Re: Health officials want warnings on junk food.

For the cost of a fast food meal you can make a healthy meal. It just takes effort and thought. It's not as if fast food has all the nutrients one should consume. Fast food is basically about oil (fat) and starch (potatoes and bread) and sugar (soda). It's about pigging out on the wrong food. There...

Re: Escape From Dubai-by Herve

As far as I am aware there is no requirement in Islam for women to wear Abaya's. I believe (please correct me if I am wrong) that women should show modesty and not flaunt their bodies but there is no requirement for headscraves, covering of the face or of the total body in that manner. This more cul...

Re: Escape From Dubai-by Herve

Viking brings up an important point namely that DW and associated gov entities (Dubai Holdings, Dubai Group, etc) employed individuals that lost far more money like Mr Jackson which makes Herve's loss from the sub business seem almost neglible. We are not even talking about expats they hired - there...

Re: Could DF use a mod shake up?

From reading old posts it seems that there is some favoritism on the part of the mods and potentially unfairness on how they deal with certain individuals, etc. Ultimately if I felt I was treated in an unfair way I would simply leave DF but I tip my hat to those that stuck around - you are more tole...

Re: Well done qatar and russia!

I personally think the whole process is corrupt but don't really care as I am sure Russia will host a good world cup and I think its good that they finally gave it to a middle east country regardless of its climate and size. Off topic - I just hope that they introduce some technology in the next wor...

Marble Polishing

Hi - can anyone recommend a good company that can polish my marble floors - I have already tried/called Marble Life and Modern Cleaning - would not mind getting a quotation from others as the charges seem high. Thanks.

Re: Escape From Dubai-by Herve

Bora - If what you say is correct (that lawyers are working on a % basis) than that goes a long way to showing that Herve is in the right. However I just question whether there are really astronomical costs involved with filing a case? From my personal experience its not cheap but the real costs are...

Re: Escape From Dubai-by Herve

Fair enough Bora. I only meant that costs were less at the beginning. But I understand that lawyers have no trouble charging for every sec/min of time. They didn't earn a rep of being bloodsuckers for nothing - no offence meant.

Re: The straw that broke the camels back

Every man and his dog has been screaming for months that the residency laws of the UAE need to be more favourable for Dubai to stage a recovery. It is one of the easiest things to change and yet the advice is being ignored. Kid, please have a word to Sheikh Khalifa for us before it is too late. Ful...

Re: No More Visa Runs, and Residency Reduced to 2 Yrs.

I might be mistaken but I think that the Hatta run is still fine as those are classed as tourist visa's. The visit visa where you have to spend 1 month out of the country before coming back is for the ones that need to be applied for before coming to the UAE - ie for pakistan, phillipines, etc. The ...

Re: The straw that broke the camels back

Well before they go about a price hike, why don't they educate people about being more energy efficient.

Re: Advice Needed!

BM - credit where its due - your stories and responses are always amusing and a good read. I don't know what your profession is but have you ever considered writing? You definitely have a knack for putting a wierd and wonderful perspective on some of the most straightforward/ordinary things in life.
