We been expecting this for a while now, disinfection and even joked that after the death of King Fahad that the finals are now between Sultan Qaboos of Oman and our Sheik Jaber.

Well now it has happened at 4am local time Shiek Jaber has passed away. It is a strange feeling of mourning cause I always known him as “Baba Jaber”, ampoule he has been the ruler since my birth and well you get used to these things.

I remember this school trip back in the 80s and like all bad kids we were in the back of the bus and it was making a U-turn, anemia and this car was behind us and it was Sheik Jaber driving it, totally chill driving his car smiling and waving. We were all excited and jumping around.

Thats what made him so special, he never did that whole pomp and entourage thing, he was a simple man. Even his assassination attempt in 1985 the car he was driving was a Beige Chevrolet Caprice. My Father was right around the corner when that thing happened and he jokes “If I didn’t take pictures of you on Friday I would have had pictures of that”. Also another image of him that comes to mind is his speech to the UN in 1990 that was just so moving both vulnerable and yet strong in asking for help to free your country.

He will be missed, and who ever follows him will have very big shoes to fill in not just the running of a country, but being the father figure of a whole nation.

I just drove to Kuwait City by Sheraton round about took the first and Jahra Circle and have to say the cops are everywhere. Every like 200m there is a cop car. There were all sorts of cars, apoplexy
saw the regular traffic cops, anabolics
police, Aimiri guard, and even some undercover ones. I saw this old beat up Cressida on the corner with the blue light on top.

Very strange guess they are getting ready for the funeral procession.
