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...

ok maybe a long shot but does anyone wear "proclear" soft contact lenses? made by cooper vision?? Run out of the supply i brought over with me - and there are 50 buzzilion eye stores in the city dont know where to start looking for them. I have had different brands in the past which my eye...

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 ...

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

oh and another thing my husband hates! is lining up at the supermarket and they stand right up behind him pressed against his back - i always laugh cuz it doesnt happen to me.

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

This is from 7 Day - hahaha Permanent link | no responses | Published on: Thursday, 11th January, 2007 Just when you thought Dubai’s skyline had reached its quota of bizarre ideas, along comes another radical design - the world’s largest concrete and glass, human-shaped building, complete with fabri...

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!

Your right! it does look like lego - or a giant arab transformer!

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.

Just tried then, and BANG its all back on again quick as ever.

Strange.

Ooops looks like someone was trying to tweak the filters (ie. block more stuff) and pressed the wrong button!

do you guys actually call mens frangances "perfume"?

i thought perfume was for females - never been quite sure what the mens equivalent is called though - all i know is my husband hates it when i refer to his as perfume.

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!

hey does this get sold out pretty quickly?

or can you get tickets quite easily?

not looking for fancy pants VIP tickets or anything, but would like to try and catch the semis and/or finals.

The semi-finals, and finals get sold out .. there is free seating so you can always give that a shot.

Do you guys think it will be a Nadal - Federer final again ?

Cant wait too !!

ooo...better get some tickets now then, just in case.

great thanks! thats what i was looking for but wasnt sure what they called it.

Have you used this before? and if so how reliable is it?

I just got back from there - getting there by Taxi is fine, getting a taxi back out....now that is a little more difficult, all the taxis driving round were full!

I read it...not really for the news value but to have a laugh at all the people who write in to have a whinge.

Not only are most of the comments rubbish - but i think they just type them out as they think then press send without even re-reading to check that what they have typed makes sense.

gulf news online has some pictures - am still surprised by what they will show in the papers here!

If the pictures are true - not everyone got out.

sorry should have said that! There is no disclaimers on the website - which is also a little disturbing/annoying A few of the pictures look to be taken with a mobile phone - who stands watching a burning building with people inside, and is able to take a picture like that i dont know....you would ha...

hmmm we just bought a new car - i havent seen one....where do they hide them normally?

will that mean pc to pc will still work ok?

yeah but before i got out here i found the skype video talk was the best out of the freebee ones, i.e less robot actions when you are talking to someone

try some plain yogurt with honey - makes it a bit sweeter and not so tangy

Not sure if you have already looked at their respective websites:

Just need the bit between the trade centre and defence roundabout.

Thanks!

I saw this last week - i thought it was ok, but not 100% my sort of movie.

I found it a little slow in parts - and wasnt quite sure what it was all about.

But i still enjoyed it, and didnt fall asleep

Saw the Prestige most recently and really enjoyed that!

Because a women's virginity is the most important thing in her life, I think, So when she lies about it then it becomes bad. Btw this is my point of view. maybe am right or maybe wrong. I think if she lies about it, then it is a bad thing, and you shouldnt start a marriage with this sort of decepti...

My vote would have to go to the guys at city centre with the whistles directing the taxis - i think they are great though, so enthusiastic in their whistling!
