1-LEARN HOW TO TYPE FASTER USING MORE FINGERS THAN TWO (in english of course) ... Use a software typing package on your computer - I learnt with "Typing Tutor" which was fine. I've seen better ones though. Switch the lights off when you practice so you can't see the keys. Or cover your ha...

Watch the material if you get one made up (or buy one). You may find anything with polyester in it is too hot. 100% cotton is good for shirts. Cotton/linen or wool (summer weight of course) probably good for suits. Remember though, you're likely to be in a fridge most of the day with typical office ...

The British Council (near Maktoum Bridge) have courses.

the thing is, i can't NOT look at the key board while typing!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and I use two fingers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's why you need to do something so you don't have the choice. A typing program will teach you how to use all your fingers. I went from two to all easily enou...

... or ask at one of the computer course places if they do typing courses. All they'll do is sit you in front of a computer with a typing program though. But some people find it better in a classroom type situation.

Liban, I totally agree with what you say. As I (and you) have said, the Arab leaders are willing to go for a 2-state solution and recognize Israel. This was rejected. No it wasn't, at least not right away, it was overshadowed by the contribution from Hamas in Netanya which they later claimed was de...

I'd suggest Dermacare in Jumeirah. Tel 04-3420088.

So if we "considered this is our land... will we have it??? :wink: Yes, if you have the biggest guns :? ... Remember the Christian crusaders conquered Palastine for 80 years to establish their Kingdom of Heaven, muslims were only able to regain Palastine when they were able unite..in this case...

Here's the thing: I'm a divorced mom and feel a bit uncertain about moving myself and my son there as a single female. I don't speak Arabic, and I'm not Muslim. Would I be safe? Am I at any risk of being chastised as I'm a mother with no husband? Am I basically sentencing myself to permanent single...

Good grief! The phrase "Seek and you shall find" comes to mind. If you want to search for extremist comments, you'll find them. What was the point? For every comment like that from Jews, you can find one equally inflammatory against them and/or the west. Ahmadinijad (or however you spell i...

They weren't married when they were caught.

I can't imagine the police here firing at someone unless there was serious provocation. My guess is there's more to this story than reported.

If muslims said anything remotely close to what the Zoinist said about Muslims and Arabs..especially muslims leader or muslim Sheikh.. they would be criticized, threatened with invation, called biggots, etc...but when Isreal leaders and Rabbis call for the extrimnation of Arabs and muslims, call Ar...

EK (Emirates) bonuses are based on their profit and tend to be quite good. There's worse packages around. And better. You'll be able to save half if you live conservatively and drive a 3 year old Toyota Corolla. Or none if you go out several times a week and get a loan to pay for an expensive car. T...

You bloody bloody fibber you - i reckon you have faked that :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: I reckon it might be doable. If I added my best score for each section, it wouldn't be far off that. My problem is the dog. It's not very realistic. In real life it would either move or be a slight bump. Anyway, Peu...

There's a peugeot here but it has a small problem with dogs...

Studios AED 20k to 50k per year.
Peugeot what? Probably 10k to 80K to buy.

Like C said, you're better off with this.

What ? "ho"?

to be honest what i need is girlfriends, as all mine are in england. So all the blokes reply. Funny :mrgreen:. I must remember to say I'm an 18 year old female whenever I have a question (not sure if the British bit is worth extra points though :wink: ). Get a copy of Timeoutdubai and look in the b...

Yes, especially if you find unsecured private networks.

Is all the rent paid per year instead of per month there?..and cant i just rent a car instead of buying it..im negociating my contract now thats why i need to estimate how much do i need.... tx 1. Depends on the type of accommodation . 2. Yes. Probably a good idea for the first few months anyway ti...

People express their views and base their stance on either their "culture " or "religion". Sorry, but that's crap. It adds "authority" to an opinion. Instead of insulting me, you're insulting my religion and/or culture and then it's easier for me to criticise your opin...

Wish I owned a flock of studios in Jumeirah.

Expect rents to continue upwards or at least stay static until perhaps mid-next year.

When we visited K and Shaf the other week i was gobsmacked at how many empty props there were in the springs Several years ago (1996 or so?) there was a significant surplus of accommodation in Dubai. Rents did drop slightly but only slightly and only for a year or so. Landlords seemed to prefer to ...

nice 1 bed appartment nice area say 5k -8k Dhs month You sure? Perhaps we have different ideas of what "nice" means. My guesses are (add 5-10k for average, I'm giving minimum): 1 bdrm Greens 70k+ per year. 1 bdrm Bur Dubai or Lamcy 50K+ (and I think it would be pretty hard to find one for...

thanks for that. what about any social work / counselling agencies for ex-pats? i appreciate your take on the subject. thanks for your time :) There's counselling services in Dubai that might be worth investigating. Search a directory, if you post any names you find here, you might get comments fro...

Ok, I'll have a go at answering your questions TZ. If they were rhetorical then, ... um ... , you can ignore them :shock: So perhaps the thing I still don’t understand is how and why people get so upset and angry that a person is acting in a way they don’t personally believe in. Maybe someone can he...
