Of course their are some that would like the French to be excluded from the club

some??

you can also include most of America from what I read....

^^^did it again!^^^

That was quite considerate of the court! The poor couple must be scared out of their wits....Unlike the obnoxious Brit couple! The guy seemed pretty obnoxious to me from remarks he has been alleged to make to the press (although we all know how the press twists words anyway, or puts words into peop...

The good thing about the French is the Fries

amd the bad thing is the flies...

I don't think many are fond of the French. :lol: Well I understand that they would rather tourists just fly over France and throw their money out the window so that the French don't have to tolerate them on land. :D :D :D That was good! Actually it's almost automatic for Brits to say nasty things a...

I don't know, what is it with these people, rent a room for crying out loud!!!!!!!!!!! There's nothing more exciting than late at night on the beach. People tend to seek the thrills of excitement, in this case, public excitement without any viewers. These are good trial cases for Dubai courts. If t...

Good, I'm glad no-one's worried then :D Including Saint Robby who has decided not to make up his mind until after he has parted with his money, although he already said he wants to believe it's true :) Just kidding with you, do read it and report back to the DF Cynics' Society and the Nationals With...

^^^maybe doesn't know that Robby smokes domestic product too hehee^^^

FOR EXPATS WITH RESIDENT VISA AND NATIONALS - not for people who have not visited the U.A.E., already left, or those who don't have a current resident's visa. I want to know how we that live here feel about the U.A.E.. There's a lot of noise made by a few people about how bad this place is, some of ...

Robby's right, you'll pick up good gossip/info here, but as always on the internet ignore the extreme views in any topic (that could include mine!). You have to acclimatise to heat, your blood thins, it can take 3-4 years I am told. I was quicker but I love hot climates anyway. Many people sleep wit...

I promise I don't get paid by Herve just to show thorns or accept oil dollars from sheiks and colour a rosebed.

LOL, sounds good!

Sarcasm: Room rates are too high in Dubai and not all Hotels will allow you to bring in your girlfriend

Probably because you only paid for a single room !

thanks for the comments. I hope we get a lot more votes too. A bigger sample means a more accurate result

Being in prison, or have your passport confiscated in a case where money is involved, potentially carries an INDEFINITE prison term, possibly life in prison, because you cannot be released until you have paid your "alleged" debt. in addition if the person is not in jail but without his pa...

Happy to put my vote here.

Yep me too, I'm just really curious to see how it comes out. Can we make it sticky? I set it to run for seven days.

UAE is an experiance! Good or Bad that is each individual's choice to make! Happiness in Dubai definately depends on how thick ur wallet is! I've certainly had a good time in Dubai so far....I was born here, then came back for university, would like to leave UAE after graduatin, see other places, a...

This is a combination of translated googled/searched information and my own knowledge: The earliest simplification of chinese characters dates back to year of 1864, during the Taiping rebellion. The movement aimed to get more of the working class become civilized. Before that, I just consider there...

Good luck in your new country Kath. As others have said, this forum is an absolute godsend for UAE/Dubai info. Pretty much any question you could ask has already been answered. For everyone else, can I just ask an aside question and ask how last summer rated to the norm? I've only been here one sum...

Katie there are a lot of young teachers here and I can tell you they do have a good time as far as nightlife goes. My daughter has bumped into them in various clubs/bars (what happens in Rock Bottom, stays in Rock Bottom). I think you should make friends quickly and have a great time.

I suppose it's close enough but the clause, "You wish you had never come" does not apply to me. I've had good experiences here and I assume most people have had memorable times too. I had made another option between the bottom too but thought it made it too picky. I take your point though!

Apart from Awful, I could have selected any of the others... The other four choices really are all different in their way. OK is not the same as neither good nor bad. OK is a degree of OK-ness. Similarly the top one is certainly more than just OK. Like all polls you have to come off the fence and c...

Anyway, you throw confetti all day long. Now its my turn for once, Mr. Pinky...

He checked nothing, he threw it in a fit of French pique.

Is that pink as in champagne? I prefer just plain vintage please.

^^^is wanted for medical research^^^

Thanks for the information WhiteJade. It's interesting. A language with so many characers has to be interesting! Yes, spoken Chinese is a totally different matter, so many tonal dialects that don't understand each other. But considering the written word on Chinese mainland (Koreans and Taiwanese as...
