Thank you for your quick answer. What about the fact that it's a diesel car? Any problem with pollution standarts? Regarding service, I should manage to find a non official dealer to make the main things on it... I mean I like this car because I own it for a long time that's why I try to do this. O...

Having said all of the above, I do 'round up' and I do give the car wash guys a little more - but that's it.

You tip the car wash guys at Emarat/Eppco? There are like 10 of them working on each car.

YOu want to leave deadpulse.com?

I don't get it. How would they charge more after a 20% discount?

See www.gulfnews.com classifieds section

Which company? I have come across many dubious ones.

Satwa seems to have more stories of car vandalism and of street kids beating up random people.

My experience of closure :) went to DEWA near wafi city, reached at 8 20 am, entered the consumer billing department , enquired if this is the right place for final settlement and refund - answer yes time 8 23. Got a token, the number was immediately displayed. The lady asked for the documents. pro...

You missed it man! It was awesome!

Satwa seems to have more stories of car vandalism and of street kids beating up random people. Really? :shock: :shock: You'll have to scan thru old issues of Gulf News, including letters and such. And well, yesterday there was the story of a girl getting slashed in the face in Diyafah. Tiny tabloid...

Dhs 7k for just a room seems excessive for a building with no amenities. All you're paying for is the location, it seems. Complete 1-bed flats in all-new International City are going for 50k a year.

What people do is give post-dated cheques, split into two or more cheques.

high school teachers get paid around 1500 dhs to 3500 [400 to 950 usd] dhs max in a well paying school per month As dxbsoul says, that's low. A range of 1000-15,000 dhs is more accurate, top schools may pay a bit more. Western international english speaking schools are 5k-15k. Indian/Arabic schools...

Ok - you only get the 20% discount on calls to your nominated country. But in order to get that privilege you then pay more for normal calls in the UAE and more for SMS's in UAE and internationally. It would only work if you were calling one country all the time. A normal call is now 24 fils per mi...

That article reinforced the stereotype.

Where is Al Diyafah then? I assumed it is Diyafah street in Satwa.

For people against the toll, I suggest you do some digging on Dubai government finances. Although Dubai is full of very wealthy people, with few taxes the government hsa a big problem in that it has 1.3m people to take care of (indeed, counting the commuters probably much more) but actually not tha...

I went through an Arabic forum that was talking about the Chevy TrailBlazer. Somehow Google translated the Arabic-written TrailBlazer to Solvent Extractor.

if you don't like the accommodation emirates give you, you can always crash with me in dubai marina... god, i can't believe i just thought that - i need to find a new girlfriend, this desperation is starting to show! I know a large hairy former truck driver called Bubba from Alabama who needs a pla...

Seriously out of pocket? Hehehe.

Forget that. Where do babies come from?

hahahaha .... is that a cheque book in your pocket or are you just happy to see me

I'm just happy to see you.

To reduce travel costs, one could use a Toyota Yaris. A Segway doesn't have the range or the a/c.

I bought a place. They only tell you the actual maintenance cost near completion. Very high too, but better than paying rent. Since I paid all of flat cost up front, I have no payments to worry about.

Signing a petition presumably won't free him though.

How do you know the "Army of Islam" isn't browsing the net looking for petitions that mention them?

thats why muslim countries are full of GAY :lol: . They make u complete Gay . :lol: HP I think you are wrong on that one. Being gay is illegal in Dubai, they are arrested, executed and deported thereofore there are no gays in dubai. Ian will confirm. Dubai does not follow any policy of deportation ...

Karama rox. I grew up there and I'm still there.

I have a buddy who got a civilian job with the AD military. So he went to Kish for the visa change. He rotted there for a week and then went to his home country.
