#1 Love the repeated ~~stick it to the Saudis~~, Doc! And I have nooo doubt the Royal knickers are, indeed, in knots over this, given their unhappiness over our arrangements with Kuwait and the recent row when we sealed the bargain with Bahrain. Just need to make arrangements with Qatar to sew up the GCC.

To be honest, I'm not sure if there's anything more to this than just Saudi hubris, but it is a nice bit of spectator sport for those who know the amazing over the top arrogance of the Saudis first-hand.
