Boys and girls in the kingdom -

Today I had the pleasure of meeting the one and only Cleopatra. What a charming young woman. I was fortunate to be invited to her home and met one of her friends too. Both women were just wonderful and I hated to have to leave after a couple of hours.

Dear zeke0606,
Boy - Julius Caesar, Mark Anthony, and now you.

But seriously, I envy you that opportunity.

Regards,
John

I find it unusual that you would share this information...anyways...it's always a good thing to have friends to socialize with in the Kingdom! I am sure you are richer for having met the --famous Cleo in person. Cool

Maybe we can start ESAJFSG (Eslcafe.com Saudi Arabia Job Forum Social Group) and visit each others homes. That would be a way to network and stay sane in the magic kingdom.

I have to say that though I have the regular pleasure of hanging out with the Queen it was an added pleasure to meet Zeke. His impending departure will be a true loss to the kingdom.

Is there a social group from this Forum? It would be good to plan events and do stuff together. Peoples' identities would have to be verified and checked before meeting, though.

Before meeting anyone from this - or other fora - steps should be taken to assess their sanity. Lots of crazies out there. Some of them post on this site. I have met some of them.

If you would like to sign up with Socially Inadequate Posters Need Friends (SIPNEF) send me US$500 by Western Union. You can then attend gatherings and impose your loopy ideas on others.

SIPNEF sounds like it rocks! When's the first meeting? Is there coffee?

I have met my share of somewhat strange EFLers in Korea (and even in the Gulf..or, maybe, especially in the Gulf). And they weren't even through boards...they were colleagues! One guy had a cool (maybe cool isn't the word?) sword with blades coming from both ends. He photographed it with his cell phone and texted it to people who had ticked him off.

if I'm involved, most definately yes! Cleopatra (or more accurately her rather expensive machine) does make a fine cup of capuchino, though I do say so myself.

A belated thank you to zeke and amanti for their kind words. Hey, it's not often anyone on this board has anything good to say about Cleo Very Happy
