Dubai Do buy

Landed in Dubai at 0430 after a fitful sleep and an 'OK' movie, Brooklyn's Finest,

Airport signage for transit passengers none too brilliant and my journey from Terminal 2 to Terminal 3, a 25 minute walk was made more pleasant being in the company of a lady travelling with her son and daughter to Beruit.

Marvellous: Dubai International is one big shopping mall, dwarfing my favourite emporium, Westfields and at 0500 it was heaving with punters.

Everybody keeps asking me about the World Cup, as if I know whats going on. "You like Becks?" "No but I'm loving Posh's new range of skin care, expecially the two for one on day cream"
