Hugs to you Shazman, losing a pet is always hard. But good on you for keeping in touch with their previous family. After having no choice but to give them up (I know how hard that is) I am sure they have been glad to hear updates and can come and say goodbye. I hope to see my rehomed dogs again one day. As for your question, I joined so long ago on a friends recommendation. Then left for a while as I moved and was really busy and then rejoined on a whim one day a couple of years ago I think and have been passing by ever since!

your guess is as good as mine. our relocation agent wants me to sign on two flats that have an adjoining door so that i can have 'private time' with my husband and leave my son in the other apartment (raised eyebrow emoticon) That just made me snort out loud, how funny is that? (Although I could see his point of view sometimes...). :)

Maybe next time you could say (with a big ditzy smile on your face of course) "I don't mean to offend sir, but I think you may possibly be mistaken in what you are trying to tell me, I realise it would not be intentional and you are only telling me what some foolish underling has wrongly told you, but may I kindly request that you check the answer again?!". It doesn't quite roll off the tounge but if you can't say BS at least you can try and baffle them with it :D Exactly!! The more confused they are, the more they are likely to give you what you want, just to get rid of you!! ;)

But quite seriously, is there somewhere a list of words one cannot use? What if I had said bullpoop? Would that have been acceptable? Or if I had said something offensive, but not quite swearing - ie, "Your nose is large and ugly and something is hanging from it," - would that have landed me in Bur Dubai? Is the law just a vague, "you can't swear"? As the replies below (Thanks, Lakshmi!) demonstrate, what is swearing to one person is not swearing to all. Maybe I need to get a job. Basically, anything that anyone might deem personally offensive (which, let's face it could be ANYTHING in Dubai) is best not said... Don't think 'bullpoop' would be okay either (although I like it, might start using that one, lol!). Maybe next time you could say (with a big ditzy smile on your face of course) "I don't mean to offend sir, but I think you may possibly be mistaken in what you are trying to tell me, I realise it would not be intentional and you are only telling me what some foolish underling has wrongly told you, but may I kindly request that you check the answer again?!". A tad long winded, haha, but might avert a trip to the clink! ;)

Just after we were married I asked what DH thought as he saw me walking down the aisle... the reply was... "I thought you looked like your Mum". Boo hoo, my Mum is gorgeous and very good looking for her age, buuuutttt... He tried to dig himself out of the hole by explaining that I was wearing eyeliner which I don't usually, (but my Mum always does) but had had my make-up done by a 'professional'and they had said it would look nice... Hmmm.

As a child / teenager I never swore, would have got a crack from my parents if they had heard me, but then, because of a couple of jobs I had in the past, I heard a lot of swearing and it somehow got into my vocabulary. I am now trying to curb it as I have a LO and she is just at that age of repeating everything I say, lol. I would never swear directly at a person, especially a stranger in a shop, and [i'>especially[/i'> in Dubai! I tend to swear if I drop something, stub my toe, or at the TV etc. I don't mind a bit of swearing if it's in the right place, but for some people, more and more, every other word is effing this and effing that, crass and unimaginative. And when I hear it coming out of a teenager's mouth, well, I just want to give them a smack round the head... and if I hear the "C" word from anyone, they have lost all respect from me, it's disgusting and totally unnecessary.

I think its best to encourage children to use their instincts. And I hate to say it, [b'>but to not trust anyone outside of their family.[/b'> I know it sounds paranoid...but better to be safe and paranoid than sorry. Also, I have seen a lot of girls, wearing necklaces in arabic or english spelling their name. This is such a bad idea. Any stranger can come up to them and say "hi xxxx, your mom sent me to pick you up and give you a ride home. her car broke down" or whatever story they make up. Those name plate necklaces are an easy way for stranger to start talking to you kid or insist that they have met before...etc... Sorry to say, but you can't always trust family either... A lot of abuse that goes on is by a known member of the family. I would say that a child should know from as young as possible that no-one (apart from say a doctor, and accompanied by a family member in a clinic situation etc) has the right to touch their private parts and they should be comfortable enough to tell you if someone does or even tries to, even if the perpetrator has threatened them or their family or said that mum/dad won't believe them / that something bad will happen if they do tell and that if someone says 'you're special, it will be our little secret', they should also tell you.

I think the whole things is cruel. Some kids cannot have 100% attendance through no fault of their own. DD has to go to hospital every 2nd Thursday. That is 2 -3 days of every month off school. Glad they don't do that here. ETA Yes, Sals you are right, they should have been given something. edited by Servants Quarters on 17/01/2011 I agree with the attendance thing. My sister's kids go to a school where they do this but my niece couldn't go on the trip because she had time off school - she had to have her adenoids out and grommets in!! Hardly choice. I think it is a good incentive for those who have 'I just don't feel like going to school' days but there should be extenuating circumstance that don't count, such as operations and long term illness that necessitates absence. However, I also understand that this kind of policy would be hard for the school to police... As for the snacks, not sure about that. Would they have been having snacks at the time they were in the cinema if they had just been at school? If so then yes, if not, then I don't see it as really necessary for a couple of hours.

I often see gorgeous moms on the pool, they have one or two kids and slim, flat bellies. I do have a fat belly and I do not even have kids yet!, my husband knows that my body is not great, [b'>he just loves me the way I am.[/b'> I am not overdoing it, I really just have a quite average body, and I would loooove to go from average to good. What a lovely husband you have! If you haven't had children yet (and I gather from the way you have said it, then you plan to have them in the future?), then why have surgery?! Save your money, wait until you have had the children. Exercise in the meantime, a personal trainer will make a world of difference, honestly, and then (and only then) when the child bearing is done, maybe think about doing something about it, but trust me - no point now, lol!! Besides you do know, that this type of surgery can go wrong too - you may end up looking lumpy and far worse than you do now, no matter how good the surgeon is - nothing is guaranteed. Try assisted exercise first, please?

Just my opinion but.... You should listen to your husband. I am sure you are just being overly self-critical. Maybe use the money on a personal trainer to help with your stubborn area. Accept your imperfections, we all have them, and learn to love yourself as you are, I am sure you are gorgeous just as you are!

Sorry, but the mother should be shot. In my humble opinion this [b'>IS [/b'>child abuse. The child clearly did not want this, nor did she need it. Mind you that whole pageant thing freaks me out a bit! I know most little girls love to dress up in Mummy's shoes and play with her make-up, but to me it's just a bit too extreme with all the tans / make-up and posing in swimsuits for adults to judge them. YUK! As an adult why would you want to look at little girls done up like that, weird?! :\:

I'm in the UK and as I desperately need something to even help a little (nothing short of surgery is going to sort MY face out!!) I looked this up. There seems to be two types, a 'beauty' serum and an 'intense' serum. Which one does anyone think is the best? I am assuming with my wrinkes I'll need 'intense' but some 'beauty' wouldn't go amiss either, haha!

It is illegal for a maid to work for someone other than her sponsor. So, no legally she would not be able to do part time work for others. I believe the fine for the sponsor if the maid is found doing this is AED 50 000.

Leave your car at home and catch a taxi to work on the day concerned? Then you can catch a taxi to the airport from work, one back home after your trip and your car will already be at home... Or ask a friend to give you a lift in that day. As a one off I am sure a friend would help you out? LOL - had I thought a bit more, I may have caught a taxi from home, but since the flight day is today, well.... :) Oh, shame... maybe a lovely boss who will allow you to quickly take your car home and come back to work in a taxi...? Or a work colleague who could follow you home and bring you back...?

Go for it!! So long as I'm with my DH I'll go anywhere.... We left Dubai for his job. Hadn't even visited the place as it was so tiny and remote and too expensive to get there for the company to pay for us to do a fact finding trip. We rocked up literally off the boat with a 10 WEEK old baby, a rented flat for 2 weeks with no idea if we would actually find somewhere to live after that (no company base established there so they couldn't help...). Also within a month our cat and 2 dogs were following us so we needed [i'>somewhere[/i'> to live! Best adventure ever! Sadly the job was cancelled and we were shipped back to the UK where we are now, awaiting something else coming up and I will follow him wherever he goes! :)

@ Cheeky Monkey, your cat is probably this cats father because they sound so similar!!! shame you never found him, but I bet he is happily roaming around the free spirit he is. I hope not! He was neutered as soon as he was old enough :\: And I would love to think he just chose to set up home somewhere else, for all his madness he was as soft as a pudding with people!

AdviceSeeker, thanks for that, guess he's not my boy then since he was about 6 years old when he disappeared! Shame though, would have loved it to have been him and for him to be safe and loved. Sound like he might be related though, Fred used to go missing for a few days too and then come back when he was hungry, he also once jumped out of a bush and attacked a passing dog that was minding it's own business and made the mistake of sniffing in the wrong place! Free spirit indeed and I could never have made him into a house cat... sad though. Glad this guy has turned up again! :)

Cheeky, another way you can tell is if you have a good face picture of your cat and compare the markings :). anyway, I sent the guy who is feeding her a message so he will get back I am sure ;) would that not be lovely if it was your boy!!! I have a reasonable face picture of him and he is scarily similar, although when he went missing I had loads of sightings of 'him' that weren't actually. He has one of 'those' faces I guess!! I look forward to hopefully hearing if he has that 'go faster' stripe...

OMG thats not a girl cat, thats a boy cat, and I know the owners... this is the most annoying cat ever! it runs away all the time, and leaves for days at a time and then comes back for 3 days rest and food, then when out for the toilet disappears... He is neutered and that collar is a new one which I gave my friend to put on him since the other collar came off in his last expedition... How can they be contacted to arrange pickup? Don't suppose they got him as a rescue sometime since about January 2008 did they..? sounds just like my boys old habits! Wouldn't be trying to claim him though if he has a good home - I've moved countries twice since he went missing and am now back in the UK. But if he really was a stray with no home and was my boy I'd try and bring him back here.

Hi Sue, I tried to comment on the facebook page but couldn't for some reason. Do you know by any chance if this cat is definitely female? Our male cat went missing a couple few years ago and is remarkably similar (although the one in the pic looks quite a bit thinner than our tubster). I know it's almost 99.9% likely to NOT be ours, especially if it is definitely a female, haha, but I had to ask... He has a faint tattoo in his ear and was microchipped although I know sometimes they 'move' so may seem as though they aren't chipped. The other tell tale sign is a white 4 inch or so 'go faster' stripe down his spine. Thank you.

Hugs to you BB! There is no logic at all sadly, just the way some cultures are. If he really repents his actions then he must do all the work to prove he has changed. Why on earth should you 'ask' him back? Do you even [i'>want[/i'> him back? From what I remember you are much better off without him anyway. If you do want him back then maybe you could make it a bit easier for him by agreeing to meet him, but I would say he has some serious talking / repenting and [i'>proving[/i'> to you that he has changed before you even consider letting him back near the house. Good luck.

I have NO interest in the personal life of ANY celebrity to be honest, however I say good luck to them all, A, B and C listers, especially the C-listers - I admire anyone who makes money simply from people poking around in their (rather boring in my opinion) private lives. I'm not interested in what the woman down the road is doing, why the heck would I be interested in a Big Brother contestants / pop stars / footballers goings on?! Who's the fool?

Hugs to the girl, what a nightmare situation! As SueB said, can she not sell the property? When did she buy it? If she bought it early and can sell it to cover the mortgage then she should do that straight away. At least that will save her the 5K a month and the worry of possibly not having a tenant in at some point in the future with regards the mortgage. Other than that really all she can do is keep her head down, her belt tightened and keep paying as much of her debt off as she can. Oh, and don't enter Dubai until she is sorted..! Good luck to her! Ps. Don't suppose anyone at home could lend her a bit just to keep the wolves from the door?

DR are you sure you havn't muddled the BA hostess who delivered in SA from Dubai or the one who was taken in to the desert and raped? Do you have any news link to the one you are referring to because with a quick google i can't find it and most cases are somewhere on the net. The dumping the baby part might be more of an issue in this case. No jane I'm not muddling cases up. I didnt even know about the two you're referring to. As for links - I'm sorry but I won't be posting any. It happened and people have probably moved on quite a bit from when it did. I can confirm this. It was a while ago and although I didn't know the girl personally I knew of her. It was kept quiet for obvious reasons and not sure it was even in the papers.

All I can say is poor, poor baby (and that is for the newborn [i'>and [/i'>the 18 year old). As I was reading this I looked at my 2yr old baby girl and could only wonder how I would feel if this happened to her and she felt she couldn't come to me for help... what a very sad, desperate situation. As for saying that the grandparents would surely not allow their grandchild to go into an orphanage, well, who knows?! After all there are cases in certain cultures (whether they are 'British' or not) where parents will murder their own grown child for 'disgracing the family name'. If this poor 18 year old is from one of those cultures then she may well be abandoned to her fate, and her illegitimate child too and I could see how this sad story could unfold in the first place. My heart goes out to them both.

My cousin lives in Sydney and sent me the Faries from: http://www.wallallure.com/wall-sticker-range/kids-wall-stickers They are great and have jungle ones. Not sure if they ship to Dubai, but on their stockists section on the website there is an online section as well as the shops that stock them and maybe one of them might ship to Dubai if the site itself doesn't...

Very roughly chop up whatever veg you have around, (if you are going to the shop then get celery, carrots, onions, and 2 or 3 red, orange or yellow peppers) add a stock cube (I like beef, but chicken or veg is fine), definitely add a couple of garlic cloves, and a tin of toms, boil for 10-15 mins and then blitz. Simple, easy quick and very yum. You can also add some creme fraiche or even cream if you can afford the calories (or just don't care) if you like your soup creamy.

Somebody once said; 'Having a British passport is like winning first prize in the lottery of life'. I agree. How so? You are joking? (arn't you) I'm sure they would soon change their mind on arrival at Gatwick/Heathrow airport and having to live in such places as Tower Hamlets or where ever they go. [b'>I think this obtaining a British passport=better life idea is a massive misconception[/b'>. I wish this idea would spread around the world so [i'>some[/i'> people would give up pushing in with absolutely nothing to offer and no intention of attempting to give anything back, using the NHS, sending benefits they've claimed out of the country and then whinging about how awful the UK is and how horrid we are to them... and giving a bad name to the genuine, hard working immigrants who come to the UK to EARN a better life for their families and are not a burden on society. We have enough layabouts on the take who are unfortunately entitled by heritage to a UK passport... can't do much about them!

But what is the difference between someone who is Indian or African - going to the UK, living working and contributing to the economy and getting British citizenship/passport AND someone who is half Asian/half British whose parents have never lived in the UK and who themselves have never lived in the UK and that person getting British citizenship/passport? Do you get my point now? And if if (b) should not be entitled to a British passport, which passport should they get? They've never lived in the other country either. They've only lived in a country where they can't get a passport. The point is, the whole system is messed up. And the most ridiculous thing is people of certain nationalities not being allowed in different countries without visas etc. everyone should have the same nationality and the same passport. We'd all be the same then. :) No, I totally disagree with you. I think people should have passports based on where they originate from (i.e. where their parents are from originally) it's ridiculous for someone born in India/Africa or where ever to come to the UK for a few years and then say they are British, it's a farce! Regardless of whether they contribute to the economy or not, that is irrelevant. It would be like me saying to everyone I'm Emirati now because I have been in Dubai for 7 years and contributed to the economy! I agree with you jwal. I (British) worked in Dubai for 7.5 yrs, my husband (British even though born abroad) worked in Dubai for 13 yrs, that does not ever make us Emirati! My daughter was born in the UAE, what passport should she have? British of course! It doesn't, and shouldn't, matter where she physically arrived into the world, it is her heritage that gives her her nationality, not place of birth... certain people only want a British passport because of the benefits they get out of it, not for the pride of being able to say they are 'British' which is the real shame. I think people should be proud of where they come from, not change nationality for benefits, that, in my humble opinion is selling yourself (and your country) out - for money.

The father of the child is British, born in Nigeria. His first born will be born in Dubai. I understand the baby has the same passport as his father (British). Will the baby's passport be a British citizen's passport or a British subject's passport. What is the difference. We want the baby to live in the UK later on and have the same rights as his parents. I am confused and would welcome some guidance. Thank you. if a child is born outside uk, and then has a child it must be born in the uk otherwise it will have to go through all the red tape and not get a brit passport automatically. my 2nd son was born in abu dhabi, and his children must be born in uk to qualify automatically for a brit passport Not necessarily though as my husband was born outside the UK (as were HIS parents), but our daughter who was born in Dubai, has a British passport and got it automatically. But I think that was a fairly recent change (she is 2.5) and to do with MY nationality... it's all very confusing. Best bet if there is any doubt is to have the baby in the UK...

Not sure if it is any help but... I am born and bred British (my parents the same), husband has British passport, but also born in Africa (parents also born in a different country but grandparents born and bred British I think), daughter born in Dubai and she has a British passport and can therefore live in the UK. However, technically, her children would have to be born in Britain for them to have a British passport if the baby's father wasn't British. Sorry if I have confused you even more...? What nationality is the baby's mother as that counts now (as in our case) whereas it didn't used to?
