Well Tom! I have to say that Tom Selleck was always one of my favourites! I think it was the Hawaiian shirt that did it for me :love4: As for me, there is a girl I work with tells me, on a regular basis ( :?: ) that her husband ( :?: ) tells her I am the spitting image of Amanda Redman. She is not ...

If its any consolation, I've got a googly as good as warnie's.

HI OGM, 14 months sounds young, even for Dubai. 2pm finish sounds about right. Around the same time that schools finish. The reason that childminding is not an issue is because most people have maids, and nurseries are justified more for education. Maids on the ground are not as common as they once ...

(geography lesson: Northern Ireland is part of the UK) I know the IRA is your favorite justification for Islamic Terrorism Shaf but you are wrong. You talk about Christian vs Christian terrorism, but the root cause of tension in NI is a territorial dispute and not religion. I could walk into a Cath...

^I totally agree that an Al Qaeda camp is more dangerous than an Irish pub.. I wasn't talking about Molly Malone's in Dublin. My point has always been that the hype about the threat from Muslim nutters in the UK is greater than the threat from non-Muslim nutters. The key here is 'in the UK'. Why li...

Yes, the killing of OBL violated international law.

I am sure that you could put together a self-defence argument in court FD, which would make it legal.

benwj - good to know the going rate and contract etc. thanks for that. Do people typically go through an agency or just contact the person direct - through an advert for example - dubizzle etc. expat woman that Chocs mentioned has lots of housemaid ads. The other place to get them is on shopping ce...

I'm in the process of getting a maid.
My criteria is that she has to be ugly enough to realise that prostitution won't pay.
She also has to be old and happy with her lot in life.

How about it BM?

That's right mate, money can always be made. Health and family are more important.

Yep.

His lawyer sounds quite confident.

BM: You don't live here. The little stamp you get in your passport when you come here on holiday says 'Valid 30 days only' You cannot make any informed comment on the situation of people who actually live here. :roll: :roll: :roll: Knight So you keep saying, again and again and again and again.

Dubai police are a lot more efficient. They cut out the middle man.

Shaf, You will be happy to know that YOUR queen is currently on tour of Ireland (not part of the UK).

Its the first time that I've seem a US president take a stance against Israeli policy.
What will be the outcome?
1. Will it go down as a history changing moment?
2. Will it be the end of Obama as president?
3. Will Obama back down and nothing come of it?
Strange days indeed.

Shaf, You will be happy to know that YOUR queen is currently on tour of Ireland (not part of the UK). She enjoyed River Dance. I've never seen Mrs Queen look so happpy. I don't thinks she's Shaf's queen though. I thought she was CofE. :shock: Who did he swear allegiance to then when he got his pass...

I don't thinks she's Shaf's queen though. I thought she was CofE. :shock: Who did he swear allegiance to then when he got his passport? Do you have to do that? I bet those words nearly chocked the poor bugger. Her being an infidel and all that. White trash. Probably not. They did away with it in Au...

And definately not propogated from any Sheiks right DK

I hate to imagine how expensive dogs/cats etc will be if they start enforcing these laws.

The UAE will never take animal cruelty seriously. Its not in their culture to respect animals.
The covering letter only talked about unlicensed illegal sellers.
Your dam right they are expensive. I wouldn't have any change left to feed it after forking out 10 grand for dog.

Joe Satriani - Surfing with the Alien was pretty good.

I only recently got a FB account, only because my school was having a reunion and it was the best way to get in touch with everyone.
I thought that it would be the beginning of my FB addiction, but it never really eventuated.

DDS and Chocs are not the only ones who "shack up" illegally,
and BM is not the only one who drinks without a license.

So you all just need to give it a rest.

Back in my school days I pretty much was the dopple ganger for Saffy from Ab Fab! Until I got rid of the frizzy hair and goofy glasses. One mad Welshwoman in a supermarket thought I was CZJ - did laugh out loud. Also been told I look a little like Sandra Bullock. Personally why would you want to lo...

Edited for the sake of BBs dirty mind :lol: :lol: :lol: Speaking of concerts, Roxette was brilliant. Geeze she's aged, haven't we all, but it was high engery from start to finish and transported me back to the days of studying (cramming) for my leaving cert. I went to see Mark Knoffler when he was h...

That's terrible. We took our cats in knowing that we would fly them out with us. I know there are some people who cannot take the pets with them, for financial or practical reasons, it just sucks for the pets if they cannot be re-homed. You mean people like DD. He can afford it, he's just a tight a...

I can't imagine doing facebook for very long, let alone sitting on twitter all day sending and reading twits.

I holiday in Dubai for the summer. No kids, no wife. Bliss

Both my wife and I are working which is why we need some cover outside of nursery hours. We're not keen about it but it's what we have to do. Can anyone recommend nurseries in the business bay area open 7:30 to 4 or 5 ish? One of the benefits of living in Dubai is that the higher salaries allow one...
