Hi Duffy Very Happy
Epicticus and Steppy Boy same same Very Happy
It's not obvious at all is it?
Trolling for reactions, how sad is that......
You've found your 'sweet spot' and we've found ours, so it's a win--win.
Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.


Anyone cursing Oman needs a year in the Magic Kingdom for attitude adjustment therapy. Cool

No sh*t Sherlock...... Very Happy
The stories I've heard from recent refugees of the Kingdom make the blood curdle and the hairs stand up on the back of my neck.
Send Epicticus/Steppy to the Kingdom, I say!!!!!
Off with his head!


Well done Desultude for making a more viable life here Very Happy

Well, Pik, you seem like a cheerful enough character, so I'm inclined to believe that the places is not as bad as some who have tried to characterize it.

Turn back! Don't go to Nizwa. It's a horrible, isolated place. You are not going to like it there, believe me.


Sounds horrible. Plagues of locusts, earthquakes, living in a shotgun shack with no a/c or water.

I will purge all thoughts of ever heading to Nizwar.
