correct me if I'm wrong - unlike the UK and other places, I dont think there is a law here that can get someone convicted on charges of animal cruelty yet, is there? Not heard of any cases.

uaekid, which paper did you get that from? Crappy GN says: 'The Dubai First Social Study' - conducted by The (CDA) and aimed at evaluating social needs and lifestyle - surveyed 2,561 households, including 714 Emiratis, 1,042 Asians, 148 westerners, 620 Arabs and 37 people without documents. Dont tel...

you sure the appeal was kicked out? so they stuck to the 10 year sentence??

michaeldubai

Yes, they brought in new laws last year. People can be fined 10,000 Dhs and face prison for causing unnecesary suffering to an animal. There is a division of Dubai Municipality that deals with it. So if DK had to directly report it to the relevant authority within the Municipality, instead of the p...

Seen the movie.

Nothing wrong in the film. Excellent movie.

Dont create ruckus and start unnecessary movements. You guy's sentiments are oversensitive. High time you'll grew up.

michaeldubai

First of all - clearly stated in the beginning of the film that it is a work of fiction. So you and your goons should get that through your thick head.

Geez Gulf News are crap! 7 Days had that angle of the story about 6 weeks ago! The court threw out his claim and jailed him anyway! read that a fresh appeal was made this Sunday 25th Jan. Strong lawyer maybe??? Hope that that lawyer also get thrown in with him for 10 years. They can run over each o...

been ages since I've been in a studio. with digi cams, all you need is a good printer and photographic paper. voila.

but back to your point on the studio, walk into the first one you come across. any one should do a good decent job - unless you're looking for some funky backgrounds

It doesnt mean that you can defame Hindu God's, will you tolerate it ? My friend - nobody - God or man was defamed. Majority of the people working in the film were Hindus. I am sure if they saw something offensive they would have objected, right? Also, knowing that there are oversensitive people an...

just dont ask me how.......but a few years ago, a friend downloaded the entire collection of asterix, tintin and even several DC comics from the internet. - pdfs

Highly possible. I heard their magic is so good, they can even make your money disappear.

well, just yesterday got the news that 3 close friends working for a consultant were laid off as a fallout of nakheel cancelling projects. have to wrap up within a month. From what I hear, a majority of people are going to leave at the end of the academic year. I definitely know that there is an abn...

I am wondering if it's worth moving to Dubai (from London) to find a job as a Flash/AS developer, or will I have to compete with Indians that will accept a 2K AED/ Month? :? err I think you have the wrong line of work. If you intend to compete with people who make 2K AED/month, you must be talking ...

bold move! excellent. something I always dream of - but can't yet because of commitments have to take care of....and am sure there are a lot of people in the same boat. One fact though - From other's experience and mine, the people who are the most well paid and have climbed up the ladder are the le...

hot and cold will not show a difference of 13psi! clearly one of the meters was wrong.. 45 seems too excessive though....I guess the one that showed the higher reading might have been defective.

I have heard lots of similar stories. Many of them take advantage of the fact that the expats can't read/understand arabic. Several months ago I had written a letter to KT on requesting the authorities to have information campaigns on how residents can recognize CID officers not in uniform and in un...

we, the french, we understand that some ladies hate us. most of time it's because they are ugly, or jalouse to not being well loved at home compared their beautiful friends who have recently experienced the french expertize. overconfident you? But I agree. We once worked with some french. damn lazy...

Sources said thousands of applications were rejected because of pressure from taxi agencies, who fear a reduction in the number of passengers if more permits are issued. Do you realize that this is an open admission of corruption? They come up with a law/rule and and then they bypass it because one...

Whats so cheerful in this?

All discounts by furniture shops. Who would invest in furniture when in danger of losing jobs and homes.

And what is this? > 50% discounts? Doubt they are selling in loss. Only proves how much profit margins they have.

honestly the worst drivers are indians. i mean driving 50km in the fast lane where the speed should be 120km and the cheek to brake when a car comes from the behind flashing. You took the words right outta my mouth.. spot on mate. I'm surprised banglaboy hasn't chipped in with his "constructiv...

The figures are way off mark in my industry too. The range in the doc is narrowed down. The lows can be as much as 50% lower and the highs - 50% higher. They do say that "figures may deviate from company to company" but surely not this much difference.

I was quite amazed reading the article too. One question: What is defined as a "residential area?" I have not yet seen any clearing zoning by the authorities. Practically every area has a decent mix of residential, commercial, education facilities. So how is one to know what is clearly dem...

Why on earth HSBC et all wouldn't let you pay off your debts with them using the funds in your account is beyond me. If you owe 50K and have 40K in the bank you still have to come up with the 50K?!?! Are they mental? Assuming this is true of course. Maybe keeping my cash in the mattress really is t...

I must add - with the funny policies they keep on coming up with regularly here, I always expect them to freeze accounts for no reason anytime.
