You may have to do it yourself then. Phone or visit the DNRD to see what documents you'll need - it will at least be passport, employment contract, trade licence, application form. See Dubai visas for contact info and more information.

Oops . Of course.

I didn't know you could get married in a mosque .

I thought in Dubai, Muslims got married at the courts, and celebrations were held elsewhere (separately for men and women), but not in a mosque.

Switch off your CAPSLOCK key.

I don't know myself, Evolve and DubaiPetrolheads are 2 specialist car websites/forums that might help you if you don't get any luck here.

Best deals are probably USA (although I did see one out of Denmark once) - you don't need a UAE based host. WebHostingTalk is a good place to start.

The main reaction really depends on the content.

It criticises the Koran as far as I know, the producer (director?) I think wanted to ban the Koran.

I heard Dutch embassies in the Gulf are warning citizens to be careful.

Dubai Airport site says

Duty Free Concessions:
2 litres liquor
2 litres wine
10 cartons cigarette
100 cigars

But that may not be correct - I was sure the cigarette limit had been changed to 1 carton a couple of years ago.

Sorry C. Looks like you were right...

Dubai duty free limits

Many expats have babies in Dubai . Most of them live. But seriously, I don't think it's more risky in Dubai than other places. You could ask at expatwoman.com or expatgossip.com where lots of mothers hang out. If you didn't have private medical cover before you got pregnant, you might face a big bil...

Why not download software without any registration? No risk, no data harvest.

See firefox, opera, openoffice, phpbb, etc if you're not sure how that works.

Except that in this case, isn't the pregnancy a pre-existing condition?

bonk wrote:No risk, no data harvest.

Yes, following on from spoonman, I shouldn't have written this - it implies software that is not registered is risk free.

Any software installed on your computer is a potential security risk, registered or not.

and hazard lights were the only plausable way to tell if there's someone infront of you. What about putting bright blue and red flashing lights on the roof of every car. You'd see them better in fog then, and you could speed up. Perhaps smaller ones could be incorporated into special hats for pedes...

Better use something that will allow you to be seen, than nothing at all. And what should camels use so they can be seen clearly in fog? What about bicycles? And vehicles without hazard lights? If you cannot see a 2 ton object in front of you because it doesn't have flashing lights, then you are dr...

In the absence of anything to say "hey watch out I am here!" in pea soup fog, you can bet I will have my hazard lights on. Righto. Just like 198 cars on the Abu Dhabi highway today who, by driving with their hazard lights on, therefore switched off their option of saying "hey watch o...

So Bonk, go on tell me! I have no fog lights on my car! What should I do? Switch on your normal lights. I have no fog lights either and that's what I do. As for the trucks with no lights, I agree they're a menace, but I don't understand how you driving with your hazard lights on makes them safer.

Specifically, it will stop someone running in to me I don't expect it will make any difference to me since I plan to be far enough behind you to stop if you get into trouble. I don't expect it will make any difference to the lunatic doing 100+ since he will run into you if you stop, even if you hav...

Next to the hazard lights... there's these things called brake lights. They only come on when you put your foot on the brake pedal. And what is the point of brake lights? Hint, be careful when answering, you don't want to end up shooting yourself :wink: ... Retards should be shot first, then the re...

^ian^ wrote:I still don't get why people get so emotional about the hazard light thing.

I didn't think I was getting emotional.

That you don't get it sums it up really. You've almost persuaded me that it probably is best for other road users if you keep your hazard lights on.

Any problem with that? Eat my shorts! The problem is that you appear to be someone fairly coherent and intelligent C, rather than completely clueless about how to drive. Until now I had assumed hazard light users were just uneducated drivers unfamiliar with foggy conditions. I now have an even grea...

Ok, here's my last attempt for today.

C or ian, have either of you heard the story of The Boy Who Cried Wolf?

Or The Hazard Lights That Cried Watch Out?

People driving too fast in fog are a hazard. People driving with hazard lights on are a hazard. How do you learn how dangerous you are? A. Understand a rational explanation why. B. Get fined by the traffic police. C. Be involved in, or cause an accident as a result of your lack of understanding, and...

St.Lucifer wrote:I dont see the logic in how ...... switching on Hazard lights can cause 100 more vehciles to lose control and hit each other.

Being able to switch on hazard lights might have reduced the number of cars involved. See my earlier explanation.

im still standing my ground advocating hazard lights, you'll get collected from the back by an absolute moron of a human being. And hopefully you'll still be able to stand your ground after someone has smashed in to you because you couldn't warn them you'd stopped. If you are a relatively safe driv...

I am astonished. In which country is this suggestion made?

if you stop / crash / breakdown - you'd turn them on so your logic, bonk, that they contributed to the extension of the pileup is just rediculous.. You contradicted yourself. Or me. Or someone. How can you turn on your hazard lights after you crash if you already had them on? That's exactly my poin...

ebonics wrote:i fail to see how the hazards are blamed on this.

Yes, I know. And that's why you scare me as much as the lunatics doing 150 kph.

ebonics wrote:the first two cars that crashed, should they turn their hazards on or not?

Yes. But how can they if they were already on? You keep making the same point as me but missing it entirely. You seem to be the online equivalent of someone who can't even hit the floor when falling down.
