The QE 2 set sail today for Dubai where it will be parked at the Palm Jumeirah and turned into a five-star hotel. Everyone seems to think this is a great idea except for the Scots, who don't like seeing their maritime heritage sold off to the highest bidder. But I guess it's better than the scrap yard, although that's hard to believe, seeing as the old girl will probably be turned into some sort of floating Arab bordello.This is more proof that, as Philip Caputo said, "The final indignity is that there is no final indignity."
