Hi all,

I've found an appartment in international city that looks good for the price. The owner has offered it for sale on souq.com so there isn't an agent. Does anyone know where I can get a MOI drafted if I decide to buy the appartment?

Anyone know where I can find a good lawer for some personal litigation? My wife was trying to take our kids for a holiday and she got detained at the airport accused of defaulting on a debt - we lost a nights sleep trying to get her out of legal custody, spend a full day queuing to see one buracrat ...

As local men are marrying women from other countries, but local women are not, what else can happen except, except a lot of women won't be able to find local husbands. Polygamy is a partial 'solution' to this, except that women are unlikely be happy with sharing their husband, and while polygamy see...

I'd like to be the Captian's nemesis.

Not that I have any bad will to the Captain, but I don't have a nemesis at this point in time and I think it's a cool hobby spending my available time plotting ways to get the better of someone in some way.

Ah well - I guess this happens a lot with noobs because the browser throws all kinds of old posts at you for suggested reading as if they were brand new.

I'm sure a lot of people have done this already and I expect a lot more will too.

Whatcha gonna do?

I don't agree with an Israelli land grab, but this raid seems to be entirely politically motivated. Any tool that can be used for a constructive purpose can also be used to commit a crime. The supplier of cranes cannot be held responsible for what they are used to construct. Unless the Dutch governm...

If you are serious about a theological discussion, the references to witches would be in the Torah (Old Testament) which is recognised by Jews and Christians as being laws which were meant to be applied to a particular group of people at a particular time.

Fire and Brimstone is a Christian concept and comes from Revelations: Not withstanding that a lot of Christains believe in hell as a place of punishment - many don't. The book of Revelations is full of all apparently metaphorical references which are not regarded as literal, perhaps the 'lake of fi...

Well the Daily Mail may have been going for shock value, but they seem to be entirley accurate. What's interesting is that other media seem to be avoiding the issue in order in order not to get a reaction. Obvioulsy Mohammed can be spelt in a number of ways using the Roman alphabet, but each of thes...

What do you expect, the US is a democracy - Republicans are going to get elected about half the time.

I wouldn't write off the dollar just yet as American pesimism has been in fashion since the 1960's. I think there was a time, in the 1950's where there was great optimism in the USA, but after Sputnik, and the flooding of America with cheap foreign made goods and the military failure in vietnam, pes...

Well, the point is not that greed is good, but that pessimism has been in fashion before and it connects with peoples emotions in a way that avoids the need for proof. Printing money in itself isn't necessarily good or bad and doesn't change the fundamental wealth of a nation which includes physical...

There seems to be a lot of politics to unravell. What is a foreign minister doing involved in this kind of thing? If someone wants to build any type of building, it is normally a matter for the planning council. Is the donor asking the Norwegian goverment to build a mosque on his behalf? Why else wo...

Involuntary circumcision is becoming less accepted in all Western countries. If a man elects to have the procedure done to himself, then of course that's fine, but the current thinking is that the parents do not own their children's bodies and shouldn't interfer with them.

I think it's up to Jews to decide what is required by Judaism. Jews seem to spend more time listening to their rabbi's than trying to interpret the Hewbrew Bible.

I don't think it is something you "discover" at the beginning of a relationship. I was very fortunate in that I married my soulmate. Took time to realize he was the one. :D He's also my very best friend. Several years ago I met someone who used that line on women. :lol: Seems women who he...

OK, to the OP, while the market may have been in free fall for the last couple of years, you ain't going to get much for 450k. You could get a little place in International City - but it's going to be difficult to get finance there. I've got to admire the optimism of anyone who buys in this market. ...

Well you can challenge my mathematics if you like, but 535 mj per dl is 535 per million which is 0.0535 % no matter how many times I check the calculation.

I get similar results for other news stories where people get sent to prison for driving with around 0.01% alcohol in their blood.

I've never received a text message when my wife leaves the country. I don't know if such a service is available, but it's not automatic.
