People here are ****ing idle that's why. I always got the same comments when I'd walk 100m to get my sandwiches in July.

I'm not committing to doing the same in the summer heat because I've not experienced it yet...but if it's bearable outside for 2 minutes then I'll still go and get my own stuff.

It's Dubai. Few people walk anywhere they don't really have to, which is one of the reasons so many people are hugely overweight. It's also easy to get used to people carrying everything for you.

Ignore your colleagues and do as you like. :)

Oddly, I don't really sweat - so it's easy for me. I do feel sorry for the melted petrol boys.

I'm the opposite. I sweat sat down.

I'm big-ish though, 17 stone 4lb but carry it reasonably being over 6ft...just the heat ruins me and I get paranoid that I smell.

Could I have picked a worse climate...

The languages in the office are mental, mix of Urdu, Tagalog, Arabic all going on at any one time, just to be able to communicate over the phone. That's brilliant, I like that.

Every hour or so, someone will appear in the office holding a solitary milkshake or a fruit salad, or one coffee... I just walked out the door, down the lift and around the corner to buy myself a Costa because I'm working late today... about 4 people just asked why I didn't get it delivered.

What the hell is up with that?

lol keep the delivery man in a job :)
