Yeah...thats only cos there are no cops on duty to record crimes after 2pm! They are either asleep, bothering little children down at the primary school or collapsed off their faces outside Fibber Magees! Anarchy in the UAE anyone? :lol: :lol: :lol: Knight To be fair..I was approached by one of Dub...

So Mrs. DD and I are closing up shop here at sometime in the near future. We are moving out of Mirdif as the lease is up at the end of October. On our Dubai "bucket list" one of the things I had was to live near/on the beach. The moving company is coming on the 27th to pack our goods and s...

It's all about quality and not quantity, Knight. Surely if wee searched we could find something useful that lured people here in the old days? Arnie's helpful posts of old are 50% responsible for my butt landing here.

I once tried to trade infidel juice for automotive services and DD2 turned me down. He's not on the sauce!

Realizing I have been here 3 years now and thinking of all the grand plans I had for living in the region, hardly any have come through, mostly my fault for thinking "I can always do it another time". With my time left in DXB dwindling, there are many things I wanted to tick off the list o...

Thanks man. We're not leaving just yet, just getting out of Mirdif. We'll be in town till January/February I am guessing.

Meh all a bunch of idiots. Try putting what you're looking for as a status on your FB - so many people do that. I might try that, Chocs. Alternatively, you could offer your sofa. :shock: I have something in the works actually, but is not available till Oct. 15. A 3 week special would be perfect for...

@Ambassador...that might get a bit pricey, but defo an option.

@Chocs..two are on their way down under at the end of the month, the third is going to a better place. (by that, I mean a retirement home)

It is looking like I will be living near the beach come Oct. 15. Tick one off the box! As a guy that grew up in the mountains of Canada, it will be a real novelty for me. I will probably go once. I have had a pool the past 3 years and been in it 5 times. (never had a pool, either back home). As far ...

Had a look around and I think the management of these places are smoking something. So much competition in Barsha and Tecom, yet all the rates are nuts! Today a client of mine offered their Palm villa for the short term till we take on a place in the marina. Free storage and a free palm villa=I'll t...

But infidel juice is a key component to camping DD2! I guess I could play some guitar, but that is hardly payment.

Seems that way. Mrs. DD did not care for her Calgary winters or Vancouver fall/winter/spring so time to give her turf a try.

My fave daily drink is Tim Horton's from Canada. Fortunately, friends and family visit often and bring it back for me. I also like the Jacobs brand from the supermarket. Can't stand Starbucks. As I used to visit Jamaica quite a bit, I could hardly wait to try the Blue Mountain coffee. I honestly can...

I had the pleasure of meeting the douchebag from EMKE group about 2.5 years ago. I had no idea that he was worth that much then, or now. My company (CSI) did some BMS for their garbage outlet in Khalidya Mall in AUH. He was displeased with progress, I was displeased with payment. As a newbie to the ...

Very true, TJ. Did not know about San Walton, but the "Oracle of Omaha" still amazes me. He does nothing flashy at all and is rallying with Bill Gates to distribute 90% of their wealth when they die, not to mention the gazillions they have donated already. If the EMKE guy was at least poli...

Is it hard doing your job with your head in your behind? As a new, temporary resident of this community I wonder which website you bought your Civil Engineering degree from? A one-way road consisting of five (sometimes three or ?? lanes) was a brilliant idea. It is particularly awesome how when I ni...

dubaidog

You got that right, BM! This place is ok, but we found a great spot in JBR that ticks all the boxes, so we are defo looking forward to that. We move in just a week now.

dubaidog

Sometime back went to view a few apartments at JLT. Really very spacious and rent was good. Problem was the buildings were near the overpass you had to take from SZR, one of which we looked at was the first building on the right. Had to drive to the arse end to the last building project and go back...

It is the place to be in Dubai. I would have to disagree, but that's just my opinion. Recently moved to the Marina Residence (rental) on the Palm and I love it. It is the best property put up by Nakheel - in every way. Granted, no shopping center and have to leave the Palm for shopping and social a...

I think it is great if these guys are loaded. If I was loaded, I would certainly live the lifestyle accordingly. There is something to be said for humility though. Can't quite see the point in being loaded if you squirrel it all away and live like a pauper. That is not to say you need to live way OT...

So I have been the go-between for an out-of-country family member selling their off-road Jeep. There is a guy that wants it, full pop sale, so that is good. Question is, can I close the deal for him with the RTA if he is out of town? No fines Paid off (clearance letter from the bank in hand) I have ...

dubaidog

Yes. He has to sign the official RTA 'Bill of Sale'. You may have to send it to him. Also don't forget to cancel his Salik tag. To do that, you must remove it from the windscreen and present it together with the correct form at the Salik desk at Tasjeel, Barsha. :shock: :shock: :shock: Knight Salik...

So Mrs. DD organized a team building weekend in Abu Dhabi last weekend and her and her work mates entered the Dragonboat Festival/Race. The boss closed the shop and brought the whole gang down on her dime for the weekend. They stayed at a fantastic 5-star hotel and subsequently anyone that was not a...

dubaidog

There are agencies that will handle it for you, but still need all the official paperwork. Don't just throw the Salik away, the new owner cannot register the car for Salik in his name until it is officially cancelled. He will happily drive through the gates and your unhappy relative will be fined 5...

It was Shangri-La Hotel, Qaryat Al Beri, Abu Dhabi.

This one is actually still going on. Not sure it will be as grand as originally depicted, but the villas and other bits are complete. I think people might be moving in. There is a new exit off Emirates Road I noticed, and you can see the villas now that the cladding is gone.I see the ADCB banner, so...

Dispicable and utterly disguting. Should have walked out and demanded a refund. Name and shame to the max. See if you can get some local rags to cover this. It was pretty sad, DD, Bora sent thru some info that I have forwarded to the powers-that-be. At least thru all the crap, they accomplished the...
