Chocoholic , You and I don't know exactly how it went down. We know that the children were seated at the other end of the table first. The couple arrived, and for whatever reason did not realise that the table was taken by the children's family, or they just chose to sit there anyway. The 3 fathers...

Bora Bora , If the Canadian wasn't looking for a fight, he should have just moved. There are other ways to maintain your pride without being difficult. Being 8 months pregant does not excuse a women from having to move or for being mouthy about it. Chocoholic , Of course there are no written rules,...

Chocoholic , You are making a pretty good argument for moving when requested by a local. I know as well as you that an expat cannot win against a local in court. The couple have lived in Dubai long enough to know this as well. With this in mind, why would you then refuse to move? Getting hit and th...

Chocs,

Its a lot cheaper tonight.

You can also check with a lawyer to confirm that a muslim's testimony is taken as 100% true. A non-muslims testimony does not carry the same weight (to a muslim judge). Basically, if it comes down to a muslim's testimony against a non-muslim, the muslim will win every time. If the expat has any amou...

1. The health card is only for use at public hospitals. I think you are 'covered' as soon as you get it. The public system is not free for expats. You still need to pay. Al Wasl is the public maternity hospital. On the good side it has the best equipment to deal will complications. Down side is that...

Yes, I've heard of this happening.

Get a bigger dish perhaps to boost the siganl a bit.

I heard a good ont the other day:

Give your children enough to do something,

Not enough to do nothing.

Nucleus ,

I think you may be referring to private debt. Although this is offset against assets all over the world and there are a lot of wealthy Irish out there.

Public debt is about the same as Dubai's. This is more difficult to pay off.

If you still want to erase the hard drive, try hiren's boot cd (download free). Boot from this and then choose one of the hard drive erase tools. That is about the safest way, short of smashing the hard drive. But if someone really wanted to get hold of your home movies, they could upload them from ...

I'm still kicking.

Chocs IS fully qualified, haven't you ever seen Muriel's Wedding? Your Terrible... Anyway, can't say I'm qualifed either after dropping thousands on dancing lessons, only for the band to play a Viennese waltz, which is tough at the best of times. I'm a traditionalist as well. How about Cristy Moore,...

Makes me reconsider dropping them off at dodgy daycare centres.

Don't worry, you didn't miss much. I thought she was absolutely shite. The way the crowd were reacting, it was like they'd never seen a granny in lingerie feel herself up before. She recently needed to flash a nipple to shock the relatively savvy crowd of Istanbul. Than again at least I didn't get p...

This quite timely given the imminent ruling on UAE clothing laws.

I would also expect the Iranian men to be more cultured Shaf, and if I were female I may feel safer alone with them than their neighbours across the gulf.

benwj

Chocoholic , They should not hand them over all at the same time. This will kill off any comeback. But I am just a dumb infidel. EMAAR have started building again which is crazy.

I think you are looking at fines of 200 dhs first day and 100 per day thereafter until you leave the country to get the new visa (entry permit) stamped in your passport (I think you have to leave the country to do this). The entry permit should take no longer than 1 week to obtain so I would be goin...

Give them some credit chocs, at least they thought to leave the a/c running.

I even felt like moving to GB to live.

Dubai Knight ,

Allow me to introduce my daughter, Lahore.

Chocoholic ,

Yes, but they (the parents I mean) are not bright enough to realise this chocs.

The next step is to only accept residency renewal applications with a tenancy contract or title deed.

So I got an email from Amazon telling me that I have to be a resident of the UK to purchase e-books from UK library (I'm using UAE credit card). I can only purchase books from UAE library. What virgin failed to tell me was that UAE e-book library only contains one book (yes, a single book) something...

benwj

Thanks TM, But I reckon Amazon are mainly looking at the credit card country of issue/billing address. I also initially thought IP address, but they don't have a problem with where the book is downloaded from (that would render their 3G network pointless), just where the payment comes from. And they...

Yeah, and he also said "Good luck, Mr. Gorsky" just after hearing Allah Akbah. True!

Another goose chase, that the police are happy to entertain.

Whats worse than a lobster on your piano?

Crabs on your organ.

Don't worry BMreformed, head lice prefer clean hair.

benwj

there are plenty of other ways of getting a sore bum in dubai. The local mantra is your not gay unless you take it.

benwj

Now theres an indigenous drone if every I heard one.

2 hours! Unbelievable! However, I am now more sceptical as to how it is possible for a British sailor to vanish into thin air.
