Here we go again

Any one who has been around females long enough will know that some have an uncanny ability for being rather indecisive when it comes to shopping. Hours go by as the clothes on display at each shop are carefully scrutinised and worn, the ultimate exasperating sigh coming as a result of six hours of "does this look good on me?" with no shopping bags (or hefty credit card bill) to show for it. Flitting about from item to item. Dubai does it best.

After talks of offering citizenship to long-term expats were swiftly denied, after news of a hike in visa fees was dismissed a few days after, and just recently after the whole visa ban malarky, here we go again. KT reports:

The Minister of Labour and Social Affairs, Dr Ali bin Abdullah Al Kaabi, has proposed granting UAE citizenship to expatriates of high caliber and highly skilled professionals who could be key contributors to national development.

"Why don't we avail of highly skilled professionals for our economy needs. We should attract them and even grant them nationality to benefit from their high qualifications," the minister has said.

Will this news be fiercely denied in tomorrow's papers?

Responding to a question by your favourite No.1 newspaper, Khaleej Times...

I just choked on my coffee...

So true, so true... :-)

Whenever I read that remark in any of their articles... I feel like strangling someone! It's pathetic!!

Maybe they unwittingly enjoy the use of irony ;-)
