Re: UAE estate agent recommends

Totally agree. Also, when arranging viewings with an agent get very specific details about which apartments they are taking you too see and what the prices are before you go and see any. This will...

Re: UAE estate agent recommends

I’m sorry but that kind of perfectly sums up the attitude of so many agents here.



Why on earth would the customer limit themselves to only one agent who will only be able to show them a...

Re: sheikh Khalifa

It's human nature that in a vacuum of information people will try and fill it, and that will generally be with rumour and speculation. The fact the "powers that be" here insist on trying to control...

Re: Early start to Ramadan

Good luck with that. More likely it'll just be people in more expensive shoes following the same pattern. Enjoy.

I'm sacking brunch off altogether and going out for sundowners and dinner. Might go...

Re: Early start to Ramadan

Re: Family life in Sharjah

A lot of UK expats who work at the airport live in Mirdiff, but its a pretty mixed community nationality wise. It’s a slightly older part of the city, and not been developed as an ‘gated...

Re: Scotland

Yeah, there aren't any cameras between Perth and Dundee. There are a fair few between Dundee and Aberdeen, but they're bright yellow and you can see them from miles away. Dundee to the north side of...

Re: Family life in Sharjah

I presume you’re going to get a car and be driving? If so, your options are pretty open and probably more influenced by budget than anything else. You’re going the opposite way of most of...

There really isn’t much of one these days as far as I know. I work in Sharjah (but live in Dubai) and to the best of my knowledge none of my colleagues from the UK or indeed Europe/America live in...

I must admit I find 100quid+ for a round of golf somewhat galling as well.

Cheaper option and about 30mins north of Dundee is Montrose (Home - Play Montrose Golf Courses - Quality Links Courses in...

Re: Scotland

Weather wise the east coast is likely to be drier than the west, and have less midgies!

If you’re there end-July or August then a day in Edinburgh for the festival would be worthwhile....

Re: British passport renewal

I called at 8am UK and got through no problem, although that was a couple of weeks ago before the media-stoked mass hysteria broke out.

For what it’s worth, once there the 1-day fast track...

I had a couple of suits made by these a year or two back – same or similar Groupon deal. Suits are decent and still going strong, the shirts I wasn’t so impressed with. The amount of material...

Re: World Cup Predictions

I really don't want to pay Du/OSN the ridiculous prices either.

Do the BBC and ITV stream the games live on iPlayer and what ever the ITV version of iPlayer is called?

I think (and hope) Froch will take him out this time. His experience at this level will come good, and he’s very unlikely to make the same mistakes as last time. Groves didn’t really make any...

Re: Stag Night suggestions

Shooting club in Sharjah, or the karting/driving experience at the autodrome – both of which I think have vouchers in the Entertainer.

Use it as a stepping stone to get out of the UK, and then into an operator, contractor or service company in the oil & gas industry out here. If you're any good that shouldn't be too...

Re: pool closed

Are you the owner of the apartment or the tenant? If you're the tenant, the office won't give a monkey's about you. Get on your landlords case about it.
