A very rare event, finding something remotely positive about Dubai in the Daily Mail is almost as unusual as finding something positive about Man City and/or negative about their cross city rivals.

Did they use a 6 year old ghost writer?

Sadly it reads like a holiday brochure - he's either written it to recompense a free stay there or to try to blag further freebies. Agree though, it's nice to read something positive for a change. The best bit I thought was the picture of Tom Cruise at the top of the Burj Khalifa - turned my stomach a little! I assume he must have something tied to his back that you can't see?

Woah woah woah. £959 pp for three nights?

It's not an article, it's a promo piece for Virgin holidays and all the various places mentioned with quotes lifted directly from their own ridiculously puffed-up promotional material.

I'm not a big rugby supporter (painfully scarred as a tight-head prop in catholic school) so I don't know anything about the purported author but he comes across as a major twat with this line:

No, probably not. He's completely fearless. Does all his own stunts.

Shame he didn't fall. ****wit.

You'd think. What's with the every sentance is a paragraph thing? So badly written that I couldn't read it all, but he sounds awfully shallow and not very bright.

It's the time of year for 'What I did in the summer holidays'

He's got a good selection of photos though. I bet his mummy helped him.

To be fair he does chase eggs for a living.

And probably had a few knocks to the head...

This article was written in June!I thought it looked familiar

If it had been written by someone with a level of expectation then I'd understand the slating.

He's a sportsman. Notoriously they aren't bright. Leave him be, he's quite good and I'm sure this forum would be quick to verbally suck him off if he scored the winning try in a World Cup final.

Yeah, but you'd expect a reputable newspaper to at least edit it. Oh, hang on...

scrubbedexpat141

True, I'd expect any newspaper to edit it but I had no expectations of quality when I saw who it was.
