Hippy chic
So we live in the hippest town on earth, yeah right.......Fox news, of all places seems to be the originator of this bizarre article with the Gulf news picking it up today.
So what is a hip town? Depends on who you are I guess, but I'm afraid the fact that wacko Jacko even visited this place relegates it to the seriously sad, not hip. And because some footballers were given a good investment opportunity on the Palm projects hardly makes it a stylish fashionable hip place, probably the opposite.
In fact who even calls a place hip now? Austin Powers?
Anyway back to the nonsense.
Jacko and Rod Stewart have bought on the world, really? So how come when you walk past the place there is barely a single worker or ship working on the place, it looks like a ghost town out there, hardly fashionable even if we thought two over the hill singers were the epitome of hip.
Donald trump? WTF beats me, that one.
"Attracting major celebrities is an obvious boon to any destination seeking tourism dollars and cachet, but the sheikh's idea of turning an oppressively hot town caught between the desert sands and the Arabian Sea into a cosmopolitan city to attract the likes of the Beckhams was an idea that was far from obvious. It was an idea born of desperation."
Must be bloody desperate to believe that giving a house to a couple with a combined IQ of 14 is a basis for future growth.
Hip towns don't have to "attract" celebs, that is why they are hip, the celebs and the rest of us are dying to go there, we pay to go there not the other way round.
I could go on ripping this piece apart but hey.
Now the Weasel loves luxury, and given unlimited cash would live in fashionable clubs and spend the season in Courchevel, British Virgin islands, the Hamptons, Aspen, Mallorca etc but Dubai?
Na this place really needs to market itself as it really is....Vegas.
In another bizarre twist we have had this article circulated at work by the boss presumably in an attempt to convince us that despite our rapidly devaluing wage packets we really should be grateful as we live in the hippest city on earth. Well hip don't buy accommodation or pay for the massive inflation that this town is in the grip of.
Latest casualty is ciggies. Now since the Weasel only smokes in bars and cars (occasionally) this is not a huge issue but what is interesting is that the rise is 33%. Yet another stat that contributes to our miniscule official inflation rate and massive real one.

Fags have gone up? Since when? I kind of agree about buying in celebs. And as for Dubai being remotely 'hip', thank you but no.
