No no no,

Both Cleo and Q of S are what Stephen accurately described as warped little schoolmarms. They wrap themselves in their abayas and shrill, unconsidered, knee-jerk political correctness and take pride in spending much of their lives in Saudi Arabia: not only that, but in Saudi Arabia under the mistaken assumption that they are female muttawas--arbiters of PC. How pathetic.

Stephen Jones and I have disagreed about language before, and it was obvious that one thing Stephen does not do is consider the "Queen's English" the only correct one. He seems to be a theoretical linguist, and linguists do not designate any standard dialect as the "correct" one. As usual, Q of S and Cleo show they have not had the benefit of an education that emphasizes dispassionate and thorough analysis. In other words, neither of them has a clue. What's quite amusing, however, is Cleo's constant insinuations that men in this forum are clamoring for her body. I have three words for that: Don't flatter yourself.

Our prissy little schoolmarms also accuse us--as men--of being on some kind of eternal hormone-driven search for young Asian women, who aare apparently supposed to be either bargirls or poverty-stricken and desperate! What a witless stereotype for all, both for men and for Asian women. Well--I am married to a Chinese from Kuala Lumpur, and previously very well acquainted with many Chinese women, from KL, from China and from Singapore. I can confirm that Chinese women are NOBODY's kitchen slaves. So stop insulting Asian women when you don't have a clue. My wife is a successful businesswoman, but if she were a successful basketweaver she would still be worth 10 of you provincial little schoolteachers.

Dear Cleo

Why are you using big AVATAR, you could have chosen the same avatar with minimum size!
Yours is spoiling the area of the thread, and you notice that there is large space unused left next to your avatar.

I propose for you the following avatar (of course, of your preferred Hero, Crowe!), the size of the avatar is only 5K.

Or if you want, what about this one:

BTW, Cleo, I think there is a big difference between the real Gladiator, and the Mickey Mouse Crowe, because it seems Crowe is gropping women wherever he goes to pubs, what a type of 'hero'!!
Read the story about him..........

Crowe Back to His Old Ways?
Hollywood hellraiser Russell Crowe has landed himself in trouble again - he has been accused of groping women in a bar in Canada. The Gladiator star was thought to have calmed his wild ways after marrying Danielle Spencer last year - but reports near the Toronto set of new boxing drama Cinderella Man suggest the opposite. After a flurry of entries on a local message board, Toronto Star columnist Rota Zekas revealed some locals' claims in the newspaper. One post alleges an incident took place on June 27 at Hemingway's Bar, and reads, "There he is, last night... Hammered out of his skull at Hemingway's in Yorkville... hitting on everything that moves. I mean right out there in the open, hands all over girls' legs, begging girls not ��..

You're out of line here Queenie. You've gone too far. Very sad indeed. I think you might be due another break from this forum.

Cleo--I have not worked at a military school since 1994, and that was for only two years out of the last 20., and was in Saudi only from 1992-96.(However, I might add that the "military" teachers there were not inherently inferior to you. I know that's hard for you to believe...but there it is.) The rest of the time I have been at universities. I have not been in Saudi since 1996 and, being of sound mind, will never return. Besides, it looks like Q of S is very angry and might demand a duel or fisticuffs if she somehow knew I was arriving.

Q of S--you mystify me, as usual. This was the first time I ever mentioned Asian ladies. It was in response to Cleo's multiple references to us males supposedly wishing to secure ladies from Asia to oppress.

Not sure why you treated us to a mini CV, 'nomad', since I have no interest in your career track. Do we take it that your career simply follows that of your 'succesfull busineeswoman' wife? Couldn't be the other way round of course, given what I know about ESL salaries. That would not be possible.
