I was thinking that RVP but didnt have the heart to bring him doen to planet earth

arniegang

Fayz I sorta see your point, but the property thing for me was really of little interest as owners like you and me it really makes no difference what the value of our homes are, well for me anyway. I dont intend to sale my place it is our 3rd home and therefore its value whether up or down has no re...

Ian - i repeat for the second time GDP does not include property sales, it includes rent but not Sales, i will explain The components of GDP consist of of the variables C, I, G and NE C is private consumption in the economy. This includes most personal expenditures of households such as food, rent, ...

Soul all property sales values are excluded when calculating GDP. The reason being it wouldnt give a true figure of the actual GDP. For example take Dubai, yes it is an emerging market for new property sales, but if these figure were included in the GDP then it would not give a true indication of th...

arniegang

soul ian's post basically mirrored mine. However i would not conclude the same as you both in terms of a temporary glitch/hike in the GDP. Taking out the building material for new developments, which is probably a very small proportion of the overall Dubai and UAE GDP the figures have nowhere to go ...

I’ll be honest I just skimmed the last little bit and and have no experience in the fields of macro economics or marketing but okay let’s say that the prices of homes don’t get included in GDP all the companies supporting that industry do? I.e. 1 have one friend who owns a pool installation company...

I understand Nakheel has plots for sale, and the buyer can build to order.

arniegang

and its cold and they drink a lot of vodka

arniegang

the catch could be that maybe you'll be working for "the mob"

arniegang

Only because he ran out of time, anyone not "white" was next on his hitlist and that included Arabia.

Dohhhhhhh

testing 123 we are talking about UAE not Saudi Arabia

The only relevence i read into the article was that the UAE Bank Govenor was "unavailable for comment".

this forum is very useful for slingbox owners - hope it helps

Ian is totally correct and i can only expand by one further point. The importance of an "upstream" @ a min of 250k is crucial for slingbox. Even here in the UK, even though we can download at lightening speeds up to 24meg, our "upload" speeds arn't that great. People automaticall...

lucky boy HP you'll get there a day before me ... so that means you're here on the 8th? I propose we have a night out, maybe a shisha thing, weather is nice in honour of both of you, HP/Bushra are you two available? if so i'll start organizing. I can't promise Liban but I'll pass on an invite for y...

we all know that Taxi drivers DO NOT like short runs

arniegang

within the definition of "unskilled" would this include taxi drivers, hotel staff etc etc or is it defined to "construction labourers"?

arniegang

I wish non smokers would change the record.

Smokers have Rights i say and in your case Gigsy we make a huge contribution in Tax which in turn makes your take home pay what it is - no smokers would put 3p on the basic rate of income tax.

arniegang

i know you dont care about income tax Sage mate, but i do and yup i pay 40% basic and capital gains which goes up next year to 18%. Add on the tax i pay for my fags and everything else inc VAT i probably pay a true rate of around 60% tax. So gigsy your argument is flawed re the tax i more than cover...

arniegang

I think the underground city was that mad cap idea of the underwater hotel that was being planned opps JBR.

arniegang

what you mean!!!!

we already pay approx 40 dhs for a packet of fags, noo not a carton, a packet of 20 that costs 5dhs in DXB

arniegang

The price of Rolex's are fixed globally. My 2 cost the same in Dubai as in the UK, the only difference being i could actually buy them "there and then" and not have to wait 2 years. My gold/stainless submariner cost 25000 dhs which is the same price here in the UK. Getting it through custo...

arniegang

What you mean Sage ??-Shisha is lovely, savour the aroma of strawberry, mint, apple etc.

Its far more pleasant than getting a whiff of smelly armpits.

than youve never been to Vaduz..... correct?
Prices over there are 7-10% lower than in the rest of EU/ World

and with respect, you clearly know nothing about Rolex Watches

If you read up in Expat and use the "search function" all your questions will be answered.

arniegang

the answers are simple a/ yes dubai is as safe as anywhere and b/ what difference does it make what country he is in if he wants to shag around? The same answer would apply to whatever country he was in. If he wants a woman he will find it whether he be in Dubai, Columbia, London or Outer Mongolia. ...

arniegang

M's situation is quite rare and he was very unlucky, generally speaking flat/appt/villa share is ok

arniegang
