Indirect Taxation by Etisilat
Just as an aside, and for those of us in the paradise of Dubai...please check your mobile phone accounts to see that our friendly local telecoms provider hasn't "inadvertantly" turned on your GPRS, ie MNET on your account. It was on mine and it would appear reading Seven Days that I am not the only one. When you try to get to the bottom of it with questions like "how was it activated on a day in 2005 when I wasn't even in the country" (with passport entries to prove), the managment at the Commerrcial office of Etisilat deny all knowledge and claim "it is impossible" for that to happen". I smell a rat (or goat) and more money grabbing and totally illegal indirect taxation by the greedy arabs! They will of course reimburse the monies.....not!!
The SH*T bucket is fulleth to overflowing lads....not long until I am out of here now either!!
Off now for a nice DANISH pastery with LURPAK butter...
Keep Discovering!
