I'm having a mad moment, perhaps it's the Tito's, but I arrive on Blinking Awful flight LHR-AUH @2300 night before (14/9) (tier run) I'm seriously thinking of a day trip for this.

You'd make it! I'm thinking we'll schedule for 5.30ish. 770 will get you into town around 5.30/6

OK, I won't know until Wed night though. Unreliable friend supposed to be coming to DXB with me, if he actually turns up then plan off. Otherwise I'm game for a day trip.

Make it a weekend at least! Then Friday will definitely be more fun because we're going to have to show you around a bit :D

Meeting 0930 Sunday 17th in DXB !
And it can't be re-arranged! Otherwise I would stay longer.

Ok everyone, 3 days out, time to decide the venue: Let's meet at 5:30pm onwards at Bascule, with the option of moving to Den Anker or Quay Four around 7:30pm for dinner, if everyone's keen.

Seaforth Sep 12, 2017 7:59 am

I'll be there !

Perfect, will you be wearing your new Ambassadorial Robes to be recognisable? or do we all wave our Skywards cards? :D:confused:

I'll be wearing my red robes with an Emirates baseball cap and have several staff members beside me ready to server Arabic coffee :D

Not quite sure yet how or what, but I'll make a reservation for "Tim Clark" so ask for that if you can't figure it out :D

Seaforth Sep 12, 2017 9:15 am

Can we send the bill to Sir Tim ?

skywardhunter Sep 12, 2017 9:35 am

Correction, they don't take reservations but I'll let them know when I'm there to direct anyone asking for Tim Clark to send them my way :D

You do realise that ambassadors are expected to arrive with a big box of Ferrero Rocher for the riff-raff?

This is Africa. I'll have Pap and Boerie rolls.

(Heavy SA reference, maize based puree(?) And sausage in a hot dog bun)

Maybe I'll have some chocolate for those that are punctual ;)

Looking forward to meeting everyone. Maybe we should have a password? "Chicken or beef?"

Remember that the current 'issue' of chocolates is Niehaus. ;-)
