"Most of the emirate’s banks are not affiliated with British financial institutions, so those who flee do not have to worry about creditors" Is that really true? Wouldn't they (or a collection agency) be able to track you down in the UK, then sue you or something? It's not like you're run...

In praise of the Netherlands:

A Dutchie was riding his bike
on the bank of a beauteous dyke.
He rubbed at his chin
and said with a grin:
'A smoke and a pancake, I'd like!"

uaekid was horny as hell
barmaid's apron he'd started to smell
but 'cause he's a beginner
she won't let him in her
so he tried with a camel and fell.

There once was a man from Siberia
with a terrible case of Diptheria.
For the love of God, Shrek,
wrap a scarf round your neck,
'cause the whole forum's running in fear o'ya!

The kid is now starting to fret,
dirty water he's not let loose yet.
He just cannot stand
one more time with the hand,
so pokes holes in the sand while it's wet.

Come off it Robby ! The Dutch bled the Dutch East Indies , too ! They did not go there for their health ,or to make the local Indonesians rich !!!! So cut out the "holier than thou" rubbish. The Dutch were colonialists after valuable spices from the East. Dutch, Spanish, German, Portugese...

sorry, the spelling is noblesse. I was just re-reading my post, marvelling at its grace and power.

RedKite calls RobbyG Belgian, and gets called Amish in return....LOL

You two are killing me! Wil. Shakespeare, Baudelaire, Virgil and the rest are probably feeling pretty sick too....

If the expats ran away from their depts, leaving their work, who replaced them? :lol: :lol: :lol: a slight misinterpretation/ lack of understanding?? They did not run away...did not leave their jobs :arrow: they were sacked :!: ergo no need for replacement! :lol: Clear now? :wink: well if some work...

Hi there, no good time to come to Dubai you recon? Job market isnt better there than it is outside? If the expats ran away from their depts, leaving their work, who replaced them? Stuck in Sweden seeing the market fall here, thinking of coming to Dubai...but perhaps that is just no better... give m...

thanks for the swift reply Robby. I am working within Finance, company called GE.. I really think that I would be outnumbered by all well educated people in Dubai that seeks a job right now...but cant blame a girl for wanting the taste of it too! I thinking of taking the MBA, and as well try to fin...

@Speedhump in theory that might be the case, practically no none of those useless will go because they face a cut... they just stay and bite the bullet.... most of them are ex alcohol addicted homeless in UK....not 'working' in DXB means they are nothing... so better they bite the bullet and keep t...

I wouldn't really pay attention to anyone that has such a crass and mysoginistic avatar and uses as many smileys as words.

would you say it is worse in Dubai with lay offs, than it is in Europe currently? Europe just started.... That's hard to say, because it only hit here a short while back. It hit banking, construction and real estate quickly and badly, but it's still filtering down the line. The world is going to hu...

skin color is indeed a factor still, very sadly. But tell me, is it in all working sector that the unemployment started, or mostly in the industrial and real estate? Read my post just now that crossed with yours. Finance also is getting tough, banks and finance companies are making it much harder f...

by the way where will all people go, if they do not have any social well fare.... that is the scary part for sure... UAE government does not help any of them, they just have to return home? wonder where the best place is to be right now... no help for anyone here, make sure you keep the price of a ...

I'm in oil trading, but I don't know much about finance/accountancy LOL. Also I know nothing about insurance against earnings loss or savings loss as I never tried it. AXA is a big insurance company here and pretty trustworthy, you could try them. An awful lot of accountants here are Indian, I think...

yes, if you're male you may even be preferred, as there aren't as many males on the crews. I think I was wrong about the Emiratisation thing also. They are trying it for sure, but I think not in their cabin crews, as they boast so much about the multinationality of the crews (which is true and it's ...

There seem more consultants here by the day, all spouting rubbish. House rents won't fall, construction will pick up next week, and so on, mouthpieces of interested parties trying to create spin. Here's one in Arabianbusiness.com. At least he hits the two main points: banking services in this countr...

Britain did hand over power to national parties peacefully. the nationalist movements had existed for long beforehand in India and Egypt (the two main countries you are considering concerning the UK I imagine). The main reason for getting out was the financial burden which Empire imposed, and which ...

postscript: Britain was a disillusioned nation after the second war, the free world had triumphed but the UK was absolutely bankrupt, and this for a nation that never gave up her independence! Some food rationing was still in force 10 years later. The 1950's were very austere years. I think, as I sa...

Also, once you are married, can you still LOVE your husband/wife and children, care for them, support them, and still think you have love to give (even s.e.x) outside of marriage? Are people capable of loving more than one person? The answer to the above questions is of course YES for many people. T...

agreed, it's great and refreshing daisy, and yes, for over 40's as well as under, sure...but be careful about the 'public' bit, we are in the UAE!! Respect for local culture has gone to the dogs in the last few years, it's a shame I reckon. I agree on that cultural thing but we have to accept that ...

cheatin is bad-period I think Daisy was talking about keeping things fun inside a relationship, she never spoke about cheating on a partner. It's a shame that you and several others automatically assumed she was talking about cheating (it took her a long time to explain her post ....) but I guess i...

well Emirates only accept cabin crew applications from any person once every six months, so make it good!
