Flip through the latest issue of Gulf Weekly.
I am sorry to read about all those complaints of Bahraini graduates who do not find jobs immediately. I can feel for them, as they are, just as I did when I was young, dreaming of swapping their classrooms for posh offices, preferably with a company car and expense account ... unfortunately it is not that easy and never was, not here and not in any other country.
Fair Play to Maradona! Not something you would perhaps associate with the Argentinian owner of the ‘Hand of God’ but my sources tell me that Maradona and his international entourage gave up their business class seats on the flight to Bahrain to allow some of the younger Emirati players the chance to enjoy a taste of luxury, while they took their seats in the economy section.
My source also tells me that he had spent an hour in the lounge and also some time on the flight posing for photos and signing autographs, unlike some reports to the contrary.
