if feasible i'd recommend getting your license in the UK before coming here, if you have a valid UK license it is pretty easy to get a UAE, only need an eye test if i'm not mistaken.
c'mon richmc, anyone who has to say with such frequency that he is not gay, isn't comfortable with who he is and is usually a closet. in Dubai i find Kiwis and Aussies the nicest people but the percentage that are gay or bi is higher, I'd say second nationality is leb, then GCC'ers you can pm smiper...
thank you all for your responses, I'll leave it open for a few more days for feedback and likely by the end of this week post a time and a place. Look forward to meeting all of you.
. Men in Islam aren't allowed to wear silk and gold - seen as luxuries in the past. Wasalaam, Shafique Hi Shafique, or anyone else, I always knew about the gold and silk but I was wondering if you could comment further, I've seen a lot of wedding rings on local/Arab/Muslim men, most not being gold ...
Thanks Shaf that helps me understand things better. For the tattooing, i think it is more to do with the permanent alteration of your body then what is actually on the tattoo. I’m guessing for the same reason boob and nose jobs are out, although they are probably the biggest business in Lebanon, heh...
I suspect they are waiting for the property market to start dropping, when this happens they’ll pass the law and help reinforce property values. I’m guessing early 2009., kinda using the law as an ace in the hole.
Well yes, plus if you're not sharing with people, you cannot get any utilities connected without a residence visa. You definately can't rent on your own without a visa. Can't get a bank account without one, so how can you write checks? etc etc While Choco is technically right, you'll soon realize t...
First I'd like to thank everyone for replying and keeping it Civil. Majority rules, so it'll be the weekend of March 3rd and a Shisha venue as that seems to work best for most people. I just need to get a place organized for us, I'll PM/Post venue and time soon. Look forward to meeting up with you a...
Oh man, judging again... Do you ever take a day off? Pink makes a positive statement for little girls and you still need to slam her as not a model human? News flash! One need not be perfect (whatever that is) to be inspirational and give out positive messages. You need to get laid... You are too t...
Good point DBXsoul. I will check that out. BTW the company has stated they will also cover insurance, maintenance and petrol on top of the car allowance. Is this usual? I've never heard of that but maybe I don't get out much, people I know either get an amount per month or a lump sum like you were ...
But what happens if they actually find something? Is that automatic deportation? Are doctors required to report you like they are for unwed pregnant women? I'm lucky enough to be in a long term monogamous relationship but this is a good topic, I’m sure a lot of people are interested and just afraid ...
I think Mirdiff might be reasonable area for you to live, I agree in that inter-emirate commuting is a pain in the A$$ but you will be living on the right side of the creek (crossing the creek is the biggest pain) and you are going against the bulk of traffic (most people head from Sharjah to Dubai ...
My understanding is that the transportation of alcohol through the Emirate of Sharjah is a very big no no. I doubt anyone is going to go to your house and do random checks but lets say on your way back from the store you have an accident and booze is found well....
Doctors still have to stick to the patient confidentiality codes. I mean they're not going to report someone for Thrush now are they? . Hehehehe that would be the icing on a crappy day, the doctor gives you the mad news, you are at home scratching away and the CID bust down your door. But I don't b...
Let's just stop all this rubbish and get one thing clear - the world would be nothing without Scottish inventions!! Name a country that has contributed more to the developed world!! :wink: , radar, ..to name but a few...I rest my case! 8) AHHHH HAAAA so you're the bastard that is to blame for me pa...
not to jack this thread but do you know what frequency in the KA band is used here? I don't believe there are and X, K or Laser traps/cameras here are there?
You guys are missing the obvious, since you are relatively close and your company has drivers, who probably would be happy to earn lets say AED 200/month to take you back and forth,
hmmm this is interesting and explains something I'll need to check out. A friend of mine was saying when she switched to the new cards ($25/$40) it seemed to run out considerably faster than the old ones.
