Hi Moving is difficult at the best of times... There are many organisations who have set up globally to assist YOU in your move. Dubai offers the same, there are many companies here to assist you, each offering a very similar services. The smaller companies will tend to have more time to spend on yo...

Ok ok ok... . So, whats happening here? The topic was posted to engage in questions, and discussions, and was not geared as a means of blatant advertising (is this even allowed on the site?). I have been a member on this site for quite a while, and always aim to provide unbiased, useful information ...

Christian, Welcome to Dubai! I hope things are going well so far. I sent you a PM yesterday, I don't know if you got it... The above mentioned companies are good - I'd like to do one better and offer more options, and save you money at the same time. Please do get in contact before you leave: at@ech...

Shaun, I sent you a PM a while ago, do you receive it? When you arrive on friday i would love to be able to meet with you to discuss your various accomodation options and to see if there is anyway to help you get started over here. Let me know if you need any help - you might want to try on your own...

Dear Catwoman, There are a few properties available within your budget, it is all dependant upon the location you may require and how far you wish to travel to and from work. If you are to be working within the Dubai Internet City or Media City then there are properties at the Marina Pearl within th...

thorntonashley

Sorry to hear that! I think if you have that kind of budget in Dubai, you can't expect to live in luxury, so why are you talking about dust, bad gyms etc... Why are you talking about space? Would you be able to get a big apartment for 50K? I don't think so. So instead of being critical and difficult...

I think the Arabian Ranches are a great place for BOTH families and singles. The properties are stylish, spacious and to a degree, a little bit exclusive. If you have the cash to splash out on taxis after a night out then no problem. Also, its not that far at all to commute to DIC or DMC in reality,...

The whole queing thing ( or lack of it ) really gets me fuming..Why cant the some people in Dubai learn how to que and be polite..

perhaps workshops should be set up to fix this problem.....

thorntonashley

Gab, Yeah theres some crazy loons on SZR that feel its a competition to see how many lanes they can change in one journey. I personally find it highly amusing on the approach to Garhoud bridge where changing from 4 lanes into 2 confuses everyone to such a degree that panic sets in and all driving ru...

I think that if people drove the way they do in Dubai in the U.K, the police would be handing out disqualifications willy- nilly I think we would have to double the number of county courts to keep up with the demand and perhaps have the largest recruitment drive for traffic cops in the history of th...

thorntonashley

Very true chocs !

especially trying stunts like that on the M25,
also people have a tendancy to keep wheel braces, tools and other long metal instruments of pain in their car.

Big trouble !

thorntonashley

Does natural/alternative therapy involve placebo's ?

Dubai Physiotherapy Clinic does accupuncture and perhaps other methods of healing - give them a call 349 63 33

thorntonashley

oh and i forgot i had this contact on file...

www.healthholistic.com - Jumeirah beach road, Villa 783, Umm Suqeim 2

tel.3487172 they have a massive array of treatments..

if they cant help, then you might be in trouble ! lol

thorntonashley

Ive heard they are to launch their GSM services at the end of July (supposedly)
Its such a con anyway, people must realise its mostly owned my Etisalat and its a clever way to steal customers away from themselves ! either way its a win win situation for them!

Talk about a Monopoly !

thorntonashley

arnie, Ive also heard that Etisalat has been holding back technology for quite a while e.g PTT, so when DU comes in it can claim to be pioneers within the UAE Telecoms industry. A pime example is that when they go live you will be able to send picture messages internationally rather than just locall...

thorntonashley

I guess its because there are more subscribers in the u.k, thats why its so much cheaper...economies of scale and all....! Arnie, i know its slightly off topic but what goes on in the Fight club, its sounds dangerous....is it a place where people arrange to meet up in underground carparks late at ni...

thorntonashley

Mine is only a screener though....how upsetting! cant bring myself to watch it...

thorntonashley

errrm constantine, i have no idea what you are talking about... lol by a screener i meant a 25 second teaser of the trailer ! lol

arnie must be in the know how though....or knows a really good underground Torrent to use thats I.P locked for specific users..!

thorntonashley

constantine...thank you for the info on the screeners...i am aware what they are, i was joking in my previous post....there are ways to obtain screeners when you are not part of the media...you just have to look hard...lol
The phrase 'for your consideration' may ring some bells !

thorntonashley

lol ! A poll might be controversial....what would the possible voting options be ?

thorntonashley

LMAO.. i must have missed that previous topic !

sounds interesting though... hehe !

thorntonashley

tdot,

I have sent you a couple of messages regarding your posts...

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

thorntonashley

Mine is simply my name, thought it sounded more professional in a way,rather than making up a nickname... perhaps not..!

XRW, wouldnt 22B- 147 be a better one.. or perhaps STi - 147

I agree it is an awesome machine.... better than a 911 turbo though ? less dangerous i know that much!

thorntonashley

XRW, OMG that is a serious piece of kit, i had no idea you had modified your scooby to such an extent... I can imagine the 0-60 times were around the 4.5 mark..! Q, mile in 13 ? My friend has a Rover 220 Turbo in the U.K with some serious mods...345 BHP with a weight of only 1.3 tonnes...think it wo...

thorntonashley

Cant be bad ! what were you thinking of, something german ? maybe a EVO VIII MR FQ-400 would re-kindle your zest for excitement, not sure if they import them here but 450 BHP standard OMG ! If you have watched Top Gear before, they have tested one round a track and its far quicker than a gallardo or...

thorntonashley

Definately Requiem for a dream, Ronin, A time to Kill and Leon..

Although You can really only watch RFAD once as its seriously disturbing !

thorntonashley

From now on i'm gonna be checking out the nights that offer face card discounts. Anywhere thats good enough for Emirates Girls is good enough for me! lol

thorntonashley

I havent checked out Zinc yet, but am a regular at Trilogy, its a lot of fun ! For some reason X I dont think the 'couples' policy works too well as pretty much everywhere you go there are hundreds of men, with ladies in short supply. someone should have pre-warned me about the m/f ratio before i ca...

thorntonashley

X , I guess the reason why the topic is so popular for both genders is the name of the thread......lol

Women on top ? controversial or what ?

thorntonashley

Liban, i was in exactly the same boat, i had a cheeky peek at the the thread and was truly dissapointed..
Perhaps you should do what X suggests and create a sticky 'How to guide' for women..

Or maybe start a poll named 'Men on top' lol
