Where is that darn amphibious bus when you need it

I think I might do better with snorkel gear though with the condition outside my office...

BD, hope you get out soon

What happened to the good ol' days when you just do the washing and ironing yourself?

There are a few small Indian laundries along beach road that aren't too bad and do a decent. They are a bit cheaper than Champion. Only tried the dry cleaning and not the wash/iron option though.

C'mon, please tell me I am not the only idiot who signed up for it?

Or am I the only one brave enough to admit it

abarawakijess

Yes please!! Any eating and I am in!!

Can anyone actually say its any good? I don't want to pay load of money and then find out that its awful...

No shame in loving food.

Deny thy food is a great sin indeed.

No thanks to the lentil. Never learnt how to cook that stuff without it turning out to be goop...

abarawakijess

No idea and there is only one way to find out.

abarawakijess

Is he cooking baked beans

abarawakijess

If you've never tried baked beans, you are missing out on a great food... and a fantastic way to clear the room

So DK do you know how much that weight is? Does that only apply to carrying gold bars or jewellery as well?

Heading home in 1 month and have heaps of presents to buy and take back...

Never experience canned food?!?! You cannot say you have lived until you have experienced the synthetic taste of canned food...

abarawakijess

I prefer chedder (sp?!).

Its nice to warm beans with shaved cheese mixed in and then placed on top of bread.

abarawakijess

Well, I was planning on the whole gold camel thing...

Souvenir gold coins sounds like fun. Can recommend anywhere? price wise?

I think you have to think laterally for this one...or just think like a guy...

abarawakijess

Sorry for stating the obvious, but you are really in the dog house now...

Maybe you should get your own PC/laptop?

abarawakijess

I saw it, but then I saw it this morning at 7:50 when it flew over the Madinet.

Biggest advert I've seen in a while

abarawakijess

Funny that, I had the same conversation a while back too, but it was with DEWA.

Weird...

abarawakijess

Can't help it. People need to vent their frustration

abarawakijess

I don't know, I quite like the crows in resident evil (does this means I am mad?)

I only get sparrows visiting me sadly...

abarawakijess

Hey, that is awesome, Really appreciate that.

Maybe I will go and fight it out with traffic department. Will charge for fight viewing

abarawakijess

Use your internet banking. It should have a function for paying your utility bills.

Should be able to set up a bill payment and pay either with credit or debit card.

abarawakijess

How big are the coins? More worried about the weight than anything else...

Any suggestions about where I *might* be able to get a reasonable bargain on jewellery during DSF?

abarawakijess

DK,

You seem the expert on gold, do you work in the market or something?

Any chance of a recommendation for a good decent (ie, does not rip you off) goldsmith that will custom make jewellery pieces? Do they provide valuation as well?

abarawakijess

There is a branch in Deira, which is the m in branch. There is also another one next to the MOE

What's the bet the owner of the beat up looking car will get a ticket for illegal parking on the curb? Poor guy...

Respect, understanding and open mind is usually a good place to start. its not just the "white" expats, even some of the other expats are arrogant and have the "holier than thou" attitude. :roll: C'mon people, its not just the 'natives' you have to respect, but also other expats.

It was my first time watching a professional golf tournament and I must say, its a great experience. I am not the most clued up person on golf and have no idea who most the players are so I watched it mainly for the entertainment value. Also spent time at the grand stand at 18th hole and watch all t...

Somebody is in a good mood today!!

abarawakijess

Amen to that.

Always good to be able to break out my good ol' trusty boots too...

Valentines day is a day for merchants to make a huge amount of money by selling stupid things like teddy bear, flowers, soppy cards and useless knick knacks. Its also a time when restaurants charge rediculous amounts of money for "aphrodisiac" meals in the hope of drawing in crowds that wo...
