Dubai Forums

Some people just like to resurrect the dead.

Good things? Now what fun is there in that?

Funny, I watched an episodes of X Files at lunch in the JA foodcourt.

Have to agree with Arnie. With the way inflation is going our company is seriously reconsidering its decision of having a hub in Dubai. The freezone attraction has been far overshadowed by the cost of posting quality staff here.

I heard that rents rockected off the richter scale in Jebel ali a few months ago. ?

You heard correct Arnie. Suffice to say even though my company is building its own facility in the freezone the rent for the plot of dust that it will sit on could buy you a nice piece of Cuba.

Yeah, we were tapping the temp gauge a few times when we came out of the foodcourt. It was bloody 45 degrees in JA at 1pm. Will be gladly taking a short summer vacation in a couple of months.

Chocs I'll hunt around for my old recipes from the juicebar days.

You should definitely be able to get something decent for that.

The concrete is pretty hard so don't forget ur pillows.

Seriously though, u might be able to get a space in a villa in Satwa but don't expect anything fancy.

Mine was handled by the agents and my things remained intact.

K, they must have x-rayed urs and wanted to have a peek-a-boo.

I thought cross dressing would be frowned upon?

Liban, I can try to get u a deal at Plug-ins but its at Al Ghurair.

Theres a small shop in Jumeirah plaza that will cater to your needs.

Name and shame them girl.

Fair comment chocs but I've always been a firm believer that public opinion matters - especially to guys. These whack jobs may just think twice.

Even if it results in one post wonders being weeded out its a worthwhile exercise.

Sorry matey, I only saw ur message late last night. Hope you managed to sway a good deal.

K, they have almost as many shops around as Axiom... ok well, slight exageration on my part... but still plenty of stores around the place. The ones I normally go to are in Deira City Centre and Al Ghurair.

True that Shaf, I managed to get prices well well below carrefour when I bought my things.

Good to see he's prolific with the copy and paste functions

Keep em rolling ladies - this might prove to be rather entertaining, ahem, sorry I meant informative.

Actually I don't know about the rest of you girls, but I find it quite insulting that he couldn't even bother to write a personalised message and just spammed all of us, typical bloke, minimum effort hoping for maximum outcome, sadly in this guys case, minimum effort = zero outcome. U got it all wr...

Ditto Fayz. You can't expect to go into a store and get good product advice here. Really need to know what you want and how much you want to pay for it before going into the store otherwise they'll have a field day with ur wallet.

And I thought my pillow talk was top advice... thats the tip of the week right there.

Some people just have an altered sense of reality FP. Handsome - if you're blind. Tall - compared to a midget. Girlfriend here - Amazon.com was sold out.

Awww... K sounds so diplomatic at the onset.

All bets aside when the claws are sharpened though

Rob_Rob wrote:Is it possible? Who are those single, lonely men? Locals, expats? What age?

Quite possible considering it is more common for single guys to be moving here and a fair whack of the girls that come, have done so with their partners.

U really needed a new post just to tell us that?

Liban, are you and K on good behaviour bonds?

People are being so sentimental today... all together now... "awwwwwww"

Gotta agree with K. I've got one and the only time I've ever used it was when I first cleaned all my plates cause I couldn't be arsed hand washing 3 drawfuls. Pretty much hibernating for the past 10 months now.

I was only with my real estate agent for 10 mins, they took care of the rest.
