I think that many cab drivers are really dangerous but the most dangerous drivers are still the women I think because well as I know from myself I still tend to some times during driving I might wanna arange my hair or put on some more gloss or anything. or just see if I look ok. because of this tr...

BbRovers is right. Loan recovery agents hire hoodlums who harass you so damn bad - people take the extreme step of committing suicide even. Who can you run to? You can't go to the authorities coz you're on the run - and this is what they take advantage of. Citibank for example is well known for suc...

Agreed the banking system is stupid and not favourable towards customers - but hey - it IS their money. what would you do if someone took a loan from you? wouldnt you panic if you found out the person is not in a position to pay you back for months/years or has run away??? They were stupid by grant...

Mr. Thiab was sitting in a Costa Coffee Shop in the Ibn Battuta mall, where most of the customers seemed to be single men sitting alone, dolefully drinking coffee at midday. If he fails to find a job, he will have to go to Jordan, where he has family members — Iraq is still too dangerous, he says —...

How does police boycott a company? If the company is getting robbed or is burning down, the cops won't show up?

I hear from my Indian "junior-staffer" friend that Lamprell cut 60 Brit execs. Then he himself got fired. He hasn't been paid or gone to work for the past month. They will cancel his JAFZA visa at the end of this month and 'deport' him the same day. Being a typical Indian, he doesn't even ...

It's a sad situation and everybody is effected in one way or another. This is not a short-term issue, this could go on for years. Nawhh!!! That's highly pessimistic missy!

After many years, I was just flashed doing 'almost' 120 kph on a 4-lane(!) highway that changes from 120 to 80 in the space of a few metres. I was in the 80 zone, and driving some other company's car. What's the penalty?

I am thinking 700 at most and no points?

If you pay approx. 4000 dirhams you paid of your fine and total of 30 days inpoundment. For a sales rep. thats not more than your monthly bonus. Easy, right? Hope your not in property brokerage ;) You are assuming everyone in sales gets paid "western" salaries. 4k could be his entire sala...
