if you do the math though a hybrid chevy tahoe still uses more gas then a nissan tiida. A step in the right direction though.

hahaha, it's funny you mention this, I couldn't find it in a gas station either, I did find some in Geant and was told that Carrefore has it as well. they only sell the concentrate kind, i.e. it won't be in the 4 litre container but rather a 1 litre and you add water. http://www.dubaiforums.com/view...

is more indirect then I but gets his point across

But in areas like media city or internet city you have got makeshift mosques See now this is the root cause, I have to admit going into a toilet that was recently used for ablution is not a pretty site but why are there no proper facilities? why in a country with a Muslim majority there is need for...

okay I'm a bit confused vmware is a utility so you can allocate a portion of your windows machine to run linux, I have it on one of my laptops and have sparingly used it with no issues. But if you're planning to buy a machine why would you just not build it as a unix machine wouldn't that make more ...

ah ok, it looks like you are using vm for a different purpose then I. VMware, is used to create a virtual machine, I run Linux on my 'virtual machine partition' but you're right in that you could create a bunch of virtual machines and then network them. I know nothing about networks so can't offer a...

One man's bacteria is another man's protein. Smoke while eating, if you have a couple of shisha's going the whole time you smoke the flies usually stay at bay just exhale towards the food, if you're not a smoker coffee grinds on burning tea lights do the trick as well. I wrote up about flies last ye...

link does work for me, maybe it's one of those works from dubai but not outside of the UAE.

Yes it is the right link, the black points are only usually given when you actually get pulled over, you can get up to 15 before you need to worry.

I've flown from Dubai to China, I've never needed a letter. Probably best to check with the consulate but I don't think so.

okay lets start with getting numbers together. I'll start a thread tonight and we'll get things finalized.

Can you suggest ideas? Biryani? Shisha? not in a mall? anything else.

Appreciate any suggestions.

it is sad, but even sadder I know how you feel, check out Uk Nova[/url]

Sorry I bothered to mention it.

don't let S&O bully you, people need to be informed about all their choices, this is a choice. Thank you for posting this, it is useful information to know.

there are a few post offices around the city, you need to rent yourself a PO Box, I think 150/year, the one I use is Jumeriah Post Office on Al Wasl road. I think many people have their mail sent to their company PO Box, you may wish to speak to your coworkers to see if that is a viable option for y...

Hey good to hear from you :) ,thanks for the correction and the note about the black points for radar, I'll have to keep an eye out for that. the only black points I've recieved were 2 for doing a u-turn in a no u-turn area in Bur Dubai :oops: :oops: but they've been removed from my record already i...

And hopefully Bushra if she is around still? Open to all. One of the suggestions was Heritage Village, I’m up for that, Nice, on the creek, fewer flies than in new Dubai and very central to most. Can you please inform me by posting or PM if you are interested, all are welcome but I’ll confirm locati...

Did you find the inflatable doll for HP yet? He'll need a date for the occassion.

Done with Sari to boot, red in colour for 'wedding night unveiling'

you'll be fine, they give 1 month grace so try to get it done before the new year.

I use a media centre, similar to this you can get wireless ones and add files from any pc in the house and hook it directly up to your TV or projector, great inventions.

wow I didn't know anyplace in Dubai that used electric stoves, I thought they were all gas. I'm guessing electric is also a lot more to operate? I'm glad i saw this, I was toying with a move across the water to JBR.

Sorry to hear that, good luck on the exams and we'll see you soon enough.

Testosterone shots all around,

SmartD - what kind of trouble? Is benazir coming?

is this you confirming? yes I'll pm the location name and details.

yeah I do, Actually I use to live in an old building in bur dubai, a highrise on SZR and our current place and all had Gas, actually even our BBQ area has a gas BBQ. I guess this is why I was so surprised to hear people using electric, I incorrectly assumed all were gas. I guess I'll count myself lu...

We use electric, but we live in old Dubai. It is commonly accepted that gas is cheaper than electric. I don't think it is that much more, because our electric bills top out at Dhs 700 in the summer for a family of four in a two-bed flat. is it just the electric portion or your dewa total? is AC inc...

damn, love the paint job.

I'll second what GT says my roomie just bought a car, plates were expired for about 1 year and no salik and both weren't an issue.

Union Co-op

From what I've been told generally in a furnished house pets aren't allowed, also worth noting on the news a couple days ago 16 breeds of dogs were newly banned in Dubai, not sure the breeds but there are some dog experts here who I'm sure can add details.

thanks GT, was just curious
