyone (Arabs and expats alike) was sh#t-scared to c...

Just when is the UAE going to get its head out of the sand and admit that some blokes (and yes shock horror some Muslim men) are in fact gay and arresting and possibly prosecuting people who are that way inclined won't change things one little bit? Reading this in Emirates Today just served to remin...

Look on the bright side, at least they left you the car. But you're right, I can't see the thieving scum making their fortune on the black market with this one. Sometimes you think you'd like to be strolling back to the car when the scuzzballs had their hands inside. Summary justice can be quite eff...

Homophobia is alive and well.

Why not try a little bit of live and let live? Works wonders for peace and harmony. And no, I'm not gay, just someone who finds it difficult to understand narrow-minded bigots.

GoodBai

And so say all of us... well the sensible ones, anyway!

GoodBai

It's all right, the authorities have come up with a perfect solution to make sure it doesn't happen again and these men see the error of their ways and switch sides. Apparently the police say it was a mass gay wedding and the more than two dozen gay Arab men who were arrested may be injected with ma...

Very well put MaaaD.

It was the first time I had ever been accused of holding "sick views" and of "endangering the world" by advocating tolerance and understanding but some of the responses above certainly restored my faith... and made me laugh (XRW-147 and chocoholic)!

Before everyone gets too excited... just remember girls, these are the men with the odd shaped balls

What it all boils down to is gay people are not really welcome here and, if they do decide to move here, they would certainly be well advised to keep quiet about it and be extremely circumspect in what they do if they don't want an appointment with the shrink's chair, a dose of male hormone therapy ...

I think some people are being hyper-sensitive here. I'm from the UK and to be honest I think it's a healthy thing if people question the way things are done in your country... and, yes, take the piss, if it seems ridiculous. Often an outsider's view of your world and the way it does things can offer...

Let me guess, I think D-Unit's saying something like: "I say, my very dear friend, this is not that kind of forum so please may I respectfully and politely request that you desist in such posts.

I dunno, you innocently wander into a forum about Products and Services in Dubai and what do you bump into straight away?... The top two posts entitled Escort Girl and Vibrators (which incidentally had over 500 views at the last count, you naughty people!!!) Not what I expected at all on here. I tho...

"When you have the government placing cameras to watch your every move, incriminating any decent and honest people who expose a government for what it really is (Galloway, AlJazeera boming)...you can't be surprized with anything else that they do."

There was an article in The Independent recently in which a reporter took a short-break excursion from the UK to Dubai and sampled the shopping experience. Essentially she found all the shops she would have in the UK at prices generally around the same, with some electrical goods etc slightly cheape...

I reckon you'll have to lead one helluva "simple life" to make ends meet. You don't say what you do for a living but personally I would try to squeeze some more out of the tight gets. I don't think you'll be leaving this place with a nice little nest egg at that rate. And some of these employers nee...

Sometimes you really are reminded about the absurd side to life here and how the most harmless, innocuous and inconsequential things are seemingly big news here. Take the article in Emirates Today about three women sparking outrage in The Greens when - horror of horrors - they sunbathed topless!!! A...

The bit about the punishment was a joke.

Apparently there has been a stampede of shocked and outraged blokes to get their names down for a pad in The Greens

GoodBai

The fact is though that some women (but obviously not all) do seem to slip into the downtrodden, accept-any-bad-behaviour, subservient role when it comes to certain blokes. How many times does the girl fall for the "bad boy" and then hang on in there while letting him behave like the rat he really i...

Choco, I don't suppose you need me to remind you that old Georgie boy Clooney used to share his bed with a Vietnamese pot-bellied pig called Max and that he can be a real pig himself with the girls. But I dare say there would be a 10,000-mile queue of women just waiting to be used and abused should ...
