Re: Can the body cope with 50C?
It's where the Windows button would be.
Look in the bottom left of yours screen, you've got:

Re: Can the body cope with 50C?
It's easy to do on a Mac. It's just alt+0. Another example of Windows' insistence on using alt to tab to the menu bar as being a waste of keyboard shortcuts. ;)

Re: Homeward bound...
True about the Emirates part, but then you've also go Ryanair and Easyjet. Both all economy (in fact, super economy) airlines with no rich parent airlines company.

Re: Arrived in Dubai!
It'll be there for another 18 months or so. Emirates Crown end isn't so bad though. You're quite far away from the bulk of the road works, so noise shouldn't be an issue.
