Phone cut off!

Well done O2, you have cut me off after being with you for over 11 years because you suddenly don't like that i need to use my phone more than average.

Fantastic rewards: heavy users ... eff off! Well I will.

UPDATE: i entered into an online chat with O2 and far from being apologetic they said, if you want to leave but keep your number we will give you the PAC number you need. Then he said i will hand you over to the sales team so you can leave us. I waited a few minutes only to be faced with an advert for an iPhone 4, 4S or 5 and no one from the sales team.

Loyalty means absolutely sod all these days and staff are so badly trained, aren't they Christo of O2?

Hire a Car ... Passport; use your credit card ... Passport

I went organise hiring a car for a long weekend. International driving licence nit good enough he said ... but you can't get one without having a full licence ... sorry. I said i'd left my full licence at home.

Then he said, i need your passport ... gulp. I was brought ip in England and in spite of working and living abroad since 1988 i've nrver got into the hanit of carrying ID. I said, i'll bring it tomorrow without fail. IK he said!

Then i went to buy something with s credit card. No passport, no can do! Grrr!

Not complaining, just reporting.

Finally, the driving licence i thought i'd left at home turned up in my suit jacket pocket. Praise be!

UPDATE: Saturday morning and we went to collect the car, armed with passport and full driving licence. The main man wasn't there so we drove away no bother!

Dubai Fountain

It looks to me as if there are some new moves in the Dubai Fountain. These photos hardly do it justice.

Dubai Mall is Heaving

Ivam in Dubai Mall for a while and it is FULL if people. Peak tourist season.

Last time I was here they were half way through building the walkway from the Metro to the Mall ... three months later it's finished and open!

Just eaten at Just Falafel ... apart from serving chips with meals, their food is excellent. Four quid for a good, healthy meal. Dubai Mall Food Court.

Post Box

I think i've never taken a photo of a post box before just because it's there although I might be wrong!

Here's one in the hotel though that caught my eye!
