Not directly aviation related but as residents we're all affected....
Headlines in the local UAE entertainment pages over the last few days....
Following the amazing popularity and success of "UAE I.D. Card Registration Process", the relevant authorities announce the release of the much anticipated sequel, "My number, My identity" (otherwise known in Satwa and other such salubrious neighborhoods as "Registration Fiasco Part Two")
Pre-release details leaked to media indicate the storyline runs similar to Part One; 12 million sim cards required to be registered at 130 outlets in 18 months with a confusing array of ever changing rules and documents required, leads to numerous "fine dates" being forever deferred, with subsequent social chaos and confusion, mixed together with a large degree of apathy.
Sources on the inside say that while the numbers simply don't stack up, that has never stopped a blockbuster being released in the past.
Entry charge is yet to be determined; but no doubt this will create a healthy income stream for the aforementioned relevant authorities, and more work for under-employed locals.
See it at an Etisalat or du store near you from 17 July (along with 6 million others in the same queue).
