Thats what I like about AD - the avenue of trees as you come into town. I am kind of nauseated by big developments now. I am sure not everyone feels the same as me but after you have seen one you have seen them all. I miss woodlands, valleys and some green fields - no one can do it better then mothe...

The battle between good and evil will always be there. We cannot blame our environment or society per say for the evil that we do. Because it is people that make society. Society is not an individual in itself. Your chocolate example is not free from error. Just because there are temptations all ar...

Fear in any form cannot result in a lasting solution to any problem. Creating a fear of hell and punishment can only work for a short time.On the contrary one should strive to realise the fact that none of the external objects, persons and actions can give lasting happiness. Everything lasts only f...

I agree as well - there have only been links and a one line description from what I have seen.

You may have got mixed up with some others who do post a load of copy and paste jobs in this section.

My Corrado VR6 which I was obsessed with for several years. It roared and was the most fun car I have ever owned.

Sorry, but this is a load crap. Addiction is very a complex condition and addictive behavior can manifest for a multitude of complex reasons. Most commonly it is a response to avoid pain (both physical and emotion pain) or the neural conditioning of pleasure association (food, sex, drugs, tv, intern...

I just don't get SA. It's a weird place.

I still cannot get over the story of the girls dieing in a burning school building because the religious police would not let them out without wearing an abaya.

Cool post fayz - they just ain't made of the same stuff as our generation though. According to today's regulators and bureaucrats, those of us who were kids in the 60's, 70's and early 80's probably shouldn't have survived, because our baby cots were covered with brightly coloured lead-based paint w...

I wander how shafique is getting on, if you read this buddy a big hello to you.

A good man whom won my respect even though we disagreed on some points.

tell me one fuckin thing tht he did for thw world other than to attck afganistan in the name of terrorism attacked iraq saying saddam had biological weapons where the hell are they wht he wanted were the oil reserves of iraq thts it hes a flithy greedy man thts wht he is He managed to wound himself...

The professors email was far to harsh and was no way to conduct communications with a student. But one thing I have noted she is numerous statements about missing her 'parents' and wanting to come home but her 'parents' will not let her. So did she lie about her father dieing? If so this casts a dif...

I was just checking out ADSL and prices in the UK.

For 220 Dhs you can get a 20MB non restricted connection - thats the same price I pay for a flaky, restricted 1MB connection with itsalot.

To be honest others may have a different opinion, but I have a 1MB connection and I often have to hit pause to allow youtube videos to get enough cache to be able to play without stopping to download more.

This mainly happens in the evening when the internet is more busy.

One thing I have noted is that in a lot of shops the staff ask for 1 or 2 dhs so they can give you your change in notes. A couple of time recently I have been asked for a 1 or 2 dhs on amounts like 39 as change for a 50 and been giving 11 dhs back (1 ten note and 1 dhiram coin, probably the same one...

Another retarded block. The /user part of youtube has been blocked since this morning. This link was always handy as when you see a video you like you can click on the username and then see other videos posted by that user. Obviously this worries itsalot greatly as people could use it to contact oth...

Its the a censored copy made specially for the middle east so i recommend u guyz to get the American or the British copy......................

Was there much of the film left?

Probably the same reason I sometimes try to pick up the TV remote with my feet.

I can only really speculate on the industry I know well which is telecoms. Now I know that a lot of Europeans (and US & Canadian) will tell a company what to do with a job offer if they can make more money back home without the stresses of Dubai. They just won't accept as there is a lot of work ...

No medical (is this really good). I mean what should I expect from this company as a minimum, standard. I believe it is part of the employment law that employees should provide medical insurance. To be honest I would not give up your life in Australia to come to Dubai for that much. Dubai is not th...

Sorry I have to come in again. Mate - really don't accept this. With two kids and a wife to support you will really struggle paying for accommodation, schooling, transport, food, bills. It may not be to bad a salary for a single guy - but you will be leaving yourself and your family financially to t...

What license do you hold at the moment?

By the time this reaches Dubai half the film will be cut out, it's pretty gory.

I have seen a lot of outdoor workers wearing them (for protection), but what about an expat just walking round town or the mall?

Another couple of drinks does the job fine.

Did you buy the book in Dubai?

I had loads of issues with a Siemens modem that itisalot gave me.

I re flashed it and witnessed a big improvement right away, so they may well cap certain protocols in the firmware.

I did not bother to read this before, under the premise of believing it may be a David Icke type theory, portraying how the new world order is a bloodline of lizards who are trying to take over the world. However having taking time to read the article it is a good read and well put. 9/11 was a false...
