:roll: loser i know. next time maybe you is winner. MAC would be great if you tell us where you are from. Take it from a non-English European, England is number one in many fronts. so tell us where you are from and we can compare. Or is it easier not to? pack is stan Ok - we might be able to work w...

I would happily swap with you for santa cruz - lovely part of the world.

Oh this is just such a joke - I was on the site yesterday as I saw the article on the gulf news website discussing if it should be banned. A majority of the comments were no as most use it as a way of contacting friends or families. Etisalat and TRA are just backward buffoons - why not just block th...

He also makes a good mess of the studio;

No one reads safety labels here.

I think thats the point

Well looks like big brother will give you all a helping hand with your addiction very soon;

I swear by Volkswagen's but I have only ever driven European models (Golf, Corrado and a Passat).

Anything German you can't go to far wrong with.

I don't no much about the gulf aspect of owning one, but I know the car itself is a lot of fun, they are also very reliable from my experience (there are a lot of them on the European roads). I had one in the UK for about two months (the Cooper S) when I first got in the car I thought 'what a horrib...

I think restaurants are not for kids (particularly in the evening) - specially not toddlers or misbehaved one. It is incosiderate for other dinners many of whom got a babysitter themselves so they can enjoy an evening at a quiet restaurant. There is a place and a time for everytthing... I agree wit...

On 30K DHS a month you be fine. The average wage is about 8-9k.

Well the Media is no help thats for sure. Every time I watch the news there is normally 2-3 stories on Islamic fundamentalists (london bombings, red mosque in pakistan). Now the reality is very different - there are millions of Muslims who are peaceful and just want to get on with their life's and d...

I think you have to look at the whole picture here. For instance DXB has only really been the busy financial hub that it is today over the past 10 to 15 years. Prior to this it was a small community (compared to other countries) of nationals. Now there is a lot of money around and it's one of the to...

Feeling like you don't make much money;

Check this out and you will be suprised how well of you are.

Here in Blghty and espin Gov't, local Gov't and large Corp Industry there is this thing called "jobs for the boys". Its no different to a UAE local being given preferential treatment. To be fair though 'jobs for the boys' or what school tie you had only really applies to a small fraction ...

I want to rephrase 'Islamic fundamentalists' to 'Islamic extremists'.

Islamic extremists and very far from fundamental.

Has anyone shipped from the Dubai to the UK?

I have a three piece sofa set they I would like to keep on to. Obviously if the price of the shipping costs equal far greater then the cost to buy a new one in the UK, i won't be to bothered going ahead.

Cheers in advance.

It is actually true.

I was speaking with a friend who works in sales. His company is going for the contract to build Falcon shaped cable cars which will be used to transport people to and from the bubble city.

I thought it was meant to be above 50 degrees mosts days out here around July / August. Or are they not here yet.

So far some of Europe is experiencing higher temperatures then we are here.

Yup its all part of the vision dude.

Well here is one of the best ways I have found (unless you have someone willing to share a slingbox hosted in the UK). Best of all, it's free. Basically, you need to sign up and then look for the torrent you want and then start downloading. When you first join you have to wait for 16 hours from the ...

I don't get why the TRA has the proxy in place for Etisalat but not DU? Whats that about - are the TRA and Etisalat the same thing?

To the original poster;

You need to route via a proxy.

This looks to be an airline industry poll.

Does it go beyond airline questions? - if not, sorry but don't really have the time to sift through loads of questions (I get enough of these on planes).

No P fayz. They seem to be under the 'ok' from the stations. Namely because the do not transmit at the same time (real time, steaming) and they also have a policy that if the shows are released on DVD they remove them from the site. So to summarize; The TV stations don't see this as any different to...

I did not know Borat had been in Dubai.

I LOVE MONGOLIAN WOMAN, BUT I NOT FIND IN DUBIA, PLS HELP!!! NEED TO FIND OUTAR MONGLOLIAN FIMALE FOR WIFE!!

I understand FF's defensiveness as locals can be easily (and way unfairly) stereotyped but I also support the fact made by Dr D that the professional experience of western expats is still very much needed here - *not* because they are better educated or more intelligent, but for the simple reason th...

Starzel2004 - there is racism in Dubai, but is largely pointed at Asians (which is wrong, but they way it is).

As a black (man or women) I can assure you that you will have no problems, I know some local emirates who are black (which is from the close distance to Africa I believe).

Center of the world is a bit of drastic forecast - but it will possibly become one of the worlds big destinations and join the new yorks, paris, london, stockhom, brussels of this world.

I was in Abu Dhabi yesterday - has anyone seen there plans, looks like they want to 'up one' on Dubai.
