A few comments about the guy featured being lazy at work and spending the bank's money on luxurious holidays and goods and generally living it up. From the comments I read it seems that some of the people who commented knew the guy. I really don't feel sorry for people who spend money they haven't got to impress others.

WTF??

When did Brasseye come back?

Grace O Malley

um i just find it strange, that he hasn't got one friend who can give him a bed

NorthernLad

Yep, I would expect most people here know at least one person who can give them a floor to sleep on.
Not sure where he keeps his clothes either.
Maybe a publicity stunt?

Ronnie Biggs

Definitely. He'd be arrested for sleeping there for starters - this seems to me to be a blag to get the bank to do what he's asking. Fair play to him for pushing the system, no mean feat here....

Bonita Springs

That park is nice, where is that exactly?

NorthernLad

If the report is right, he's a complete fool...no room for principles in this place.

It's the creek in Bur Dubai opposite the British Consulate. I've fallen alseep on a bench there once and was woken and lectured by a police officer in Arabic. I can't imagine what it's like to stay there at this time of year - but I also know in this place many "friends" are anything but that when you are at a low point (especially financially) few people will let you stay with them indefinately.

A good German friend of mine has just gone home after being screwed over by his company. Luckily no debts but he wasn't paid, they took forever sorting his visa but told him no need to exit so he was overstayed by several months and couldn't pay the fine. When he complained he was almost arrested. Absolutely charming place isn't it?

It is kind of right. There is more to it, but it wouldn't be right of me to say any more, apart from he broke the terms of his loan agreements with the bank. His pride will get him nowhere.

And no he wasn't a client (I only deal with nice people), but I have been working with a newspaper on a story.

What was he eating?

So he overstayed and he wasn't arrested? Sounds like a fantastic place to me.
