Oi, what's the point in posting if you don't pay any attention to what we advise!

You post you want a "decent English doctor here in Dubai?" and 30 minutes later you're meeting some back street Lebo with pointy shoes and slicked back hair who is offering a bulk discount!

Use the Dubai checklist:-

Doctor - tick
Lawyer - tick
Wasta - tick

Should be sorted and be cool like three little Fonzies in no time.

(Spugsy - if the shit is really hitting the fan let us know if there is anything we can do - good luck)

it's what people do when they read stuff like this...they speculate, just for a bit of fun, human nature and all that...very common in Dubai as you know.

I'm curious too! Keep up the light hearted comments as this board is getting a bit boring - where is everyone?
