The food keeps you from starving. It's cheap enough and if you don't cook, it can save you money.

Dearest "Kittycat", I'm NOT from texas. I simply turned an about face and walked away. I wasn't in Saudi on 9/11 (which is my B-day Crying or Very sad as I may have had an exit-only visa processed for me...at the time, if'n I had been!). I did well in those years, but my position now after upgrading my quals puts me into a MUCH better position for me and my own.

Scot, peace, I get VERY riled when people put things upon me that are untrue. Your silence speaks volumes. If one does not engage something that is utterly untrue, in MY thinking, then it is tacit agreement. I COMPLETELY DISAGREE with your statement. Ergo, I protest!

Fair enuf, then... Silence speaks volumes. I believe that my point has adequately been made. Let it be known, however, I didn't seek to confront, I sought to learn. I "learned" a lot from a lil' Irish colleague years ago in Riyadh that if one is silent when something that is NOT true is said, then others believe that acquiescence is confirmed. I never left without my LoNo. I was always an employee of hono(u)r that any of my employers would have welcomed back...whether I wanted to return or not. It was always MY choice.

If they deported NCTBA for not having learned how to use the quote button I would be all in favour.

All of the replies are nonsense. Unless my question is answered, it's all jes' smoke an' mirrors. You both need to go off together and massage each other's egos. Casting aspersions has nothing to do with using a quote button or giving a full-on kiss to Scot.

Kudos for trying to divert the issue, tho... Laughing

If thou art in want of a quote, howzabout dis: "How much wood could a woodchuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood?" Rolling Eyes

Dear Stephen,
I believe it (they) was/were this/these:

Who in the H-E-Double Hockey sticks ever said that I got deported?

Wot makes you falsely assert that I was deported from the wonderful Land o' Culture and Dignity?

But Scot, let's not be throwing around frivolous accusations unless you can quote,,,and you can't...my being deported?

ALthough the last isn't really a question.

Regards,
John

I wonder what he did to arouse the anger of the authorities. Why was he deported ?

Come on, Scotty. In fairness to our friend, NCTBA, you should either provide some evidence or withdraw your statement that he was deported. Or, are you the kind of man who likes to make accusations and then hide behind the anonimity of the net?
You could, at least, contact him privately.

Hey NCTBA... good to see that some people seem to be giving support on that deportation accusation that has now been moved along to the next page here. Laughing Laughing Come on Scot... confess that you were just trying to get his goat (perhaps that is an old saying that shouldn't be used in the Gulf).

But, NCTBA I have to agree that I find your use of the quote function to be often confusing.

Well, in the Magic Kingdom, just replace "goat" with "camel", it will give the same meaning.
