Does anyone know of anyone in Emirates computers? The website is down and the numbers are a dead tone.

Elms is it for a child? I know a really good pianist that might be interested but could only teach up to grade 5

I posted the same thing a few weeks ago. I ended up with the Dr. at Motor City, he seemed knowledgeable enough, but I didn't like him much he was useless around my son and when he threw up on me (DS not DR.) he just carried on making notes and didn't even call for someone to help me :(

Pottery Barn Kids have them, is it for decoration or to use as templates?

I think that London will be chaos, it is a fantastic city, but could you postpone until afterwards? There will be pick pockets galore and it will be really busy. The kids are at the perfect age for a musical (so theatrically deprived *sniff) Wicked is fantastic, and there are plenty more. Buying the ticket book that gives you entry to all the museums and bus tours is a good idea and will help you with inspiration. Don't miss the London Dungeon and if you get the chance to travel out, Devon, Wales and the lake district are well worth seeing - plus no Olympic crowds.

Who would want him now? He looks ten tears older than his age, it's almost as though she took the golden boy of our time and drained the soul from him.

Are you in the Ranches? If you email Emaar, they will check the traps on the exterior of your house and put extra ones down. We have rats on our walls, but they have only been spotted in the garden twice and the dogs were the first to see them. I think I might get the sticky traps and put them up on the walls. Also if you have lights near the walls (torches) at night they seem to stay away.

My friend has it, it gets better then worse... My son and my DH and I all had horrendous gastric bug over the weekend, only 24 hours, but a truly awful 24 hours. My DS was vomiting all through the night interspersed with little squeaks of "no like it" my heart almost broke. Anyway, then I got it the DH :(

I'm from Yorkshire and when I was little I spoke with an accent that you would expect from an "old" BBC presenter. I was picked on for being "posh" - kids from Morley can be very cruel and now I have a Yorkshire accent, not as broad as it was (woh), I am trying to teach my son to speak Yorkshire as my husband has also picked up a nice Northern accent despite being from abroad :)

Is he on Monster Gulf and Gulf Talent, most recruiters use those now as not many companies can afford agencies. He could attend BNI meetings and BBG meetings to network.

I have, but they are not big, just have three on each. One is silver, one is not, but it could still look ok, if it's in candlelight. You can borrow, if you like?

Have you checked the boards at Le Marche (Arabian Ranches)? They have loads of drivers and if they have residency you could rent the car in their name?

Bice Mare is fabulous, but it is expensive. If you are there, there has to be a good coffee and cake shop in Dubai mall or Souk al bahar....?

Sent over rock. Izzy, I think there is still a shortage and I know plenty of expat HR managers. It is certainly one of the riskier positions for Emiratisation, but it also depends on the size of the company.

Xiana - a tan makes cellulite pretty much vanish, maybe lie in the sun so when you get to frisco you will blend in?

No fizzy drinks, no coffee or tea. Lots of water - lots! Also using coffee as a body scrub is apparently quite good as it stimulates the cells that cause the fat build up. Body brushing (stiff brush dry - a bit stingy) can also help circulation which will ultimately help. Xiana - if he proposed, he loves you and probably doesn't even see it. Do not let this get you down, the most attractive thing about a woman is confidence, if you hold your head high enough the cellulite will be further away ;) Good luck and congratulations, he is a lucky man that has someone striving so hard to be perfect for him! :)
