I am getting bored with Qatar/Dubai/UAE etc etc and their shameless exhibitions of wealth - what good does it do ?

Glad to see the spirit of Christmas shining through..... what the hell will they come out with next ??

Or am I a miserable old git ??:)
Thanks to MSE I cleared £37k of debt in five years and I was lucky enough to meet Martin to thank him personally.
