    well, that's what all the time at the airport going out was for, loading up on duty free

    or you could've used your 23kg to bring in beer (or tawny port in a nalgene bottle)

    I got a massive falafel wrap, dips, salad, fries and a bottle of water for 35 dirham at lunchtime. That's three quid. I really should have researched this better, or just drink less. Quite atmospheric hearing the call to prayer from my balcony watching the sun set.

    the call to prayer can be quite beautiful, sometimes stop to listen to it when i'm in arab lands, let's raise a glass to them!

    It's generally the only time they stop shooting at you as well, so that's quite nice.

    Colourful day. Relaxing with a beer now. Jesus it costs a lot to drink here. Lovely lunch in the medina. I stuck to veggie food, falafel etc.
    Looks quaint.

    Sounds like you need to save money by having a beer when you're back in London.


    Is that you in the purple top.

    Surely that's a bit of gamble given that they don't drink?

    I gave him some cash as he looked very hungry and had only one tooth, but no, not me. My phone tells me it's 36 degrees tomorrow. That's too much, might get up early, or go out late.

    Okay, i'll try and explain. Are you sitting comfortably? Listen carefully, i'll be asking questions later. Sungod said:

    "...sometimes stop to listen to it when i'm in arab lands..." and then... "...let's raise a glass to them!."

    'Ding', light bulb? Anything?

    Answer below if it hasn't come to you:






















    Arab's don't drink - even you said that. The irony? I think SG will confirm that the construction of his sentence was quite deliberate. If not, he's seriously gone down in my estimation and I take it all back.

    Ah, so your 'woosh' didn't refer to Sungod's comment?

    Is that why your minions up and leave constantly?

    For you Hoppy

    Sounds so much better when taking a substance.

    I'm sure they don't leave because they need obvious jokes explained to them.

    No - they leave because you are confusing.

    So why the 'woosh'?

    Let me explain this one as well...because you didn't get my pun about gambling :roll:

    Oh no; you're back.

    Had you originally written 'woosh' next to the comment to which you were referring to... :roll:

    But being a lazy basket, you didn't bother doing any deleting, hence the confusion. In HR, the best advertisement for a job is one that states the good and the bad aspects of a job. Therefore, I have decided that I will write the wording for your next minion advert.
    It will go along these lines:

    Good European and global progression opportunities, above market rate remuneration, paid annual leave, pension... However, the successful candidate will have to put up with a hairy 4rse Northerner who cannot communicate for toffee and likes to strut around like a prize Cockerel.
    (and let him win chucking the paper ball in the basket or you will ruffle his well preened feathers).

    I'll stick that in the job ad and see how many applications we get :)
