Cool - this is just what I was looking for as both of my cars look like trash inside. Can anyone tell me what number to get hold of these guys (Zain Car Clean) on? Or where they are located? Also does anyone know if they are able to handle/repair small scratches and upholstery stains that are about ...

JoeTGF

Thanks bud. I can see the number on the chat now (duh!!). Will give them a call and get sorted out. Will let you all know if I agree with the reviews and what my experience of their service was like. :D-- Wed Sep 01, 2010 8:13 am --As promised my feedback. This is a good recommendation. I tried thes...

Hey all. I just saw this after I had posted some feedback on a car detailing company called Zain Car Cleaning in Dubai on the expat forum just now. I was looking for a company as most of the ones I tried were crap and expensive a couple of weeks back and found a helpful post from someone. I just use...

Being an american this is a stastic that makes me angry at the US and their foreign policy and very sad at the result of a pointless war. I have no idea if the numbers are correct but the US and British media is always focused on the death of soldiers rather than actual citizens. Very sad indeed.

I could live without pork and I definitely eat less of it since moving to Dubai but dropping bacon from my diet I can't do. Anyway I think there is some scientific material out there about health issues (can't remember what) associated from eating pork.

Hi All

I would really appreciate if someone could recommend a garden landscaping company (or companies to me). I am looking to have the garden of my villa done and while I have some idea I want to find a company that can make it look special and unique.

Much appreciated.

Personally I would try zaincarcare.webs.com on 056-1251856 A friend recommended them to me, he had all sort of exterior problems (cement being one of them) and these guys did a great job on his car - I saw the before vs after pictures. I am american and know what good detailing is. I tried them and ...

Absolutely. Jews and muslims lived in harmony side by side for 100s of years until the crusades and more recently due to palestine. Ultimately nobody can deny that of the 3 monothesic religions they have are the ones that have the most in common - lets hope they see it that way as well in years to c...

My personal experience has been pretty much the same as above - its a question of who is the tallest dwarf. I personally prefer ADCB, HSBC and Noor (albeit the last is limited in branches). In the UK and HK when I lived there I used HSBC and found them excellent but over here they are a completely d...

I shipped it over when I arrived and now want that space for something else. I am either going to put into storage or ideally sell it. Let me know if you are interested and I can send you some pictures.

JoeTGF

I have one and its great but I have one issue with it - I have a payg sim in it as I have a bbery for work and I when I set off my mail boxes it automatically pushes mails/data to me using my credits whereas I just want to retrieve it when necessary and use my wifi connection at home/office more of ...

While I would love to see the issues sorted I don't see much coming out of this apart from another drawn out stalemate. I hope to god I am wrong but I don't think even US pressure will lead to both sides agreeing on the border as both sides feel they have a claim to the land.

While there was a hell a lot of press on the slave labour employed in Dubai particularly at the time of the crisis I just wanted people's opinions on whether they think Dubai has actually changed the way it has conducted itself in the past and improved or whether its still the same.

JoeTGF

Fully agree Shafique. Its definitely not indicative of educated muslim teachings but unfortunately even when you look outside mosques that one could definitively say were Wahabi funded the lack of actual education on the part of the religious leaders that preside over the large majority of mosques m...

DD is right - islamic banks for sharia reasons can't charge interest and therefore call it "profit" but its essentially the same apart from the fact that it allows them to charge the customer more due to the uncertain nature of the "profit" rate. Mortgages by islamic lenders are ...

JoeTGF

locals to have an easy ride with the law and in other ways (different rates for dewa for starters) but chocoholic is right you have to stand up for yourself. Dubai is changing and has changed a lot even since I came here - things are not as cushty for them as they used to be. The law still favours t...

JoeTGF

Agree with Benwj on this. Some of whats been written(in all religous books) either doesn't make sense or should not be followed as we are talking about some very old texts. None of this I belief should contest whether you believe in god or not but I can see why for many it does. The recent abuse car...

Found this back forth banter really funny.
I bought and regret it but such is life. Yep its been a loss and of course I regret the price I paif but generally speaking I think its always better to buy as long as you can afford it and are not leveraged up to your *rse.

JoeTGF

Ha - OK - meant desertdudeshj and shortened it....incorrectly to DDS.

Yep hindsight 20/20 - the good thing is I can blame the purchase on my wife as she wanted the house...even though I did as well. Anyway as someone said life is a rollercoaster and can't enjoy it if it doesn't scare you a bit.

There will be more bailouts after Ireland is done....Portugal even though it has a much lower debt burden has some real structural problems....Spain as well with unemployment around the 20% mark. Ultimately if you look at it every country within the EU has a ridiculous social net and others have tha...

The political upsrising in the last elections showed that the governments is still able to quash any demonstrations quite ruthlessly. I acutally don't think the US want Iran to change. The world since I have been here has always been about the US v the current enemy. In the 80s it was the soviets an...

Quite possible but everything bad that China does which could spark outrage (ie manufacture cheap goods shoddy goods, civil rights issues, etc) are already out there and not sure the case could be made that China is a "treat" apart from an economic nightmare for the US. I think it will hav...

JoeTGF

Ultimately there is no hard cash at work here -- when you ask is there enough money its all about what the markets perceive. For example Greece in trouble so a bunch of more stable european countries and the IMF get together and say we will bail them out. What does this exactly mean? It means that e...

JoeTGF

I think the uni should have fees but just think its probably gone up too much too soo because of the economic sitation. People should always be given the opportunity to seek higher education and should not excluded if they don't have money. But I do think that there should be some fees and the abili...

JoeTGF

forgive my ignorance whats P.J? I like it here personally - its a bit fake. Laws are definitely stricter ie you can't walk down the street with a can of lager (not sure you can that UK either!) but as long as you are not an idiot than you won't have a problem. Loads of people from the UK here and th...

Back on topic - his idea of withdrawing money is nuts - if people listen to him its not a protest it will be a disaster for the people that were unlucky enough to be standing in line to withdraw their money as the bank closed its doors. Presto...a bank run. Banks rely on people not withdrawing all t...

JoeTGF

Fair enough - I guess they are meddling in Africa but the scale is different I would say. The Chinese are definitely all over Africa for economic reasons as its literally a mineral gold mine and the chinese need to buy up as much raw materials as possible to meet production now and for the future (t...

JoeTGF

thank you BM - never heard it referred to it like that - people just say the "palm" to me -- I mean the other two aren't built so its obvious which one it would be. anyway will save my blushes next time someone refers to it - thx.

JoeTGF

Nice one TJ. The guys are probably having a laugh saying something along the line of "do you think we can make it to 50 years?" - "why don't we just declare ourselves kings". I hope they are all brought to account for their sins and robbing their respective countries and citizens.
