The midnight meeting request for an absolutely genuine full on business meeting. No I did not go. Clients like that I can do without

Every year I await the news stories about people admitted to hospital for over eating. It's only truly Ramadan in the GCC when that happens.

I have also been amused by the amount of billboards advertising food especially for Ramadan. Crappy McDonald's burger for iftar anyone? :tape:

I think the phone call I got from Etisalat's customer complaints department at 00:16 last night was a good one. It was like it was just a normal day for them.

Got a nice one from the ROP thanking me for 'abiding by the speed limit' and wishing me "Eid Mubarak". Guess I don't have any fines, then πŸ‘πŸ˜Ž

Driving at speeds lower than the speed limit probably has something to do with it :huh:

A silly season!!!.. how typical. This is just the impression of those who can’t see beyond their body needs, which actually deserves a pity from me for the miserable state of existence they are in!!
