Becuase then Etisalcrap will read it and close the door quicker than you can say "suck my maltesers etisalat".

Hey moderator,
Mine are a bit bigger than maltesers thank you very much!

1. DSTV from SA, but go direct through Joburg instead of locally from the rip off Jinglies. I still can't understand why some people keep on handing over thousands of dirhams to these assholes everytime the tv stops working. 2. UK satellite (sky or free-to-air) using a slingbox. 3. Discount Showtime...

I'd give her a whirl.

Apparently her status is "committed".
Probably locked away in a palace somewhere to keep guys like you away from her

It also explains why Etisalat blocked Hi5.

The problem is that they are not hard enough in the USA. The jails there are no deterrant.

Perhaps they should start cutting thiefs' hands off,
rapists' you know what off, and
peodophilles' balls off.

Its to good for this poll, Carrefour is in a league of its own i geuss, coz most of u guys love it.

HP is just joking as usuall

He's not joking at all. Especially on a Friday evening when deodorant is optional.

I know how you feel. I have tried all three providers and now have Showtime, ART and Nova.

And slingbox does work from the UK.

Fox sports is not part of showtime. It is included in the Star Select package, which is also partly included in the e-vision Firstnet package. They are very careful not to have too many good channels on one provider. The Star select package is less than 100Dhs per month which is your cheapest option...

Sorry, I don't use DSTV.
Not sure what you are asking.
You should receive the same channels as everyone else.

Have you tried radioshack in Mall of the Emirates?

No, good question. In the UK you will have a satellite receiver, slingbox and broadband connection. The satellite receiver will most likely be sky, or the free-to-air one. Instead of going to a tv, this goes to your slingbox. The output from the slingbox goes to the broadband connection. In dubai yo...

Lovely thanks for your input ! Is it worth investigating Burj Dubai? From what I can tell its still a construction site but I really like the location. I have seen Dubai Marina. Looks lovely and will look into it further. Can you or anyone give me a rough indication of how much a taxi ride will be ...

Now this is the emotionally charged topic that I've been waiting for! I voted Vegemite!.....to be honest, i haven't tried marmite - but everyone i have spoken to who likes Vegemite, thinks marmite is rubbish! Everyone who likes vegemite and thinks marmite is rubbish has probably only tried the austr...

Park n'Shop should have it. Down Al Wasel road between Union Co-op / Choitrams (which might also stock it) and Spinneys.

Your obviously not Australian then.

I am very eager to taste both vegemite and marmite. Where can i buy it here? The choitrams besides union co-op near safa park might have it. If not, then park n' shop further down al wasel road should. If you are going to try it, don't do what the yanks do and trowel it on like peanut butter. Just ...

He is 16, so its probably the year 10 certificate/junior high/ when you can leave to do an apprentiship etc or do another 2 years to get a tertiary entrance qualification. The quadratic equation is about as hard as it gets. I would have thought that the school could provide after school help, or at ...

Coops, Free to air TV (aerial) is probably no longer available. You used to be able to get Channel 33 (Dubai One) and MBC on it but I think that they have gone to only satellite now. So to answer your question, you need a satellite dish (usually provided on apartment blocks) and a receiver. Then its...

sauron wrote:Yeah, I don't see Etisalat being too happy. Do you know anyone who's actually managed to set one up?

I know one guy doing it from the UK and says that it works fine.

From what Fayz said it also works from the US, but another friend of mine had problems from Canada.

HP, Viagra might be a quick fix for your impotence problem, but unfortunately there is nothing on the market that will cure your lack of intelligence. Lack of intelligence lead the US to invade in Iraq . If the Head of state of US, UK or FBI, CIA , M5 can be stupid than HP is simple person . :wink:...

WTF is a stay tab some of you might be saying.

You will need to go to the shop and purchase a can on Mirinda.

They usually have a pull tab / ring pull that is removed before drinking the contents.

However... today, low and behold, I see one with with a stay tab!

Now that's progress.

PS - one misleading line (to illustrate why I'm a little incensed) was when the narrator said that the dolphins who had their jugulars slashed were convulsing in pain whilst slowly suffocating. What utter tosh - the dolphins were dying due to blood loss, just as cows etc are slaughtered and weren't...

Public displays of nudity, promiscuity, eroticism, rapes, homosexuality and sodomy we declare without reservation as filthy, disgusting and degrading and that unrepentant trangressors deserve the harshest penalties society can inflict and the wrath of God in this world and the next. Why is God offe...

My question is regarding alcohol and other things that are not allowed by islam, but ARE sold in the UAE. Pork is another that I can think of. Everyone knows that practicing muslims cannot consume alcohol or pork. This I inderstand. But I was told that they also cannot SELL alcohol or pork. This doe...

Hold on...

I still don't know the answer.

Shafique, you are the xpert.

Can a muslim sell alcohol to a non-muslim and remain true to the faith?

SOTR, Oh please give us a break. There are hundreds of tribes the world over who wear virtually nothing, and it is seen as beautiful and natural. People the world over go to nudist beaches etc. The human body is the most natural and beautiful thing, to hide it is the sin, not the other way around. ...

Whilst I am in basic agreement with all that you have said, and also Ian's point of view in part, do you not think that public opinion can at times change things? The point of difference being public opinion and public rabble. Organisations like Greenpeace help steer public opinion. Internet survey...

Hey, Rudeboy, I'm afraid Gibbs' record is in the book. Don't try getting clever, now, about the quality of the balls that he smashed to all corners of the ground. He was fantastic, and desreves the credit. In time to come, when looking at the records, people won't be reading about the quality of th...

Amazing hitting there never been done before in Internetional Cricket About the closest thing to it was Lance Cairns' 6 sixes off 10 balls in 83, however this was against quality bowling (Deniss Lilliee: best Australian bowler ever), at the MCG (one of the biggest cricket grounds in the world), and...

Thankyou all for the answers.

I didn't realise that it was an issue, and thought that locals would enjoy watching expats get drunk and make fools of themselves.
I'll be a bit more careful now.
