You really couldn’t Open an account use UAE card. Nope card would not work. Open an account use UK card. Nope xard had UAE address wouldn’t work. Open a UK address account and UK card then open account Mobile phone number was wrong Get a UK mobile phone. Wouldnt work because it was roaming on the UAE network. So you really couldn’t. It is easier these days with online accounts ---

In the day i was in a consortium tgat owned a Racehorse. ÂŁ300 investment The Shetland Pony (Channel Four after the radio station) got us into the owners lounge & free booze at the course. It came sort of midfield then sort of OMG 3rd then i took my Mum and it fucking won. It won again Then it qualifued for Dubai World Cup weekend - the Derby or something. It was favourite. Then a Sheikh asked to buy it. We only wanted to go to the owners lounge on WC day The Sheikh insisted We said no. The horse got injured never raced again We made of that what you will. But yeah i tried everything to be able to bet on it. ---
