When Harry Met Sally

The theory as to whether a man and woman can have an intimate relationship yet remain 'just good friends' is one that has yet to be proven. 'When Harry Met Sally' is a movie that touches on that very subject, and has now developed into a stage version, which will be showing in Dubai starting November the 16th.  

It's not every day that you get the chance to see live stage performances based on movies, and considering the fact that this particular movie is one that is constantly referred to as an example of real life instances, you should definitely check it out!

Stick To Me

You can't wear that shirt you've only worn once because the last time you wore it, you left deodorant marks on it and it turned yellow. You also can't wear those pants you love because they give you camel toe (what were you thinking when you bought them?). You know VPL is just not cool. You most certainly can't release gas in public, and every time you go out at night, you wish you had pockets so you didn't have to carry a bag while you danced the night away. 

Thanks to Solutions That Stick, you can now solve difficulties you never thought could be resolved.  They've thought of everything from solutions that allow you to quickly hem your pants, prevent your shirt from gaping between buttons to keeping the fabric of your pants from bunching between your heel and shoe when you wear long pants and open-back heels (heel wedgie), preventing ring stains around the collar, and preventing smelly flatulence with Gas pads called  Subtle Butt™. Get yourself some of these stickies now and solve any toothpaste drool, whale tails, lint and pet hair, slipping strap issues you may face.

Smithing into a Hotel?

You always hear your friends rant and rave about the coolest places they stay at when they travel, and are secretly dying to know how they discover such places. No, you're not going to prove to them exactly how out of touch you are, and yes, you would rather pretend to have heard of those places (yeah right) just so they think you're in the loop. 

Clever, but not clever enough until you meet your newfound friends: Mr & Mrs Smith.  This website tours you around the most stylish hand-picked boutique and luxury hotels in destinations around the world after exhaustive research and anonymous hotel reviews, and guarantees that the room rates you get are the best available. Whether you're looking for a quirky city boutique hotel, a stylish country guesthouse or a luxury spa hotel, you'll get selections to suit all budgets and moods. You'll even know the best room or suites to ask for, and what's going on around each hotel, so you can make the most of your time (see their 'Worth getting out of bed for' recommendations under 'Activities'). 

This is no 'Mr & Mrs. Smith' movie - this is the real deal.

Ready, Set, Stage!

Your children are spoilt for choice these days when it comes to after-school and weekend activities - karate, football, ballet, piano lessons, horse-riding, skiing, ice-skating, and swimming to name but a few. That's all nice and dandy, but have they been on stage yet?

Youngsters aged 6 to 16 attend for 3 hours, and 4 to 6 year olds have their own 'mini' version lasting 90 minutes.


Register now, and watch your child perform, stage by stage.
