OK so you will have all heard about those Dubai Brunches where Brits then get themselves locked up afterwards and sell their stories to the Daily Fail.
Well yesterday was our first experience of a “New Dubai” “Industrial Scale” Brunch out at Atlantis on the Palm. I’ve been VERY anti them - 120 quid a head for a start and a mecca for fans of “excess”, but yesterday was my mate’s 50th birthday party so we were invited and had to go.
Place starts with a whole Red Carpet thing & Paparazzi to make you feel “something” get an armband get a glass of Jacobs Creek Bubbles (NOT real ones) and in.
- Place is HUGE
And it was totally full. Brunch starts at 12:30 sharp and at 16:01 they are pushing you out the door. I’d say 90% were Birthday or Hen Parties and WOW the ladies were dressed up posh.
The food - there was a huge range including a Pork section, Sushi, Roast Beef & Yorkshires, Fish or Pie & Chips and even stuff like Singaporean Black Pepper Crabs. To be honest though the actual quality was not 5 Star - sure it was way above work canteen but they weren’t the best cuts of meat for example the Gammon, Beef & Lamb were all really fatty.
Lots of deserts but all kind of meh
The Wine was also cheap shit - 6 quid a bottle Jacobs Creek, stalls with Corona or Heineken or Magners and then cocktails urgh
There was a DJ mixing the best Friday Afternoon tunes and a band and as the time ticked on the place went nuts - everyone dancing - from THAT perspective the whole thing was Epic. It really was a great vibe and because people were in groups there was no sign of “leery pissed up Brits” (maybe most of them had gone to the Liam Gallagher gig).
Anyway the buckets of Vodka, Lemonade and Red Bull and the several huindred Jaeger Bombs eventually took their toll Fuck knows what that red smoothy thing was and the Tequila Watermelons were just stupid. How the fuck are you supposed to down a watermelon in one? But it’s that kind of afternoon
We were herded out, and then got on buses to the “after party” at an outdoor lounge the other side of the hotel to let the taxis cope with the hundreds of people leaving.
And some DICKHEAD (not me) decided that was the perfect time to splash 350 QUID on a bottle of Grey Goose. Like we needed anymmore.
So I think we left the hotel around 6pm. Mrs D_P made it from the taxi and collapsed on the bed came round 13 hours later with an uuuggghhhhhh.
I had bloody hiccups which stopped me collapsing until at least 7pm. And today is a TOTAL wipe out.
When comparing the cost of the Brunch - it was stupid - my crew spent the same amount on 3 days in Sofia. We certainly didn’t eat food or drink booze at the Brunch that was worth 120 quid or so.
But as Birthday Parties go, I do have to admit, it was bloody EPIC and while you waste TWO days (recovery day) of a potential holiday here doing that shit, it was enjoyable - which was a shock to me!
(But how the hell do those Holidaying Brits do a brunch than manage to have sex on the beach at 2am? )
Now off to get some more Brufen.

Ah that explains a lot.
I have been reliably informed that at Last Orders I was spotted in possession of 2 Pina Coladas, a Strawberry Diaquari, a bottle of Magners, a glass of Pink Bubbles and a bucket of Vidka.
When I left the building 15 minutes later, there was only ice cubes left in the bucket as a sign of my passing by.

Impressive !
When will I ever learn. Those last two pints were completely superfluous.

Superfluity is probably the soul of something good. Or something.

Seriously regretting the gin binge last night. It’s all very well pouring your own measures at home as its cheaper, but staying in the pub might have saved me from the motherload of hangovers.
I stopped after the one and only cocktail as I had to go to Portsmouth this morning. That left me feeling filthy enough.
On to the dark and stormies this evening.
