Guilty...

His relatives were some of the most active posters of the pictures about his health over the weekend!

For those of us that have been here a while you will like this definitely a rumour from the last time around.
The date is interesting, 5 days before he "died" even the yankls were dismissing it as a rumour

Very interesting read.

+1. change a few names though and it could be 2014!

wasn't the guy in paragraph 7 the one who was filmed electrocuting a member of his staff? widely respected indeed!

My mate's wife co-owns a business with the big boss's granddaughter.

She hasn't heard anything concrete, but notes that the majority of the family are staying local for ramadan/summer rather than flee the heat.

I'm erring towards a name change above the door rather than a funeral. Down but not out.

Mate was at a Suhoor with some top brass from ADNOC last night, they said the big dog will be off in the next few days.

Sunday/Monday I reckon, going straight into Eid, they as good as called it for Monday 28th earlier this week.

Slightly misleading article, 5 days from Friday means we'd get the public sector 3 days rather than normal 2 days.

You can still use an ATM, but I'm not sure where you will spend the cash if everywhere is closed?

This is all starting to sound a bit silly now.

Oh well, another Ramadan past. Roll on the rumours for the next one.
