Dubai Dreams on BBC 2

There is a series on at present on BBC 2 about Dubai. What is interesting is what they don't say rather than what they do. So far the BBC have covered the press (Gulf News not the favourite number one paper), and the housing boom. Should be interesting if they cover the seamier side of Dubai and the Emirisation of companies. Got it on tape to savour and feel homesick about later.

Yes, we are all starting to really miss the UAE. As winter starts and the snow and frost start then it will get worse.

Don't worry Dabbler - I had to scrape ice off the car this morning! (I tell lies too). But you can now go and get your bits frozen off at the Ski Galaxy / Maul of the Emirates).

From time to time UKNOVA registrations re-open. My suggestion is to put it as an easily accessilbe link on your browser and click it once or twice a week. The same goes for DEMONOID.

In answer to the Island question - yes: episode 4 covers the various projects.

Good luck.
