DIGRESSION THREAD!!

I remember the good ol' days, when this blog had a purpose. it seems lately most of the posts are just pointless DIGRESSION.

Oh really?  My question to you, then, is what are you doing to bring the forum up to your expectations? 

Every post doesn't have to be about how some ex-pat is being mistreated or somebody's visa/contract/iqama problems/questions (of which there are many and fortunately there are several knowledgeable members giving excellent advice, so I certainly consider that a purpose).

This particular thread is meant to add a bit of fun--it's as simple as that.

Have a good day

That elevated rather quick

I was not referencing this particular post as evidently this post was created for random content, I was referring to some of the other posts in the Saudi page. the ones which has no value at all for expats in Saudi or expats consedring Saudi as a destination.

I'm not really sure why you took it upon your self to reply , my thread was not directed to you or posted in reply to any of your posts !

Please allow others to have some space, you don't have to voice your opinion at every chance you get.

As for my self; simply by not adding extra rubbish-like content, i am contributing.

have a good night !

Digression: Alliecat's CAT has started to look old earlier than I expected.

When the cat's away, the mice will play.

I am very confused by the " baby on board sign"  Does it mean that the woman in the car is pregnant or is there a baby in the car?
Does that mean drivers can't cause an accident ?

Just a friendly message about not to honk or drive behind rashly
I have seen other warning notes like 'The person driving this car is a trainee.' That really helped me once when I increased on distance and he really took a surproze turn but I had moved afar.

Are radar detectors legal here?

I don't know and I don't even think it exists here.

Anyway, that was totally my fault so I assume my beahaviour.

1). hate people who play call of duty on PS3 and think there amazing xbox 360 was created for the elite hardcore gammers come online lets see how good you are.

2). Hate people who think their better then everyone else, can't remember the person but i know the quote "Man who thinks he knows everything...is nothing.....Man who thinks he knows nothing...knows everything"

3). This planet is not divided into pecies its a whole thing, religions should not be divided we are all on this planet together so we should learn to live together !!!

4). thier are 3 types of people in this world 1) Those who make things happen ? 2) Those who have an idea of whats happening 3). Those who pause.....and then reply "what the hell just happened?"

Has anyone ever been to the dentist in Saudi Arabia?
I have to take off/snatch/extract/blow up a wisdom tooth.

Looking for a gentle one !

Not legal but a lot of Saudi's use this. There is even an application in iphone that you can download and use.

The app is based on contributions from people. They have to mark the new cameras found and delete the moved out ones. Now naturally people do mark the new places (good stats exist there) but who cares to delete a marked point. I tried it for a week or so but had to delete concluding that it's total mess full of wrong and fake points.

Hey Aliecat.Well you know guyz when someone is caught up between 2 cultures?So he has something like from one culture and another from diff culture?I have 2 cultures in me and that is making me confused!Like if u were muslim living in the West u would be diffrent from others ?Doesn't that suck?
second:I am eastern european so I got hard time getting to know anybody here ,is like westerners are always very too reserved!So I got to know these 2 western women and I have different culture from them so I don't know what I did but they never called back lol!They said we definatelly have to see u again and then bam! they disappeared like why so hypocrits?I like to be direct most of the time!I am very emotional and joking and talk loud and very friendly ,maybe I was too pushy ,I don't know ! Kind of sucks !

Cheer up

An American:
- We have Barack Obama, Stevie Wonder, Bob Hope and Johnny Cash.
An Italian:
- We have Silvio Berlusconi, no wonder, no hope and no cash.

I said 'pretty little head' hoping to get a reaction   What reaction?  I have no idea but it would have been fun, I'm sure.

However, he didn't reply

@Calentica87  All westerners aren't the same.  Brits tend to be a bit more reserved.  Americans?  Hell, we're usually joking and laughing loudly, too!

Just keep looking for friends.  It's difficult here because lots of people are already 'established,' meaning they have a group and aren't interested in new friends.  Lots of other expats are just plain looney--I swear they're hiding out here because they can't make it in their own countries.

I totally agree with meow
