I have many different shampoos an conditioners I don't use. My hair also gets very greasy and just turns into a thick blob of hair the day after I wash. Really annoying and it happena with Pantene, Fructis, Elvive, Sunslik, all of them! Now I am trying Mane & Tail, but maybe should get salon advice. Shop bought ones are full of soap and i was warned not too use them as they gave me a flaky scalp and greasy hair I only use L'Oreal professional and Kerstace

anchovy paste - doubtful if you will find it but likely to be next to the condiments, worcester sauces etc apple sauce - by the mustards, hollandaise etc in Waitrose. If not make your own. Wholegrain pastry flour - you will need a specialist store otherwise it will be by the flours. Contact www.chezcharles.ae maybe he can order some in for you. What is pastry flour? Do you mean cake flour? vanilla extract - doesn't exist as contains alcohol (see lots of other threads on this) - you can make ur own using vanilla pods in v**ka, or get someone to pick some up for you when you next go home. Vanilla bean extract is available in some Spinneys or the dreadful essence. Wholegrain flour at the Organic shop perhaps

Does anyone know if there is a currency exchange place in ET, I need to get some Euros? Thanks I don't think so unfortunately. Louisedvs, they're the 10 or 11 white towers with black windows that you pass on SZR on your right as you drive from the Safa Interchange to Dubai Mall. Oh right i always wondered what they were called thank you Polly i would google Western Union Al Ansari etc as they may have locations close by

What i find behind many of such ads and preferences is not exactly racism, but some grossly incorrect generalizations based on "nationality". You have some instances where you can understand preferences; like wanting a chef for his country's cuisine, or maybe a supervisor from the same country as technicians under him. But many weird permutations that you see often does not make sense; "Filipinos/Indians only", "westerners only", "South Africans/Australia/NZ only" and so on. In this case, what can a Filipino or Indian do that other Asians can not? Every now and then i hear stuff like "people from country X are this and people from country Y are that, and "how can you believe someone from country Z" Its like you meet 3 people from Poland who are not good in math, and thats it; for the rest of your life you will keep believing and saying Poles are not good in math edited by Arch on 02/10/2012 But all companies are guilty of that here so everyone is at fault I have worked with all nationals at companies that had a preference on staff nationality and the worst of them weren't western companies.

It is sad, its also sad that the ones that get this special treatment seem so unhappy, always complaining, or so would seem. I have met very happy, grateful expats too, but they've always always been from Oz or from NZ. In my experience the, I mean, THE most racist people i've ever met at work have been white south africans, and white south africans in HR.....if you're brown, and applying, forget about it. Remember this is my experience. Followed closely by Brits, then Americans. Weird, bonkers! Woweee I have to take a deep inbreathe when I read this. Can I ask which generation of "racist white South Africans" you may be referring to? I cant tell you how often I have been openly discriminated at for being a white South African (who is incredibly open minded and unprejudiced btw) In London my best friends french family and friends came over for a wedding and group of them treated me with open hostility. Not knowing the reasons & language I asked my friend and she reported that "they dislike racists deeply and presume you are one since you are white SA" I asked her if they had noticed my very dark Caribbean boyfriend? At other times, I have been spat at and heckled. The above is awful i was called awful things and spat at as my ex Hubbie was mixed race. If you care to take a holiday to SA (and many EW ladies have been to CT) you will notice and extraordinary number of mixed couples and yes, there is still an imbalance of economics, but there is a massive amount of integration and friendliness. The most racist folk I have met were in UK & Ireland in more recent years, if I must compare.

Hello, I was wondering if anybody could help me with a problem we are having with our tennant. Their lease expired on the 30th Sept and despite numerous calls over the last 3 months we still dont know what they want to do (renew or leave), the reason we dont know is because they never answer our calls or emails. Its pretty frustrating as I can see their furniture and curtains still there so I guess they are home, but not wanting to talk to us. Does anyone know what are our options? We would like our rent paid, and lease signed, or them to vacate. Any ideas? Thanks so much Have you been around to the house? Is it a villa or an apartment can yu lay in wait for them? I would call RERA also

Ladies........ This is a rant and I just needed to get it off my chest....... Well since I have been on a quest to find a job for a year now, and after some constructive feedback and shared experiences with some of the ladies on the EW forum, I set out with a different approach, re-written CV and a lot more determination to find employment. Well, in most instances I meet and exceed all the criteria required for most jobs I've applied for of late: Native English speaker Excellent communication skills Excellent computer skills Excellent customer service skills Excellent organisational skills I have worked for very very reputed companies Great references However, in spite of being over-qualified for most jobs, I have been told (QUITE BLATANTLY) that I am NOT ELIGIBLE as I am NOT BRITISH or WESTERN or EUROPEAN! PS: I wonder what will happen, if one writes to these 'WESTERN' Governments that their companies are clearly practicing discriminatory policies which are against the laws in these 'WESTERN' lands, countries which actually encourage equal opportunities! They wouldn't care and can do it here unfortunately

Sometimes it happens that i buy tuna cans and chips on offer(12-24 packs) and then realise that my DH and DS does not seem to like the particular flavour.I do not want to bin them and ther ARE quality branded products that do have a long shelf life.Is there any place that I can donate them to? Earlier when living in Hatta, the extra food used to go to cattle farm and vegetable plantations. MB I am sure there is a lady who collects donated stuff for the laborers I am sorry i dont know her name or contact number however i am sure someone will post the details. What a generous thing to do as most people would bin them :-)

We are moving into a new villa and the wall to wall carpet in one room is badly stained and does not come clean. I peeked underneath it and it has been glued to the tiles, which means if I remove it will I ever get the glue off the tiles? Has anyone had this problem before. Maybe the glue is easy to remove but maybe it isn't and I am stuck with a room full of glue covered tiles.....eeeeek! I have never heard of wall to wall carpeting being glued down before. Whenever i have moved into a new place it has clearly stated on the contract do not glue carpet to the floor. It must be a common thing here?

I think she is just trying to wind us up! How are these animals jumping into your garden when you also have a dog that is apparently sitting in the garden outside with his/her water.. dogs don't usually allow any animal into their space, specially cats or other dogs for that matter! And how low is this wall anyway...Come on! My dog is afraid of cats so she begs to be let in whenever one comes into the yard. Our wall is fairly low, we live in a compound where we live side by side with the neighbors, plus we have trees on either side. I'm not asking what I should say to the neighbors. I've never actually seen them and I wouldn't feel comfortable approaching them if it's legal, but I am wondering if there shouldn't be a limit? Many urban areas limit the total number of pets allowed in one house and particularly in these compounds, there perhaps ought to be some rules. If there is a limit though what will you do? report them without speaking with them first Why wouldnt you be comfortable with speaking to them? you are talking about it on here so why not approach them in a friendly way and explain your frustration if they are encroaching on your house/privacy etc

[b'>So the truth is if you've come from somewhere better than Dubai... it never gets easier [/b'>... What on earth does this mean? I know we all have our up days and down days about Dubai but ultimately everyone here has chosen to live here and we can all leave at any time. I don't think you can classify somewhere as "better" or "worse" just different. Dubai just doesn't suit some people. Personally, as much as Dubai frustrates the cr&p out of me at times, I think people get all rose-tinted about how great it is to live in the "West". I just calculated on www.listentotaxman.com how much I would have to earn to keep the same take home pay in the UK and I was shocked. Not to mention the rubbish weather, high crime levels, crippling central heating / council tax bills, the fact you get so much less space for your money to live in, the cost of petrol, the tax they levy on everything they don't want you to do, the dirt, I could go on. Maybe by "better" we should read "better' for that individual person. Everyone is entitled to decide whether they think Dubai is better than home or not. it isn't a crime to think that Dubai is better or worse than the UK, the US, Australia or anywhere else; it's just a matter of opinion. I love it here but there are crippling DEWA bills, petrol has gone up considerably since i first moved here, Salik, parking fees, expensive internet connections, school fees we may not pay income tax on our salaries but food, clothing, toiletries, eating out, alcohol etc is taxed in some way as it is far more expensive than my home My apartment is way smaller than my house back home yet my rent is more expensive than my mortgage, flight tickets home, I agree to crime rates in certain areas but i am more likely to die on the loony roads here than be a victim of crime in my home town. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and not everyone can settle here.
