They saw me in the Beano and got in touch with DC Thomson. I think they've dealt with them before. www.majid.ae/ |

I found that site very odd. Mostly cos I can't read it but I did find it weird that one of the websites they link to is a site about knitting.

I'm not sure what is going on but I think it has something to do with Derek making his debut in the Middle East. To celebrate his next step towards world domination, here is a brief paragraph about the United Arab Emirates: The United Arab Emirates is a Middle Eastern country, situated in the southeast of the Arabian Peninsula in Southwest Asia, on the Persian Gulf. It borders Oman and Saudi Arabia and is rich in oil. This means it has quite a high Human Development Index of 0.839, making it the 49th most developed country in the world. (For comparison, the United Kingdom is 18th whereas Norway is #1.) The capital is Abu Dhabi, which means "Father of Gazelle", and is apparently the richest city in the world. See? Geography can be fun!  |
