King Fahd Dead

[sirwa69]

It's just been announced that King Fahd of Saudi Arabia has died.
Crown Price Abdulla has been named successor.

What, if anything, will happen now?

More importantly, how many days will we have off to pay our respects

40 days and 40 nights, that should result in a mini Baby boom in 9 months, oh lord, I can see Fitzcapr reaching for his phone to order more guns to kill these terrorists.

Bars will be closed tonight in Dubai,

Will Abdullah Replace him, or will it be Rumsfeld? Have they voted already?

It would actually make for a wonderfull end of career for Blair too!

Where is the party?

[Fitzcarraldo]

Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn.

Bars in Dubai

I don't know where this rumour of all bars being shut tonight in Dubai has come from.

I am a Hotelier and we have received absolutely no instructions to close up shop. Everything is subject to change, of course, but
it appears as though it is business as usual for the time being. There is still no word of any official mourning period.

If there is any change to this I will endeavour to keep you informed. In the meantime, I am off for a pint.....happy to buy any
fellow readers one if you send me a PM!

Desert driver your box is full!

Got this text from a mate earlier

"The King is dead, Long live the King. BBQ at my place starting at 5 tonight"

It's going to be wet and not pretty but I will have a sore head and no work in the morning

Managed to get the wife to BMMI for essential supplies before they closed. Phew

A few banks closed this afternoon, normally open at 5:00 pm.
Was told sim sessions were cancelled but otherwise unless you watch it on the TV all is normal.

Dubai update

No live entertainment until further notice but alcohol can be served.

[gccpro]

One week of mourning for "government" entities as of today don't know what private sector will get, the short end of the stick probably as usual.

[Chimbu chuckles]

But do you classify the young chinese and Russian girlies as 'live' entertainment?

500 Dhs says they are!

[cat man do]

Hey Fox, I thought that was for a swap? Far too much for the other stuff, you are getting ripped off mate! Or are you the greedy type, 3 for the price of 2? Purr purr.
