yeah the radio went for the Emir and have tried to get news on the hour but all they talking about is the Emir nothing local so I assume everyone in the station has gone home and it is a tape playing. No news of a day off in mourning and I am now on my way home from work!

Don't think they are going to announce it on the same day as the Emir of Kuwait.
May even wait till the three days are over.

Re: ..... Sheikh of Umm Al Quwain is Dead
From what I hear, they initially announced a two-day holiday for schools only, but even that was later withdrawn.
Why is there no holiday for the private sector??!!
Personally, I am saddened by the emir's death. I hope the new emir of UAQ doesn't change the policies of the emirate vis-a-vis liquor.

just watching live coverage of the funeral of the Emir of Kuwait. Rather unusual that it is being done after dark. Very odd, infact!
The poor Sheikh of UAQ and/or RAK. I wish they would just tell us.
What do u know?

Neither of them are in what you would call 'rude health'
One of them (can't remember whether it is UAQ or RAK) didn't attend Eid prayers. They were led by the Crown Prince I think.
If he is dead, it's quite possible they will wait before announcing it. I mean - you guys must remember 'Weekend at Zayed's'
