So the UAE is struggling to donate money to Pakistan, during the holy month of Ramadan, which is the Muslim period to think of others and give donations freely!
The UK has collected in donations at least 6 times as much, as an act of humanity.
Bearing in mind the oil revenues and free flowing US Dollars to the UAE, this is incredulously small change.
On the radio today the charity collecting has said it is disappointing!
So what is so forgiving and benevolent in Ramadan???

Quiet day reading the damned British Press
So the news today is that the NHS has paid about STG 29 mio for fat bastards to get help to not eat.
On another page is about people who cannot get expensive Cancer drugs to stay alive.
Who is more worthy the pigs or the unfortunates????

Middle East slide
Following on from my previous blogs:
Tax to be introduced 2013 percentage not known yet
Heard through the grapevine ( friend of a friend who works at Gasco) that there is only 30 years left of oil in UAE. I have no idea if this is true, but wouldn't surprise me

An end of an era approaching
5 days left of my time in Abu Dhabi.
It's been a good time.
My main aim is to finish phase 1A of our project and leave feeling I have contributed to a project that will take at least another year.
However, trying to get local people to be motivated and involved, as well as learning a system, has been the biggest challenge. So now it's time to take control by taking control!!!
You want something done, then do it yourself!!( a collective phrase)

GCSE results at William de Ferrers school
My daughter passed 10 out of 11 GCSE's.
However, what upsets me is that her better subject Art she got a C.
Why am I upset.
1. She expected to get better
2. The teacher lost some of her work!
This is the second time that work has been lost by incompetent teachers, when there is no recourse.
The first time was for PE and I sent a letter and highlighted the fact that I had seen the work and obviously kept it stored on my computer. All of a sudden it was found by the teacher!!
I want to go up there and kick the shit out of the bitch who has given my daughter a hard time all term in ART although she gets brilliant comments from all the other teachers.
Obviously this teacher has a problem.
However, my daughter is now giving up Art because of it.
These idiots and has been's, need weeding out and thrown out of the system.
I always thought school was based on ability and not personalities!!!
Anyway, I can't say anything because my daughter says it makes matters worse. So not only are they bloody idiots they are vindictive as well!!!
As I can't do anything, perhaps all my readers can send some comments to the school

Marriage question

Male point of view
Woman point of view
One answer - Man can buy a shed and have his domain!
Any others?
