had a st day at work, then that. then the doors to my building were broken so i couldn't get in. when i finally got in only one lift was working. it was all i could do not to boot the cat out the window when she started calling for her dinner as soon as i stepped foot in the door.
can anyone tell me why they need to close off traffic for the boat show? or is the mentality of the RTA and police simply to go fk things up at every given opportunity?
going to polish my carbine now. stay safe

I was sat in traffic going no where fast watching the fuel gauge drop further and further until I finally got to my garage with it reading 22km. Not looking forward to an equally slow exit to the nearest fuel station tomorrow.. Afraid the boat show is on a few days and if I recall correctly, the diversions were on for the whole of the show last year..
Afraid its going to be chaos for a few days yet. They are particularly excitable this time around as they have a very large super yacht in that they are trying to flog for $300M or so. Its quite nice, but I wouldn't call it super..
Took me ages to get out of the marina this morning due to a set of diversions I didn't see last night. My suggestion if its a walkable distance is to put your cars on the waste ground between Spinneys and the Marriott; come off ZSR at Nakheel and head for the marina, take the fly over towards Spinneys and turn right at the bottom of the hill right next to Spinneys. There is paid parking there, but plenty of rough ground to dump cars on, though you need to be very careful as the ground is very rough there now. I have to be really carful with the Lumina and it still grounds out..
