it's in the millenium hotel. :-)

Phone 3 and tell them you're moving abroad and no longer need their services...depending on where you are in your contract will depend on your ability to negotiate.

Unlocked (jailbroken) iPhones are horrible to use.

Assuming you are on contract with 3 then phone and say you want to have your phone unlocked...legally they have to do this if you pay out your contract. If they won't unlock until you've payed it out then say you'll keep paying it monthly until contract is up and cancel then...and can they please unlock it in the meantime?

I asked very nicely and O2 did it for me and I just carried on paying for 6 months.

Don't take too many jumpers! I think I only had one the entire time I lived in Dubai and it was enough. The only place where it genuinely gets cold in the evenings is when you're camping in the deserts or mountains, in the city it merely gets coolish. Women feel it more so because they tend to wear strapless shirts when they go out, but a man in a regular shirt will be fine most of the time.

and was that tied around your shoulders preppy style Ethos?

Hows London?

Overcast and light rain this morning. Should clear up in a hour or so, hopefully.

London is London. Cold, tiresome and expensive and I'm happy to be here for now.

I disagree. It's chilly in Dec/Jan if outside in the evening. That time of year I wear a long sleeved top, a jacket and boots and it can still be cold. Most women do not wear 'strapless shirts' (whatever they are). Maybe your flat in The Greens was a micro climate?

It is not chilly. It's coolish. You haven't lived in the UK in a long time so you don't know what it is like to be cold. In the three winters I spent in Dubai I wore the jumper perhaps a dozen times total. I wore shorts pretty much every day and there was only perhaps a week each year when I might wear trousers.

You think 15c is coolish? And short wearing weather? That's chilly. I've always said you aren't fully human...

Thanks Scamp. I will give them a ring today and see what they say!

Basically, just ask nicely. I did and managed to get them to unlock it remotely. Just get a text, plug into iTunes and bish bash bosh. Done.

I would also pack a couple of jackets, it gets very chilly at nights from Dec onwards.
Also if you take any vitamin supplements bring them with you, they are very expensive here e.g. glucosamine and chondroitin tablets are 350dhs here, 60dhs in the UK.

I agree, it gets very cold here sometimes. I have worn my fur jacket at least twice every year since I have been here, evenings at the races and rooftop bar at trilogy are definitely cold enough for a jacket

With or without?

If you have braun sonic toothbrush bring some spare heads. You can't get them here for love nor money. Which is strange, as you can buy love and head here with money.

thanks for all the tips guys
