Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

"i shall now attempt to employ myself more gainfully by working on a contract for saudi!"

Working? what you

i have now read iturama's post and yes i do agree with a good % of it

i would take mild issue with part of it ......
without getting dragged back in, there is a difference between having a right to walk around somewhere at any time of the day or night and there are also areas in any city where no sensible woman (especially) would or should go at night

stan - i knew you'ld like it that the contract is for saudi :-)

It,

I suggest you look at "herd" theory and how it is utilised by "leaders" of "groups".

Might modify your opinion.

''there are also areas in any city where no sensible woman (especially) would or should go at night''-----------I agree, but a Festive market when accompanied by their partner is not one of those areas imo.

Oh yeah don't tell me yet another "Business" trip needed then I suppose.. your so predictable -):

thank goodness no ...... not until about april and then def not saudi; we meet in bahrain

Never been to the ME as it seems a very manufactured place and to hot.

dubai is certainly a rather strange place, but there are worse places to go on biz
may through october can be pretty hot, but it's the humidity in the evening that gets at you if you're by the sea

Maybe you could take Fred there to live Stan he loves it , set him up with a bedsit in Syria and jump back on the plane .

The only time I'm ever going there James is if it's a freebee somehow.. just like Alf -):

It,

Ps to P66901.

just look to the irrational movements in the market a little more closely and you will see "herd" responses working at a glance.

Crowd responses for the best or worst of people?

unununuh!

you're right stan ..... i certainly wouldn't go to dubai for a family holiday

you can do it fairly cheaply but you'ld need to have a done a lot of homework, stay in a rented apartment and know where to shop or eat out etc etc

though alcohol is permitted, you cannot just go to the supermarket to buy, so you'ld need to take it with (buy at the airport duty free on arrival is best bet) or spend £7/8 on a bottle of beer in one of the hotel bars or licenced cafes

if you like shit holes to go to go to POLAND A REAL SHITHOLE LOW LIFE ON EVER CORNER SLAPPERS IN GREAT NUMBERS A COUNTRY OF PARASITES
AND YES I HAVE SPENT A LOT OF TIME THEIR NOW WILL NEVER HAVE TO GO AGAIN
FAR WORSE THAN BANGLEDESH

LOL cynic ...

TANK i spent a lot of time in Warsaw in the mid 90's it was nice then and the people were tops ..

You are spending a lot of time in Spanish speaking territories Tanker. Your Spanish must be as good as your English by now....

LOL!!

he obviously isn't fluent enough to ask why the country and it's systems are so corrupt
perhaps he's just polishing up so he can escape to argentina with all his tax-free loot
