The summer is upon us and the relentless tide of infinite-eyed, grinning evil is around the corner.Meanwhile, the Modhesh Friends' Club has been announced: up to 300 lucky children between the ages of 3 and 12 will be able to, for a fee of just Dhs 1,000, take part in summer activities and 'edutainment' thanks to the team at the Dubai Shopping Festival. From June 24 to August 24, kids will be looked after from 10am to 4pm. Parents can register children by supplying two photographs and a passport copy. Passport copy? Are they for REAL?
Yes! They are! The passport copy, says the DSF press release, is required for age verification purposes. They're obviously worrying that people like me will sneak in by wearing short trousers. Or perhaps that the under threes will creep in and bully the older kids.
Whatever. Let's not be mean-minded. I'm certainly looking forward to seeing a lot more of our plucky little yellow friend over the summer to come. It's filling my heart with stuff already.

The solutuion to Modesh is to combine this posting with your grilling-without-fear posting. The sight of a barbecued Modesh gently starting to melt would make many people happy. That's a Vision that I could buy into.
Nice observation Alex!
Yes, isn't it time a new mascot appeared?
Isn't Dubai about new-new-out of this world stuff every year .... this mascot is a throw back to 5 years ago!
Boil the bastard!
He's a worry alright! Here's to a whole summer of the wee sucker giggling around every corner! :(
I LOVE MODHESH LEAVE HIM ALONE!!!
