      Well at least the bobs at current clientco can. It doesn't seem to be an option for the poor sods in that article.
      We know its bad but then again, you have seen who wrote the article? Another reason to not trust the media 100%.
      Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

        I noticed that but there are enough bits in that article to ignore the fact the author turned out to be an idiot.

        I can safely say its not a part of the world I'm rushing to go to mainly because I hate heat.
        merely at clientco for the entertainment

          Get a couple of more wifes whilst at Dubai, threaten to return back with one of them if your wife v1 does not appreciate you more.

                Johann Hari is a bit of an idiot, but to be honest, he is a long way from being the only journalist who has made up stories, abused social media, wikipedia, amazon reviews etc. Plenty of them are at it, he just got caught.

                      Well at least Lord Haw Haw already had an alternative moniker: Comical Ali
                      I look forward to lots of threads about how Dubai is paradise on earth and how Mr. Ali is having the time of his life.
