Dubai Forums

I guess I really started this thread because I wanted to know if there was any real reason not to drink the tap water. I don't see any of the previous statements providing anything but speculation as to why the water is unfit for human consumption. Most people have agreed it is perfectly safe to dr...

assuming of course that when the corrections happens that prices will go down. It is quite possible for the market to go through a correction with the prices not moving up, but not moving down.

Stagnantation in the investment market can be just as bad as prices going down.

I'm guessing your aircon doesn't have scrubbers?

Please point me to a development in Dubai that has gone down in price.

I predict Tony & Adam to meet in the final.

over supply, little demand (or rather demand that can afford the overpricing) = inevitable crash... ill put my money on 5 years. it is important to remember, current pricing is UNREALISTIC any which way you look at it. There are some slight issues with respect to your argument. 1. over supply and l...

That's a lot of black points.

From the article: "He added: “The accident was a combination of fog and people using their hazard lights. I only escaped with a bruise.” " What a total Deutsche Douche. How does using Hazard lights cause accidents? If anything it's to warn people of.... guess what... a HAZARD like 40 cars ...

There's actually some kind of weird obsession going on with drivers who use hazard lights when it is foggy like it is a bad thing. Not every car is equipped with fog lights, and I actually find it helpful to see the hazard lights through the fog instead of the the rear end of a car appearing out of ...

Ha was just thinking of posting myself.

Either that or the entire West Coast of the USA just went up in smoke.

Hope they despatched my new Bowling Ball in time.

Oh. The short answer to your question is yes.

It's not because of the Fog... it's because of the reckless and stupid driving.

Mods - can you delete this thread please?

You needn't ask. As soon as it's tea time in the UK it will get whizzed off to the tech section where it will die a lonely death.

Average Dubai Chinese.

Some people might have had better experiences, but then, some people rave about The Cellar.

If it's Chinese you're after then there's only one place in Dubai that does it well.

Did she burn it down?

Seriously, get better friends, the current ones are feeding you bullshit.

Mmm,take it your an Aussie?

It's not a question of whether I liked it or not, it's just a question of fact.

Jesus who said it was funny?

Ok,I'll pass it onto her that although she thinks her property is worth less,its actually worth more all on the back of your say so.That will make her feel a whole lot better. Well it's just a friend of a friend right? In Australia lingo, a friend of a friend means 'bullshit' by the way, same as be...

Better use something that will allow you to be seen, than nothing at all. And what should camels use so they can be seen clearly in fog? Bicycles? Vehicles without hazard lights? If you cannot see a 2 ton object in front of you because it doesn't have flashing lights, then you are driving too fast....

So Bonk, go on tell me! I have no fog lights on my car! What should I do? Wait until someone climbs in my boot? Correct. You should smile as the Rangerover Sports limited going at 200 Kph bisects your car straight down the middle. This whole argument of hazard lights cause accidents is the biggest ...

Next to the hazard lights... there's these things called brake lights.

They only come on when you put your foot on the brake pedal.

Dumbest, comment, ever.

Retards should be shot first, then the rest of us wouldn't have to worry about... well... anything.

Next to the hazard lights... there's these things called brake lights. They only come on when you put your foot on the brake pedal. And what is the point of brake lights? To tell people you are braking. Hazard lights - look out - there's a hazard... which to me fog counts. Brake lights - look out -...

I still don't get why people get so emotional about the hazard light thing. I didn't think I was getting emotional. That you don't get it sums it up really. You've almost persuaded me that it probably is best for other road users if you keep your hazard lights on. Not specifically saying YOU get em...

Yes I am the first to say there are a lot of 'apparently' in this post, but just thought it was worth throwing in to see what the facts were seeing as.. on this basis an apartment owner will have only just finished paying off his 25 year mortgage at 7.5% before watching it bulldozed. What then? (Re...

I'm still waiting for all the hazard light users to rip apart my argument for keeping them off except for emergencies: It will make a difference to the guy going 35 kph instead of 30 kph, or travelling 10 car lengths behind you instead of 11 car lengths. When you stop suddenly for whatever reason, ...
