Sorry melika, didn't mean to hijack your thread. Suggest you avoid booking a taxi between 12pm and 1pm if you use the the RK taxi agency though .

RK, you're making too much noise for me to figure out what you're saying now.

RK, ignore this post, I have a version for you in the next post. My mistake. Calendar 1. There is no year 0 in the Julian and Gregorian calendars which are what most people are familiar with (in the west at least). 2. There is a year 0 in astronomical calendars (because of my background I was thinki...

Haha, nicely put (was it meant to be a pun ?). Yes, I got a bit carried away there. Curiosity about my mistake got the better of me.

Yes .

As far as I know the Dubai courts won't allow a Muslim female to marry a non-Muslim male.

Even Dubai Forums has got its clock wrong. Look at the postings. 11.51 AM is followed by 12.28PM , followed by 5.32 PM !! Does that make sense?? Yes. Anyway, it's the php date function that governs the display, using a UNIX timestamp. Any php script using 'A' or 'a' as part of the date() format str...

FROM WIKIPEDIA Not an authoritative source. The National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, states: To avoid confusion, the correct designation for twelve o'clock is 12 noon or 12 midnight. Alternatively, the twenty-four-hour-clock system may be used. The abbreviation a.m. stands for ante-meridiem (before...

Something as basic and as IMPORTANT as TIME , should not be open to confusion OR DEBATE !! Good point. I guess that's why the NMM, NIST, and other authoritative bodies have clarified the issue. Of course they can't force you to agree with them if you want to be the odd one out and disagree with the...

Ask at hotel if they have facilities. There are a couple of nurseries in the Mankhool area - they might have short term daycare arrangements. http://www.dubaifaqs.com/toddlers-international-nursery.php http://www.dubaifaqs.com/british-orchard-nursery.php http://www.dubaifaqs.com/de-la-salle-montesso...

I'm planning on moving from UK to Dubai. I've been given a job offer for 30k aed /month (all inclusive, but they pay for medical & insurance aswell). I currently get £50,000/year in the UK. The 30k looks quite good as its tax free but I'd like to know if I can have a decent quality of life livi...

It's not huge but decent enough depending on what sort of sales manager and company. Biggest expenses are taken care of. Allow 15k if you want maid/nanny or 20k-30k for nursery per year.

I'd be amazed if you paid anywhere near 100k per year to rent a one bedroom apartment in International City. You can buy them outright for around 500k. You'll have a fairly good life living on that salary. International City is a bit of a dump. Plenty of wildlife though. Well, rats. Yes, IC one bed...

Abu Dhabi hotels generally expensive. Low supply, high demand, limited space for new construction. There's a Centro by Rotana supposed to open on Yas Island in 2009, and maybe a Park Inn, both 3 stars so should be cheaper but not during F1 weekend. Also a Centro on Airport Rd, and a Premier Inn some...

6 month ban might be removed but don't hold your breath. Could be tomorrow, next year, or never. Property residence visa already changed to 6 month visit visa renewable http://www.dubaifaqs.com/visa-residence-property-uae.php If you are waiting for visa and labour permit to be processed then could b...

just make sure you check each country regulation before flying in, it's called common sense. According to the story, he had a prescription, and celebrex is not on the banned drugs list. Sounds like common sense to me. Unless you mean UAE drugs common sense which is don't bring anything even if you ...

Depends on the job, money, what your interests are, how you like to live, etc etc.

Don't notice too many of the local developers making headlines on there though ! Red notices on Interpol are for people wanted for "Check Fraud", not debts per se. Having a debt doesn't get you jailed, bouncing a check does. Credit card debtors get in trouble because the bank presents the...

Labour law has a clause that says the employer can claim up to 1 1/2 or 3 months salary (I forget which) as a penalty if contract is broken.

Any one can help?

Sure. Just print this and change the details as needed.

Or this one if you want a different color.

It means he wants something you haven't given him yet.

If the mum says you're the girl then maybe you are (usually no girl is good enough for a mother's son). But ask the mum, don't believe the guy.

How can it be urgent? If you've just banged someone without the correct safety equipment I think it can lie hidden from tests for several months.

They're not mine, I've just linked to some I found on the webernet.

Anyway, a fake receipt wouldn't be any good to the OP ...

Great information regarding the license, the point about buying from the Barracuda may be correct, however you are not legally entitled to transport it out of UAQ/Ajman because you will not have paid the 30% federal liquor tax. I thought if you showed your licence at UAQ/Ajman then you paid the tax...
