Leave him in there. I went and had a look the other day and he looks awesome circling around the top with his pack of homies following him. Plus the tank is massive. Surely it's big enough for him. People get so worked up over one little fish. There are much better causes to put your energy into. s...

Alright people. Let's not get carried away. You all think you're being environmental superheros by getting angry at the Altantis but your anger is misguided. This is one fish. The oceans of our planet are being raped by commercial fishing and choked by pollution. Who's starting up facebook groups t...

Guys/Gals - I strongly recommend watching the movie - "Reservation Road". (on DVD or on HBO)....about a family who lost their son in a hit and run case and the guilty driver who comes face to face with the guilt. On the topic, I think the number of hit and run cases is drastically rising h...

Who keeps moving this to the movies seciotn? Doesn't belong there! so thats why there are so many copies of this thread saying 'Moved'. Must be one of the mods/admin who read the first line in the body of the thread. I only used the the example of the movie since it was an eye-opener to the issue o...

I agree that many locals ,the youth ( not the rich ) drives carelessly thinking it's cool . uaekid, on the above - is it really cool? driving carelessly = putting your life in danger + other's lives in danger (especially the unprotected pedestrian). Whats "cool" about something irresponsi...

Well sadly, when people come from all over the world and you have driving skills of all levels, chaos is what you get! Have you ever seen how they drive in India, Sri Lanka, Egypt or even Lebanon? - I have never been sooo scared in my life! Chocoholic, its got nothing to do with driving skills - ag...

The dark tint is so that the gorgeous women don't blind all the drivers with their magnificence. The rules say 30% tint max, but of course it isn't enforced. women??? its mostly men and especially shady elements who resort to blacking out their windows. Anyone who has over tinted their windows defi...

How the heck is Gaza related to a whale shark in Dubai?

Violent lady to give your mate a blow. But he probably deserved it. he must have probably ended up with bruises or fractures than HIV. can your mate move his hands and legs, turn his neck? P.S. I guess the mate is probably the thread starter himself. very convenient and common that people ask embara...

michaeldubai

That's not my quote, so don't know what happened there. As usual some people find it difficult to comprehend the fact, that just because we stand up for animals, we somehow don't care about people! WRONG! This topic is about the whale-shark! If you wish to talk about human issues, open another thre...

There is a particular attitude towards animal abuse which I find a bit dusturbing...... If an animal is abused, (e.g. cats thrown from cars, dogs beaten), and someone points it out, a very popular reply is "Children and innocents are being killed in Country X, and you are talking about animals...

Interesting but very true. the fraud includes small white lies of achievements all the way to fake qualifications....and yes many many people do get away with it. But I believe today its still easier to verify CVs provided you've got a resourceful HR department to filter the CV. Sometime all it take...

Dubai: Inquiring about whether a certain brand of bottled drinking water is healthy or not is one of the many trivial calls that Dubai Police's Command and Control Room receives at 999 - a dedicated number allocated to emergency calls only. ......... Some examples of trivial calls include: How can I...

hey guys, moving to Dubai in February, and keen to find out the laws regarding my partner moving out with me. It is to my knowledge that she can obtain a holiday visa for upto 60 days, but would this be a problem if she stays permanently? Also, she is a qualified international Beauty Therapist. Wou...

Oman had implemented a similar smart card system several years ago. Only it was done gradually. whoever's visa came up for renewal got their labor cards replaced with the smart card. new residents got the new cards anyways. so within 3 years - everyone had them. well planned and implemented - unlike...

one couple recently got jailed and deported. For living together? Or getting drunk and playing in the sand? There are many topics in the forum about living together. A summary is it is illegal, many people do it anyway, if you don't advertise it you probably won't get in trouble. Police don't spend...

not heard of schools take individual photos. would also take an endless amount of time

but for group photos they charged 10 dhs. of course the professional photographers do give special rates for schools in echange for the good business.

A few days ago, KT carried an article of a certain dignitary who was present at a reception the previous day. Whereas, I knew for fact the person was out of the country for more than a week.

michaeldubai

what a sick bas***d!!! If this person could do what you described to a dog - another living creature; he could do the same to another human.

God only knows how many people he must have hit and run.

I saw this similar article with headline on Gulf news: "City of trust and tolerance" and almost fell off my seat. only it says survey done by Community Development Authority (CDA)????? What about this quoted fact? "There are 1.5 million residents in Dubai out of which 1.1 million are ...

People, you all know of the case of the local who ran over the 52 year british woman last year. Well it now seems, (as seen in the papers of late) that his lawers are trying to get him off the hook by stating that "he only intended to scare the woman". Quoting Gulf news:- " "My c...
