Now that I make 2 daily trips to AUH and back the amount of crap I see huge. 2 daily trips to auh and that too in a landrover. That says it all. we all know whose version to believe. :-) I'd rather the highways are clogged with slow drivers in control than fast rash ones who think life is a video g...

How dumb is this? The guys who would benefit the most from the insurance scheme are not protected from what they are most likely to suffer from. I think labourers should just pack up and go home - leaving the construction industry here to rot. --------------------------------------------------------...

Doesn't make any sense. Probability of heat stroke must be very high to exclude it from the basic insurance. Scrooches. ps: Are there statistics of Indians dropping from scrapers? Or did they stop producing statistics already... ;) There were some reports that made it tp the papers - but these were...

http://www.gulfnews.com/nation/Police_and_The_Courts/10335025.html I don't think I can quite put into words how disgusted I am not just with the inhuman behaviour of the parents, but mostly, that Sharjah police are not going to charge them with any crime, because "they're suffering enough"...

Thats the crux of the problem. Many people genuinely believe there should be different standards for different people. There's nothing one can do to change than mindset. 2 days back, a guy blocked my car for 1 hour by illegally parking, when I asked him why he did it, he replied, "This is my c...

Hey I'm just telling you what I know. In a place which is totally blacked out and doesnt have any other light other your headlights save for an odd dim bulb on a door It really doesn't matter you crawling at 10 or 20 in these places anyway. Its not like your going down SZR during rush hour, blind !...

it has advantages and disadvantages.. This is some articule I found …. Tinted car windows benefit drivers and motorists in many ways. First, it protects the passengers from direct exposure to the sun, which may cause premature skin aging and heightened risks of skin cancer. Auto window tinting also...

rash decision.

next thing - they'll doubt the authenticity of the certificates and ask to get it attested from UAE embassy in your country and from your govt.
half your vacation will go in running around for the paperwork. and you'll probably fall sick from doing that anyway...

Its a logistics disaster. Most people are on vacation in their home countries and will return in August. They would not know of the new rule. So will officials send them all back? Which airline would be able to handle such capacity? even the airport facilities cannot handle it. What will they do - m...

Yes BBR, saw the article on GN. look at the bright side. at least people on the forum sharpened their thinking and typing skills. a bit of regular thing now eh? major news announced in the morn and by afternoon, formal announcement says its false. GN and others need to get their behinds whopped.

How fast can a local run with their dishdashas on?????????

I don't really understand this thread. If this thread is about whether women should be allowed to work cleaning the streets...well..yes. Equality goes both ways. Some men are CEOs and some men are garbage collectors. The same should apply to women. If someone is actually making the point that all o...

Dumb system as usual - expected from the local authorities. 1 wrong digit can mess up your life. With their bloated database of finger prints, photo records, why should 1 wrong digit entry create such an issue ------------------------------------------------------- Sharjah: An erroneous entry in the...

Hey porcupine face, your bloated image reminded me. This weekend, walking home from the nearby hospital, nearly got run over by this local bum driving a Corolla at high speed (80+??) on the wrong side of the road. Nearly runs over 2 other kids who miss by a few inches. Shouted at him. Luckily he hea...

What a s**t rule. What about the employers? Are they free if they lose the case? "Workers who lose their case in a UAE labour court will be banned from working in the country for a year, the Ministry of Labour has said." http://www.arabianbusiness.com/563627-lose-labour-case-and-you-are-b...

You've got to be kidding. Is there anything that has actually improved here as time passes???

uaekid, agreed signing a blank cheque is dumb. but even in your case where FGB wrote the actual amount on the cheque. How is this any better? Can you guarantee that this amount is present in your bank account at all times? if tomorrow there is a shortfall, and they decide to encash it for the value ...
