Were you doing the wobbly head thing?Originally Posted by Sir C
And they've just upgraded it, depending on when you last saw it.
Their champagne bar there was most excellent. Lots of vintage champage, some Michelin star level nibbles to tide you over until you get on the flight.
Quite marvelous.
No, of course I wasn't.Were you doing the wobbly head thing?
Maybe a little.
Well most Emiratis are Wahabbis and it's definitely an autocracy, so...yes.You think the UAE is a Wahhabi autocracy?
You really haven't visited it, have you?
They can be soul destroying. There have been several times I have spent 3 or 4 hours sitting in the lounge at Dubai, on my way home from a long and hellish week of work. Alone, exhausted, aching, and nursing a nasty lager, 12 hours into your journey and still 12 hours from home, I will admit I have been close to tears on a number of occasions.
Yeah. To be fair, if you'd got a bit stabbed, you'd probably have deserved it.
Which part of the terminal? The A gates one is excellent, the B gates lounge has been pretty ****e for years.
THe smoking bar in the A gates lounge is wonderfully comfortable.
I remember waiting for a flight at fück o'clock in the morning from Changhi where the booze wasn't even making a dent and I was finding the stupid little river they have running through the airport really fücking irritating. And - if I can say this without sounding racist (hint: I probably can't) I was really sick of being surrounded by chinesers.
I was at a low ebb.

You think the people in the UAE lead their lives according to Wahhabism in a way similar to, as an example, Saudi does?
That would be the UAE where women work, drive, walk around uncovered and where almost a third of the members of parliament are women?
That seems harsh.
