Ally 'Coisty' McCoist. Rangers legend and now he's Assistant Manager, with Walter in the driving seat. What more could a blue nose ask for?!

Well he drives himself about in a white Merc 4X4 wearing the number plate "1" so he can't be the hard to miss, if you do see him.

Well having read all the posts that confirm the 30-day visa is actually a 60-day visa makes me a lot happier....I visit Dubai every summer for 8-10 weeks at a time and really relied on the 60-day validity of the visa. 2-3 years after I've finished uni I'll hopefully be resident in the UAE so I won't...

As Bushra says, Fitness First is (in my opinion) the best gym company in Dubai. The best one is in Ibn Battuta Mall. Prices are something like a 1000AED registration fee then 599AED/month (or something like that). It sounds steep but it is definately worth it when you consider that you can use all t...

As long as your medication has a sticker on it with the issuing pharmacy/doctor and your name on it you should be ok. Also, check out the link previously posted by bigdave. Also, most over the counter meds are available in Dubai (Panadol, calpol etc.) As for dress code, its common sense that prevail...

I've heard around from people who have had wills made in the UAE for their family that they have been told that by adding the line "This will for Mr./Mrs. Soandso Supercedes all current and future UAE law" or something similar automatically rules out the transfer of assets to the first bor...

I'm 19 and visit Dubai in the summer for 8-10 weeks at a time. I am almost always back in the UAE less than 6 months after I previously left. Now the question: Because I'm over 18 and therefore no longer can be classed as a dependant, how could I secure a Residence Visa? My family own property in th...

When people go to pass their driving tests they need to be put though something like a skidpan to help them understand what driving in the rain is like. Something so simple as a little extra training will surely cut road deaths in the UAE when the roads are wet (which I know, is not very often but w...

I was on the roundabout on Emirates Road at the bottom (?) of Sports City, Emirates Road, sitting in the middle lane, taking the second exit. There was a guy in the inside lane who took off in his pickup the same time I did when the lights changed. He decided it would be a good idea to turn off and ...

Have they changed the labour laws for people under 18 working?

Just read about Setanta by Broadband and it isn't available to users outside the UK.

Sorry!

The British Dental Clinic on Al Wasl Road (near the turning for Interchange 1 apparently) is one of the best.

I flew into Dubai in late December 2008 and my passport was stamped with the "Valid 60 days from date of arrival". I'm flying back out to Dubai this Wednesday so if I remember I'll post here and tell you guys what I get this time round.

PS I'm Scottish. NOT British. Lol.

I think you're looking too much into it. If you're a tourist, you're not going to be looking to take photos of oil facilities or government buildings so the laws regarding these shouldn't really bother you. As for women in abayas, like everyone else has said, either wait until they pass out of your ...

KFC Vanilla Cheesecake is the best without a doubt.

Hi there, I am a British national and entered the UAE on a 30-day visa-on-arrival issued at Dubai International Airport. I have plans to visit Qatar sometime next week for a day, and will then be returning to Dubai until April 18th. My question is, when I return to the UAE from Qatar, will I be issu...

There is a tennis club that runs in Al Reem in Arabian Ranches. The guys name is Danny. I don't have his phone number but maybe someone else on here does?

Whats needed is a more comprehensive driving test. I hold a full UK Driving Licence and you need to sit a theory test beforehand with 50 questions, of which 43 need to be answered correctly, along with a video "hazard pereception" section where you watch videos and click when you think a h...

It's got a little bit of a Bentley Continental GT air about it. I like!

You could try the Dubai "institution" that is Barasti.

Whenever my family moved from Azerbaijan to Dubai back in 2006 we flew our rottweiler from Baku to Dubai via Frankfurt with Lufthansa. As far as I am aware, as long as you have all the vaccination paperwork in order then there should be little problem. I do know that if you have a known 'vicious' do...

Hi Guys and Girls, Quick question. I have a friend who was convicted of drink driving in the UK a few months back and received a 12 month ban which has been reduced to 9 months as he completed a rehabilitation course recommended by the court. He says he's planning on heading to Dubai in the next few...

The Western Steakhouse in the Crowne Plaza on SZR. If you're feeling flush, the Rib Room in Emirates Towers does a pretty excellent bit of Wagyu. And if you're really in the mood for some serious spending, Nobu in Atlantis does a small dish where they flambe some fillet mignon at your table...now th...

Most people opt for Showtime. It's roughly the same price as Sky (279AED for the top package I believe) and they even show EPL and SPL football matches at weekends, usually simultaneously and back to back! ShowSeries shows serials from the UK and USA such as Desperate Housewives, Coronation Street e...

Hi there, I think you mean Al Sabkha, it's an area down by Dubai Creek. I don't live in Dubai but visit regularly so I can't help on the photo front, but if you go to Google Maps and search "Al Sabkha, Dubai" there is a few user photos that you may be able to use as long as you reference t...

There has been moves afoot amonst the UAE Government to begin to allow VoIP to be used legally. If you run a search on GulfNews.com for VoIP you'll find a few articles explaining that Etisalat and du are planning to roll out VoIP soon.

You could try this forum for some recommendations: http://www.dubaiforums.com/learning-arabic/ Also, I am learning Arabic (or attempting to) in my spare time. I've got "Mastering Arabic" by Jane Wightwick and Mahmoud Gafaar. The CD's compliment the book and it's pretty easy and quick to ge...

I've got a friend who stays in Motor City and their apartment is actually quieter than our villa in Arabian Ranches!
