well shar for the first time ever israel is getting hit on its own ground , for a month the Unconquerable army couldnt do anything to the resistance but kill the innocents, and destroy Lebanese infra structure and Hezbollah's missiles did not stop … I think in 1967, Israel won over Egypt, Syria and...

The most ridiculous thing anyone can do is to go on these liquor runs. In order to reach Dubai you have to come through Sharjah, if you are caught with liquor in your possesion (coming from Ajman or UaQ) in Sharjah you will be jailed and deported, it's as simple as that. I'm curious about that. Has...

They get blocked when Etisalat finds them.

mtnsm.com I think (must be correct - it's blocked now) was quite good.

I have been in Dubai for nearly six months now. I work for the Dubai Government, and the rules are: "REGARDLESS OF YOUR NATIONALITY, during your probation, which is 6 months, the Authority retains your passport for the whole period, and could only be handed in exceptional circumstances (emerge...

Plenty of people have been deported for this reason, not just the travelling wholesalers. How many is plenty? I've not heard of even one. Ah sorry, I have heard of one. But they were deported for reasons to do with husbands and wives getting themselves mixed up, and alcohol consumption rather than ...

Not everyone that is prosecuted and deported is reported in the local press, over the past 10 years I know of several people this has happened to. In any case the point is, why take these kind of chances?. I realise that and ok, fair enough if you know several people. I don't. As for why take the c...

dude thats a pron site!! Sorry :oops: :oops: :oops: It was a while ago since I used it so that was a bad guess. Maybe it's something like mtnsms or smsmtn. Or the domain got taken over. Google free sms would be sure to find something. I'd expect some of them will be spyware type sites like sms.ac t...

Actually, try this - sites are supposed to be checked by real people before being listed so may be more trustworthy.

MAY be more trustworthy - I see they've included sms.ac .

the f$#king Israelis left toys-like bombs to kill the babies and children :evil: :evil: :evil: i hate them, I HATE THEM ALL... i cant believe their guts , they are murderes , evil creatures :evil: :evil: That should aerate your spleen quite well :shock: . Where did you get this information? I can't...

Great answer

The best you can get over here is that Yellow Lipton s***!

Ahmad English tea is alright. You can get Twinings in Spinneys too.

Sniff?

Is that Eau de Trologne I catch a faint whiff of?

Anyone else having this problem. The site keeps logging me out whilst I'm composing posts and I keep having to log back in, it's really getting on my nerves! If you're on AOL or Etisalat poxy server (or many other similar ISPs), you'll get this problem - especially at busy times like evenings when ...

Like sharewadi said, you can use the "log me in automatically" check box but if you're using a public computer or are at an internet cafe, this is not recommended. All it does is save a cookie - if you delete them before leaving public computer, it'll be ok. Well, sort of. I guess someone...

Ok, I really am blind. I still don't see anything on Al Jazeera about the toy bombs .

Better Homes and Asteco are well-known and probably reputable (I've dealt with both myself and been happy with them).

Landmark seem to be ok too.

I was just trying to advise you for the best, it's just not worth it, but hey obviously some of you think that to take a chance and run the gauntlet for a few Dhs is fun. Good luck to you, me, I am not doing it.

Why sorry? I'm glad you did.

sage & onion wrote:We go through the Etisalat Proxy at work and I do not have this problem.

It depends on your IP. If it's static, it'll be fine. You'll still probably go through poxy though.

As I said before, i don't understand Arabic so don't watch al-jazeera so can't comment on whether they did link or not - but I am interested in hearing about why Chocs, Kanelli, Arnie etc have written that they do not approve of Al Jazeera - would their opinions change if it transpires that Al Jaze...

Ok, lost me but OK :lol: IP address is like a telephone number for the rest of the internet to communicate with your computer. Static means you have the same one all the time your connected. Etisalat's poxy keeps changing them while you're connected. Sometimes within seconds during busy periods. Th...

I gave myself a static IP address from the pool and tried it, I still had to keep logging back in.. I blame the php :P You mean company pool? Or Etisalat pool (I didn't think you could do that)? If company pool, then I presume that's only static internally and not what forum server sees via Etisala...

toy bombs, toy bombs? I hope that this isn't a reference to cluster bombs which are particularly nasty - but I have to say, I haven't heard any references on the news sources either. Corcovado mentioned it but hasn't come back with a reference. Come to think of it, haven't seen anything from her (o...

all the arabic channels reported the bombs that look like small toys , and now south lebanon and south beirut is full of them , Ah, you're still there. Good. Why won't aljazeera.com show the report then? Haven't seen it in Gulf News, 7days or Emirates Today. Surely they're not western controlled ar...

Israel may be brutal, but they're not going to do that.

I understood both sides had reservations about the ceasefire. Hizbullah said they'd keep attacking while Israeli soldiers were on Lebanese territory. Israel said they'd keep attacking until UN and Lebanese troops were in place in Southern Lebanon. I think it was worded a bit differently but that's h...

Yes according to some expats I know who live and work there.

I heard it's possible if you've lived here a long time (20+ years or so), become Muslim if you're not, and give up current nationality. Story came from expat who's been here 20+ years and was curious about it. Don't know where they got information from though.

Interesting report in the news today.

Something similar was in one of the local newspapers the other day too. An interesting analysis. Quite believable.
