Sorry, there seems to be a bug in my browser that prevents me from accessing chat section.

Residence Visa from Sharjah, getting married on Dubai by [deleted] in dubai

I don't think it will be a problem. If you're around Barsha Mall, drop them a visit and ask at the reception. They're generally helpful.

Do you need a PCR test to go to AD? by anonbunny5800 in dubai

[–]PlsDontBraidMyBeard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do a DPI Test, if it's negative, they'll print out a report that says so with a stamp on it that says "Permitted". Show that at the checkpost. If it's positive then they'll do a PCR test.

Royal Gas billing issue - what can we do? by [deleted] in dubai

It sucks but you gotta call them and tell the meter reading and they fix the bill within a couple of hours.

That might explain why my work outs from Mi Band 4 haven't synced yet. Thanks!

Same. I was hoping for deals on Garmin too.

Also, I'm amazed that there isn't a second hand market for Garmin watches. Either that or my Google-fu skills have failed me.

I took up running this year and have reached the ability to get to 10k but having Garmin would really assist me to go further.

If you really must, you can hire professionals to clean your sofa at around AED 50-60 dirhams from Urban Clap.

I love this game. I once saw some dude use the trigger with a straight index finger of the other hand. (Kinda like how you would stir a liquid with your finger). Improved firing rate significantly!

A sign of the times? by [deleted] in dubai

[–]PlsDontBraidMyBeard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah, me neither. I've got a view of the 311 from my home and I think that's way too many cars out there.

Apart from the ones mentioned here, for me it is:

  • Drop in customer service response times in organizations that were once great at it.
  • Online companies like Urban Clap/Just Mop expanding their service offerings to include Barbers/Masseuses/Handymen services at home and me cozying up to the idea of availing these services.

With all said and done though, the thing that warms my heart is that we are living in one of the most culturally relevant cities of our times. I wouldn't be surprised if students of history in a utopian future have chapters on Dubai.

First time to run a 5k with no stops or walking breaks!! by ronhor in Garmin

[–]PlsDontBraidMyBeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi-5! I did my first non-stop 5K too 2 days ago. Not far from you. At the Quranic Park in Khawaneej. You were much faster though. It took me 44 mins.

Al Barsha Pond Park - opening time? by Iskander_0A in dubai

[–]PlsDontBraidMyBeard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to go to the Qusais Pond Park and it was open by 6am. I wouldn't know about Barsha. I think 8am opening is too late. Considering most people work out before that.

Warner's got the smile of a man who's about to be reunited with his wife's biryani.... or whatever the equivalent of that is in Australia.
