For the cost of a fast food meal you can make a healthy meal. It just takes effort and thought. It's not as if fast food has all the nutrients one should consume. Fast food is basically about oil (fat) and starch (potatoes and bread) and sugar (soda). It's about pigging out on the wrong food. There...

As far as I am aware there is no requirement in Islam for women to wear Abaya's. I believe (please correct me if I am wrong) that women should show modesty and not flaunt their bodies but there is no requirement for headscraves, covering of the face or of the total body in that manner. This more cul...

Viking brings up an important point namely that DW and associated gov entities (Dubai Holdings, Dubai Group, etc) employed individuals that lost far more money like Mr Jackson which makes Herve's loss from the sub business seem almost neglible. We are not even talking about expats they hired - there...

From reading old posts it seems that there is some favoritism on the part of the mods and potentially unfairness on how they deal with certain individuals, etc. Ultimately if I felt I was treated in an unfair way I would simply leave DF but I tip my hat to those that stuck around - you are more tole...

I personally think the whole process is corrupt but don't really care as I am sure Russia will host a good world cup and I think its good that they finally gave it to a middle east country regardless of its climate and size. Off topic - I just hope that they introduce some technology in the next wor...

Congrats. Debt can kill your spirit and ambition - glad you saw it through.

Hi - can anyone recommend a good company that can polish my marble floors - I have already tried/called Marble Life and Modern Cleaning - would not mind getting a quotation from others as the charges seem high. Thanks.

JoeTGF

Bora - If what you say is correct (that lawyers are working on a % basis) than that goes a long way to showing that Herve is in the right. However I just question whether there are really astronomical costs involved with filing a case? From my personal experience its not cheap but the real costs are...

JoeTGF

I. for one, hope you stick around Joe. You seem like the voice of reason in the crazy, mixed up world of DF. it's a shame that people can't accept that others have a differing opinion without claiming they are 'whining'. Thanks BM - thats very kind of you :D. Hopefully I won't offend anyone importa...

JoeTGF

Fair enough Bora. I only meant that costs were less at the beginning. But I understand that lawyers have no trouble charging for every sec/min of time. They didn't earn a rep of being bloodsuckers for nothing - no offence meant.

Looks beautiful BM. I do miss the seasons in Dubai.

JoeTGF

@BM - What gave you the idea that I didn't follow footie? I lived in england long enough to consider myself at least part british even though I wasn't brought up there. :D While I don't support Mancherster "Citeh" I do support....I hope this doesn't to any animosity....Tottenham..."co...

JoeTGF

Not sure where the juice discussion is going...

BM - this might convince you - Zidane is muslim!!!

I am going to ignore the fact that he is non-practising and married a christian.

JoeTGF

I don't think you are a white supremist BM. I think sometimes your tongue in cheek humour is not understood and than its followed by people telling/asking you not to be racist. I have friends of all nationalitis, creeds, religions, sexual preferences, etc - as I am pretty sure you do. Some people in...

JoeTGF

I don't think you are a white supremist BM I dunno how you can say that about someone who votes and supports an organisation like the BNP, unless ofcourse you do the same. Thats what I am saying DDS - I don't think BM supports the BNP - I read that remark as a tongue in cheek joke. I think Shaf ask...

JoeTGF

OK DDS - will let BM respond - I have not followed the thread as closely as you have but that was my read.

JoeTGF

Every man and his dog has been screaming for months that the residency laws of the UAE need to be more favourable for Dubai to stage a recovery. It is one of the easiest things to change and yet the advice is being ignored. Kid, please have a word to Sheikh Khalifa for us before it is too late. Ful...

JoeTGF

@Shaf - completely off topic - glad you are enjoying shameless - it gets better and better and a lot naughtier

JoeTGF

@BM - even more off topic - spurs in last 16 and top of group - can't believe redknapp is managing so well - never thought he was up to it

JoeTGF

DDS - I don't love it or hate it but do what you want - conformity stinks

JoeTGF

Yeah I hate the posters as well. I don't particularly like the national day idiots that make the roads more hazardous than normal but the posters are completey uneeded and only serve to give an insight to how much they love themselves. Its not just the huge ones on SZR but every hotel, shop, etc. Wh...

JoeTGF

Even more off topic, I rather like Redknapp's son. Jamie could leave his slippers under BM's bed any night :D Well done Spurs. I worry for Newcastle's future with that fat fu&&er at the helm :( You know I think I am getting to know you a little better BM - as I was typing about spurs succes...

JoeTGF

I guess it takes one to know one.

JoeTGF

I might be mistaken but I think that the Hatta run is still fine as those are classed as tourist visa's. The visit visa where you have to spend 1 month out of the country before coming back is for the ones that need to be applied for before coming to the UAE - ie for pakistan, phillipines, etc. The ...

JoeTGF

Well before they go about a price hike, why don't they educate people about being more energy efficient. Like not having malls/eateries etc Arctic, if they knocked the ac's all down a bit, that in itself would save a tonne of cash. Telling people not to water their driveways - use a broom! Also per...

She is a complete moron but that seems to have been a requirement for office in the US in the past....any maybe future.

Hi All Would like some help please. One of my friends who is new to business (setup about 6 months back) in Dubai thinks that he has a particular person stealing from him. His business is cash orientated and it looks like the guy has been creaming off the top for the last 2 months. He wants to get t...

BM - credit where its due - your stories and responses are always amusing and a good read. I don't know what your profession is but have you ever considered writing? You definitely have a knack for putting a wierd and wonderful perspective on some of the most straightforward/ordinary things in life.
