For the record I ended up at Scarletts in DXB - OK, though notmuch of an atmosphere, apparently voted the best bar!
Sherlock in BAH was amusing though I wish I had time to check out anita at diggers
Went to Cyclone a while back, full of Russian, Chinese and Thai hookers, Sars too!
2 SARS bugs leave a pub, one says to the other God I could murder a chinese.....
Apologies for the joke and thanks for the suggestion!
And Sim Guy - at least someone has it worse than I, RUH!!!? Enjoy the freedom
