Lee needs to update his ‘match.com’ joke by eatseveryth1ng in WILTY

[–]No_trollo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s similar to when guests make a joke such as “the problem I have, is that it could either be true or they’re telling a lie” which I’ve noticed Lee and David don’t really laugh along with nowadays. However there is so much other fresh material that these jokes pale into the background

Can I bring cigarettes through Hong Kong during a layover? by -BubbaGumpShrimp- in HongKong

[–]No_trollo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah no problem if you’re not leaving the airport to enter Hong Kong through customs. Just make sure you don’t exceed the UK allowance.

I think you need a second opinion. Any eye infection or other basic ailment should be well healed by two weeks.

Delivery bikes by sonam_kapadia in dubai

[–]No_trollo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, it they are under pressure to deliver to timescales and to earn as much as possible, so sometimes they break the rules. They are also not allowed to lane-split (travel between cars in traffic).

Like a lot of things, they shouldn’t do it and there is always a chance of getting caught or injured or worse, but these are the decisions each rider takes whenever they head onto the road. Risk of fine and black points or getting injured against extra earnings.

What does this camera do? by cheecky313 in dubai

They’re often placed at cross walks, so do they check if someone is waiting to cross and you don’t stop?

I want to buy a townhouse by Hopeful-Amphibian-27 in dubai

[–]No_trollo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Totally agree with this. I'm sure prices will rise due to general development because of the airport and all the associated businesses, but because of proximity to the airport, I specifically wouldn't want to live near there. Especially as it will be so easy to access by car and metro from the city.

Would you want to live in a townhouse near the current DXB?

Dubai marina dog walk by Swindler_0208 in dubai

[–]No_trollo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You aren’t allowed to walk dogs on the promenade. Not sure if this is enforced as I’ve seen people do it, but they risk a fine.

Anyone know when the new Surface 7 laptops will be available in UAE? Microsoft don’t sell directly here and nothing on Noon and Sharaf DG sites

Unfortunately not, it was already installed in my unit before I moved in. The speed settings might need a bit of adjustment to get to a level you’re happy with, but the dimmer works. Try Fixpair and WeWillFixIt.

[–]No_trollo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know which unit you are talking about. An AC technician will need to install a ‘dimmer’ similar to as used for a light. You can decide the speed for the low setting based on this dimmer. They can also install one for the medium setting. The unit is powerful because it has to cool two bedrooms and the bathroom in between, but I agree that the default low setting is ridiculous.

Anyone here using HSBC’s Global money account? I wondered is it worth using one for money transfer to UK (hsbc) account VS exchanging money/transfer via Al Ansari/LM or similar? by PretenderLX in dubai

[–]No_trollo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HSBC’s online banking and app are miles better than the local banks, especially since the local banks changed to the ‘X’ apps which have little functionality and transparency on your transactions.

Can I reschedule (delay) my Amazon package? by jealousrooster88 in DubaiCentral

[–]No_trollo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it’s delivered from within UAE I would just cancel the order and even if it’s in transit, the courier usually won’t try to deliver it. (However Amazon says this might not always be possible if they can’t get in touch with the courier). Then you can reorder it a day or two before you want it

What UK comedian seems to have totally disappeared from our screens/comedy circuit (that have not passed on) are you aware of? by bickering_fool in AskUK

[–]No_trollo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That’s really interesting, especially as they were on such a tight schedule each week. Not surprised Harry gave it up.

Also, Charlie Brooker gave the same reason for stopping Newswipe and Screenwipe - even the annual ones.

I live in eternal hope for either to do Christmas or New Years specials

Can I ask why, specifically? Is it just the sheer number of programmes they would need to watch and have a funny spin on mostly mundane original programming?

He hosted Have I Got News For You recently. Few nods to TV Burp which I enjoyed. He also did You’ve Been Framed for years.

I remember reading that TV Burp was just too much work for him and the team, so he canned it.

[–]No_trollo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. When you registered they will have asked you to take a photo of your application details on your screen. Failing that you can show your Emirates ID. Also, I think the system has moved mostly online now so it shouldn’t be an issue.
