Hiya Claire,
I know a few people there. Don't fancy Dubai?
PM your cv and I'll forward it on.

Are you sure the issue is Libya specific and not just the Middle East way?

There are plenty of issues in the UAE too, as Chilli has shown on here - Champagne isn't served cold enough, Home help only tends to work 23 hours a day, Swimming Pools are often 1 degree too cold.

Cheers Chilli, I will send you a PM.

Mattttttttttttttttttttttttttt...nope, just seems to be Libyan, apparently very normal.

Today was a good day, drinking flash in the sun but the bad is starting to outweigh the good. So time to move.

If you end up in Abu Dhabi, join the British club, great facilities, pool/bar/gym, sailing etc and all that stuff.

Just a long waiting list wink

Facilities are good, if a little dated.

I thought it was whenever they had a space, and they tried to replace with similar - i.e. if a bloke left they got a new bloke, if a family left they got a new family.

I never joined, I slept through my appointment time - but went a few times as a guest.
