So I have just arrived in KSA. Started work and had to deal with all the shit that happens in this part of the world. Miss my wife and son heaps. I know that I have to and will push through until they arrive.

Until then, anyone up for a beer.

Holsten is the closest to a real beer taste.

Welcome to the KSA bhills. Must be hard for you, being away from the family, and I'm sure they miss you too. In the meantime, drown your sorrows in non alcoholic beer. Well, you won't really drown anything since you'll still be dead sober by the time you're done, but at least you get to meet some cool people :)

Welcome Bhills2153 - this is the land of Hotel California - if you know the song, you will know what I mean!  As Sparrow suggested, try and join the mad gang for the meal tonight, will be great to get an early fix on the faces behind the posts - and then can arrange something for the weekends ahead for your sanity check.

Despite what Alliecat says - I'AM the ONLY sane one here!

Fidgety Soul

I will try to join you all, but I have no car, I don't know where I am going and where I live is very isolated so I am affraid I will get lost returning. I have been fortunate to have a driver who takes to and from work, actually that is pretty normal here.

Nonzie's mom is such a nice lady! :idontagree:

Alliecat

btw, something weird about this emoticon:  :idontagree:

It's labeled 'idontagree' and yet it's nodding, which indicates agreement (at least where I come from!).

musicman

i think its more like saying "Queen Anne is dead..."
