- Mooch will be the voice of the common man.
No one seems to know exactly how long Mooch has been living in Dubai, though some claim he’s been here since the time the Palm was a just a tree and Atlantis was still a myth.
So, what’s special about this guy? Nothing, really. Mooch is just your Average Joe, except that he has this uncanny habit of landing himself in awkward situations that most of you would identify with — and most certainly laugh at. Mooch will be the voice of the common man.
Love him or hate him, you just won’t be able ignore Mooch. In the weeks to come, this endearing character will draw your attention to a host of issues related to your city.
Let us know what you think of him. Your feedback is important. Send them liberally at editor@alnisrmedia.com
