Tsk ! Is your plate no I70036???

Yes

Need to borrow 6550 AED?

I'll play the "wastaa" card and not have to pay it.

Wow!! They dont allow for very dark film there at all then. Now is that only for the front doors of a car or for rear doors and back glass too? I would imagine that V-Kool is used quite a bit there then for their very good heat rejection properties. Actually, a lot of rich or naive people still sti...

If it were a British takeover...the Forum would be pink on the map, have a working legal system, efficient railroad network and we would all have passports valid anywhere in the world with minimum visas!

Totally agree Ian. After my text from Salik telling me i was down to 16 Dhs, i immediately recharged at Emarat. It took 4 days to process and credit my account. They havent even got an efficient payment "on line" system at gas stations. A form in duplicate is filled in and only cash is ac...

Only the BMW is somewhat reliable, compared to the other two turds.

crap i had a bmw 750 and now i have an A8

I have now seen the light and realise what a bunch of crap BMW produce.

Audis are nice on the surface, but no one has had anything but bad luck with them out of warranty.

Well maybe so, but looking at the biggest sponsor deals made in 2007 are all companies from UAE. so the interest is there. This does not have to be the interest of motorsport but the interest for the power of advertising via motorsport. We are now offering a documentary program for television. A 6-...

Sadly, all manual sports cars do.

They do have women in their own country. The thing is, they are not allowed to bring their women here with them. Minimum salary cap and all.

That would still be bearable if they could stop staring at your girl like a starved jackal stares at a steak. We caught a pack once surrounding a girl who was alone in the pool, until her boyfriend - a rather big guy - showed up and they all fled like, you guessed it, jackals. (quote taken from ano...

It is a fact that every man and woman will check out another man or woman they find attractive. It can be a beautiful face or beautiful body, whatever! I've double-taken a look at handsome men or beautiful women in dishdashas and abayyas. I completely agree that taking a look should be discreet and...

Where is this pool in which random groups of men can freely enter? I'd like to go there.

Wild Wadi. And where did anyone mention anything about it being free?

When did I talk about Wild Wadi? I am talking about the swimming pool mentioned in earlier posts in this thread.

And don't forget that in the West men and woman are allowed to mix freely and they also consume alcohol. It has been well established that rape is a violent crime about domination and aggression, not necessarily about s.e.x.u.a.l gratification. Basically, the fact that women are physically weaker i...

Get used to the high life.

Nicely put Shaf... Interestingly, Dubai Municipality have instigated a team tasked with visiting all the malls in Dubai and removing any images or window decoration that is deemed to be outside the moral and cultural mores of the UAE. In the mall by my office, there are some highly provocative imag...

Is there a necessity for a maid ..thats the real question? If there is, then its a matter of trust and respect on both sides. Its for both side responsilbity to work it, though one can not erase the issue of theft on the hand and maltreatment on the other. One needs to have that so called intuition...

Could cold be the reason?

Ever guess your puff killed them? No dead pigeons around my place. And they have nests on my window a/c.

MeBank's lowest account type is zero-balance, and they charge 15 bucks a month for it. Their next higher account type has no charges, and a Dhs 5000 minimm balance.

I wonder how many companies will use the train as labour transportation, if it is cheap enough.

Does Good Living deal with the major issues of today?

I think the majority of users will be labourers living in squalour in Al Nahdha, working in sweat shops in Jebel Ali and spending 2 hours a day sleeping in the carriages to and from work. At least it may take some of the buses carrying labourers off the roads. I have always wondered why they have b...

What? You Russian?

I don't know why some people get upset at such rules. Perhaps in their culture they feel they must cover completely (as far as I know the Quran does not say that women must cover completely), but in Dutch and UK cultures it is not okay to obscure your face which hides your identity. A headscarf doe...
