So, my friends!! What best can I give this girl as a gift of attraction?

A Porsche? A villa on Jumeirah Palm? Brad Pitt?

Fun? Yes
Cheap? Yes if you eat at Ravis
Expensive? Yes

Jumeirah is popular for accommodation. Try Mirdiff, but anywhere is difficult. Or wait till 2008/2009.

Well if POTC is so bad, they'll be so unimpressed you won't have the excess girlfriend problem after you've taken them all .

I enjoyed it. Don't leave before the end of the credits - there's a bit more.

I have a 42" plasma and diesel generator with satellite dish. Seems to work fine at any speed.

MaaaD wrote:i was under the impression this was the last one but the ending made it seem like there might be more !

Especially if you see the bit after the credits. Yeah, long but good fun and great special effects.

Radio show was talking about this last week. One phone-in said he broke a car window to let a suffocating dog out. Owners went nuts and called the police who charged him for damaging car. Police said he should have left dog alone. Does that principle apply to children too then?

In theory I think car gets confiscated/impounded. In practice, it probably depends on who you are.

There are many real estate agents. Some bad, some good. I'd agree Better Homes is a safe bet when you don't know. Maybe Asteco also. Here's something that might help - Real Estate agents in Dubai . I was just reading today that Dubai Land Department will deal with disputes but only if there's paperw...

International City, Rainbow Apartments in Ajman, Oasis Lagoon are not for ultra rich.

The only ones I've seen blocked are of a certain, ah, genre ---- I think I would like to meet you

You bet

I am also concerned about re-entry here as Quarantine is a big deal (5mths) and she might not cope with that very well. What about the poodle - what does she want? Friends here had dogs they took back to Oz, quarantine was a drag and I think they got lost in Singapore on the the way back but they'r...

What are you worried about? Safer for kids in Dubai if you don't let them drive or put them on your lap when driving yourself.

you aren't local my friend therefore you can't discuss this matter. Leave it to the locals, we just sit back and pretend everything is great, "kick you in the crunch, spit on your nick" great! :glasses7: I don't follow :? :? :?: Philipino ban was because Philippines said minimum should be...

I agree it's safe but I don't think "very few" is very accurate. As for drinking, since age limit is 21 there could be a lot of underage drinking.

Who cares? It tastes fantastic !

nuzbim wrote:plus most new electornics can convert to 220 as long as you get an adaptor.

Most? Maybe some. Check anyway, you'll fry anything if it's only for 110v. A plug adapter doesn't change the voltage.

jabbajabba wrote:There are zero muggings, less assaults and very safe for kids.

No.
No.
Yes.

Youtube has some videos.

It does. Not often though.

Don't live in the mosque then?

gtmash wrote:If he put a 42-inch in his mobile home, where would the toilet go?

I use a plastic bucket

Better Homes also.

$60k Oz is about 180k dhs? That and more is market rate for a 3+ bedroom villa. Steep for a 1 bdrm apartment. Yes there's a shortage.

Excellent!!!

Most/all laptops will work on different voltages. I was meaning for general appliances - kettles, toasters, sybians, etc.

An adapter is not a power supply is what I was trying to point out.

Sydneysider wrote:and best move in buying anyway is to buy off a plan and sell when it is built!

Gets hot in the summer though living on a building site.

Live close to DIFC or close to JAFZ. Then only one of you will have to suffer traffic jams. Do the drive at rush hour when you visit to get an idea of what you can stand. Check out intersections under construction. Defense roundabout will be a nightmare for the next couple of years. Dubai Marina may...

After two summer months working outside in Dubai 6 days a week you might change your mind.
