We're also very fortunate not to have met any of these people...all our friends are decidedly "normal" and I've yet to meet any of the usual Dubai stereo-types so I don't know what percentage that would put me in !!

Instead of these constant threads about how quiet it is/how many dull threads etc, can't anyone think up some interesting topics. Make it up if you have to!!! (Cucumber seller/mango slicing for the maid etc) cba - easier to go elsewhere ...

I thought Guinness was an Irish thing? It's like a loaf of bread in a jar. Not to my taste. But if I had a yard full of kids running around and it was the only thing in the fridge, I would become a fan instantly. LOL !! and yes, it's an Irish thing...

That's what she was doing, I was stating a FACT and not a stereotype. I didn't even know "ALL british people spend their lives enjoying" that. Hahahaha erm do we need to introduce you to sarcasm?

I've commented on one post, but there's nothing else of interest to me Same. I could always start a thread about roadworks though. Grrrrrrrrrrrr :( How was your journey into work? Not as bad as I expected, although I think a number of people are off today. My gripe was the fact that more people will be using the Al Khail and then onto Financial Centre Road and the part where you sweep round to the left from Al Khail, now has even more roadworks and one less lane. Why, at a time when they know that there will be more traffic using this route. :( My husband was chatting to someone at the RTA and he said their temporary/diversion roads were supposed to have the same number of lanes as the original... This appears to just be a lane closure, or two, while they do something ????? I read somewhere that the map we posted before was only supposed to be for the weekend while they lay down the actual diversion...so it's the diversion of the diversion... lolol

OMG! Nothing better to do 'ave ya? Did you consider the hostess was probably too busy with organising her daughter's birthday party to worry about you! Aren't you capable just to ask for a drink instead of standing there waiting to be asked? Sorry, by saying 'is this a British thing'?

Thanks for filling in the blank Zannie - only one thing worse than an offensive post and that's a post that no longer makes sense because the writer has removed the offending bit !! lol I just hope I never invite the OP to any of our parties - they're fraught enough as it is without the added stress of knowing visiting mums are there with their score cards...and why are you hanging around anyway ? Unless it's to offer the frazzled hostess some much needed support...oh...easier just to expect to be waited on and then complain afterwards.... I know the forum's slow these days but this is scraping the barrel...sorry... I hope so too since you're obviously not reading the post and just adding more drama with your instigating. :) If you're sitting in the AC drinking your Guinness watching TV with your friends while strangers are at your home melting outside then a host is not what I would label you. so how much more offensive do you want to get ? Put the shovel down.... please Offensive? Didn't I take the offensive part down and apologized for it? Why are you dragging this on? Enough already....please.

Why do some societies discriminate against single women, widows and divorcées for the simple fact that they do not have a man to give them a name, a title, an identity? I think when societies discriminate against women, those who often judge, carry and execute this discrimination are none other than other women. Why don't you ask on your own forum ? lol I'd play except that I can't answer because i'm not aware of the discrimination of which you speak... Have obviously led a sheltered life... lol

Blimey... It's not a case of flexibility - i'm sure if your child had been ill and you'd given them a decent notice they'd have been happy to accommodate you, but they are running a business and a no-show is a no-show. I suggest you get yourself a diary and write all your appointments down as far ahead as you can..we find a magnetic white-board on the fridge works well.. school life can get very complicated with after school activities etc.. You could also encourage your son to remember which days he has what..

I agree with every point raised; the forum should be more user friendly and the suggestions aren't reasonable. But I'm sure if any of you can offer the coding, programming or time needed and give it to EW, you'd get what you want a lot faster!! Clearly as EW Admin have pointed out, they're working on things. Plus, EW Admin mentioned avatars? They'd be cool!! I think there are some here who CAN do all that but are maybe doing it elsewhere !! lol eta yes, avatars would be cool !! <em>edited by Doubting Thomas on 22/10/2014</em>

I don't know if I am just being thick (probably!) but when you click the button at the button 'Watch replies to this thread', how do you get notified of the replies and where is this? I click this a lot but don't get notified of when the thread gets a reply?! I have to keep refreshing the menu page to check this... Sorry if this is so obvious - I am blonde ;) You have to click the "threads I am following" and they will be displayed (if they haven't been deleted, which happens to most of the ones I follow !! lol)

This has been mentioned more than once in the past, but the way the login system works on the forum is very poorly implemented. Now that the site is global, how about bringing it into line with global forum protocol?

You have to come right out of the forum, log in, and then find your own way back to wherever you were. Not exactly user-friendly! The global forum protocol for this situation is that you click the reply/new thread button, the site tells you that you need to log in and takes you to the login page, and then [b'>it automatically takes you back to exactly where you were.[/b'> Seriously, pretty much every forum in the world works like that. It's the standard, accepted way of doing it, and it's obviously far more user-friendly and professional. I've genuinely never encountered another forum that works in the irritatingly user-hostile way the EW one does.

I get friend requests from men all the time - usually American soldiers or Africans...you have the option to block them or report them. Also, in your "other" inbox there may be messages from the same type of men telling you how your profile pic is so beautiful blah blah...don't worry - they probably won't even have seen it they just send the message to hundreds of women..I know they haven't seen my pic by some of the things they say !! so I wouldn't worry about it too much...

dear Chocobella; no I am not a saint, nor do I think I was insulted nor taken for granted. I am just hesitant to judge someone's character on the basis of these one-minute encounters because these few minutes' rude encounters dont give us enough evidence to make a judgement on the rude-behaving person. Okay, someone might have been rude at that moment, but may be in the next moment they went to the charity box and put a lot of cash in it because they felt bad. We just dont know. Thats all I am saying. And I know that I dont know, so I try not to judge. I also know there are no benefits in confronting rude people because chances are they will not be in the correct state to imbibe advice and, two, it does nothing for the emotional and physical health (increased blood pressure, stress levels) of the advice-giver. And anyway who am I to go around correcting rude behaviour like the moral police, as I might be equally rude without knowing it five minutes later. To me these rude episodes in the public are tests for me: am I patient? Can my reaction of patience to their rudeness defuse the situation? Often that is more beneficial anyway, patience and calmness are cooling states while rudeness is hot; so best put out the fire (of anger, rudeness) with some cooling water of calmness and trying to help or understand rather than adding to the fire. Can you not see that rude is just RUDE ? No excuses, no tests of your patience, no cultural differences, no need to understand - either a person is rude or they aren't...True, there's no obligation for others to acknowledge the rude behaviour - we can all choose to ignore it but by doing so we are further enabling the rudeness and the culprit will continue, blissfully unaware that their attitude is unacceptable...

The answer is pull in bus stops. You can’t legislate for ejeets but you can reduce the risk ejeet pose. There are plenty of bus stop laybys around the Ranches but the school buses choose to stop wherever they feel like, including pavements !!

I actually need to hunt down this grey/dark silver E _____ Fortuner that was driven down the Avenue St (?) of Al Reem 3 towards the security booth, we have mixed up the digits of her plate number!

When I was chosing a villa in spring, something inside of me told me that I should avoid the Ranches... We took a house at Victory Heights and now we can leave house at the last moment in the morning without to worry to be stuck at the exit. Could you tell me why everybody dreams to live in Ranches???? It is overpriced and overcrowded... Our eldest was at JESS - I can only take one to school so we decided as the eldest it was easier for him to get himself to school... And, apart from the traffic issue, it's still a lovely place to live - lakes, pools and parks, nice retail centre and golf club...when the weather's cooler it's a lovely place to walk. <em>edited by Doubting Thomas on 20/10/2014</em>
