Moving back to Dubai after 22 years has been an experience! Back then we didn't have the internet or blogs. Now we do I can jot down my thoughts on daily life, things we come up against, things we enjoy, the multi-national society, the laws, the weather...plus other things in general which catch my attention.
About Me
- Seabee
- We lived in Dubai from 1977 to 1984, visited on a couple of holidays, then moved back again in 2005. We came because we wanted to watch the incredible development as it happened and we moved back to Oz in 2011. I now blog on Life in Oz and the link is on my last post here. I welcome comments & debate on the blog, but insults are unnecessary and inappropriate. I will delete any which are libel, racist, obscene, advertising or which are simply to make a point but are completely off-subject. If you want to do that, create your own blog. Oh, and I've decided to add a new category to the delete list because there are too many of them left on blogs - stupid comments. If you want to use my photos or quote from my posts you may do so - but only if you credit the source and give a link back to my original post.

It's blocked for you?
It's working ok for me. Just damn slow, as ever.
google running some sort of anti-spam software thats not keeping up with incoming traffic
I all too often get the 'you look like a hacker/virus spreader/spammer so we won't let you in' message, or the 'search not possible' message.
It's all to do with Etisalat's proxy I read.
I'M GETTING IT AGAIN RIGHT NOW
Not Found
The requested URL /sorry/?continue=http://www.google.com.au/.....rights%3D%26safe%3Dimages was not found on this server.
Seabee - have you tried using
www.google.ae ?
I'll give it a go and see what happens.
Back to this AAAAaaagggggghhhhhhhhhh!!!!!
We're sorry...
... but your query looks similar to automated requests from a computer virus or spyware application. To protect our users, we can't process your request right now.
We'll restore your access as quickly as possible, so try again soon. In the meantime, if you suspect that your computer or network has been infected, you might want to run a virus checker or spyware remover to make sure that your systems are free of viruses and other spurious software.
We apologize for the inconvenience, and hope we'll see you again on Google.
The ISP system that Etisalat has adopted is to blame for it. Every internet user is suppose to have a unique ISP number which tracks the user...since Etisalat wants total control over its users..all users have the same ISP provided by Etisalat...so google thinks that 100's of people from the same ISP are trying to search something...so it shows you the msg..that its a virus or a spyware...Etisalat is to blame for this...not Google.

True. I've never had the problem before, only since I came to Dubai and Etisalat was involved.
actually, now is probably a good time to give Windows Live search a good look at and test it out
