I need a tux with all the trimmings.

Marks and Sparks usually come up trumps. No need for bespoke as I'm normal shape.

Question - where's the bestest M&S in Dubai? Is it Festival City? Do they sell DJs?

why not go to the outlet mall - it'll be cheaper and they can always take it in if needed.

You are going to be sick down it, no point in 'splashing out' on a markies one!

Where's the outlet mall?

Madam Medusa

don't know whether they sell djs in m&s here, as far as which on is better, i think festival city and dubai mall ones are much of a muchness...

there is a shop in satwa called murads on diyafah street that sells and hires them, can't imagine it is expensive, so may be worth trying them...it's near haagen dazs...oh it's also near that pierre cardin knock off shop, they sell them too i think...

it's on route 66 to Al Ain.

middle of nowhere, about 15mins from the ranches desert bound. great place.

all last season's stuff at knock down prices.

On the Al Ain Rd near the Sevens Rugby Stadium about 30kms out of Dubai. A big dome thing on the right side. Only worth a visit if you have a family.

Got one stuffed in a box back home. Haven't worn it for years. But between ages 18 and 25 I did wear it very regularly.

you wear a tux at christmas? why?

commander

was that so you looked smart for your public school arse buggering sessions?

promised the kids a return to kidzania so may check the Dubai Mall one out this weekend.

Oh to be able to somehow transport myself to the M&S at Shoreham Holmbush Centre. Great selection there plus get the VAT back at the airport.

I haven't worn a tux for 10 years.

but, when I did wear one, it was actually at Easter.
