So I spoke to one of my friends, who was a senior VP at a large retail company. He joined in April, and has unfortunately lost his job 2 weeks ago as part of a huge re-structure. His home that was part of his package has been taken away, because as you can probably imagine labour rights are non-existent out there. Apparently there are massive issues out there currently as the number of ex-pats outweigh the number of jobs, and people are moving without properly understanding the cost of living and all the additional costs with regards accomodation. Heat in the Summer is unbearable, and where his wife and newborn are over there on maternity she was pretty much housebound for 4 months last year.

With regards how Dubai is right now, he said it's just really odd. Nobody knows what to really do so they're staying inside for the time-being. Loads of noise constantly overhead, but nothing too bad as of yet.

He's coming back as soon as he can, unsurprisingly.

Hope he kept his place in the UK

More a case of me being too quick, something Mrs Sums often complains about!

Been reading Andrew Lownie’s Entitled book about Andrew and Fergie (Sarah, not Sir Alex) which is currently 99p on Kindle. Apparently when Fergie first started sleeping with Andrew, Koo Stark taught him to count to ten (which it’s claimed he did out loud) before he fired off the royal caviar from his cannon.

Petrol stations are already getting ‘fun’. Get ready for the photos of people with jerrycans in the Daily Mail.

In a few weeks there will be shortages of various things in the UK, and prices will rise. 

Get your bog rolls in now.

Yes, it was made up on the moment of posting 😀

Good work Sir, I hope you don’t mind if I borrow it.

That is very sad indeed Sheaf. Hope it settles down soon

My brother reports that it has been much quieter today. Over the weekend they could hear the drones flying overhead but there's been none today.

Still no confirmation of what's happening with the funeral though 😥
