Hey all. I am selling my Prado and the last tyre-kicker said it had been in an accident. Clearly I would know that it has not been. Is there any way to provide proof that a vehicle has/has not been in a crash? In Canada and the USA we have a service called Carcheck or Carproof or something. You prov...

I am all for a good bit of haggling, but it seems to me some people need a kick in the nuts when it comes to the skill. I went through this before when I sold my BMW. I did my research on the year, mileage, condition, etc. and listed the sled for what was a FAIR price-AED 24,000. I had all the jackh...

rseholes here say that all the time just to try and squeeze the price down. Another favourite is to ask your very lazt price on the phone and then expect to start negotiating from there when they turn up to look at the car. They also have the nerve to come back after already squeezing several thous...

Hate to say it, but that how it has always worked out in the past.

Thanks a million for the pointers DDS. To be frank, I am not sure what I would take pics of? I think they are just trying me on. I think the real buyers will come out this weekend. Who looks at sleds during the day? Car dealers. The paint overspray I can see is inside the door, but it is where they ...

Thanks for all the input DDS. I stuck it in Gulfnews, as well as Dubizzle. I do as you say and screen the losers out first. I don't understand how people make offers without seeing it. I ignore the low-ball texts and emails as well. This weekend had the family-types come out and see. Everyone seems ...

Ooooh...got any Gnu?

No more Gnu...muskox though. Perhaps a cat or two?

Where I am from, AAA is American Automobile Association. What is it here?

Phew! I was worried I was going to get a punch up the bracket tomorrow night... :lol: :lol: :lol: Knight I'll take it for you Knight...here goes... Well I am quite a bit off 40.... Really? I guess the word "quite" is subjective! (be nice in your retort, missy, I'm bringing wine-in-a-box)

Actually, based on Choc's statement...that makes me quite a ways of 40 as well. RIGHT ON!

What the hell were we talking about? And yes, the box will bleedith until dry.

Herve, if you are listed and freely living in the USA, obviously Interpol doesn't give a rat's I would say. I know your story, etc. Can you clarify for me if #1 you are actually listed by the UAE and #2 if you are living freely? I don't believe you are being pursued in the US, are you? I smell anoth...

Oh yes you can! You can get one for 10! Its laughingly called 'Napoleon' and comes from Bangalore. OK for cooking just don't spill any on a polished surface as its like the blood of the creature form the Alien movies! Best bargain is the Old Monk rum: 15Dhs a litre (12 for 75cl) and eminently drink...

Beyond awesome! Funny....everyone I know with the iPhone is like that. Hubby has a point, but go for the iPhone anyway. All the cool kids are doing it!

There is enough "certain company" phones around these days! I have a few I can mail you if it makes hubby feel better! Go iPhone. As you may have noticed, I infected FB with your link....funny stuff!

Hey all, So Mrs. DD smacked her head pretty good 36 hours ago. Defo no concussion (no nausea, vomiting, dilated pupils, etc). No bruising, nothing, just a pounding headache. No light sensitivity, no real symptoms. She has been able to "tough it out" and only took a few over the counter med...

After 36 hours - take her to the hospital mate, chances are there is no serious damage but don't mess with head injuries. The American hospital has staff on all night and can get a scan done immediately in the trauma unit. Thanks, Vikes. She is in the medical filed herself, so hard to make her go. ...

Hey All, I only posted here as it was 3am and no, we are certainly not doctors. Mrs DD is a bit of a stubborn creature and would not get it checked yesterday. We did go bright and early this morning with not a great deal of joy. Xrays showed nothing, exam showed nothing. Just with some Panadol as ex...

Thanks again all. Seems she is right in the head again (?) The blow coupled with I suspect is also dehydration was obviously the culprit. We did the math and she probably only had 500ml of water. In this heat doing strenuous activity is crazy. She has been reprimanded and I got her a bigger water bo...

I assume the horse is now called 'Soon To Be UHU'? :lol: :lol: :lol: Knight It's her boss' kid's horse and Mrs. DD offered to (do horse things) while she is on holidays. The walking glue factory has already maimed a child. Makes me nervous, her riding it, but it seems putting my foot down did not h...

Lets throw them in jail, take away all their rights, not give them access to a lawyer or communication with their families, parade them in front of a judge, find them guilty, fine them a million pounds, then deport them immediately. Same as you get here for a peck on the cheek. :shock: :shock: :sho...

I do not think there are many Emirati uniformed coppers. I think the majority of patrol cops are from neighbouring countries.

Wow, there's like 6 people online contributing. And like 6 decent topics. Won't be long till someone stirs up the pot methinks.

They ALL know where the Aviator Sunglasses shop is. Or is that standard issue uniform?

Me-yow!

Nope, it was me.

donations reached 75,000,000 in UAE. That was a telethon and those are "pledges". Pledges are non-binding announcements of an intended contribution or allocation by the donor. People still need to follow through with said pledge. i find it interesting that in this article there is no ment...
