If you're going to Al Barsha (at interchange 4) it's Tasjeel you'll need not the drivers licence place - they are two separate buildings.

If you are really cheap then go into the supermarkets near closing and they will have the cooked food reduced from that day. Otherwise make a list of what you need and take cash as a budget. Personally i just throw what i want in a trolley, and be done with it. Haven't got to the budgeting part of your [b'>training[/b'> yet, then? :)

I always look for the milk with the current date, too. Also, check the seal. Several times I've brought milk home to find the seal broken. We get through a 2L bottle a day but I buy 4 or 5 and freeze them. Milk turns quite yellow in its frozen state but once thawed it looks, smells and tastes just like fresh milk.

There are other messenger programs on the aed 49 package such as Yahoo Messenger and Google Talk. I assume that if I have them installed on my iPhone we should be able to message each other for free. Can anyone confirm either way please?

I seem to remember handing over my driving licence, I think until we had all finished riding.

Although you can't download Whatsapp on the social packages, can you do it (and access the internet) via wifi?

Oh, I'd laugh at anyone else doing it, is just looks so 'proper' when they do it. One thing I don't understand.... a few episodes ago, Maggie was seemingly about to drop the captain in it to one of the Pan Am bosses for his indiscretion with the boss's mistress in exchange for her job. At the very end of that episode she was seen in what looked like a language lab then no more was ever shown about it. What happened?

Collette's my favourite too. I can't decide whether or not I fancy the captain LOL! I just love seeing all the crew walking through the airport in their uniforms with their bags in the crook of their arm, gloved hands held up.

You\d need to make sure that the person you are thinking of buying for really has an interest in it or like desertdoc, it may end up not getting used.

This will give you office locations: http://www.aramex.com/offices/default.aspx?country=AE Click on the Dubai's in red to expand for the address. I've used the one in Media City in the past.

Aramex are a courier so they deliver to your physical address (I assume only Emirates Post have keys to deposit items in PO boxes?) I have requested that anything I order through S&S be held at my local Aramex office so I can pick it up at a time convenient to me rather than waiting in for a delivery. You can also request that a specific delivery that's being held at an Aramex office be delivered to you if you know you will be at home/office etc.

Does it have a heart rate monitor with it either as a clip that goes on your earlobe, or metal pads you can hold? That will work out how many calories you burn. If it has programs select a fat burning one that will build up then drop down repeatedly giving you a more efficient workout.

The manufacturers of Mooncup advise emptying it every 4-8 hours, or after a night's sleep as opposed to DivaCup's recommendation of up to 12 hours at a time.

Not quite sure I'm in agreement with the Byzantines, but I see where the Marines are coming from. Look at how Cheeky Monkey and I approached from completely different angles without locking horns - interesting indeed :) And now Muurtje has come in with a completely different no.1. Although I feel the Baron had no right dictating to his wife, the madman was wrong killing anyone, regardless of what they were doing as they were no threat to him.

I'm no help as I just leave them be (but tut at the cr@p they leave on the wall) and laugh at my visitors who are scared of them. I don't know how you could move them without trying to herd them towards an open door but sod's law says that he or she will run in the opposite direction to the one you want them to.

These are the geckos that are common here [url=http://www.house-gecko.com/'>link[/url'> Be aware that they can be a pale (same colour as the paint on your wall) colour and maybe seem to have no markings at all - they can change their colour and markings to suit their surroundings.

If it's a gecko it will do its utmost to stay out of your way as it will be terrified of you. They also eat mosquitoes...

It's probably just a gecko and is completely harmless. Although it is [i'>slightly[/i'> annoying when they cr@p on the walls high out of reach.

It wasn't as a result of her having an affair though - she could have gone to visit her mother in a neighbouring town - it was because she defied her husband. It's the "given orders by her husband" bit that gets my dander up. :) Oh yeah, I forgot about the other places, but if I blame one person it doesn't really matter to me what role they others may or may not have played. <em>edited by Sanddy_Dogg on 18/11/2011</em>
