They look like a really happy bunch! Imagine being taught by them. I think no. 8 looks like a Scotsman. He's probably a convert (revert). Probably a presbyterian in the past.

Hmm, the "Academic Manager", has worked in 12 countries in the past 16 years.
Apparently he has wanderlust.

Well, Uncle Scotty, it will depend on the type of camera!
Do you think their English chair is happy? I do not think so, just check his photo and tell me!

Well, tante Cleo, the above pictures are restricted to males only! That's why you cannot and will not be able to open them! Laughing
I suggest you change your computer and buy a new sophisticated one without firewalls restrictions! Laughing

Well, check the following:
Tools
Internet Options
Advanced
and check that all options under 'Multimedia' menu are checked.

And claims to be 46 years old! Looks more like 66 if you ask me.

Dear sheikh,
If the photo is anything to go by, then if he's 46, why I'm 39. Maybe the individual who put up the info is dyslexic, and Mr. Ellis is actually 64.
Of course, in that case, it would also mean that he's worked in 21 countries in the past 61 years.
Regards,
John
P.S. Maybe he should invest in some Grecian Formula.

The English Chair would not only frighten small children but grown men (and I'm sure he has made a few cry) .

Still be glad that JIC has the common sense not to publish photos of staff on their website. Now there's a real freak's gallery, not the kind of gentlemen one would choose to bump into up some dark Jubail alley.

I see one ex-JIC detainee has escaped (?) to KSU but I'm not saying who.

Pehaps the Academic Manager is 46, Riyadh can do that to a man...................
