Ron's Favourite Place

Message Bookmarked
Bookmark Removed
"Dubai is my favourite place in the world. It is family-oriented - not full of discos - and the authorities are very strict with people stepping out of line. You can have a drink but if you break the law the police are severe".

Ron Atkinson, Guardian, today, p.28.

Is this column a wind-up, written by Nick Dastoor?

One of the other PAs here (who is obv getting paid more than me) was going to Dubai for a holiday which seemed odd. I bet it's full of rich men. Hmmmmmm.....

Rich men = England players

Mmm, but footballers only want to shag busty blondes OH HANG ON.

That rules me out then.

PS / point of the thread was: is Ron saying that he likes places where they dish out draconian penalties (sic) for petty crimes? Does he know what he's saying?

Perhaps he's angling for a lucrative job, like that other bloke whose name I forget. Not Alf Ramsey, the other one. Len Fairclough, that's it. My dad used to be very keen on those kind of places too - 'if you get caught pinching, they chop your bloody hands off!'
