    Doha, Qatar - A long stopover

    As said, very much like the first and last shots there, particularly the last one although I think I would actually have preferred it without the people, or at least had they been further down the path - I think the beauty in that photo actually comes from the colours throughout the souq, rather...

    Dubai Sightseeing Advice...

    Have done dunebashing twice now, once with my other half and once with a group of friends. If you go out with a trained driver, you will be fine -it's terrifying but an incredible experience! I love it and am already planning out next trip out :)

    My Story .......

    Nothing I can really say, except that your family - especially Karen and your son - are lucky to have such a strong person. You know you have dark days, but you're still there and you're still standing, and lesser things would have beaten a lesser person down. I'm glad to hear that James is...

    How and Where did you meet your other half?

    Secondary school, he was my first boyfriend (for all of about 3 months) when I was 13...lost touch when we went to uni, 8 years later we met by chance, and have spent the last few years wondering what we were playing at since the first time! :)

    Converting Arabic pdf to word

    I have a pdf of an Arabic document which I need to copy/paste or similar to a Word/text document so I can edit it (have emailed the people who sent it requesting a Word copy, but nothing so far). Anyone had to do something similar or have any advice? Simple copy and paste or saving a copy as...

    Requalifying as a Scottish solicitor- Intra UK transfer test

    No worries... it probably did look a rather ridiculous question for here at first ;) You're right, it is just the differences in legislation - I'm just not sure to what extent it is different, or whether it's a question of mini-details - Richie's answer is quite helpful, and I know that contract...

    Requalifying as a Scottish solicitor- Intra UK transfer test

    Very true on the forum make-up - unfortunately you'll find that most forums directed at solicitors are aimed at the trainee market which isn't particularly helpful. I've got about as much chance of finding someone useful on here, whether because they've done it personally or have...

    Requalifying as a Scottish solicitor- Intra UK transfer test

    I'm currently qualified as a solicitor in England and Wales and as a California attorney, but at the stage now that I really want to move back to Scotland after working abroad for the last few years, and get a job with a lawfirm there. Currently looking at the Intra UK transfer test - has...

    US driving insurance - "counterpoint report"

    Hey I've recently moved to the US, and I'm currently trying to insure my new (US bought) car. I am still driving on my UK licence, and won't be getting a US licence - on this basis, the insurance company have asked for details of any endorsements/accidents. They will accept a list of...

    Any recommendations for a good TV Series?

    Another vote for House and White Collar here... I do like Chuck, but it often borders on the ridiculous...

    Early opening pubs in London town?

    Efour2, thought about that area but I'm being taken out by a client, so want to have some firm ideas of pubs that will definitely be open (rather than just pitching up to a general area) so they don't think I'm totally incompetent. Also, I think that we may get done about 3-4am, so will...

    Early opening pubs in London town?

    Sweet - that could well work. Thinking we might just head up to Smithfields with a few ideas and chance it. Thanks!

    Early opening pubs in London town?

    Liverpool Street, so don't mind anything in between - would prefer not to go too far off the beaten track.

    Early opening pubs in London town?

    Quick bit of advice - I'm heading out to the Globe theatre on Friday night to see a play which will finish around 3-4am on Saturday morning... now, as the overland won't start running agan until about 6am, we've said that we'll go to the pub for a couple of drinks afterwards. I know that there...

    Google Street View of 'whole' of UK Going Live Tomorrow

    Yup, very possibly - I was looking up my old office recently, and in one view you have two women walking towards the office; then if you change perspective, the same two women appear - one walking into the office whilst the other walks down the street.

    Come on then, who's pointlessly at work?

    Last minute Christmas shopping, "Merry Christmas" emails to clients and friends, and counting down until hometime. Think I've read virtually every article on the Times/Independent/Daily Mail/Guardian website, along with all the tax updates. Sigh. Driving to Scotland on the afternoon of...
