So I'm guessing you sorted out all your entry and exits probs man ?

desertdudeshj

No worries, take your time bro.

desertdudeshj

Hey should have rang me, was havin the case of the munchies aswell, all sorted now ! Me and Tariq the Morrocan dude you met the other day were just lounging outside the place havin' smokes. But then again you would have to skip on the infidel meat and juice

Ah well, next time gadget,

BTW how is Men with brooms ? A Canadian buddy mentioned it as worth a watch. Long story about how there are hardly any good Canadian movies, so now I'm conned into watching this one ! It has Leslie Neilsen ( RIP ) so I'm guessing its worth the effort ?

Whats the matter ol' gal. You don't like a couple of guys getting toghter for a meal, very strange indeed ? Or maybe I should send you a list of aquitances that I can and cannot meet up with ?

desertdudeshj

Damn woman you're less coherent than usual, extra bottle today ?

Back in day, I got tipped 25 fils from a man staying in Emirates Towers

One old german lady once tipped one of my collegues in cigarettes and chewing gum !

I think the biggest tip I got was 200 USD and then the other time 400dhs, not bad I say. Clients from Burj Al Arab were the cheapest buggers.

It was an elderly german couple, you figure the rest

Then how do you explain cafe culture in the middle east wheter it be people smoking sheesha or sipping coffee all day and night long. Wonder what they are talking about then ?

Well I just realised a few days back my driving license had expired and really wasn't in any mood to drive down to Sharjah to get it done. Called RTA three times on three different occasions just to tripple check on everything. Said it wasn't a problem to be renewed in Dubai, even with a Sharjah res...

No services have been stopped because of the EID as you might have read now the process is going to be integrated with visa renewals, something I've been saying that should have been done in the first place, I got my license renewed in Sharjah didn't I. The point is the monkeys at the RTA have no cl...

Maybe Herve could sell them a few ideas for the script and maybe even get a role if a movie is ever made !

I think Zubs with your legs you'll get the evil villian role as ex chairman of a certain up to its eyeballs in debt company

Wasta and how it works in this country. Its a two street, you ask a lot of small favours and they get done and then one day your asked for something really big and out of the way and then you really are in no position to refuse then, awkard to say the least. I prefer to stay on the otherside of this...

desertdudeshj

Your brought up the wasta bit in this dicussion, which was really a moot point anyways.

Anywhoo, hope this atleasts serves as a heads up to anyone about to initiate a similar endevour here.

Took you longer to type the post than it takes Westeners to get a license - without a test! Not really, only if have a driving license issued by a country on the prefered list and hold the same nationailty. If your not then all of a sudden the same license is pretty much useless. Also I know britis...

desertdudeshj

Nah, defenitely May.

And Neither for me. Skyline GTR anyday of the week and then some. Anyways not big on these, specially when you think of the practicality of these things vs price and maintainace.

desertdudeshj

Booze is one of those things that they officialy don't want but know they can't survive long without it so they try to regulate it and mostly overlook most violations and trying their best to have it both ways. Just like a lot of other laws, decency etc etc. Specially if they are looking into raking...

desertdudeshj

First make sure you actually want to come and live here and not just believe everything you saw in the glossy pictures of that travel brochure. Come down on a visit first and see and experience everything first hand. From net forums and personal interactions its the Americans who have the most diffi...

desertdudeshj

No worries mate, I understand the need for infidel juice, and by all means. That was just a personal opinion, just that I've seen too much crap gone wrong and people land up in really crappy situation because of it. Although I was delighted to read some places in Canada are considering a zero tolera...

desertdudeshj

P.P.S : What just gets my goat a little here though is that how some think its their god given right to drink here and not a priviledge and an accomodation, and then whine like morons when they do step over the line.

desertdudeshj

OH NO ! What will I do, the deadly eye roll......... Kryptonite of forums !

Not to fret I got lead lined undies

desertdudeshj

Hey then it would be convient for people and might actually even get some work done too, now we don't want that now do we ! Less red tape and free flowing, blasphemous I say ! But some depts is dubai do open till late now, RTA car registrations being the top most in my book. Least amount of red tape...

desertdudeshj

Bacially because they're all staffed by locals and you can't get them to work long hours - they just won't do it. That reminds of one of the local radio shows I was listening to Bu Omar or something like that, and had a caller complaining his office timings till 2 pm were too late and that because ...

desertdudeshj

Sorry mate been posted already

You keep talking about your job and field of work but never mention what it is ? Without that piece of information its pretty much almost impossible to say anything. I haven't seen many expat 26 year old making that kind of money plus benfits, so its totally impossible to gauge. Unless its something...

desertdudeshj

If your at the top of your game, then I suggest you stay put. Put in another 3 to 5 years and then re evalute the situation.

desertdudeshj

Well you can pretty much make out they are not working when all the whole building is almost empty half an hour before quitting time. I had a friend who worked in the IT dept of Ajman police, many days he'd just tell one of his buddies to punch in his card for him. So techinically he was still at wo...
