If you swim, run, and go to the gym the weight will drop off. A 20 minute jog is as good as an energetic sauna. You do the maths.


Swim? sorry I was not as privilaged as some.
Run? Nice one. I'll try that next time in Saudi but only in the winter.
Jog? same same as "run" above
Gym? Ok that's acceptable but some of us had too muck work that we just had to bring it home with us. Either that or get replaced.

Please keep in mind that the eutopian Saudi only exists for the few not the many.

Well we've covered modern day slavery, homophobia, racism, ageism, funny walkism, inequality of pay, and diverse sexualities in just a few short posts.

One day ESL teachers will rule the world and everything will be sunny and bright.

Dear Cuffs,

But . . .but . . . it's almost always sunny and bright in Saudi (except at night, of course.)

Regards,
John

Yes, and my girlfriend is Thai. I suppose if she were in her 20s, people would make an issue of her age, too.



I wouldn't. (most) Thai women are beautiful, slim, and cook the best food in the world. Thai women often look much younger than their western counterparts (although I think Japanese women hold the trophy for ageless beauty).

What's not to like?

Dear bulgogiboy,

Perhaps - but the problem is figuring out which half.

Regards,
John

I will help you out a bit, though. Scot47 and I are teetotalers.

Naw, that'd be the "Pet Peeves" thread on the General Discussions Board...

You can always tell when it is summer leave time. Cool

But I have to say that "funny walkism" was a first for Dave's.

Well yes of course I am. Aren't we all? Whoever ventures onto these golden sands of the Moores is in the wrong job.

If you don't like the heat, get out of the matbakh.

My idiot students would've said, "If you don't like heat, get out of chicken"...

Cuffs, I am sorry to say that it is not what you know, it's who you know that makes the mutfak (Turkish) bearable.

Hi tannhauser,

wanna date? Embarassed

Is that really you in your avatar?

Are you really a female?

Sorry but it looks a bit provocotive. I was almost knocked off my easel.
