Telling me how to post and what to think is what I'm referring to. sharewadi, Here is a link to what Corcovado was talking about. htt...

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, here's the same story on English Al Jazeera as far as I can tell. Both Arabic and English versions are talking about 6 people died from a cluster bomb explosion. I don't follow the reference to games and stationery in the Al Ittihad Arabic story though. Are the police saying the claim is nonsens...

Shirt and tie (and trousers). Jacket probably not necessary unless at management level or sales. Short sleeves ok but I always think it looks odd with tie. Pure cotton is better than polyester/cotton mix. Ask bank what their dress code is to get answer on polo shirts. You can buy clothes here too :s...

and you can only get a uae passport if someone (father) is local, or mum (if parents are divorced)..or through marriage....i dont know if i should mention here how to go about not giving up your current nationality however. Depends how anonymous you think you can stay, and how much wasta you have i...

Same report on Al Jazeera. But that's a bit off-topic no?

Search for Little Johnny. Probably C for teachers and B for students.

Not really 'off topic' seeing as we were talking about 'news stories'. I thought we were talking about news about Lebanon/Hizbullah/Israel conflict? Where has everyone gone? I'm still curious about the bit in the article I didn't understand clearly. Surely there's someone who can do a better job of...

hmm fayz the goverment was put with a hugely popular resistance, and Iran - next to lebanon- has the most democratic system in the middle east. So it has to be what the majority of iranians want. :shock: :!: What was the number of candidates prevented from running in the last election? About 3000? ...

I understood that UAE citizens were restricted from having other nationalities. It might vary depending on the reason for nationality. As a generalisation, a nationality obtained by right (country of birth, parents nationality) is a lot "stickier" than a nationality obtained by choice (eg ...

It seems like many of the VOIP services have stopped - Skype included.

I remember reading something a few months ago about some software that Etisalat had purchased which could detect and block VOIP traffic. Looks like they got it working. Will be interesting to see if DU duse it too.

What do mean you're with the DIC?? Is that a seperate ISP? Im on al shamil. Sort of. It still uses Etisalat plumbing. The ISP is called TECOM no? Al Shamil is the type of connection - DSL as opposed to dial up. There's another topic 'Vonage' with similar issues and a link to a useful topic on the v...

Don't assume you can use VoIP at present - there's two other current topics on the subject. One titled Vonage and the other Skype.

What was the number of candidates prevented from running in the last election? About 3000? I would rate that as much less democratic than Palestine, Kuwait, Israel, Lebanon, Egypt. 2300 were disqualified by the Guardian Council in the 2004 elections according to the BBC. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/...

( this is not a scam) That's good. Thanks for reassuring us. I'm guessing you have something to do with hotmail from your email address. So hotmail are now in the Maldives construction industry? Wow! That must be very exciting. I can't wait to hear more about that. Is it a big secret then? I haven'...

long answers here.

Sorry for the length of this post. I've typed out answers to most of that already somewhere (so have others). You'll get more useful stuff if you make it obvious you had a good look first.

It's quite a popular choice, especially if you don't have money or insurance to cover American or Welcare hospitals.

Ok, perhaps I should have worded that differently. About a third of the nominees were prevented from running by the Guardian Council - which is not a democratically appointed body - because they were too pro-reformist.

$40,000,000 is 4 times the 2005 profit for the Bank of Maldives Mr Thoriq so I think it's a joke, but that's just my opinion and I've been wrong before. avasmail.com.mv seems to be a Maldivian email portal. Not sure how that's related to the construction industry either. Anyway, thank you for your g...

Congratulations . Weren't you looking at another school a while ago? Queen Int?

Thanks for your time. I have looked on this site today for the first time, and as of yet I have found nothing that actually answers my specific questions. As this is an English expatriate forum website I was ideally hoping for a little more understanding. It is extremely hard to make decisions rega...

My plan is to let her know that she needs to decide about whether she WANTS to get over him and then I'd be happy to help her and I'm sure I can charm her slowly. Or she decides she does not want to get over him and I'll leave her alone... Any thoughts are appreciated - Thanks Do you want her to be...

I've seen a Regent School (Indian primary school?) and a Regent International School - UK curriculum, K-12, IB. Don't know if they're the same. King school is primary only? Was supposed to be the best (British) school in Dubai when originally set up. I think they have an affiliation with one of the ...

Really

I got the impression that Regent had a more international feeling than King's, which seemed more British. No sure if I am right. Any thoughts? Makes sense. RIS offers IB no? That's a good indication a school is more international in its outlook. AFAIK, King School was intended to be a British schoo...

The problem is Etisalat plan to launch their own VoIP service later this year, and Du is also going to be pushing VoIP services next year. Now, they don't want any nasty competition for these services if they're going to offer their own do they? How can they possibly launch VOIP? It's illegal to us...

The laziest thing to do is not to bother - you still have car in your name and visa in Abu Dhabi. If you transfer to wife name, you need to export from Abu Dhabi to Dubai and she re-registers it in Dubai. Yes, I think there's companies that do it - I've seen adverts in paper. If you bought car at co...
