But anyway, it appears that the consulate stepped in and the charges have been dropped. :shock: :shock: This seems very very strange. The consulate have chosen to interfere in a open and shut case with video evidence and multiple witnesses showing that she was guilty as charged. The only conclusion...

She was in a shopping trolley driving on two wheels after a football match. Anyway, she knew what she was doing and wasn't endangering anyone's life... ... wait, I think I've got my topics mixed up? What video :shock: :?? :lol: :lol: :lol: unfortunately she was indecent whilst in a shopping trolley...

I certainly would have taken exception to a local getting in my face. What did it have to do with her?? The Brit woman made her point by stripping to her bikini. I applaud her for standing up to this person. I also think that it is fair to enforce decency laws but that is not up to public to enforc...

But they can decipher VPN data if they really wanted to also. That depends on what you are using as encryption algorhythm. Do it right and nobody can listen. I've done this from router to router, but someone without an offshore internet connection would have to use a third party vpn. I use these al...

Perhaps its a language problem ... She was not naked - nor was she wearing a sheer kaftan She was not breaking the law, and was subjected to an unfair and unfounded accusation by a nutter. (Technically), it never got to a judge, it got as far as the Dubai Public Prosecution who, when shown the vide...

The fact that she (the accused) pointed out out that she had a bikini underneath her obviously invisible Kaftan - says to you that she stripped in the Mall !!! I have not and do not need to "spin" this - the facts are the facts, and as such they speak for themself, not I am afraid for you...

The truth will out: and it seems the CCTV camera has been fair here. Its obvious the woman was NOT inappropriately dressed, otherwise the judge would have thrown the book at her. It is also obvious that the local woman was a fundamentalist and possibly a candidate as a suicide bomber and therefore ...

Seriously I'm siding with the locals now, but lets face ,locals or not rich ppl drive flashy cars, I mean you wont see them driving a mini cooper like you, and that’s what money is for, right? And I don't know why you came up with the assumption that they don't pay for charity, you are being too ju...

I don't know a single person who has decided to just leave Dubai off the cuff. They either leave to go to a higher paying job and promotion, or they have lost their job and are forced to leave. Most of the latter also hang on until the last minute and leave in debt. Having said that, most people, my...

Predictions on not to distant future of Iraq without US troops.
Sunni+Shia+Kurd=big problem

benwj

It could be many years before you see a return. Interest is very low at the moment and a double (actually a triple) dip is highly likely. I'm in the same situation as you, but am lucky that at least my properties are paying for themselves and I am optimistic enough about the future of Dubai to hold ...

to improve lactic acid tollerance, just do lots of reps until failure.

I've been hanging out in pet stores latley. Took me a little while to find this one... opp Mall of the Emirates, yeh right, that narrows it down. Anyway, yes, this one is as bad as most. I wasn't looking for a dog/cat... already expected them to be a rip off and don't want to encourage them being lo...

Seems to be a case of:
Too many Indians and not enough chiefs.

I would normally get a mature dog... but
I already have a Feline Friends cat, which must have spent the first half of its life being chased by dogs and has a major phobia.
I thought that getting a small puppy would allow the cat to accept the dog before it becomes big enough to be a threat.

The guys single, cashed up and bored.
If this doesn't pull some chicks, nothing will, and yet he complains about having to take mates out in it because THEY make it smell fishy!

benwj

I'm guessing that the cat would freak at a small adult dog as much as a big adult dog. And the neighbours would'nt like their dog to be given back with scratches. The irony is that I am also getting a dog to keep other cats out of my garden, garage & house (yes they come inside, beat my cat up a...

Try it here.

Thats not true DK...
At the IMF meeting a dedicated protesting area was set aside but only one person turned up.

benwj

Nope, I just checked the market and price has spiked. There is a major shortage since inspecions on the commonweath games village.

benwj

Oh well, looks like getting a dog is not likely

Not sure how to keep other cats out without affecting my cat though.

OK I give up

sure did. is smartd a real person? Sorry to diverge, but speaking of Zimbabwe, before they switched to the US dollar, the currency was seriously worth less than the paper it was printed on. People were burning truckloads of it down into silver (silver strip) which was worth at least double the face ...

Dr Who was/is way too deep for me. I did like Tom Baker though and it just clicked that guys who I meet that resemble him, I think are cool. Never knew what I saw in them until now.
I was into The Goodies, Monkey Magic.

but it's so so so unfair :lol: look what gorgeous women you can see at a ladies' night in dubai! what about men? 4 or 5 that still have hair, a wasteline, and clean nails at 40 :D i'd say the free market supply is in dire need in dubai when it comes to gentlemen. Lower your standards, improve your ...

Having kids, you'll want a 3 bed+ villa, near a british school, in a nice neighbourhood. There are many options all over Dubai depending on your budget. Senior position, from UK company... I'd say this won't be a problem, and you will be happy with where you can live. Start with Jumeriah/UmSuqeim an...

In fairness, a lot of kids posts are in response to attacks on his country and locals.

I was going to mention Arabian Ranches, but the school is full which is the main drawcard. If you like Repton school, Arabian Ranches, could come into play.

If you believe in fate, or 'will of god' as you call it, then, by definition, you must also accept that it can be predicted. How this is done is anyone's guess. I choose to dismiss it because I find the alternative depressing. The sequence in Lost where Desmond could forsee Charlie's death, but coul...

I think all the rescue workers at the surface should have been dressed like Planet of the Apes! Would have made great TV! :lol: :lol: :lol: Knight Watching 3 dozen people getting pulled up out of a hole over a 48 hour period not riveting enough for you then? Geez some people are hard to please.
