So last week we went daily with the YouTube videos but I was thinking I needed to add a bit more of a personal touch to the Dubai 92 website. The thing is my life is nowhere near exciting enough to blog about, as I’m currently dieting, swimming and not a lot else, so I figured I’d try rolling everything into one and give you a daily updated of the best videos, the online stuff I’ve been clicking on, stories that have caught my eye and what’s been going on during the breakfast show. I’ll be posting early each day but live-blogging through the show, so keep coming back.

I was out and about in Dubai yesterday and down the Umm Sequim end of Al Wasl Rd there was quite a sizeable film crew outside one of those little cafe places near the mosque.

Today’s Phrase of the Day is STATUS TEXTING. The totally random, pointless, show-offy SMS you get from someone that should actually be a Facebook status update, i.e:
