Enter The Dragon!

Sure you know there are no dragons but you've probably seen Bruce Lee's movie "Enter The Dragon" or whatever it was called... anyway this post isn't about dragons or movies, the title is just a desperate attempt to get noticed since I'm new here and wanted to introduce myself lol... lets hope I do it properly
I'm Mazen from Syria, been in Riyadh for 4 years and I work for a medical company. I'm here becuase I would like to hear from expats like myself and exchange thoughts.
Hope to hear from you
Hi Maz,
Welcome to the forum. Most of us are in Riyahd, too (although we'd rather be in Paris lol).
Your desperate attempt to get noticed was original--well, not the desperate attempt but the honesty in admitting it
@Jo Ann
Ahla W'sahla
@FeeAcer
Thanks a lot
@Alliecat
Yea I can see that most people here are living in Riyadh and it's not a surprise, people who live in Jeddah or Dammam don't seem to be online often they probably prefer fishing (can't blame them wish I could do that here lol).
And yea admitting my desperate attempt was probably a good call since people were gonna figure it out anyway

Hi Madmaz and welcome. A word of warning Alliecat may look like a cute kitty but she has sharp claws. Meeeeaaaaaoooowwww.
Hi jillndave,
I've read quite a few threads before I decided to join and post my own and I noticed she's one of the big sharks in the forum thats why I'm happy she's approved my post!
oh wait she did, didn't she?
she's one of the big sharks in the forum
Moi?
@MisterStretch
I'll swim and we'll see what happens
@Alliecat
Posts: 966 and counting, you probably know everyone here so yea that qualifies you to be a forum VIP... or a big shark the way I put it
Posts: 966 and counting
Yeah, way too much time on my hands
Ironically I am actually very busy--do a lot of part-time work in addition to my full-time job. But this is my way of relaxing (some people watch TV to unwind).
You know what MadMaz???I have already started liking u
I like the way u have initiated here and yeah lucky u our "Big Boss" seems to have approved u already"
Oh by the way "Welcome"[and mind it,its a non-alcoholic beer]
@Alliecat
I think I know what you're talking about, I don't know if its just me or everyone actually feels that way but seems that time in KSA somehow "acts" differently, no matter how much time you've got or how busy, free or even bored you are times flys by at an accelarated speed, it doesn't feel that way in my home country... I know I'm not making much sense! lol
I prefer the web over TV as well.
@nonz
Now I might be even luckier since the popular forum girl (you) seems to approve my intro post as well promise I'll try to keep the image... cheers btw, mind you it's a non-alcoholic kind of "cheers" :p

Hey Allie, I like sharks and their sexy tails
SO i don't mind eating them too
@Nonz
I was about to write something different but then came Alliecats post... obviously I don't really know how to make everyone happy I already got my self into trouble with the boss so you don't really need to reconsider lol
@Alliecat
the shark is THE boss Alliecat... I'd be happy to be one anytime
anyway I take that shark thing back... sorryyyyy
Oh God now he is getting more and more dangerous.
First,he choose the unusual topic to hit in the forum and get so noticeable
Secondly, he made us feel so imp here on our own forum
and now,he exactly knows how to speedily rectify his mistakes[even undone]
Yeah bouy,"You have just hit your leg right on some really sharp AXE"
already got my self into trouble with the boss
Okay, got to set the record straight: salman (the man, not the fish) is our boss in this forum!
But Maz, you've brought up something that interests me:
I've read quite a few threads before I decided to join and post my own
How long had you been lurking and what made you decide to finally participate??
How long had you been lurking and what made you decide to finally participate??
Allie,I 'm glad he did his homework before joining us
I've been lurking for so long!An hour before I joined probably it been so long since I've decided to stay away from forums coz people seem to debate endlessly without any outcome but this place seems different coz people are just exchaging info and having a good time rather than debating... so far so good

Well, when there are loads and loads of people discussing the same thing going around in circles it's a mass debate. You will not find any of that going on here.

we are a simple community who want to share, exchange and socialize in a manner that suits each and everyone of us. So far the forum has provided us a great platform to achieve this without any issues, controversies, and conflicts. We hope we can keep it this way?

Welcome MadMaz...spot on
@Dave
I guess a forum can tolerate some of these threads... but you're right I will not find any of that going on here.
@musicman
I think it's not that hard to keep it that way. When it comes to me I assure you I have no interest in controversies nor conflicts and I plan to keep things the way they are
@loanna
I think you're confusing me with someone else, I don't remember ever being involved in the shark business... I'm sure you mean someone else
Maz,
An awful lot of whistling going on in your last post
lol
True Alliecat, I was playing Zamfir's Lonely Shephered but seems like your speakers were turned off, don't worry though I'll play it for you again...
JULIEN!!!!!!!! We need a :spank: emoticon!!
Oh well, this will have to do

Alliecat, he seems such an innocent young man, why would you suggest that you want to spank him.
I'm shocked at you, then again maybe not.
@Alliecat
Did it occur to you that there might be a spank emoticon already on the site but it's disabled on the KSA forum to avoid misinterpretation > blocking the site?!
@Dave
You're right man, I'm so innocent that I don't even know what you two are talking about
Welcome to the Forum Maz, sounds like you are assimilating quickly!
Thank you CAF, I couldn't have done it without the great people I found here
