Thursday night frolics

Apparantly trilbys are in fashion in this town.

Ventured to the glorious Madinat Jumeirah on Thursday night, it seems to be THE PLACE TO BE on a thursday evening where an interesting blend of people stroll around aimlessly.

Meandering through the lobsters (toasted tourists) who always tend to dress in white or bright colours to accentuate their new sunburns. A generous dose of locals where the woman look myseriously elegant in their abayas, gliding around in large groups. It's quite scarey how some of the Indians dress their kids, 2 words come to mind, "child abuse"!

Cash machines are always out of cash. Signage is particularly bad, so most of the people you see are lost.

It's an excellent place for fashion faux pas spotting;
- guy wearing a black and white pinstripe jacket, white shirt, plain black trousers, white shoes and a trilby
- many many mullets with greased back hair
- white trilby and white jacket combo
- guy sporting a screamingly bright orange t-shirt and outrageous nipple pants
- more VPL than the eye can fathom
- many sunglasses and bluetooth headsets.

before i leave, i will club crawl in that hideous hummer limo (which looks like an old train), wearing my white stetson. Buy some jeans and sew a label on the seams "Choitrums" (it's a supermarket chain) whilst donning my mirrored shades and a t-shirt with the caption "too cool for skool".

come 'n' av' a go if you think you're 'ard enuf!

Gosh these spammers always seem to get you! I have got the funniest image of Dubai in my mind that makes me think that it's like 80s throwback central!

Visible panty line - its when you can see the outline of people's underwear through their outerwear.
