Looks like he finally managed to fly the little sod home yesterday, with the help of hypnosis....

Usual schoolboy error of thinking the UAE = Dubai though.

Made quite a lot of publicity in the UK though, featured on the Jeremy Vine show on Radio 2 (where Abu Dhabi was correctly mentioned) and was also mentioned in a 6music news update. (I've given up with appalling local UAE radio).

That'll be something else he'll get hysterical about, no doubt.

Re: stranded in Abu Dhabi

My spies in the Emirates tell me the family were based in Al Ain. Tell me this - why do so many Uk families have kids who are completely, totally, absolutely messed up ?

This child and his parents disgust me - he could have been sedated and put on a plane ages ago. Strikes me as a case of parents obeying children.

Judging by size of said 12 y.o. he definitely gets to choose how many chicken nuggets he eats for dinner every night. It'd be OK with the parents though - as long as he eats his veggies it's all good, right? What's the bet those veggies tend only to be chips....

Are you two a couple of school yard bullies - you're picking on a 12 yr old!

Now if it was my son, he'd have been on the plane a long time ago - but he's not that big
