Good work but it took me a few tries to get signed up. I think it's the 0s and the Os that I get mixed up and some of the letters that look the same whether they're capital or not y and Y for example...

I do that. Works real good and you can use your own headphones to keep watching the movies after they collect the company ones

Legally? Property, shares, salary increase, better job, start a company...

Illegally? Probably variations on the above.

I made a thermometer that went to 65 C and left it in the car. The top blew off.

I don't think it does if you have drink or drugs in you.

Yeh, me too. Do this with good readers and you'll look forward to traffic jams. Really!

Mountain Dew left in the car in the sun turns to piss which tastes bad and causes cancer

Bottled water doesn't cause cancer.

Sorry! I didn't see the post further up about the snopes link.

This is the new Dubai Bachelor City

Youtube ok for me but internet was painfully slow today, ok now.

Enjoy the (relative) peace and quiet while you can.

Imagine how many cranes and constructions there will be in a couple of years when even more projects are progressing further - Dubai Waterfront, Dubailand, Dubai World Central, Deira Palm, more metro lines...

That's excellent! One more just for us

I've seen a phone advertised which will take two sim cards but what happens if both numbers are called at the same time?

Chocoholic wrote:No, you need an international dirvers licence.

And your driving licence - for renting a car. The international licence on its own isn't worth anything.

If you drive someone else's car then you need to get a temporary license from the traffic department.

The Dubai Summer Surprise season starts, or has started. There may be some dealers giving a discount on cars? I've seen good deals on Fords that were 6 months old from Al Tayer - ex-management cars. New cars from previous years are cheaper but they're worth less also because of depreciation.

So, my friends!! What best can I give this girl as a gift of attraction?

A Porsche? A villa on Jumeirah Palm? Brad Pitt?

Fun? Yes
Cheap? Yes if you eat at Ravis
Expensive? Yes

Jumeirah is popular for accommodation. Try Mirdiff, but anywhere is difficult. Or wait till 2008/2009.

Balushi wrote:BUT: The problem is that, My other 3 girlfriends want to also see this movie witha me!

Well if POTC is so bad, they'll be so unimpressed you won't have the excess girlfriend problem after you've taken them all .

I enjoyed it. Don't leave before the end of the credits - there's a bit more.

I have a 42" plasma and diesel generator with satellite dish. Seems to work fine at any speed.

MaaaD wrote:i was under the impression this was the last one but the ending made it seem like there might be more !

Especially if you see the bit after the credits. Yeah, long but good fun and great special effects.

Radio show was talking about this last week. One phone-in said he broke a car window to let a suffocating dog out. Owners went nuts and called the police who charged him for damaging car. Police said he should have left dog alone. Does that principle apply to children too then?

In theory I think car gets confiscated/impounded. In practice, it probably depends on who you are.

There are many real estate agents. Some bad, some good. I'd agree Better Homes is a safe bet when you don't know. Maybe Asteco also. Here's something that might help - Real Estate agents in Dubai . I was just reading today that Dubai Land Department will deal with disputes but only if there's paperw...

International City, Rainbow Apartments in Ajman, Oasis Lagoon are not for ultra rich.

I am also concerned about re-entry here as Quarantine is a big deal (5mths) and she might not cope with that very well. What about the poodle - what does she want? Friends here had dogs they took back to Oz, quarantine was a drag and I think they got lost in Singapore on the the way back but they'r...

What are you worried about? Safer for kids in Dubai if you don't let them drive or put them on your lap when driving yourself.

you aren't local my friend therefore you can't discuss this matter. Leave it to the locals, we just sit back and pretend everything is great, "kick you in the crunch, spit on your nick" great! :glasses7: I don't follow :? :? :?: Philipino ban was because Philippines said minimum should be...

scot1870 wrote:there are very few drugs and only a fraction of the underage drinking there is in other countries.

I agree it's safe but I don't think "very few" is very accurate. As for drinking, since age limit is 21 there could be a lot of underage drinking.
