Question for PC hardcore gamers by mudassarkazi
Hello Hardcore Gamers, I have a question, I am looking for a Core i3 laptop (with a graphics card) that can be capable of running all(most of) modern 3d games. Could anyone please suggest me any model. I know core i5s and i7s are better then i3s ...
I spent close to SAR 9,500.00 on my desktop rig. It has a Intel Haswell I7-4770K chip, with 16GB DDR3 RAM and a NVidia GeForce GTX 660 Ti graphics card. Runs everything really well with no problems. The CPU wasn't extremely expensive; not more than ... Read More

Shorts for men by tlpratt
Can a foreigner wear shorts above the knees if he is working outside on construction of a golf course? I will hopefully be moving to Saudi Arabia soon to build and grow-in a new golf course and I'm curious if I can wear western style shorts at work ...
So did most people.... leg hair like bigfoot. People probably thought I was wearing some kind of furry trousers :) Read More

Heck yeah.... showing my thighs is what it's all about... :) The shorts I wore were just above the knee but definitely not hot pants material. Although my wife has done so many a time, albeit covered by an abaya haha Read More

I've worn shorts in Faisaliah mall with no problems. Even bumped into the Muttawa as they were making the rounds and they didn't care all that much. Although, what happens in one case doesn't necessarily mean everybody will be the same :) Read More
Is it worth it -- by stressedmom
I have appreciated all the advice and help everyone on here has given me, unfortunately our moving company has said opposite on the most important area...my girls toys anything animal shaped won't be shipped. Meaning stuffed animals and pretty much ...
Why won't the shipping company ship them? My shipping company (albeit from the UK) shipped all of my son's soft toys, no exception. Sounds like an odd rule... On a personal level - two years is a long time to be apart even with regular flights to ... Read More

Look on the bright side of life, at least your car is still driveable...if not, then at least nobody was hurt :) Healthcare costs can be a lot more expensive than repairing your car.... :) Read More

Should have taken down his number plate first. I know this is all after the fact now but a car can only be traced with the registration number. Without it, it is literally a needle in a very large haystack. Third Party insurance won't cover you for ... Read More
