Yep Ed is right!
No really everyone here has been advised to stay away from foreign companies and expat gatherings and the worst thing is that Starbucks is below my building!

SAFETY AND SECURITY
Terrorism
In view of the risk of hostilities with Iraq, there is an increase in the threat to British nationals in countries in the region, including from Iraq.
We believe that the UAE, in common with all the Gulf region, is a place where the threat to British individuals and organisations from terrorism is now high. It will rise further in the event of hostilities with Iraq.
You should maintain a high level of vigilance, particularly in public places frequented by foreigners such as hotels, restaurants and shopping malls. There is heightened concern about potential threats in places of entertainment. You should exercise extreme caution and follow good security practices
Developments on Iraq and any further increase in regional tension could affect our travel advice. You should check it daily and follow developments closely.
Domestic Political Situation
Travellers to the region should be aware of the impact that violence between the Israelis and Palestinians has had in the region and the risk of public disturbance in response. Recent developments in Iraq will also have had an impact on local public opinion in the whole of the region and this might be expressed by some people. You should follow news reports and be alert to regional developments which might trigger public disturbances. You should take sensible precautions for your personal safety and avoid political gatherings and demonstrations. Any increase in regional tension might affect travel advice.
