They are trying to force the 'batchelors' (for that read any single non family person) into renting some of the empty studio and 1 bedroom accommodation. The problem is they are asking such ridiculously high rents that no-one can afford it. What then? Knight If thats so they probably anticipate ren...

one guy at our office last week got a notification from HSBC that his visa was expiring shortly and unless a copy of the renewed visa was sent to them - they would freeze his account.

I've seen a lot of these boycott this and boycott that mails. Honestly do not see any sense in this. If you boycott any product I can only say that you will be the loser. If you buy something right now - its probably because you like it and value it more than other similar brands. If you boycott, me...

The guy pulls alongside and starts looking toward my girl through his untinted windows and acts as if he wants to race. WTF is that? Two seconds later, she gunned it and made it a no contest. definitely doesnt sound even remotely like an Indian or south asian. Need to get your eyes checked. However...

http://www.gulf-news.com/nation/General/10280929.html Dohhhhhhhhhhhh "we have seen accidents drop off in December probably due to long holidays" The correct answer by anyone with more than 3 brain cells is: "the accidents in construction are down because there is less construction&qu...

One of those cases came from my work the other day. We had some contractors in putting up security screens on the 1st floor windows, probably 5 metres high. They had NO safety equipment at all, and one of the guys was welding with no mask and just a piece of cardboard that he would throw in front o...

I’d forgive someone who lives in the West if they’d be indifferent or ignorant to what’s happening to the Palestinian people, but for someone who lives in the UAE which would gets good exposure to the truth of the conflict, but yet still indifferent to the Palestinians’ suffering, I’d think he/she ...

The intention is right. Several families should anyway not be staying in one flat. There is limited freedom and leads to social problems, hygiene problems. Most of these familes live under much more better conditions back in their home country. Even labourers have decent accomodation back home compa...

Be informed that part time jobs as such are not allowed, especially if you're on a company's visa. But what the heck - its not as though people enjoy spending 12 hours at work during they day and then spend another few hours in the evening working. Its obviously out of desperation and need. Dont kno...

The Jews were hated by the germans because of their success in society, job, soical life, etc. Just like how now there is a resistance in most countries against expats who come and do well in their countries - while the natives suffer. Hitler, from a poor background, hated that. Basically the Nazis ...

As long as Palestinians are under the control of the Hamas, this will be their state of affairs. Hamas is a terrorist organization that basically - doesnt give a damn about the Palestinian people. It so easy to evoke sympathy from international community - fire missiles from residential areas into I...

Excellent achievement by Iran. They have to be admired for being able to stand on their own.

Ego problems, poor diplomatic negotiation capabilities and threats - this is what will take the world into another world war.

To think Damac was once giving of luxury cars and airplanes a few months ago and now firing people. Such trash management and planning skills. Anyway on topic - definitely not illegal but better than firing employees. markets have their ups and downs - while up, everyone benefits - employees and com...

lets not get into history as that is a never-ending debate. On Fresh news - what was the need for Hamas' fresh offensive. Dust had not yet settled, rebuilding was yet to start and they launch a new strike? asking for trouble right? Its like - you slap me, I slap you back and you go crying to everyon...

DK - this is a whole balance of power issue - for which I would blame US. Everytime someone invests in a high tech attack/defence sytem, other nations see it as a threat and aim for something better. If what you say - that the satellite is merely a cover to develop a long range weapons arsenal is tr...

of workers trucked in from poor countries constructed the patches of exposed sand, and the infrastructure that furnishes each with water and power. The islets have since sold for anything between US$15m and $250m apiece. funny isnt it - some sand dumped in the sea and then sold for millions inspite...

No matter what the damn newspapers say or polls show, my conclusion is that the worst drivers are anyone from the western arab world - egyptian, lebanese, palestinians, the entire lot. These guys are ready to kill anyone on the road - as I nearly got so today. They are ready to kill and run off too....
