it is most definately who!
The mrs got herself a job managing a stables....she loves it, a lifelong dream. Her boss is a top bloke, an Emirate.
He used to be bib, but now is a successful businessman, with fingers in many pies.
Anyways, I'm looking to buy a car. He says his mate has one, and I can have it for silly money. Turns out to be a Porsche Cayenne, so I said no thanks.
Then I spy a lovely x5. Handy that his mate is a dealer, and I get a load chopped off the price. Go to register it and they are closed. No they're not he says, and gets him "mate" to open up the shop and get it done! Licence plates next. Queue? Nope waves at the guy behind the counter and everyone else there dissappears.
The mrs rsacks up some parking/speeding tickets, on her company car. No probs, a quick cvall by the boss and they've gone.
The local council are giving him a hard time, so he phones his mate "in the palace". No more problems.
The mrs has bought me a dog (long story) On the market for 12k, so he pays 1!
My job is looking shaky. No probs, he knows the HR director, so gives him a ring. That's now sorted.
The list goes on. Off to the Meydan racecourse for the Gold Cup. VIP tickets, top hat and tails....yep, didn't cost a bean.
Life is so much easier here if you have a special "friend"
Think he's banging the mrs??!!

Hmmm....praps he doesn't realise who I am.
Maybe he has a thing for you....Don't worry about the Cayenne, I've too many cars already and I need to decide what it is that I want before I pick up anything else because it is cheap, which is what got me the Jeep and the Boxster.
Stables info would be good, I was dragged over to Jebel Ali Equestrian Centre at the weekend and it looked like an Eastern European zoo. We then went to the polo club which is all very nice and faux-posh but they've got a waiting list.
She's not riden since her teens so maybe 15 years or so and just wants to get some lessons and build back her confidence.
