I am very colourful: Green with envy, blue with cold, pink with embarassment, white with shock, and grey when I'm dead.

Mr John - too right, no messing with us Valkyries or you get PILLAGED!

Dear LOL,
Don't forget SACKED - you have to SACK prior to PILLAGING; it's in the Viking Rule Book (all one page of it - they're not big on rules.)
Regards,
John

Kipling, why have you given up the pursuit of a wonderful life in the KSA?

All others, stop picking on Eclectic, at least he adds a little life to an otherwise mundane message board existence.

Thank you Tilly of the Midfields, willy-nilly in the Meadows of Wessex, in the County of Essex! Very Happy

Or are you more slanting away in the Shanties of Whey, with Little Miss Muffet, at the Buffet?

A little lick of life I try to inject, aye!, into this often too sensible (should that be hyphenated, then?) submersible crucible of Lucifer.

Ahh yes, this Crucible of Luficer! Twisted Evil Laughing

Some of us are condemned by the Fates never to see the Elysian Fields of KSA !

As for "point of origin" for KSA contracts it is always worth bargaining. And remember that most people in KSA have a fairly sketchy grasp of Geography.

They ran out of time, if they had really wanted me they wouldn't have, but they did, so they didn't get me, I had to make some serious decisions and I made them. No problems....it's just a job and I will always get work and the same or more money and holidays ..............just a few less family perks.
Do we live to work or do we work to live?
Guess which one I always choose???
In every way,
I am Mr K
Hip Hip Hooray!!!!!

AHA! So amongst those tender shoots of greenish fantasy lies some Bombay elixir. Funny how India is still part of it there.
