Seriously. Dear me. Thats sad.

Vodka Vodka Vodka! When my pa used to live in Baku I used to go for visits and every time I came home I'd have vodka in my suitcase. Last time I was out was December 2005 and I managed to get back 11 bottles. One had leaked in my case which made it reek of vodka and yet no-one in customs even though...

Is there no way that you can arrange (through the British Embassy) for a photocard licence to be issued? Whether this be you keeping a photocopy of the paper licence along with a letter from the British Embassy explaining why there is a photocopy whilst they send your licence off to the UK etc. etc....

The first link (A Million Ways) is one of my favourite songs actually! lol

There's dragon mart - chinese mall i could say.

Which isn't up to much. It's a real disappointment, actually.

Right, having read the whole topic, I (and guaranteed some others) am still confused. Most people in Dubai have maids/servants, correct? If they are female (which 99.9% of them are), is it illegal for them to live together? Because I know of lots of families who let their maids live with them. Also,...

Who even said Dubai is a country?

I was able to dial the toll free US numbers (1-800) from the UK by going with the following rule: 001 for the US country code Drop the 1 from the 1-800, giving 001-800-XXXX-XXXX So wouldn't it work if you did: 0044 for the UK country code drop the 0 from the 0800, giving 0044-800-XXXX-XXXX Just a th...

SPOT ON!!

Was reading The Sun on Saturday and I noticed an article on a celebrity boxing tournament coming to Dubai next year.

It said that apparently Ally McCoist, a Rangers legend (yaaaas!) has been signed up for the event at the JBH.

Anyone got anymore information?

Cheers

Here is the article word for word: Rangers legend Ally McCoist has been lined up to take part in a celebrity boxing match. The Scotland coach is set to fight in Dubai next year. The identity of his opponent is being kept under wraps. Promoter Ian McLeod revealed last night: "Ally has been in se...

Wouldn't tensions be high between the Arab world and Israel being in the same city?

It's hard to put into words what I mean so I hope you understand!

Well, My dad used to work and live in Baku from March 2002 until he re-located to Dubai in May this year and having visited Baku several times, I can say that it's a lot better than it was back in 2002. In terms of families not willing to relocate there, have they visited before? As the saying goes ...

Sure don't feel like Christmas here in Dubai!

Merry Christmas from the Al Barsha crew.

Can anyone point me in the direction of an online source where I can find English listings for the ART Sports Channels? There are some good SPL games on today and we don't want to miss them!

...and the Noodle House (if it hasn't already been said)....that place is the best for Chinese food and the atmosphere is fantastic (I can only talk for the one in Madinat Jumeirah, I'm not sure about the one in Emirates Towers).

We brought our Rotweiller down from Baku, Azerbaijan and it was no problem, just follow the information left by others here and you'll be fine We were going to fly him AZAL down to Dubai but heard of a story of a dog that arrived frozen, so we sent him via Frankfurt.....he's a well travelled pooch! ...

On the topic of non-UAE license holders: I'm 17 and will be taking my test on March 1st in the UK. I'll be coming back to Dubai in June for 3 months and my Dad is sponsoring me on his Residence Visa for the period. The plan is to let me earn a little money before I pack myself off to be a tax dodgin...

Me too I just got back on Saturday and already missing it.....boring Scotland....pft! Well, not long now...only 4 more months of this rubbish and then it's back to Dubai for 3 months before Uni!

Is that the one at Ibn Battuta?

Update on more fighters that have been added to the list of celebs:

Gordon Smith (??)

We live in Al Barsha 3 and thats a good area of Dubai (in my opinion) to live in. It's located close to the Mall of the Emirates, and is only a 10-15 minute drive to Jumeirah. The only thing about it is that it is on the Bur Dubai side of the creek, so if you want to head to the Deira side it's gonn...
