Dubai Forums

Hi there, We moved out here from Berkshire last year. A couple of things that come to mind is that it can be very stressful settling out here and the first two months were especially so for us. The more preparation you can make before coming out here the better. So it may be more prudent for you to...

Cars sold with (goodwill) warranty? Well, pigs do fly!

Please do tell more!

There is Du, which is worse. The two companies divide up areas among themselves, like gangs do.

If you can hold out until the end of the year then wait for the Shopping Festival, itll be well worth it!

Not really.

There is absolutely no shortage of places selling white goods. I think you guys are giving the newbie the impression that there are only 2 appliance stores in this desert village.

My friend quit a small-time company within a month of getting a 3-year residence visa, and even argued with the boss. Surprisingly, they didn't ban him, but made him work to cover visa costs (6K apparently). Bans by companies are purely out of spite.

I bought something. I saved and paid it off in cash. The mortgage rates here are rip-offs. My place has gone up in value and I make 10% rental income. Simple as that. The bubble has been set to burst every year since 2005, according to wannabe "experts" who want to get their company names ...

That comment about expats wasting water was really stupid. Some of us "poor" expats actually use less because we PAY for it. We expats are not the ones trying to grow a green forest in the middle of the desert.

Whoah... never have I been more glad that I don't smoke Shisha in public. Out of mere curiosity, can I ask on a scale of 1 to 20 how much fulfillment people get out smoking Shisha. I've never ever been tempted by smoking cigarettes or cigars and I suppose was forced into Shisha, its incredibly rela...

Everything is allowed at Jumeirah Beach until someone complains.

Haha! That's hilarious. It could apply to anything!

Never been to either place, but isn't Hard Rock Cafe a straightforward restaurant owned by Sulayem?

I am cheaper. My only drink at any restaurant is Pepsi for Dhs 1. And I don't complain if some places charge Dhs 10 for a can. Rich people whine about everything because they think they're better than everyone else.

I had this vague idea about the design being a beer company logo, but then it still doesn't make sense.

I heard the same thing from courier-service employees.

Never touched the stuff. Sad to see people running out of buildings just to light up. Like having to pee or something.

Heck, even AGMC don't have a clue when it comes to fixing beemers - and they're the agents! I turned the center console air control to cold air only and took my car in and complained that when you turn the a/c controls to 30 it would still only have freezing cold air coming from the center vents.

i started smoking when i was 14 or 15, i used to hang around with the " wrong croud" as u put it. i quit at 20 a person talked some sence in to me, i havent somked for almost 3 years now. Well done. I hate those people who say smoking is okay because my cousin's uncle's grandfather's neph...

Is the new G35 available now? I went to the Nissan / Infiniti showroom and all they have is the M45. Also is the 2007 G35 Coupe also released in Dubai? What are the prices for both the sedan and coupe G35? Well, I drove the sedan in January. Must be sold out. http://www.drivearabia.com/infiniti/inf...

0, except choco in my dream-on list, and sage in my nightmares list, and liban in my funeral list, and kanelli in my environmentalpatientlist, and sniper in my retarded list, and arnie in my old people list, and hp in my dumb paki people list and mac in my super model list. You want to meet Bushra.

Nope, new shape is 2008, although it will come here much later.

I am about to buy a 2007 Ford Mustand California Edition and the insurance company wants over 10% of the car value for the first year which is ridiculous

Damn, who are those losers who want 10%?

In the short: Car purchased from them: 2005 X5 4.8is Kms xxx "Balance of dealer warranty" etc By their definition "balance of dealer warranty" = AGMC 'should' fix anything that would have been covered by a dealer warranty under "goodwill". If not, then "balance of...

You buy it.

The usual rule is if they think you drove over a footpath to get to the sand, you damaged RTA property.

I'm from London, you could call me a westerner if you like. I can't make out anything coherent about that title. I can't think how the title chooser could ever have been deliberating lucidly. And I don't have a clue what sort of merchandise that place would be vending. The Kage is Clueless... :? :?...

Dude, just stay wherever you are. The hassle isn't worth it.

Haha! I never knew about this kind of scheme/scam. Thanks.

The child from the divorce may be an issue, because if they felt like it, they'll ask where the other parent is. Rules are not clearcut here.
