This morning my day started with a big old laugh... this time at the fantastic skills of the Australian media. Today it seems, my house is in danger of being bombed by terrorists!
Allow me to explain: I live on the Palm Jumeirah in Dubai. Nakheel, the company that has developed the Palm has recently opened a massive hotel on the Palm, Atlantis. Its been open a week and already I've eaten there twice... there really is something to say about Palm living... or my laziness.
Even though Atlantis is now open, being Dubai, it is still obviously under construction. Then there was the small issue of when we woke up a few weeks ago to Atlantis being on fire....
Nothing new here in Dubai, however of course that means the actual 'offical' opening of the hotel won't be until the end of November. Touted as the most exclusive event in Dubai, the opening party will only be attended by 2,000 invitees and guests will be treated to an intimate gig by Kylie Minogue.
How does this all lead to a terrorist plot.... well of course Kylie is al-Qaeda's ultimate symbol of Western decadence.... of at least that's what The Daily Telegraph would have you believe. British 'spies' are apparently tracking claims terrorists plan to bomb the hotel... wait for it... following chats on internet chatrooms.... hmmm...
Funny how only Australian media sites are covering this story.... stay tuned to see if my house survives November 20..
