suppose just used to like getting emails with the weeks "hot" deals and deciding spur of the moment to go away for the weekend or something just cuz the price was right.

Will check out Emirates Holidays, thnx!

maybe he has changed his name!

Imagine how many more people have read the article because they thought the name was funny

it's like when it was popular to write S*X really huge at the top of whatever you wanted to say, then "now that i have your attention" - this is just a little more subtle

Horrible!

well it does say "at around"

and i think "more follows" means: we might change the facts throughout the day as we find out what actually happened.

normally if housing is stated as being provided they will provide something suitable for your family. Though this is only if you are hired on a Married or family status contract. Often if you are hire single or bachelor status only single accomodation is provided and often this will have to be shared.

MaaaD - thanks for posting that pic!

Hey Down2earth

For your level of experience AED45 + car is market rate in the construction industry - what sort of company (ie. contractor? Client side?). I am finding at the moment AED40 - AED55K seems to be the rough range for PM type roles - just depends which company.

Xander i am a little vague on the exact rules as i have no investments/assets back home and am planning on being out here for more than 3 years. But as far as i can gather if you are classed as non-resident then you are not liable for aussie taxes. To become non-resident you have to be outside the c...

what the govt needs to do is build a new city (lets call is Bachelor City to be original) with a huge wall around it. All the bachelors will have to live in there - they can lock the gates on weekends and after hours so then noone has to see them when they are not at work! Sheesh...maybe if accomoda...

Hi Baby Doll

which car did you end up with? we are also looking at the escape - wanted to know, if you ended up getting one, how you are finding it?

Going for a test drive this weekend, but always good to get feedback from someone who is driving one every day.

Thanks!

for me the worst is getting into a lift! If you wait more than 5 seconds for the people to get out the 10 people who arrived after you will push in front leaving you to wait for the next one. I was once waiting for the lift and an elderly lady was next to me. The lift arrived and as we were getting ...

Coops

we used to put the good ol' fart machine to good use in crowded lifts at home. Not sure the sort of reaction they would get here

He has now taken to stading back to back with me glaring at the person behind so they at least leave a 1cm gap!

hahaha have look at the initial design!

Turns out the developer is now denying that they have approved it - probably because everyone is either laughing at it or rolling their eyes!

Mike i work for an aussie construction recruitment company out here- and the package you have quoted seems to be slightly above the market rate at the moment - your basic salary is quite good. Whether it is the right move for you or not will depend on how much schooling is going to cost for your kid...

It hasnt been working all day for me - none of the usual websites i use open, google would load, but none of the search pages would.

So i do it alot to bug him!

Just a question - is there some sort of wireless card you can get for your laptop that enables you to access the internet regardless of where you are?

Does etisalat offer this sort of service?

Thanks!
