Forget Dubai and AD!! It's time for the "Riyadh Night Out"....
Just to prove that we can have fun here too………
Sunday 13 July 2008.
Timetable:
6.30pm: Meet for pre-dinner drinks (Starbucks)
6.40pm: Leave Starbucks with drinks unfinished as it's prayer time and it has to close
7.10pm: Re-enter Starbucks for another round of drinks
7.30pm: Walk to Marhaba Restaurant where table is reserved
8.10pm: Having finished first course, leave restaurant just as main course is arriving as it's prayer time and it has to close
8.40pm: Return to restaurant to finish cold main course
9.00pm: Feast upon the 'Indian Delight' (Marhaba's speciality dessert of the day)
9.01pm: Ask for bill, feeling distinctly unwell
9.15pm: Walk back to Starbucks for final round of drinks, throwing up if necessary as appropriate
9.30pm: Wander out in search of exciting nightlife
9.35pm: Stop at faulty traffic light to enjoy exciting traffic jam
9.45pm: Go home
Who's up for it??
So far:
The Dean
Nottmbantam
Typical
Rdan0209 (tbc)
Let me know as places are strictly limited on a first-come-first-served basis, and there is bound to be huge demand.

Oooh Oooh Oooh, can I come please?
Hope there is still room to squeeze me in ( as the actress said... never mind ). If I get lost on the way,I'll just ask where the loud, brash raucous BE Night Out is happening, and I'm sure they'll point me in the right direction....
See ya'all there.

I've put all my other social engagements on hold (that's the gym, the compound restaurant... the gym) especially for this.
I haven't had Starbucks in a while. I hope it doesn't go to my head.
