I am not surprised that they are selling returned goods.
What surprises me is that they allowed the original purchaser to return the goods in the first place.
Everywhere I go to has a no refunds/ no returns policy.

Near MOE you have AAA or Max garage.

Iit's a catch 22, to be seen or not to be seen, I know what I choose. Or to put it another way: to be seen as an idiot or not seen as an idiot... I don't think that you are one of these idiots, but if I see a car with hazard lights on in the fog I assume that they are an idiot. Explain this then: H...

The first thing that you need to do is find a job.
What do you plan on doing for a living in Dubai?
Once you have done this the rest will pretty much fall into place.

Ghada Khalil is very popular. She has a practice in Jumeriah and can deliver at the American hospital.
But in general the level of expertise is very good and there is no need to get worked up about who is going deliver the baby.
Just relax and enjoy the moment.

You are treading on dangerous ground when you start trying to justify religious befiefs using scientific studies.

You should not need any other reasons for not eating pork other than those given by PBUH Muhammad.

Out of interest, what are they???

My understanding of the objective of satan is to lure people to the dark side. With this in mind, if you were satan, and you wanted people to drink something that had harmful sideaffects, would it not make sense to make it attractive in other ways?

Thanks for finding similarities between the Bible and the Koran,
but how about some discrepencies
such as Abraham building the Kaaba, when the bible never mentioned him going anywhere near Mecca. Why was such an important bit of information left out of the bible?

Neanderthals

I have seen some people that could easily pass as a Neanderthal but all scientists suggest that Neanderthals became extinct.
But like homo-sapians, no one can be sure where they came from.
Were they also decendents of Adam and Eve? in which case they evolved in parallel to Co-Magnum man.
