There is a clean atmosphere there.The boss is the boss.He doesn't need a
coven of backbiting Brits and a greasy Pole.Its different to JIC.

As myself, Rennenkampf and the 'Greasy Pole', together with others at JIC all worked previously for the EC, you will find us in agreement with that last statement, though not possibly in the way you intended.

But tell me. Up till now there has never been a single person make the reverse journey from JIC to the EC. Do you anticipate an avalanche this summer when the contracts are up, especially as NOCs were abolished this April.

Last Wednesday Zardoski posted some real dirty stuff about Steve Jones
and the others on here.This slander was reported by some guys to the Royal Commission Director General.Maybe Zardoski will return to the European Centre this summer.

The salaries are about the same but the EC overtime rate is higher.The
management manage at the EC and they do not obviously,need to use a servile hack to obscure the truth about them.

The European Centre provides priceless oportunities to travel to fascinating places in the Kingdom such as Najran and Bureida.My colleague was in Najran and was enchanted by the scope for speaking nothing but Arabic.
Comparisons are always odorous but there is a tremendous spirit of adventure at the EC.

I think that contingency highly unlikely.That behaviour in company time is just not countenanced at the European Centre,as opposed to the Job Centre.
The European Centre rivals the Ascot Enclosure in its aplomb.

As far as I know he is still in Najran waiting to use the fax machine.

Bureida? Is this guy taking the piss? When I worked for Al-Rajhi ("Al-Dodgy" - Stephen Jones 2002) being sent to Bureida was a punishment for naughty sinners or a gesture of kindness to the quirky homosexual.

Really? I intrigued ,begged cajoled and badgered to be sent to Bureida in order to live in sepulchral isolation.Maybe my quest was unsuccessful because of my love of virtue. (MOD edit) I myself am a lifelong celibate.

The phrase goes back to 1998 or earlier. I am not sure who coined it; AH (MOD edit) most likely.

Six pack Joe in the UK can only dream about places such as Najran and
Bureida but the European Centre will pay you to go there.
You live in splendid isolation with no Greasy Poles or Chesterfield Weasels.
