True - I live to shop.

PBM thinks Bluetooth is a pirate.

I call it reality.

False - I don't believe in Dhs investments.

PBM drinks wine and sips beer.

How did you guess we were going to introduce a new quick reply botton - "use the search function"?

Dr D does it again.

Only where the sun don't shine.

If you did not convert your license over - that is you went through the whole learning / testing process then you won't be able to hire a car with your UAE license for the period gtmash has mentioned.

Its the truth - nothing offensive about it.

I won't be thinking to move to Dubai, until I get offered
22.000 - 28.000 DHS per month (6000 - 8000$).

Is this too much to expect there ?

For the two listed options your expectation is on the high side.

True - in just 15 more minutes

PBM likes to blow up little ants with a magnifying glass.

Yes, I went through the whole course because I could not simply convert my license. How do they know that a new license is a converted one? Is there any special marking on it? There are no special markings to differentiate between the two. Basically you will need to provide your other license to su...

^^ What he said. Basically:

1) A copy of passport showing residency
2) Valid UAE license (+ home country license if UAE license less than one year)
3) Credit card imprint

Go to a workshop who use dentmasters as a vendor. They get 'dealer' pricing (half of regular price) so you can haggle them from there.

Have to side with Chocs: insurance, no matter what type, needs to be looked at seriously and claim rejections more often than not are case specific and not a general stance by an insurance company - (perceived) reputation is what they live on.

Thats the standard T&C for non-flexi flight on AF. Thats the ticket class you purchased and they have an allocated amount per flight. They have to compete with airlines that have a swagger more government subsidies/allowances + aging stewardesses waiting for retirement cheques so how else do you...

Their service is appauling but so many people default on CC payments and thats what drives their "chase" in the first place - you can't make money off interest when people aren't paying it.

Hmmm dutch + UK = yikes!

All I can say is when you can't even trust what you see on paper you just have to walk the other way.

Cars sold with (goodwill) warranty? Well, pigs do fly!

In the short: Car purchased from them: 2005 X5 4.8is Kms xxx "Balance of dealer warranty" etc By their definition "balance of dealer warranty" = AGMC 'should' fix anything that would have been covered by a dealer warranty under "goodwill". If not, then "balance of ...

Have a coke and a smile...

Go to Marina, DMC, DIC, areas - all have free 'n' easy surfing.

Anyone know where I can get one in Dubai? Hi! Is there any problem when importing a car from europe to dubai? If not, I have one for you :) Year made: 2006 KM: 36.500 Price: 59.900€ without transport and taxes. Don't you know the taxes and transportation fees to dubai from italy ports? At that pric...

Don't bother with the pillow talk. Overall package, as Concord has pointed out, is fine and affords you a comfy lifestyle here. Having been in the Marina for the past couple of years I can honestly say look for a place on the other side of SZR. For the price of a 2 bedroom apartment overlooking SZR,...

Niiice.

Heck, even AGMC don't have a clue when it comes to fixing beemers - and they're the agents! I turned the center console air control to cold air only and took my car in and complained that when you turn the a/c controls to 30 it would still only have freezing cold air coming from the center vents. Th...

If the husband is sponsored by his wife then he has residency, no? Which means he can work any where. If he got a job within the JAFZA then the company who employed him would apply for the relevant JAFZA gate pass so he can come into the FZ.

Pretty much spot on with what they are going for. Higher end expect either Marina / Ocean views: 600-700sqm ~ 100k, 800-1000sqm ~ 120k. Lower end you'll get views of another apartment, or SZR, or another building getting built next door. From 65k - 100k depending on size and whether you have partial...

Read the last line and take a guess.

Mate, I remember driving past a decent place while I was lost/stuck in Deira. Will try to get the name for you.

Marina Diamonds (1 and 2).

Also, if you're a light sleeper you might want to shy away from the Marina 2 (side closer towards JA) development area, as they do piling between 2am-4am.

Without having seen it I can still picture what Concord is talking about - thats what makes this median quite clever.
