dee7o made some really valid points, then again i do find medvez's thread opener kinda funny. on a serious note...living in dubai is similar to living anywhere in the world. there will always be people who are much more exposed to the world than others. it's just the reaction to the less exposed and...
mostly because these numbers look a lot like the arabic letters that correspond to them. like if u invert "3" u get the exact shape of the "aa" sound that we say when pronouncing E3mar or what u know as Emaar which is derived from act of building.
I believe there are carriages for women and children. But really in this day and age, everyone for themselves. Did anyone watch the opening last night? The Dubai One coverage was hysterical, the translator sounded like Borat with a cold. I haven't laughed so much in ages. thats funny. :lol: i on th...
so it would be Em3r? Some computer kids in the west would type 3m4r , the three looking like an inverted capital 'e' and the 4 looking like an 'a'. actually whoever named it Emaar doesnt seem to speak arabic, as it is absolutely wrong..cos yes it would sound like Em3r which is ridiculous. :shock: i...
rongson tnc123 was kind enough to post a translation of a section of the qur'an that addresses the issue, so there's ur proof. as for fairness. children born take on the name and religion of the father. if a muslim woman marries a non muslim man, then the kids will become non-muslim themeselves. So ...
As a muslim woman I should say It is all correct! Islam is not fair to women, it is not just marriage, in Islam there is a rule that if father in a family passed a way the amount of heritage is twice for his sons rather than his girls. The other unfair issue is hijab! how should women protect thems...
5% in dubai to municipality. added in installments over 12 months with the dewa bill. lovely. Interesting. You know not everyone pays this. Seems some get charged for it and others don't. ur absolutely right. its just a screw up from their end, but eventually everyone will pay up :? as for SEWA, ag...
Okay all this talk about time off is depressing me! I don't get any time off for Eid - boooooooooo! wow im curious..u serious? me wonders what field u in :shock: happy eid everyone. kick back and breathe for a change. as for u choco, i really do hope ur kidding cos everyone deserves a couple of day...
Where available, the du fibre to the home service is excellent, high speed uplink and downlink and reliable. few days back i had a reply on an arabian business article about etisalat. i dont think anyone suffered like i did from that good for nothing company. i literally waited 6 months for them to...
i have an 8mbps with 1mbps upload stream and its very rock solid. no complaints here. i can go upto 24mbps, but that would cost around 800aed. That's impossible, we used to pay DU 600aed for internet and we only have a 256kbps dsl line. Are you sure you are in Dubai? when i started with DU i applie...
That is really good to what others are saying. Do the speed test and show us your results. There is a link to add it to a forum at the bottom left when you complete it. Not calling you a liar. Sometimes what ISP advertise and what you actually get are 2 different stories. Here's the link to the free...
I agree with her. The expatriate men would woo the local women and pollute the superior Qatari gene pool. I am all for the sepearate cage...umm, i mean city. First, agree with who? I'm the only female posting on this thread, so I know you don't mean me. Second, what are you talking about??? :roll: ...
There is the proof for sure. Good speed. I suggest alot of people need to change their ISP in Dubai. I am abit surprised the upload speed VRV has is not better with that great download speed shown. The connection could have been very busy when the speed test was done. true canuckbid. its a bit weir...
I am extremely proud to see people such as speedhump and shafique discussing religion in the manner they did, and I would like to thank them both very much. Gathering quickly my thoughts and giving it a try to give my humble opinion on some points mentioned... I believe that translating the bible wa...
desertdude ur so lucky man.. aed10 a month, thats a mistake but a happy one for you. its 5% of the rent divided by 12. so if ur rent is 50,000 annually, you will pay the total of 2500AED, divided by 12= almost 210AED which will show on the dewa bill. since its not on yours, then ur not being charged...
Turn on : sense of humour, focused, humble, sharp, gets Seinfeld and loves it! smells like soap, and finally bootylicious. Turn off: fashion obssesive, naive, soap opera fan, thinks religion, science, history and politics are things we learn at school only, votes titanic as the most romantic movie e...
