Laugh of the day

I’ve just found out that the Burj Al Arab hotel in Dubai, which is where our Dhow Adventurer friends are photographed (below) functions like a visitor attraction.

If you’re not staying there, you have to pay an entrance fee to get in and look around. The woman in uniform is the visitor concierge who takes you on your paid guided tour.

So the Labour leader goes to Dubai on what is supposed to be party business, and the only photograph that idiotic Poison Dwarf releases with the party’s official press statement is of three tourists in their tourist gear, being shown around a famous hotel by a guide after having paid their entrance fee.

FOOLS.

This is worse than that photograph – also shot from below, presumably because the Poison Dwarf won’t let anyone else use the camera – taken when Joseph Muscat bumped into Francois Hollande by the lift in an office corridor, and released by the aforementioned Poison Dwarf with a press statement claiming that the Labour leader had met Hollande.

Indeed he had. “After you.” “No, after you.” Or whatever it is they say in French and Burmarradi.

    With Hollande,very likely, it was apres vous.

    At the Burj, given a free vote, it would have been more like au-dessus de vous.

    Everybody was expecting photos of the Blurred Prince admiring the Emirates and waving from the balcony of the Royal Suite, as a rehearsal for the celebrations of the 2013 victory at home.

    According to internet sites, the Royal Suite is located on the 25th floor, and has an area of 780 metres squared.

    It has:

    1. Exclusive privileges – Private elevator, private cinema
    Lower level – Dining area, Arabic majlis (reception) style lounge and library.
    2. Upper level – Master bedroom with rotating four-poster canopy bed and second bedroom, each with adjoining marble bathrooms with spa bath, walk-in shower, fine porcelain fittings and full sized Hermes 24 – Faubourg fragrances and body products.
    3. Marble and gold staircase, leopard print tufted carpets, Carrarra marble flooring and mahogany furniture.
    4. Chauffeur driven Rolls Royce, Mercedes-Benz or helicopter transfers are available at a charge.

    Unfortunately, we will have to wait until some time after 2013.

    It is taken at that angle to show the atrium, I reckon. Otherwise it could be any hotel, anywhere. In fact, it is a very generic hotel photograph to my eyes. Maybe some scamp with digital editing software will put these three in a variety of locations.

    My idea would be an Arriva recruitment day (the lady has an Arriva-blueish jacket) with them being asked what their credentials are.

    How can these idiots be so inept and naive? Wait a minute–most idiots are inept and naive. I guess little Joey and his bunch are very special idiots, they don’t have to work at it.

    Can anyone explain what the lady is holding?

      I hope she did not HOLD her breath to listen to the brains of those three ‘guests’ working. She’d be dead by now.

    The way Joseph Cuschieri is looking at the guide makes me wonder.
