But so far so good, found my office, and found PH.
Have work stuff to do all this week, but if anyone is around at weekend, and fancies a beer or something more cultural let me know.
Hope you're using a secure connection to come on PH like all of us, you know the police here go round in black vans lobotomizing anyone they can find who comes on sites like this.Have work stuff to do all this week, but if anyone is around at weekend, and fancies a beer or something more cultural let me know.
...also if you do go to the beach, don't be seen to swat at any sand flys, they all are protected by the royal family and you can get locked up for killing one (a bit like swans in the UK).
...other than that Welcome to the Middle East!
I'm only slightly ahead of you - arrived in July. Hope you're settling in alright - I'm wading through piles of bureaucracy at every turn, but slowly making progress.
If there's any kind of meet up this weekend I'd be up for tagging along. I'm trying not to spend every weekend working, walking around the malls or sorting out admin!

We need to get a few Pistonhead stickers - on the list of things to do for my car.
If you come across a silver long wheelbase Cadillac SLS (like an STS) that is covered in dust, that is almost certainly me (I don't think many were sold here).
The faces of the chaps at the mobile car washing things in the malls light up when I park, then are crestfallen when I say no.
I've stocked up on some decent(ish) stuff from Ace but need to rebuild my collection of Dodo Juice items.

I had a hire car so dirty that they refused to clean it in MOE because of the mess it would have made!If you come across a silver long wheelbase Cadillac SLS (like an STS) that is covered in dust, that is almost certainly me (I don't think many were sold here).

Do you intend to clean it yourself???

Yep - and to do the whole claybar, DA polishing thing too (once I figure out how to bring mine over from Australia as stupidly left behind by mistake).Do you intend to clean it yourself???
I know it is not the 'done thing' here!
I managed to avoid cleaning the rental for 2.5 months (white Camry - likely to be the same place you got it) but kids wanted to go through a car wash so I relented. Goes back at the end of the week (I had just signed on for another month when the Cadillac guy offered it at a bargain....bah!!)
