| Yeah. I've been encouraging my beneficent KSA employer, since they're so rich, to move the base to Tahiti, or Florence, or San Francisco. Of course they have declined though they did admit that it would no doubt benefit our institute greatly to have a view of Bora Bora and Tahitian girls cavorting about the beach and perhaps joining in the, er, discussions. Good enough for Fletcher Christian and Marlon Brando, good enough for us, that's what I always say. Now that I've softened them up, it'll be a piece of cake to convince them to move to....Dubai...or...Abu Dhabi! Yay! |

Bahrain Labour Law actually states that non-Muslims are entitled to one day off per year to observe a religious holiday. University of Bahrain always used to allow Western faculty to have Christmas Day off. |
