  1. Well as 24 hours had passed since my Heaven Can Wait was posted I wasn't sure whether you had researched it........But if you didn't ATTABOY... it was a dead end for me! For Winchester 73... James Stewart.
  2. Every supermarket has them... BigC, Carrefour, Tesco. They are rechargeable.However tempting it might seem, do not put your tongue on the wires....
  3. Just because there is now a train available?Taxis didn't take too long before. As to the last sentence......yes, good one! When do they plan to extend it all the way to Pattaya? Then it can join the wonderful monorail planned for here.
  4. Shelley Winters
  5. Good vacation schedule you have, I had 3/year but fewer total days (55+local holidays). The End-of-service payment is of course standard under Saudi labour law, and my departure from the Kingdom gave me a big cheque. My last posting was Riyadh, I hated the place!
  6. Ten years left of it......
  7. Like in Catelonia....
  8. I did KSA for a good while. all over the Kingdom.I hope the money is good! I always travelled back to HQ in Dammam prior to R&R, the office kept our passports when in the kingdom.
  9. I think your question has been left unanswered so I will give it a go (since I am a mossie neurotic.. ) A zapper is a plug-in violet lamp inside a grid of metal rods with a high voltage across them. The little devil is attracted to the light, and causes a short between the rods and is killed. The one I have doesn't give off an electric spark so doesn't disturb you in the night, but I also have some tennis bat like devices which use a much higher voltage and you sweep around and get a very satisfying zap when you hit one. Great fun!
  10. That seems harsh....Run a good place, have plenty of pretty girls and reputation will build.
  11. It would seem fair that 24 hours from the OP would be ok? I can't think of anybody else who was in it.....
  12. Yes £100 was my first though but then I considered smaller places.My commiserations on the location.....Tabuk?
  13. I did say the original, can't some guys read? Heaven Can Wait 1943
  14. Going back a long long time, the original.... Heaven Can Wait
  15. Not much chance of that.....LOL.By that time I had grown weary and couldn't face pushing my way through the crowds. I was left with the handbag and my back against a coconut tree sucking on a can of Leo. I could see fine from there, fortunately being 6 inches taller than most of the crowd.
  16. You did fine.....
  17. Well obviously so did I....... but avoiding 007 this time.... The Tailor of Panama
  18. Only if, like the midget on a high floor, they can get someone to push the button for them!
  19. Are you considering lazing around all night in the airport?At £477 it would only be a good deal if transport and hotel were included, it could be £50+ for a room.
  20. Tomorrow Never Dies
  21. Well she did okay..... but certainly no tripod, just holding the camera up in the air above her head like the rest of them!
  22. I just think they are everywhere, just easier to spot in the hong-nam with the white/ tiled walls.I spray my bedroom every night, but I believe they hide in the toilet and get back into the bedroom when I have my 3am pee. Sneaky little buggers!
  23. Blimey, lucky my credit card details aren't in there........ She was lucky, she didn't even try to use the special nightime or 'fireworks' options! Mind you, there were cameras all around with the flash being utilized.......
  24. Atrocious road right now....I'll take the truck next time, need to find a dentist.
  25. The Talented Mr Ripley
