    Some people have so much oil spellchecks don't matter.
    Andy zap got ripped off royally in Dubai.
    Perhaps if we took the fed ex number and all mailed bricks simultaniously we could bring the country to its knees.
    Ask him for a upfront negotiation fee, spin it as standard practice.
    Commend him for at least attempting to kiss your ass.

      I'd be very careful. Doesn't look very professional working out of a Flat. If you have the time I have dozens of horror stories to tell about when we worked the Middle East. If you go, be sure to get your RETURN ticket before you go.

        Guys Guys Guys ... lolol. ... I think people are starting to take this more seriously than it was intended ... Rob I think you have been in the game long enough to know any problems that can happen with overseas contracts ...

        Ive worked that same shoppping festival a number of times plus most of the top hotels in Dubia and Abu dabe and Ive never had any problems ...The reason was I always went though the same Agent in the UK ... Chris Ferguson .... He deals with Dubia all the time and has done for years and he I can saftly say is one of the only honest agents ive ever met.

        I know people who have done the shopping festival direct and got screwed big time...

        He even gave me his credit card number once when the cleint forgot to pay excess baggage on the return flight ... Me and all my Magic props, two DJs and there stuff and a 5 piece band were at Dubia airport at 4am in the morning being told we had to pay £7000 to board the plane home... I called Chris collect and he said give them my credit card number if you need too and we will sort it all when you get home .... Now how many agents would ever do that ...lololo....
        If anybody wants his number email me and ill pass it on too you .... or his credit card number ...hehehe

          I think it's a great idea since sometimes the lesser is morer. You never no thoe, it could be better to wait it out and tie it off for a month or a week. Mark Twain said, "...don't .... be the .....difference." And that's basically why.
