Tsk.

Back in Bangalore our office is near to the air port road.. so whenever a highprofile fool is passing by, they used to cordon off the road.. I remember how we used to swear at them national and inter national leaders who made us wait for 20 mins on the way back from work..

I couldn't believe at first that the supposedly most progressive city in the Middle East will be entirely shut down for Bush. He will then say tomorrow how amazingly traffic-free Dubai is.

....and so compliant, tell all your disciple stay at home.... and the stay

What a joke

who cares abt some minor roadside bombings....

'Her indoors' has been told by her employer that she 'must try to make an effort and get to work tomorrow'!

This is in Internet City...and we live in Jumeirah 1. Any suggestions (forget the helicopter option!) as to how she is supposed to get there? Incidentally...she doesn't drive yet!

cycling seems like a good option.. If the munipal authorities dont create a problem there's scope for lots of cycle rickshaw's here.

But it's a holiday for the Public & Private Sector, will "Her indoors" get a big fat bonus for going in tomorrow?

Would you believe that most of the employees live in the Marina area and they were told to walk to work!



Knight

Some of my Indian and Pakistani friends were told that if they do not show to work today they would be repramainded or could even lose their jobs!
