Meant to be moving to Dubai in 4 weeks

[Medesres]

We've been planning a move to Dubai for a while now. Dh's work has an office out there and it seemed like great opportunity to live abroad and experience sth different. I've got a couple of friends out there already too who love the lifestyle.

Watching the news for the past 24 hours and I'm really starting to question things. I had no idea how close to Iran it was and who knows what might happen next. Part of me is hoping it will all be resolved soon but hard to believe.

My friend who already lives there has spent the night sleeping in one room with her dh and kids scared of all the missile noises.

Good god! I hadn’t seen that gem! That’s vile @Jerys !

Wait until the OP finds out it’s above 50deg C in the summer with a UV of 12. Burn in less than 10 minutes.

Our responsibility for people who relocated to Dubai ended when they stepped on the airplane.

Citizen or otherwise - if you moved there so you could enjoy 100% of your income and avoid UK taxes, you can also enjoy your missile filled skies.

If HS2 was being built in the middle east they would have finished it by now

“The problem is Dubai and parts of the middle east have been really glamorised now so everyone wants to move there”.

They really don’t.

Yeah, who cares about people's homes and wildlife and woodland and historic sites 😂

This x 💯

But they’d have committed gays to the death penalty as well?

Which would you prefer?

HS2 or living happy gay people?

It just keeps getting worse.....

Exactly! Not important!

Don't pull at that thread! 😱

Best post in this whole thread!!

👏

@Cardomomle there's not much woodland and wildlife and very few historic sites. Comparisons are not valid

...nor people's opinions nor the right to live their lives in their way...

What? I don't understand you??

she wrote ' give it a couple of weeks'

Absolutely this.

But presumably you are not planning to move there with your DC in less than a month from now! Is this thread genuine? It beggars belief anyone could be so passive and uninterested in the reality of where she was planning to go.

Ok. You're right, just build whatever, wherever. Who cares.

But there is here, hence the delay for HS2.

And @Jerys analogy of the fact that it’s so efficient in Dubai, is irrelevant!

The people who built the historic sites destroyed woodland to build them though?

Exactly!

I don't feel that strongly, but I do think that people like Isabel Oakeshotte who demonise immigrants for not integrating- and then move to a place where they do not integrate in any way- deserve a bit of comeuppance. A tiny bit.

This thread has to be a spoof....and I don't just mean the OP.
Unbelievable 😟

She also dragged a disabled person across the city so her daughter could have weekend tuition today, she can definitely stay.

The thing is, they're not even sharp enough to know they're being hypocritical.
They just don't want to pay tax, and have servants.
