I also read the report a few weeks back about Donald Trump's sons going hunting in Africa. They killed several endangered species. This is a very rich person's sport that I was previously unaware of.

My father used to tell me that when he was growing up in the 1950s, his mother would send him outside in the morning when there was no school and he was on his own until bedtime but came home for mealtimes. I think that was normal practice back then. Can anyone imagine doing that nowadays?

I'll have to check this with my friend but I think the certificate might have place of marriage being the church. She has both a GCC and UK passport as her Dad is from a GCC country so maybe her passport might indicate her religion. As far as I'm aware, when registering a birth, the mother must give in her passport. Maybe the solution would be to give her UK passport if necessary? I'll have to check the exact details with her and will post back. Thanks for the reply Anon. Hi! I just wanted to say that my DH and I are Muslim and got married in the USA. We had a religious as well as a civil marriage. The only documents that were ever required to register our marriage here were from the civil marriage. Our religion never came into question.

Hi! Doesn't your friend have a marriage certificate that is done by the county, town, etc.? That should have no mention of religion on it. Does the UK accept a marriage officiated only in a church as valid?

Hi! You should call BUPA directly because many insurance companies have different coverage policies depending on the plan the employer's company has bought into.

This sounds like some kind of misunderstanding. Guys in bars normally never criticize women. I am assuming the lights were dim. How could they even see the cellulite on your thighs?

Why don't you put your DD in nursery 3 or 5 mornings a week so that you get some time to yourself? She is starting nursery in sept 2 mornings a week and i honestly cant wait - she loves being with other kids and ill finally get some time to myself. but that is in september... September is not that far away and I assume that you will be going home for the summer, right?

I wonder if the sales assistants understand the lyrics of these so called songs. Recently, I was in a store and an extremely vulgar song from Khia was playing. I told them to turn it off and they did immediately. I suppose that's all you have to do when it is particularly bad.

Why don't you go to Mirdif City Centre - lots of shops to choose the appropriate outfit from as Outlet Mall might be hit & miss. I agree. I was there recently and I don't think the selection is great.

Some people say you can apply 5 years after the date of marriage, others say 3 years after the first baby, others say 5 years after you've been on the family book. Which is true? Is it correct to say you cannot get the nationality if you're not on the family book? Would appreciate all your info on this, not for myself, for a friend :) TIA Hi! I have been told that it is after being in the nationality booklet for 5 years. It is correct to say that you cannot get the nationality if you're not in the family book.

I've just moved to Dubai and have a 10-month old daughter. I'd like to get to know some other moms with babies of a similar age. I can't decide whether the Bumps & Babes or Mums & Tots group would be more age appropriate. Can anyone advise me on which would be best? Thanks! Mums and Tots Why? Bumps and Babes' mothers meet in cafes, which can be frustrating with a baby that age because they reach for everything on the table. Mums and Tots meetings would give your DD a chance to crawl around.

HI all, Heading home tomorrow and looking for gift ideas to give to family and friends. We've already done camels and baclava before. Any others? TIA camel milk chocolate? That is truly unique to the UAE and quite expensive and you can buy it at the Dubai airport. <em>edited by AnonDubai on 14/04/2012</em>

I am also a very nervous flyer. After my family has gone to sleep, I usually just sit in the seat full of fear and I don't move at all. I always look at the flight attendants. If I see them joking and relaxing, then that makes me feel more relaxed. I figure that they are the ones who know best when it's time to panic!

Yes, it seems so. I don't think rental prices here ever went down that much. Shorooq and Ghoroob in Mirdif seem nice but they are both directly under the flight path, which makes them undesireable.

there are also some nice apartment blocks in al nahda and that area. A 2 bedroom in Al Nahda is going for 60,000 a year so it is still quite expensive...

Hi! I went there the other day. I really liked it. The layout is good. The food selection is good. The toilets are just there so you don't have to leave when you need to use them. They have an offer going on right now where you only pay for one hour before 1 pm. I will definitely go back there. They also have free wifi.

Bump this thread as I have the same query as Popsicle. It looks like Zebra-Crossing is right next to Noor Islamic Bank metro station so would be easy to get to without a car. Anyone got any feedback??? TIA Did either of you ever go to this play area? If so, is it any good?

Just have 3 Nuttella sandwiches per day and nothing else. Excersise and see they weight fall off. A woman doesn't need more than 1200 calories in a day. 3 Nutella sandwiches is over 1600 calories= Not healthy. And no veg, fruit and other nutrients. Bad diet! From my understanding, the average requirement is 2000 calories a day for a woman. At 1200 a day, she would be losing weight.

My opinion on this matter is that it is 100% safe to fly during any trimester. If you have a miscarriage during or after flying, you probably would have had it had you not flown at all.
