8 days of undulterated bliss in the United Arab Emirates

[Sir C]

This is an attempt to win the Rhetorical Question of the Year Award, right?

It was between 35C and 39C every day we were there with clear blue skies every day. Mind you, I tend to sweat less when swimming in a lovely pool or the Gulf of Oman and gulping down dozens of pints and G&Ts every day.

D'you know they always give me the same room at the MO, just because I mentioned once, perhaps 12 years ago, that I liked it. 617, a few doors down from the John Le Carré suite. They never forget.

God knows what I'll do if the day should come when I can afford to stay in the John Le Carré suite. Break someone's heart, no doubt.
