Stanley is a rag (but don’t tell him) and he has spent many an evening in the gutter but he recently went up in the world, well the 27th floor of the Burg Al Arab to be more precise.
He was sneaked into the Al Muntaha restaurant as he didn’t want to pay the AE500 ($145 or £100) for brunch, but as he promised to behave I promised I would consider taking him with us. ‘Us’ was a group of speakers from the OAUG Connection Point in Dubai. Normally Stanley is not about the finer things in life but I had to balance the fact that he had recently had a bath with his track record of getting into many food fights at this kind of get together, but after much persuasion from my fellow speakers and the important lack of his normal bad influences Dan Norris and Mogens I decided to relent and let Stanley join in.
Stanley did behave which is a good thing as all the other restaurant guests stared at Stanley as if he was something out of the normal. You would think he was the first vest to have brunch there. (I was not brave enough to take a photo but others did and it will be added soon).
The food was excellent with caviar, lobster, fois gras (ask Nadia just ‘HOW MUCH’ she ate) and every other kind of food imaginable, my favourite was the champagne jelly. Stanley did behave which is good as I had another even higher surprise for him later that day…..
