I don't get why people get so picky about someone complaining about Dubai. I mean come on - are you telling me people don't moan about London, Paris or New York on a daily basis. I assure you as someone who grew up in London, the daily chorus consists of 'dam traffic, dam traffic wardens, dam buses,...

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. Very true - to be honest my two showers a day and filling the kettle for a cup...

I must say out of all the developments and type of architecture in Dubai - the burj is habibi, really stunning.

I used to be able to do Oud Metha (Wafi city / American Hospital) to RAK in just under an hour.

You also go against the main traffic flow which is a bonus.

I would say it's no issue. There are lots of existing business ties already, Haliburton are setting up shop and Israel the UAE and Saudi are allies in the making against the big, bad presence of Iran. Give it few more years and Dubai will be as much Kosher as it is Habibi. - Dam, I love posting from...

lol iI remember studing A-Level History, and how the americans were so scared of the Communists. From the whole Cuba, Kennedys killing, to Vietnam. Americans at that time were scared of the commies, suspicious of EVERYONE. and this is happening to them again. this time with a religion that scares t...

The Central Banks of most countries are government owned so your argument doesn't stand up. I think you will find it does…. How about starting with the worlds most powerful? The Federal Bank of the USA which came into effect in 1913 as the Federal Act. This was signed by President Woodrow Wilson (w...

As for the long discourse on the Federal Reserve, a bunch of quotes from nearly 100 years ago isn't exactly scientific. From my reading on politics, economics and business, the biggest worry is the stranglehold a relatively small number of corporations hold over the world economy, the central bank'...

Just use uknova.com and save yourself some money and hassle.

I used to set up all the programs I wanted and then watched them on TV using an s-video lead.

Claims are backed by Federal Reserves web site. The website describes a bank that operates like any other national bank! There is nothing sinister about it. You seem to be arguing that by lending money to the US government they are making a mint, but if they borrow money to the government any exces...

Monk - get ready for many different replies to come flying out. Some will say 'yes, its the law' others will say 'don't be daft it's fine'. So whatever you hear, your going to need to make your own decision on the matter. I spent sometime trying to dig out the law on un-wedded couples living togethe...

It was an old story you mean.

Agree with Chocs that all that is written by man is flawed. I personally do not believe in any 'Quran code' etc. However, one point to bear in mind concerning the Quran - it claims to be the literal word of God and is primarily an Oral revelation - the writing down of it is to make it portable, but...

Hiya folks - good to be back occasionally. Currently on business in Turkey - in historic Istanbul. Had a little time on my hands and thought I'd check out the old haunt of Dubai Forums! Scot - Sanskrit of the Hindu scriptures is not widely spoken and is largely only known by scholars and a few pock...

Interesting fact with Turkey - when (and it looks quite likely) Turkey joins the EU, Europe will be neighbors with Iraq, Iran, Syria and Georgia.

One sure way to prevent rape outside of marriage is to limit the occasions that men and women are together alone in situations which could lead to s.exual relations. There will be no disputes about consent etc. I see - just like Saudi Arabia or Afghanistan during the taliban? Good examples they are...

Scott, Religous people do not have the monopoly on morality and chastity - but generally, religion teaches people to be chaste and moral. It is a choice that anyone can choose to make - whether to sleep around or wait for marriage - religion is irrelevant here, for whilst all religions teach chasti...

Hmmm. methinks you lot need a few years in Kuwait or Saudi to soften you up a bit. You'd call Dubai Heaven then. Already have. I used to work in Kuwait and I know it as well as the back of my hand so it has nothing to do with softening up buddy, I have seen more of the world then maybe not all, but...
