I only ask because ... well, I was in this sort of quandary a while back and I ended up buying a few [don't laugh'> large tea towels and sewing them together for an outfit. They weren't Brit flags, but the same 'look' applied. There are heaps of Union Jack tea towels on Amazon UK that can be Aramex'd very quickly and cheaply and they would make a great Geri-dress at a pinch [if you can't find someone with the real thing'>. No one will be able to tell the difference; it'll be a mini-skirt look, it'll have the 'feel' of what you want ... and if you can't sew, I bet there's someone in Satwa who can run up an outfit in a day or so. Sorry. Wish I could give better advice. Good luck.

Interesting, but I always thought stuffed vine leaves were a delicacy of the Levant countries and Greece, not part of Emirati traditional cuisine. They had TWO types! One was mild and full of rice and just ... oh my word, I am drooling now; so delicious. The other was VERY spicy and lemon-y, very strong in flavour, so I probably preferred the first one ... but it was all good. Oh, and they had little cubes of potato in an almost 'tempura'-like batter, a lamb thing with with pomegranate, some spinach (I think?) with a delicious dressing ... a lot of it was heated up too. Sublime. :)

PS. Should add -- about the office itself where I am working in AD -- that it has bee so SO wonderful. First day [Sunday'> the Emirati girls brought in massive plates of snacks [vine leaves and all sorts of delicious goodies that they had made themselves'> and they prepared huge plates of food, and they delivered these gorgeous individual plates for us to enjoy mid-morning. Delicious. We were *so* touched ... what a lovely welcome. :) . <em>edited by LadyBee on 22/04/2014</em>

I've enjoyed great 'full days' at the Westin Mina Seyahi, but I think you have to negotiate to get the goodies of lunch/bubbles/etc for a 'full package' deal. I'm sure they do it though. The spa is called 'Heavenly'. Hope you find somewhere nice. Have fun. http://www.westinminaseyahi.com/en/heavenly-spa-dubai

First time I've worked in a largely Emirati-staffed office [govt'> and weird thing [to me'> was that in the ladies bathroom on a shelf by the washbasins, are a row of make-up bags and small 'gift bag'-sized carry bags all nestled together. There are also bags hanging from hooks in the bathroom stalls. I am assuming that these little bags belong to the Emirati women on our floor so that they don't have to carry their gear to the ladies every time they want to use the facilities and 'touch up' their make-up. If so: very sweet that they are so trusting to leave all their personal bits there, but I've never seen this in a 'Western' bathroom. Am I correct or just assuming things? ETA: I'm the only Western woman on the floor/in the govt department. And I carry my stuff to-and-fro when required! :) . <em>edited by LadyBee on 22/04/2014</em>

Sad fact is: many of us hire based on the skill set of the potential applicant and I know that alarm bells -- for me, at least -- do tingle faintly when certain nationalities apply for positions for which they are essentially unsuited. I am, for my sins, more likely to look more closely at those for whom English is a second language when my priority is employing someone with A+ British English because there are certain requirements for some positions which simply cannot suit some people, irrespective of their list of degrees and work experience. I learned the hard way when a technical writer from a certain populous nation peppered his phrases with 'Hinglish' phrases and spellings that may have made perfect sense to him and his compatriots, but would have put off potential clients due to what *they* would see as elementary errors. This writer had already had his work amended by a qualified English editor but he changed everything BACK to his original phrasing because he thought it was 'better' ... which resulted in eight hours of extra re-editing time, putting the project proposal in jeopardy. Had the clients been Indian and familiar with the phrases this writer used, then in all likelihood, he would have been perfect for the job. But the clients were a split of Emirati and British directors and they would have viewed the proposal as an insult in many respects ... and they would have wondered whether we could address the project itself with the professionalism they believed it deserved. That's just my story though. And the above incident has no doubt coloured my opinion of the ability of ESL speakers to cope with a particular role and as a result, I am more wary. But one would -- surely -- sooner employ a medical doctor from a recognised school than an enthusiastic naturopath so I stand by my choices. Some employers are looking for certain things and some nationalities or rather, people -- irrespective of their nationality -- cannot make the grade according to the requirements demanded by the job and the company doing the hiring. I'd never be rude about it though. And I always ALWAYS give people actual feedback as to why they were not successful for a role. Because you're [insert nationality here'> is NOT a reason. Because you don't fulfill our requirements in *these* areas IS a reason.

I should add that while we were in Doha, I did do the full time housewife bit as I couldn't get a nursing post so had a lot of time on my hands. DH worked long hours so of course I didn't expect him to chip in with the housework as well. Prior to that I was working full time doing shift work so yes, I expected him to do his share of the domestic stuff. I have had to remind him that yes, we are both retired now but there is still a house to clean and care for LOL! :) Exactly. When you're both working? Absolutely should tasks be shared etc. When one is working and the other not, it seems a bit cruel to ask too much of the working spouse, I reckon (irrespective of their gender!). ;)

That's a tad harsh, isn't it, Miss Issippi? Everyone has different ways of doing things, and more importantly, the strange but true fact for many trailing spouses is that they do the lion's share taking care of the home/family while their partner is 'down the mines'. My chap can do the lot but it doesn't mean he should have to, when he's working 12-14 hour days and commuting all over the place. He brings in the dosh, and -- when I'm not working -- I look after the home front. That's the Dubai deal we have and I'm fine with it. I don't feel diminished at all or put upon or anything like that ... it's just how things worked out. When I go away (when we're not away together) I'm also cool about slapping lasagne, soups, casseroles etc into the freezer so he doesn't have to faff around when he gets home. He uses just the main bed/bathroom/kitchen/TV room and the rest of the house is unused for the duration. We send out our laundry to be serviced weekly anyway, so no change there, but I don't get a maid in to run around after him. My sympathy runs dry for working [i'>couples[/i'> (where the husband does diddly) however, but I'm reluctant to be judgy when one person is hard at it 'at work' and his/her spouse does the majority of the domestic stuff. And if that's the way some couples roll -- like us! -- I don't blame people who ask for a bit of advice about what to do when they're on furlough. ;)

But dont you see clothes in magazines etc and you think "ooh i love that shirt etc, it would look fab with x, y or z" I dont mean rushing out and buying the same dress and trying to look like teh DoC but sometimes you do buy things you see before as you would wear it differently... and you love it for it (not because x wore it) if that makes sense... A bit ... but I've had the same 'style' since dot, so I see anything, it's more an update to the wardrobe classics than an intro to a new look. And I never EVER buy anything that's had red carpet or even magazine exposure. Heinous. I'd rather get stuff made which I know suits me and my figure and run with that, as I have done for 20 or so years now. But I'm an old. Maybe it comes with the territory. ;)

What is wrong with people though? Her dress sold out in 8 minutes? Do people wait and see what she is wearing and then rush to their computers to buy it?? This. It gives me the willies; the fact that people see this ostensibly ordinary, yet admittedly lovely-looking woman, and then race out to buy her dress. I'm cool about people aspiring to her style, but the same DRESS? Sirriously?! Bizarre. When I was in the market for my end-of-year formal (aka prom) dress, I had it made so I'd know that NO-ONE else at the event would be wearing the same thing. Not that I wanted to draw attention to myself; I just didn't want to be a twin/triplet/etc. I wanted to be myself. I still ... balk at the wannabes who want to wear The Same Dress as someone who's been photographed as heavily as the Duchess. Like no-one is going to notice you've copied her outfit! Yowsers.

First year here: I was up to my neck in EW. Not having children, it was difficult to get info about the lay of the land so EW was my touchstone for that. Any questions? Answered. And yes, there were loads of inane threads, b!tchy chatter, backstabby behaviour and naturally: bullying tactics. The old hands -- safe in their positions as doyennes of the Board -- ruled, newbies were helped absolutely, but stupidity and stupid questions were treated with disdain. It was this sort of thing that made me feel this wasn't the place for me. I'd started, just, to make real-life friends and that was infinitely preferable to the cat house antics that raised their collective ugly heads, especially around TNT time. Fast-forward to now and I pop in and out, just barely, to ask questions. Even after seven years here, they do come up! If I'm asking a question, I feel it's only fair that I scroll through other posts to give something back to the community and help if I can. To me, it seems a far less nasty place than it did in 2008, but perhaps I'm wrong about that. Certainly, I've had a couple of name changes -- all voluntary, not due to banning ... once I just asked to be WIPED from the Board, and the second time? I forgot my password after not being on for about a year, so I just made a new one. I don't give a flying whatever for stars or kudos or status or thumbs or anything like that. I appreciate that there are newbies and still others who really just have a lot of time on their hands to hang out and chat and help ... but come ON! Is this an American high school movie? Are (some of) you so driven to get clicks and likes and all that fluff?! Really? I mean ... REALLY? Is it important? Of course it isn't. Good golly. These places are organic and chat just happens. Get over it. So long as it doesn't downgrade into nastiness, let it slide. Treat EW as an info board if you want. If you want to hang out and be some sort of online in-crowd, so what ... some people really need that validation in their lives, apparently, so good luck to them. Me? I hope that EW will maintain its main purpose of helping people in the UAE with their legal, personal, shopping, driving, buying, whatever issues and the rest is just scenery. Sorry for the wordy post. And have fun, and enjoy yourselves and use EW for whatever you require it to be. Just don't get hung up on the thumbs/stars business. We're supposed to be adults, not bl00dy teenagers.

Oh golly: if it were me? I'd get a bucket-price flight to London and buy something there. You don't have to go the 'diamond' route; every bridal salon worth its salt from couture to mass-market, has tiaras on standby for show and sale, in crystal or cubic zirconias (and pearls!). I do hope someone can assist you with a local jeweller though! Of course ... some of the local (international) stores might be able to help? Debhenhams sells tiaras in UK, so perhaps they could ship something in if you look online for a selection? Wish I could be of more help. I have a tiara in a box in a bank that I refused to wear for my nuptials -- breaking my mother's heart -- but then ... I went the modern bride route and I was a little older than the tiara warranted. I sort of regret it now, so wish you well in your hunt for something appropriate. :)

Welcome. It's not easy, but you'll get there. If you don't work, perhaps you might consider going along to one of the EW coffee mornings? They are held regularly all over Dubai and everyone is very welcoming. Not sure whether you have children? I don't and I KNOW that it's not easy to meet people without the whole 'school gate' thing, but if you DO have children in school, do be sure to take a big leap and introduce yourself to other mums. Teachers can be helpful in this regard as well, acting as a conduit between you and the other mums in your child's/children's classes. Good luck, and welcome again, to Dubai! :)

Why is it that we are OK with haggling for dirhams in Satwa, Deira and Karama but we would NEVER dream of haggling in the malls or with big retailers? The markup made by shopkeepers in the first 3 locations mentioned make remarkably smaller margins than big name retailers. :( Speak for yourself. I haggle everywhere -- from MoE to Dubai Mall to Satwa and beyond. ;)

Really sick of buying tampered products, its only a few dirhams product I threw in the bin, but now have to go out again for more toothpaste! ( I hear you. I learned the hard way about tampered products when I bought a pack of tampons only to discover that a quarter were missing! What the ...?! That's why I always take a pack from the back of the shelves and squeeze the box to make sure it's full. What is also worrisome is that I can't imagine some poor woman (or staff member) being that desperate that she has to steal from the box rather than just purchase the goods to sort herself out. What gets me is that back home, these boxes -- being 'sanitary products' -- would have a proper wide sticky seal on them so they couldn't be opened/touched, but out here, that doesn't seem to be the case. Annoying and ... unsettling as well. :( <em>edited by LadyBee on 06/04/2014</em>

You *are* kind. If I was in the same situation, I would contact a small animal vet specialist and ask for their advice. I know my vet -- Modern Vet Clinic -- has small animal specialists, and they would be able to assist you with accessing the most appropriate way to trap and release your 'interlopers'. ;) There are other small animal vets about, but I'd probably go with the vet practice I trust and have trusted for a number of years now. Good luck. I hope you can relocate your tiny colony to a more appropriate home. :) Modern Vet ph number: 04 395 3131.

Not sure if this is *quite* what you're looking for, but there's an aviary at Le Meridien Al Aqah which has loads of budgies and other similar birds therein. If you can't find someone to help you locally, perhaps call the hotel and ask if you can donate your pet to their bird family? As a last-resort thing, obviously. It's fewer than two hours away. Nice drive too.

To add: I've been using this tailor for years. They do lots of different work and most recently, a fancy dress costume for me in silk chiffon/organza with beading. If you take in pictures, as far as I can work out: they can copy ANYTHING! Haggle the price for your outfit and once the fee is set, that is it. You go back for fittings and it doesn't cost extra on top. They will finish and fit the outfit until it is perfect. You do have to buy your own material, but they will direct you as to the best shop (I think Regal probably has the best materials for an ice-skating costume) and give you the measurements/yardage required. Very easy. Anyway, it's worth trying them: I repeat, I highly recommend this little shop. :)

I highly recommend this tailor for all sorts of outfits. I don't know that they do figure skating costumes, however: I do know that they do costumes for local ballet schools including character skirts etc, so it might be worth asking. From what I've seen hanging on the racks -- and on photographs on their wall -- I am sure they can make something for you in lycra etc to suit your daughter. Not difficult to find -- they're in one of the tailor laneways in Satwa (if you see the big petrol station, they are across the other side of the road, just up a bit towards the mosque) -- so it might be worth a try! Good luck. http://www.clifftailors.com/

LadyBee - if felt for you last night :( Ohhhh we were PANTS last night, Izzy. All I can say is: we nabbed the Ashes, beat the Saffers, and it was the end of a very long busy summer. Not having Mitch DID hurt [I know he's not the king of spin and all, but even his presence would have given a boost, I reckon!'> ... but truly: the boys need a break. A holiday, if you will. I'm taking it on the chin; we didn't deserve to go through. England, on the other hand -- while in the same boat -- were completely ROBBED in some of those dodgy decisions ... I do hope questions are raised there. Because you guys could have really moved forward if dead-set catches weren't overturned by TV umpires!!!

Having regularly watched teams of young boys playing football and witnessed the responses of their parents, I can say that cultural differences is not the reason, its the individual personalities of the parents. Some people unfortunately have naturally 'bullish behaviour'. They just think that they and theirs have the right to own/get/win/take/ cheat for whatever is up for grabs. You can pick them out a mile away. Sadly their kids think this is normal, and it gets perpetuated!! Apropos of the football mentality ... a little story. I have friends with sons playing a multitude of sports in UK (from rugby to cricket to football to athletics) and we were chatting about a year ago about how behaviour -- from both parents and children -- changes depending on the sport. The rugby v football example is probably the best one, though cricket and rugby do share a similar mindset ... Anyway, what absolutely astonished the parents with whom I am friends, was that these children could be playing football one week, rugby the next, and their behaviour and attitude on the pitch was completely different depending on the code. In football? Children were yelling, screaming, swearing, taking dives, questioning the ref' and in fact, doing everything to mimic their heroes in the premiership leagues. Their parents were doing similar; it was almost as if what they saw on the television made it 'okay' to do in an under-11s social game. They yelled, they swore, they were aggressive ... they were, literally, mimicking the behaviour of their alleged football idols. In the next week -- when rugby was the 'sport of choice' -- these VERY SAME CHILDREN behaved like different beings altogether. Any reprimand from the ref was accepted with a 'Yes, sir' and bad behaviour/swearing/dirty play resulted in being sent off to the bin to 'cool off' or a sending-off [red card'> altogether. But that just didn't happen, because on a rugby pitch, respect for the ref -- and as a consequence, respect for the game itself -- was king. Parents on the sidelines were spirited but accepted whatever decision was made. There was no aggression, no swearing, no interfering; both players and parents accepted what was happening and a loss was a loss and considered to be a learning experience. I think making the behaviour of parents on the sidelines a topic of discussion is an interesting one, but to my mind, it's less about the cultural leanings of a particular race or people, but is more down to the dynamics of the sport itself. Don't (necessarily) attack parents OR children when they behave 'out of order'; look to the sport and the way it's played in the big leagues and the way THEIR players behave in big games, and THEN realise -- in my humble opinion -- how the drip-down effect taints so many keen young sportspeople. If you don't teach your children to be polite and play fair and accept losses on the chin and all that other stuff, then there are bound to be issues. That goes for parents AND children. And people would do well to look to the codes of sport which observe those sorts of niceties rather than those which celebrate winning -- and cheating and diving and behaving like numpties -- at all costs.

Yuck. You really should be washing any new item of clothing, not just undergarments, before wearing it. If you knew where clothing items have been before it even reaches the store you'd be grossed out! Even the fact that other people's filthy hands have been pawing them is enough to put me off, let alone the potential danger of people trying things on sans knickers. Bleaugh. I know it's no guarantee, but this is why I order scanties online. And I still wash them when they arrive via Aramex. Because ... you know ... customs guys.
