When the tradesman turns up to do repairs at the agreed time, and you find your day has been totally disrupted,

You want to get to the Mall 100 metres away, on the other side of the road, and think nothing of allowing for a half hour and/or 10 km drive to get there, because of clever road planning

You can say "Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Prime Minister and Vice President of the United Arab Emirates, and Ruler of Dubai" without a) Taking a breath, or b) Having to think as you say it...
