Thumbs Up
Isn't it a nightmare when you can't find someone capable of understanding exactly what you mean or want and doing a good job? The Dubai Survival Guide Team has lived here long enough to know that when you find a good company, school, doctor, gardener or any other business that do what they say on the box, then you hang onto them for dear life. We live in a global community and most service companies can work anywhere in the world with a little help from the magic of the World Wide Web and the ease of international travel. If it's a 'hands on' type of job you'll find the good guys here too. If you know of a company or individual to whom you give a 'thumbs up' then please send us their details via 'Rant n Rave' and we'll look into them.
Drawing and Painting with Guy, Central St Martins, London
Do you think you’re not up to drawing and painting? Learn how with Guy Noble. He’s a superb artist in his own right as well as being a very clever, entertaining, knowledgeable and encouraging lecturer. His wonderful online drawing course helps even the most feeble wanna be artist show that they are very capable. When you are thinking ‘what can I do’ – do this! Of course (excuse the pun), CSM has many other courses. Contact Guy or have a look at Central St Martin’s website.

Magno Mesquito is an exceptional artistic photographer, constantly searching for different perspectives of a changing world. His work is very varied and interesting.
