Re: Silly season is almost over...!!!!
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?

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 👍😎
