"bib" Laughing "pib" is most commonly a soft drink and is capitalized.

The thing that I hate about all of the long-lived posters here is their ability to spell! Laughing

Dear rio darro,

This is bergerac's first post on this thread:

"scot47 wrote:
Don't do it. Avoid these places at all costs. I mean ANY private school in KSA. Private universities are not much better. See other posts on places like PMU, Dar Al Uloom etc

Get a decent employer like one of the State Universities or a military contract.


How can you advice people on places you don't even know?
Who says State Universities are better than private ones in the Kingdom?

There are just as many horror stories in State institutions. There are many horror stories in many countries anyway including our own.

If the place stinks that much, what are we all doing here?

I feel that a lot of these advice/sentences are totally baseless.
You read a post and you take things for granted and you pass judgement.

It might be useful to tell people what to look for and what questions to ask and let them form their own opinion.

Judgement based on reported speech is not really fair until you can give people exact facts and evidence.

See the turnover in a particular institution compared to the average in the country. Try and see why people really leave or are sacked.
Be specific, please don't just say "don't go there" "go here" etc"

which doesn't seem to match what you posted:

"hey bergeurac,

Did you not notice, before engaging these people, how none of them had any specific information regarding the institute to which you had applied? You came to a PUBLIC FORUM owned by DAVES ESL CAFE seeking information and with a specific question."

bergerac wassn't the OP, of course; that was TouchDownTexas.
What specific institute did bergerac say he had applied to? I seem to have missed that.

Regards,
John

John:

This rd character is simply a nuisance factor. He didn't like my first post to him as he childishly retorted. I've told him before to cease or get the job. I've reminded him of his "Adios". Yet, he just keeps comin' back for more. He's a troll in a poster's paradise. Rolling Eyes

Adios, rd!

For once, make your words meaningful! Laughing

What annoys me about Bergerac ıs hıs assumptıon that we are all Usanıans. ('our own country')

Let me say now that I am not and never have been a cıtızen of the USA.
