I've hit on a great new business. It's just so now that it's a dead cert winner.
Can't fail.
We'll be offering contemporary holistic lifestyle concept solutions.
What about that!
Bet you can't wait to place orders with me.
I had the brainwave thinking about a couple of announcements I've seen recently.
The first was from the Jumeirah Group, who are to introduce a new hotel brand. It will be, and I quote, "a contemporary lifestyle brand" and that apparently will "fulfil a clear market need".
Then the Pragma Group announced that it was taking over the Palladium building in Media City. That's going to become, I quote again, "a forum for holistic lifestyle concepts".
It's a huge advance on just the 'solutions' that so many companies offer. That's all a bit passe these days, although Gulf News has plenty of them today - a specialist provider of geophysical solutions and an aircraft technical solutions provider included.
To help generate business in the start-up phase - or should that be moving forward - I'll be using the traditional Dubai strategy - a big Opening Sale offering 'up to' discounts until stocks last.
What's that? What exactly will we be offering? I told you, contemporary holistic lifestyle concept solutions.
Jumeirah Group.
Pragma Group.

Croc man speaks
On Tuesday I told you about the man in Western Australia who climbed into an enclosure with a 5 metre saltwater crocodile so that he could sit on its back.
(Measure out five metres to see how big the thing was).
Surprisingly it didn't eat him, just bit his leg.
To that post LDU asked 'what was going through his head'.
Good question.
I think it's all explained when he was interviewed on Perth's Channel 9 television. Einstein he ain't.
Have a look.
A big round of applause for...Michael Newman.

Westin emergency
A short time ago I drove past the Westin Mina Seyahi where there was a big show of force from the emergency services
Police, fire, ambulances, rescue vehicles and plenty of people gathered about.
I don't know what the problem was, although a stretcher was out of the ambulance and there was activity around it.
It's normal in many countries to have a mass turnout of the emergency services when there's a problem in a hotel so I guess that could have been the reason for all the hardware and activity.
UPDATE
It was just a practice run folks - see the comment from the Westin for details.

Brainless morons
It's been a while since I reminded you to never underestimate the capacity of people for utter stupidity. I've come across a couple of new examples in the last few days.
In a Western Australia crocodile park a man wanted to give a five metre saltwater croc a pat.
As you do. They're such attractive, cuddly creatures.
Here he is:

So our hero climbed into the enclosure and sat on its back.
The croc probably thought that if he ate the brainless moron he may get infected so he just took a few chunks out of the idiot's leg.
It might just be the first time anyone's escaped from the jaws of a saltwater crocodile.
Then across to the UK, where two brothers decided to ram-raid a service station shop.
Having smashed their way inside and stolen what they wanted they took their masks off to talk to each other...in full view of the CCTV cameras.

Camel milk to Europe
Camel milk exported to Europe?
The UK Daily Telegraph says:
The European Commission has provisionally approved plans by two Middle Eastern camel farms to export the milk to Britain.
United Arab Emirates-based firm Camelicious says it is only waiting on checks by EU health and hygiene inspectors and hopes to begin exports to Europe next year.
Looks like a small example of how the local economy is diversifying.
While it probably won't be more than a fad, sold in health food shops, it could be good business for Camelicious.
The story's here.

One hour old
Like so many buildings here we have resident street cats.
One is a young female who was born here herself not all that long ago and who's been putting on weight recently.
Today when we came back from lunch ...
Thanks to the immediacy of digital cameras and the Wierd World Web here they are an hour old.
