link does not work

It could be argued in what context the name has meaning. It is a name used as a name.

Was the teddy bear named as in the prohphet or as in many of the childrens names or their fathers names.

Sure. May you be reminded that he is the only Sheikh who tried to clamp down on labour mistreatment. Remember only a few months ago when Dubai has gotten more stringent on the working hours etc? Agree more should be done but its not an easy job. At least he IS doing something. It wasn't that long a...

shame they dont pull over those with outdated licence plates and plates still showing the Burj. It is also highly probable these people have no insurance as well.

use the search function "slingbox" and your questions will be answered

It was an excellent example of sarcasm GT, the bottom line being "double standards"

I dont think Bushra arrives until the 10th

with a TV out on a laptop, can this output be used on any lcd/plasma TV?

arniegang

my licence place expires this month 11/07

Is there a "grace period" as i arrive the first week December, and need to use my car for a few days until i have time to have it tested in the second week of Dec

Is the size of a laptop sceen replicated onto the TV or does it expand to the full size of the TV screen?

arniegang

phew thanks, i will get in done on this trip but didnt want to do it soon as i landed and theres a fair bit going on in early DEC

arniegang

I think in the UK that is equivilent to "legal size" paper Concs. Can get it here easy, if you are desp and cant source in dxb i can bring a ream over for you next week.

It can be but it would look fuzzy as crap as not enough pixels.

Best use a low resolution, max 800 x 600.

excuse my ignorance but how big would that resolution be say on a 32" LCD?

There is a huge divide of opinion in UK. Me personally - i just dont know what to make of it, one part thinks "nah no way" and the other thinking "theres no smoke without fire" and like Ian said, it wouldnt be the first time people have been hoodwinked.

arniegang

Ian may know the answer to this

What happened with the famous aussie case involving the Dingo - i cant remember if they did or didnt, i seem to rememeber there was a film made about this.

You can ask the bank to issue a cheque to you in Sterling or they can do a transfer direct into your UK account. Remember that the rate against the Dirham is really high at the moment thus giving you less pounds to the DHM. If you haven't got a UAE Bank account, the agents bank can do the transfer f...

You can contact him at his business address at lapland or the North Pole. They may be able to help you there, but remember this is a busy time of year for his little helpers

err not sure, i will have to report back on this one as the TV is in my appt

arniegang

wow I didn't know anyplace in Dubai that used electric stoves, I thought they were all gas. I'm guessing electric is also a lot more to operate? I'm glad i saw this, I was toying with a move across the water to JBR. You have Gas at your place Fayz ??? :shock: :shock: All Emaar devs on the Marina, G...

Your chance of finding one is about the same as finding a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow.

International City would probably be your best bet.

OK your tax situation is as follows.

As you are for tax purposes resident in the UK, then any income you bring into the UK is therefore subject to tax.

It will also be considered a "capital gain" because the profit was not from your sole residence and therefore will be taxed @ 40 %.

arniegang

out of interest Fayz, how much is your community charge portion of your Dewa bill?

arniegang

As for their supposed high number of customers... well, a clear majority of those are those of us forced onto Du for Internet and Pay TV as we cannot get Etisalat. This is true. I live in JBR and we HAVE to use du. very annoying[/quote] Dont you have the option to use DIC in JBR or are they now the...

arniegang

The revenue now consideres all offshore accounts for those "resident" in the UK are taxable, this includes the Isle of Man, Jersey and Guernsey etc. Yup 40% is the top rate of tax that some of us have to pay here Chocs. Not forgetting the additional 11% national insurance contributions. :c...

arniegang

Nice one Fayz

arniegang

thought so and still the same crappy TV service

"this channel does not provide any infomation" but they do in every daily newspaper but obviously not to them

arniegang

Its the reason why we are selling up our assets and business Sage - even my fekin savings and deposits interest are taxed @ 40 %
