So back to the point! When are we expecting this to be announced?

XPClone

Just announced that coming Thursday is a Holiday for the Public Sector, Private Sector announcement soon!!!!!! This however means that the month Dhu l-Hijja is a 31 day month and this is not possible I believe. Any comments? There have been many mis calculations in the last year so the calendar dat...

Ah - the new year detox - it will never last!

Probably best to just have a pet rock!

The balance you refer to is the minimum balance. Just stick 5000AED in the account to open it and then withdraw it or most of it. You get charged 100 AED per month when you go below this 5000AED. When you get paid you'll be above it.

What's the current price per gallon?

I had this problem too... Create your login on the salik site and you can check the transactions on your account. I recently sold my car and took the old tag out and the buyer of the car then purchased their own tag but for some reason it went onto my account due to a mistake on their side. Turns ou...

Call Salik directly and ask to speak to Desmond Rodrigues. He's a supervisor/manager there. I was very blunt stating what the problem was and how I wanted it sorted and he sorted it all out very quickly.

XPClone

Now there you go! Consumer power working for the masses via Dubai Forums. Having a name is useful as well. Is he just in charge of Salik, or RTA on the whole? :D :D :D Knight He's a manager there as far as I know. You have to be firm with these people and demand that it gets sorted. This guy was ve...

I saw a little doggy, a bunny, and a big hippo on a broom stick!

Its all true. I have heard the cable problem is affecting all of the middle east and traffic is slow due to satellite back bone use.

To be honest - I wouldn't worry about it. Everywhere is air conditioned and when the summer does arrive its too hot for anything outside anyway. If you wear shorts and tshirt and flip flops you will be too hot when you get outside. I would just buy a quality well made suit. You can get them made out...

If you wear a linen suit you will look like a miami vice Lebanese dude. Not a good look.

Linen suits are not for business. Go for a light wool mix.

If you go to the Bur Dubai area or Satwa you can get a well made tailored suit for around $200 or cheaper depending on the material.

Jesus Gezza - get a job.

I agree - stupidly overpriced and a real let down. Free advertising for the restaurants (to a point) and they have the nerve to charge that amount for a mouthful of food.

CRAP!

XPClone

Ha ha! Are you taking the p!ss?

XPClone

It wont be a problem because they only ask us for the Photocard part of the licence and as you know the endorsements/convictions are only on the paper part. So no worries Not the case with me. They wouldn't accept just my UK license. They made me go back home and come back the next day with the pap...

I've eaten 6 big macs before in one sitting!

Its for new licenses too. A friend of mine transferred their UK license at the COOP and it was all done in 15 mins. Better than waiting 15 million hours everywhere else!

Hi all For all those renting in apartments - could you tell if you have a contents or personal effects insurance policy in Dubai? These policies normally cover you for accidental damage, theft, water damage etc. Do you think it is needed here in Dubai. The theft thing I am OK about but what do expat...

Try the Wharf at the Madinat Jumeriah.

Anyone?? Oh and why was this moved?

Free Yahoo accounts don't normally offer free POP/IMAP access. It if worked before in the UK on your handset then just make sure that you have the following: - Correct POP/IMAP server address for Yahoo (Same as you used for the UK) - Correct SMTP server address for Yahoo (Same as you used for the UK...

Here you go:

Use the setup wizard here to setup you handset for email. The settings will be sent to your handset via SMS.

Let me know how you get on.

XPClone

I'm not too clued up on Yahoo Go - but at first glance it looks to be an application that is installed on your handset. If you want just email access then just use the email client on the handset. If your Yahoo Go does not support this then just register for a Gmail account and set this up on your h...

huh ? just configure your phone with GPRS and configure the mail client to download your yahoo email. simple

You need to make sure you use GPRS Internet and not GPRS WAP. These APN's are different.

Feck! Anyone have insurance?

If you take a holiday during Ramadan where do you go? I want to go somewhere that isn't a Muslim country and somewhere warm. Any ideas?
