We used Pickfords years ago and have just used them again (a few months ago) for our latest move, very pleased both times. Be aware that if you insure your items in transit then the cost can up to double (as in £3,000 x 2) if you have some high value items. If you ask the removal company rep for advice as to what to insure and the level of insurance you should take out, the theory is that they cannot advise you under FSA (I think that's the right Gov't agency) rules. Oh and just to add. One of the reasons that we used Pickfords is that it was packed by Pickfords in the UK and then unpacked by Pickfords in Dubai. So, if anything was lost / broken then it was down to Pickfords as opposed to Pickfords UK saying that it must have been the local (their appointed agent) company that unpacked the shipment. <em>edited by debliz on 12/10/2012</em>

There is not more violence happening in the world now than there was 50, 100 or 500 years ago. In most Western countries, crime has steadily been on the decline for decades now and when things do happen the perpetrators are more often caught than before. Media has simply changed to publish a story for its "shock value" rather than being newsworthy, and because of modern day information technology we have access to a MUCH larger source of this "news". In the 1950's, if someone got stabbed, robbed or assaulted two towns away we'd never hear of it simply because news didn't travel that far unless it was major. Nowadays there are no limits to how far and how quickly information travels. That is why the world seems a more violent place now than in the past, but it really isn't. Humans are animals and violence will probably always be a part of our existence, but it is not increasing. Please substantiate your claims and provide evidence <em>edited by debliz on 12/10/2012</em>

For those who may be interested DH went to ROP Vehicle Registering complex by the airport last Sunday to do this. Obviously, his first stop was to get full insurance (at the AXA kiosk at MCC as we were insured with them in DXB and they were able to confirm with AXA DXB that we had had no accidents etc and therefore had no claims). Unfortunately the kiosk was busy - took DH just over three and a half hours to get the insurance sorted out by the time he'd queued and waited to be attended to. Then off to the Vehicle Registering complex opposite the airport (this is convenient for us). Got a ticket and waited about 15 minutes and went to the desk and was told that he had to have the car tested so off to the testing area. Got in queue - number seven in queue and that took about another hour or so. Passed the test so back to the first office and got a ticket again. Another wait of about 30 minutes and then ten minutes or so to get paper work done, payment made and registration card issued. Then off to the place where they make the plates - another ten minutes or so - and then take the car and plates to the area where a couple of very helpful gentlemen fitted them to the car. We don't usually carry screwdrivers in the car lol! At least I don't think so ... Apparently registration can be done much faster (if you already have your insurance in place) on Al Nahdah (sp ?) Road where all the big garage/sales centres are if you go early in the morning but we had and still have no idea where this could be done as this is a part of Muscat about which we still know virtually nothing - apart from the fact that there is an enormous amount of road/anti-flood work going on there. Thankfully we're both retired and have the time to spend doing all this and DH had his iPhone to keep him company. Meanwhile I was at home playing with the latest gadgets DH bought me while we were back in Dubai getting everything sorted out to export the car - my new Dyson hoover and Karcher floor polisher. I'm still a bit puzzled as to which of us got the better end of this particular deal :(

There is something else to think about. If you buy something at Gitex it is possible that it will not have Face Time or iMessage (Google to see what they are), is it something that you think you might want. It can get rather complicated. Do you already have an Apple id?

Here's an example of the kind of hard drive you might want to look at: http://m.wdc.com/en/product/420/features There are similar disks by this manufacturer and others. This one has Thunderbolt and regular USB 2.0 as well.

That's exactly what we do and we have a big external hard drive attached to the Mac Mini. The only difference is that we use the set up for all our media. You may need to buy an HDMI cable to the signal from the Mac Minil to the TV, they're aboutn 125dhs (from memory)' and can be bought almost anywhere. The latest Mac Mini comes with 500GB of memory, so that's an awful lot of photos. If your photos are valuable to you then there is a function on the Mac Mini called Time Machine which will automatically back up anything on your Mac Mini to an external hard drive and it's so so easy to set up. If you decide to go this route and buy a hard drive then maybe go for one that has a Thunderbolt connection. Thunderbolt is the super fast cable that would connect your Mac Mini to the external hard drive. Western Digital makes several of the above and they do not need a separate a power supply as they are powered by the computer and quite small. Sorry if the above is too much detail. It may sound complex, but it's really very very easy. Any questions, send them in.

As spongemonkey says it depends how much you will want to move it around. If you have done the research on the Mac Mini you will obviously picked up that you will need a mouse, TV screen and keyboard. We have both MBP and Mac Mini, totally different functions, think the Mac Mini has only moved once in nearly 4 years whereas the MBP moves around almost on a daily basis. The quality of the screen could be better on the MBP, esp for photo editing. However, I think the Mac Mini represents fantastic value for money, even if you have to buy the accessories mentioned above. If you do a technical comparison between the two you will not notice much difference. Whatever you decide I don't think you will be disappointed, it's just a case of how mobile you want it to be and how much you want to pay.

@ Noddy2 - no it's not just you. DH was watching yesterday and I thought he was watching a football match or something similar. American crowds booing the Europeans, 'whooping and hollering' for their own players. Sadly this type of behaviour is manifesting itself in virtually all areas of so-called sport these days which is why I've given up watching any of it. It's just too depressing.

We bought 'fake' (plastic?) rattan garden furniture from Rattan House back in 2005 and while it's looking a bit tired now it's still going strong. We've moved away from Dubai now (just three months or so ago) and left some with our old home for it's new owners and some with our old neighbours for their children's play area. Yes, it was a lot more expensive than buying from Dragon Mart but we were very happy with the quality and the fact that it is still in use some seven years later says something about the quality and durability. The sets we bought also came with water resistant fabric on the cushions which was great because they were always used around the pool.

The menopause isn't a disease - it's a natural function in life ... just like having to endure periods for several decades which isn't much fun either, is it? I've several friends who have gone the HRT route (one of my sisters also did this after a hysterectomy) and, without fail, all regretted it. They said that it stopped the symptoms (night sweats etc etc) whilst on HRT but when they stopped it was like a volcano erupted inside them and the effects were 24/7 for months. Agree, the menopause isn't fun at all - it's distinctly disagreeable and, most of the time, downright dreadful, miserable, you feel it's intolerable, think when will it ever end, it seems to (and often does) go on for years and years and years and years. I also find it kind of odd that some people insist on buying organic produce because they believe that they are free of added hormones and/or other chemicals yet are willing personally to ingest hormones to stop\put off\delay what is, in effect, a perfectly natural stage in a female's life - that is to say the menopause.

It's pretty simple to propagate cuttings from both basil and mint from pot plants (or bunches if they're fairly fresh) bought in supermarkets. Simply select young shoots from either plant and strip off the lower leaves. Cut the stem across at a 90degree angle and put into a glass of water. After a week or so you'll see roots develop. Then you can plant these into pots which contain good soil or a good potting medium. Hey presto. Fresh herbs on demand. This works for tarragon, rosemary (takes a bit longer for the roots to develop because it's a 'woody' stemmed herb), thyme and most other herbs which can be bought in pots or even in packs in supermarkets.

Can someone please shed some light on this as I am new to Dubai, and a friend of mine still in the UK has been offered a great job here in Dubai. He was recently convicted of driving while disqualified, which in turn has given him a criminal record. I hear that now in the UAE they do CID checks with your home country, and he is very worried that if asked by his employer, it will jeopardise any chances of him getting a visa here when he tells them this. What are the rules here and how strict is the visa process? Do they actually do checks with your home country? Its not like he has been convicted of something threatheing to the public, although what he did was wrong, could it jeopardise him being able to work here? Thanks! :) What do you mean that what he did was of no threat to the public? He was driving whilst disqualified - therefore no insurance etc - and obvously has complete disregard for the rule of law in the UK. There are enough idiot drivers in the UAE without another being added to their number.

FaceTime works in the UAE provided you have it loaded on the operating system / gadget. The iPhone you bought was likely what is called a "grey import" which means that the retailer / seller did not source it from the country importer and got it from another source probably outside the UAE, this is quite common. As it came from outside the UAE it would have FaceTime installed. If you bought the MBP in Dubai and it was not a grey import then it will not have FaceTime. I think you need the latest operating system called Mountain Lion, not sure if it works on the previous operating system called Lion.

Teatro at Towers Rotana on SZR. Good bar, great atmosphere and food and something to suit any food requirements (pizza, pasta, noodles, curry, European, Asian, sushi & sashimi etc) and budget. And if there are quite a few of you there's an area beyond the wine cellar which will seat around 10 people or so. We're somewhat mature in age (approaching 60 now) but not necessarily in our dotage and this was our favourite restaurant for a relaxed evening out before we moved to Muscat. We're back in DXB in a couple of weeks' time and will definitely make a reservation there for one evening - just love their tempura prawns with wasabi mayo, the beef carpaccio, the mushroom risotto with truffles - now I'm hungry!

If you're looking for a birth control pill which contains levonorgestrel the reason you may not be able to find it here is that part of the reason it is used in contraceptive pills is that alters the lining of the womb so that an egg can't embed itself there. Ergo, a fertilised egg would (probably) not embed, therefore pregnancy wouldn't happen and thus, perhaps, abortion is assumed to have happened.

We had a Zanussi oven. Four gas hobs, two electric hobs and an electric oven. Best of both worlds for me - kind of - eventually. Still going strong after seven years and we think the new owners (to whom it was gifted) are getting used to it. We always had a spare gas bottle which DH could connect if the first ran out but on one occasion the regulator didn't work. At least we had the two electric hobs which meant that we could eat the meal I'd cooked that night - thankfully it was spag bol.

Just thought I'd add to this .... We sold our villa in AR in June. Apart from anything else you have to get an NOC from Emaar to be able to sell. To get this we had to provide our original Title Deed (we had no mortgage) and proof that our Community Charge had been paid up to the sale date. The NOC was only valid for two weeks, or something like that. The buyer also had to give proof of payment of Community Charge from the date of purchase up to the end of the next full quarterly period. On the completion date the first thing we were asked for at the Land Department was the Title Deed. We were fortunate in that the agent we used to sell our home used a Dubai-based conveyancing company. Their conveyancer walked us through the entire process - met us and the buyer at Emaar's offices to get the paperwork done there and, on the completion date, at the Land Department to make sure that the sale was completed smoothly. It helped that as this their speciality they knew the ropes, where there could be problems if paperwork wasn't completed correctly and the people at both Emaar and the Land Department.

Tried to charge my younger sisters a ha'penny every time they went upstairs! Sherbert fountains, fruit salad chewy sweets @ 4 for a penny, Curly Wurly toffee bars which we used to eat at the Cinema on a Saturday morning Picking fresh peaches with my BF Lynne (RIP) in Nowra and then both families getting in their boat and going up the Shoalhaven for a great day waterskiing and bbq fun.

@ simpleas - using my recipe 1 egg makes a single yorkshire pudding in an enamel 9"x 7" roasting tin which is just about enough for the two of us. That's also the quantity I use to make a 6 sausage toad in the hole in the same tin. I guess that it would make between 8 and 12 individual ones depending upon how much batter you put in. As for the fat, if I have to I use vegetable oil but I prefer to use beef dripping as it gets hotter than oil, not to mention tasting better. Duck or goose fat would be great, too.

The most foolproof recipe I've ever come across doesn't rely on weights at all. Everything is measured by volume. So in clear bowls measure equal volumes of eggs, milk (full fat seems to work better than low fat) and self-raising flour. Put all into a big bowl and whisk to form a light batter. Rest in the fridge for half an hour before using. Before using give one last good whisk to aerate the batter, add a pinch of salt and pour into a jug for ease of pouring. This will also mean that the fat has less time to cool while you pour the batter. And yes, get the fat in the tins almost smoking hot before pouring the batter in.

We ran our pool pumps four hours on/four hours off all year as recommended by our maintenance company. Our pool was heated and chilled - heated to 30c in winter and chilled to 30c in summer. As Ashes said, in the hotter months bacteria will build up (even at lower water temperatures) and if you're going to heat your pool in the colder months it's doubtful that having the pumps running for just six hours/day is going to maintain a comfortable temperature. This assumes that your heater system works via the pumps, ie heated water enters the pool when the pumps are working replacing cooler water already in the pool, which is how our system worked. As for your pool heater being on for the last month, unless the thermostat was set at something above 36c the heater probably wasn't even working so it may not have had any bearing on your DEWA bill. Again, this assumes that your pool heater system has a thermostat. To be honest, if you have a new pool and the heater was installed at the same time I'd get in touch with the company and ask them to explain how everything is supposed to work and the optimum way to use it.

We used Pickfords to move from UK to Dubai in 2005 and have recently used them again for relocation to Muscat. No problems either time and will used them again if needed. For our recent move from DXB to MCT (early June) it took four days to pack everything up and the team were excellent, expecially as the last three days were done with no A/C or water (DEWA, for once, were super efficient) although we did keep them supplied with a huge cooler of chilled water and snacks. Their move co-ordinator called every day to make sure that all was going well. On arrival in MCT they use agents called Swift Connections and they, too, were brilliant - managed to unload and unpack 275 boxes/crates in two days and not one thing broken or lost. Yes, they are more expensive than some other companies but we figured that as this was our entire lives that they were moving it was worth every dirham.

Make sure you have insurance to drive your car in Oman. As coffee_mate has said, leave early - the borders will be very busy. Would suggest you go via Hatta (E44). Once through both border crossings (Hatta on the UAE side and Wajaja on the Oman side) carry straight on into Shinas. At the roundabout turn right and, basically, keep on going until you get to Muscat. After the first roundabout at Shinas there are something like 18 or 19 further roundabouts until you reach Muscat and you go straight across all of them. As you approach Muscat, however, there are a lot of roadworks so be prepared for diversions. Things to watch out for? Occasionally goats and cows on the road (in the rural areas before you get to Muscat), taxis stopping unexpectedly to pick up a fare or drop off a fare from/at the roadside (many taxis in Oman are shared). Have a great time.

Ah, forgot to mention "My Big Redneck Vacation". Last series was about the Clampett family (yes really!) from Illinois who took a house in the Hamptons for the summer. The latest series recently started and the TV company has, apparently, this time sent them all to the UK to stay in a castle somewhere where they have a staff of butler etc. TBH we're waiting until the entire series is broadcast (we're downloading and saving at the moment) and then we'll watch as many episodes as we want to at one go. That reminds me - Bayou Billionaires. Also, don't know where you have your computer/laptop/PC but ours is in the family room where we spend most of our time and certainly where I spend a great deal of my time cooking, ironing etc. I simply LOVE listening to the radio and BBC iPlayer is great if you like that kind of thing. My favourites are things like "I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue", "Just a Minute" (http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/radio/categories/comedy) and dramas/plays which I find here - http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/radio/categories/drama.

What kind of TV do you enjoy? We watch all kinds of stuff - University Challenge (which just proves to us both that we're both dumb - rarely understand the questions but it makes it all the sweeter when we do get an answer right) QI, Have I got News for You, lots of US rubbish which makes us laugh (Ice Pilots, AxMen, Ice Road Truckers, Mounted in Alaska and loads more like it), AUS and NZ programmes, NatGeo stuff both about wildlife etc and engineering type things. If you like police dramas then you could look for (apart from CSI, Cold Case etc): Saving Grace Dexter Scott & Bailey Vera Numbers and depending upon what you like to watch and depending upon which search engine you use you can download entire series of programmes such as Midsomer Murders, Dalziel & Pascoe, Silent Witness etc Not to mention any number of cookery shows such as Masterchef UK, AUS, NZ, USA: Top Chef US, Canada: Iron Chef

We're in a villa in Arabian Ranches and have used tap water for everything. In the winter months we have no problem drinking it because it is cold, at all times of the year we use it to make ice cubes (don't have one of those fridges with an in-built ice making facility which uses bottled water), it goes in the kettle, we cook with it, brush our teeth with it. We have, though, had our external water tank cleaned a couple of times which, to be honest, hasn't really increased our DEWA bill enormously and nobody who has ever stayed with us or come to us for an evening has ever become ill because we use tap water for the ice to put in their drinks or for cooking their food or making their coffee. We do have a stand alone water cooler which is mainly used during the summer months (we re-use our water bottles by refilling from this - and only use these refilled bottles ourselves) and we do keep a supply of chilled half litre bottles in one of our fridges to hand out to gardeners who keep our streets and parks looking lovely, pool cleaners, taxi drivers, the guys who empty our dustbins and anybody else who knocks on our door such as Aramex delivery drivers etc.

Our car insurance certificate is sent to us by email so we have to print it off ourselves. So, just in case there are coloured inks in the original which is sent to us we always print it off in full colour. We've never had a problem producing this certificate at the border and we've made around 20 visits to Muscat in the last two years or so.

Got the sign on my kitchen wall. It says, "My idea of housework is to sweep the room with a glance". Unfortunately while this works most of the time occasionally it means that one simply has to don the rubber gloves and get down and dirty. And the sense of achievement once the villa is spick and span and sweet smelling simply can't be bettered. Of course once this is achieved it's most definitely time to pull a cork and celebrate a job well done!

Just get onto the 44 Hatta road and drive towards Hatta and you will come to loads of pot stalls and carpet sellers. We used to go in the morning (you can bargain well as you will be the first deal of the day!) and then carry on down the road to Hatta Fort Hotel for lunch and then come back with the car full of our purchases! It's only about an hour - Masafi is a much longer drive. If you're going this route remember to take your passport as you'll need it to pass through the checkpoints either side of the Omani enclave just after Madam. The pot shops are after the enclave.

derien: we currently pay 600/month for maintenance. When we had the smaller pool it was 250/month. Add the water charges, approx 1600 onto that and it is quite costly... When you say add the water charges of approx 1600/month do you mean that is the proportion of your DEWA bill which is water for the entire household (perhaps including irrigation of your garden) or have you isolated that amount as extra for topping up the pool? We are only two in a three bed villa and have a pool which is 4m x 6m x 1.1m deep (more a large plunge/leisure pool than a swimming pool) but as one side of our pool has an infinity edge we have a balance tank which keeps the pool topped up at all times. However, the water content of our DEWA bill has never been above 180dhs/month even during the summer or in the winter months when we have visitors. And yes, we do bath or shower at least once a day, always wear clean clothes and sleep in clean bedding lol

If you're driving: a) don't forget to get your exit stamp at the Hatta border post b) make sure your vehicle is insured for driving in Oman and take the certificate with you as they'll ask to see it at the Oman border post.

Teatro at Towers Rotana on SZR. Just let them know when/if you make the booking. Bonus is that it's not just one kind of cuisine - curry, pizza, European, noodles, sushi & sashimi etc ... pretty much something for everyone.

Donny Osmond, clackers, Jackie, playing canasta ... I'd forgotten about them. Does anybody remember loons - those ridiculously wide flared jeans and those stinky afghan coats? Biba? Ready, Steady, Go? Watch With Mother - Andy Pandy ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLLI7V-xcQA

We've only ever stayed outside of our villa for (recommended) four hours and the company have done this annually (villa and garden) for the last three years (a precautionary measure not necessarily required). We don't have young ones though so perhaps they would recommend staying away for a little longer. We have recommended on here before and here are the contact numbers: Tel: 04 359 99605 email: [email protected] or try Henry on 050 785 9769

Ditto MAK Pools. They have been servicing our pool for over four years now and we have no complaints at all.
