Japan Imports

gtmash mentioned to me a while back to watch out for rust in Japanese imports. I have a Japanese import and yes, it has rust.

I see what you mean arnie.
Cultural values strengthen sharia law in many ways and also make it unfair in others.
Obviously the law would only apply to muslims...
Perhaps the arch bishop has an Ulterior motive to get all of the british muslims stoned to death?

Re: Divorce in Dubai

Hey, Where can I get information on procedures for two expats getting divorced in Dubai? And you are wondering why you are a DF addict? Theres your answer. You can get it done in either country. But the UAE doesn't have an agreement with the UK for example, so anything decided here isn't exactly wa...

Unfortunately Craig, with some nationalities, that is the only way they will learn. I'm not so sure.

This is the first time that I would actually endorse the blocking of a website by etisalat.

Snakes normally avoid humans.
They probably multiplied after the rain and have now come in looking for food.
Better than releasing them back into the desert to die of starvation as nature intended.

Staring I can cope with, to an extent, but when they start taking photos, tryin to touch you, or proposition you, that's crossing a line. I am surprised that it isn't at lot worse than this. O...

I think that they were replaced by the smaller Cherokee Sport/Liberty around about that time. But there are a lot of the older Cherokees still around.

The XJs go for up to 20,000 dirhams.
But I prefer the Grand Cherokees. There are a lot more of them out here and they come with the V8 option.
