The only thing I said was that it is impossible to predict, the same way that back in 2000/2001 nobody was able to predict what would be happening here today. One year ago everyone was predicting that prices will fall especially when JBR comes on the rental market, well its here, and the prices are...

Not being into Marketing i thought i would run this past you. In UK we have a huge Chain of supermarkets called Tesco. THey sell everything from food to Car Insurance. THey are very competitive especially for their insurance products. Why would they advertise on TV that they have set up a new "...

arniegang

I dont see how. Lets assume there is a cheaper product out there and there probably is, if that came up on their site as the cheapest then Tesco would not sell any of their own products.

Why would they set up a site that may in effect shoot themselves in the foot?

Ebonics you are on very unsound ground when you start preching about the Saudi's and their interpretation of Islam. It is generally accept from all faiths including well learned Islamists and muslims in general that the Saudi's are a joke in how they have their own intepretation of Islam. its not t...

arniegang

Because its not necessarily about price. There will be cheaper products but the inclusions will not be the same, and the criteria for obtaining them may be harder. this should be reflected in their comparison chart. the bigger question is - Should you buy insurance from a supermarket? In the aisle ...

Arnie, everything you've said qualifies you to have an opinion and nothing more. If markets and crashes were that easy to predict, people wouldn't fling themselves out of buildings... in fact, there would be no booms and no busts... just a flat line. But the truth of the matter is, everyone saying ...

Tests for Hep A, B and C are mandatory, as is the Xray for TB, I'm sorry you will not get a Residence Visa on the basis of your condition.

arniegang

take my word for it mate you will pay way way less than Asda/Tesco prices.

If you want any direct comparrison on food prices UK v DXB pm me.

no worries they dont do the eqiv of CRB checks in Dubai.

Anyways a caution would not appear on a CRB check, only "convictions", a caution does not come into that category so you are ok.

Would like to know any opinions of the hottest topic in the UK at the moment regarding incorporating Sharia Law into the UK Legal Framework. Personally i think it sucks. Whether or not you support Sharia Law, whether muslim or not my opinion is the unfair weighting the law gives to the male. British...

an interesting fact in Gulf News on their properties section. Listed are 10,052 properties for sale or rent in Dubai

10,000 !!!!! obviously there is a very long queue to buy or rent all these properties

Maybe it will go up, maybe it will come crashing down. All I know is that back in Dec2005 people were telling me not to buy (which may have included Arnie - I can't remember so if this is incorrect, please accept my apologises). Had I listened I wouldn't be have gained approx 50% plus unreliased P&...

I am a British expat moving to Dubai and I am very concerned that if I die my assets will be distributed in accordance with Muslim Sharia Law. No, in your case since you're an expat from UK, the UK law shall take precedence over the UAE law when it comes to your will. However; it will be a differen...

you have already been told that anyone with Hep A,B or C cannot obtain the visa required to live and work in Dubai in your other thread.

How can you remove a cultural difference when incorporating Sharia Law into the British system.

If it was, it would no longer be sharia law and therefore no point in incorporating it.

THe British Legal constitution would never allow cultural differences.

If the divorce is consensual then a UK divorce is possible from anywhere in the world. It can be done by post. The is no mechanism for any UK divorce to be sanctioned from anywhere other than the UK. If the divorce is contested and legal representation is required this becomes more complicated. Howe...

Girl_ Glen please give sound advise if you post on such serious issues . Hep B is present in the liver yes, but you failed to mention that it is also present in the blood. Hep B can be transferred via blood/saliva contact and/or s.e.x.ual intercourse. If you have Hep B it will show on the blood samp...
