Competitions that give away cash prizes need to be Shariah compliant.

Failure to adhere to such compliance could result in... well, quite a lot of nastiness really.

Two Good Reads: 1. http://joshkaufman.net/personalmba/ 2. http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2007/04/nobs_the_end_of.html Says it all... twice. Is this not another reason to praise Dr. D? I was just thinking, I'm sure Seth Godin or Tom Peeters has something to say on these matters, and before ...

Possibly.

Sage you are quick to move posts just to show you can but despite requests you haven't move this thread to games :roll: Oh well... :banghead: Because it will probably not last, if it goes beyond 2 pages of favourite words, then I will move it, OK with you? Only ok if the "rule" is applied...

I'm struggling to work out what the iPhone can do that my Nokia can't...

but there's plenty my Nokia can do that the iPhone cannot, least of all MP3 and caller group ring tones.

I usually carry 200 - 300 dirhams, otherwise just a bundle of cards.

I don't have a UAE credit card. When I refer to cards, I mean my trusty Emirates Bank Debit Card.

Am halfway through watching season 1 and am actually enjoying it!

Who else is watching this show?

Don't think you'll have to worry about that shortly.

I'm struggling to work out what the iPhone can do that my Nokia can't... I know.... to impress your friends & colleagues ;) Being different than Nokia as millions people's phone. Er... owning an iPhone is not being different though is it? Apparently a million people will own one of them shortly...

Well, then he should PM me.

Completely false. I enjoyed an evening of Xbox Live just last night with friends from back home. Joined on line, paid on line. Connection isn't the best, but no lag. I think it depends on who you're with... Du or Etisalat. I'm with Du and experience no lag at all... but some friends on Etisalat say...

Dude, pretty sure the word Wasta was invented around these parts.

Is there a way around it.. are they just picking on me

They take your blood and X-Ray your chest.

No big deal.

Actually, I have pondered this before and noticed that some cars from the same 'franchise' (Car's Taxi for instance) can be spotted with all 3 different colours. Also some cars from two different franchises have the same colours. And then there's more than 3 franchises, but only 3 colours. Finally.....

OK, I rang the RTA and asked them.

There are more colours, there's also yellow and pink!

Question 30 is poorly worded, poorly structured and cumbersome to answer.

Many people will exit the survey at this point.

This looks to be an airline industry poll rather then living in the gulf region. Does it go beyond airline questions - if not, sorry but don't really have the time (as time is money :) ).

This Australian's perspective is at least we didn't lock him up in some no-mans land without legal representation or even communication, leave him rot for a couple of years, and then have some mickey mouse trial.

Andrews is just riding the wave of political hysteria though.

Sometimes Australians are as guilty of being naive as our US friends.

Better try another forum mate, it doesn't look like anyone here wants to help you.

I'll ask some golf addict friends of mine if they know a place and pm you if something turns up.
