Patf Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I was awake early this morning too, as Eddie was hoping to get on an early plane back to the UK. He made it! Tomorrow I can have a lie-in. [:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mint Posted January 12, 2009 Author Share Posted January 12, 2009 Yes, and some of us are in the Middle East and are hours earlier than Central European Time and others of us are in the Far East and are GMT plus 7 hours. LOL!At least you're in the right place as far as weather goes. Here in the southern Charente, it's freezing fog all day and signs asking you to be prudent on the motorways.

Thats why I said 07.59 French time. eg its 21.01 for me now.Weather wise, it was cold today (I mean cold) and it rained. Its winter here too. Go to work in the dark, come home in the dark.

mint Posted January 12, 2009 Author Share Posted January 12, 2009 Well then, leave that horrid place and come home to a real fire (err...petrole heater) in France! Simple, really, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnOther Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I've usually done a couple of hours work by that time sweets, at home or offshore, and I rarely go to bed before midnight either [:D]How's the avatar now, to your liking !!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mint Posted January 12, 2009 Author Share Posted January 12, 2009 Yes, I'd even consider sitting in it.........Why do you keep changing your avatar? What have you done wrong? Are the Secret Service people after you?Can you not call on the help of the French Security people to protect you?Or, have you broken some tax law by getting involved in dodgey Off Shore operations (like oil rigs) and not declaring the interest to the impots?

mint Posted January 12, 2009 Author Share Posted January 12, 2009 Dear Cendrillon, I was only up because I had to!Mind you, I quite liked it once I was up and about. Then I walked the dog in the woods behind our house and it was beautiful, all foggy and mysterious and with snow left over from last week's snow storm in the sheltered areas.If I could persuade my poor frozen body to leave my warm(ish) bed tomorrow morning, I might do it again!

Simple, really, isn't it?[/quote]I would but, its not the money of course, I feel I must put my personal suffering aside in the interests of all those poor Emiratis who are desperate for good clean drinking water, who's children have such pathetic looks on their poor grubby pinched faces when they are really dieing from thirst and scrabbling around in foetid pools risking disease or worse...Ok, enough of the bulls**t, .........Its the money [:P] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mint Posted January 12, 2009 Author Share Posted January 12, 2009 What, only the filthy lucre? Wish I could get hold of some of the stuff myself!"Emiratis"? Hope that's not a banned term like the "P" and the "N" word because otherwise you're in it big time. If in doubt just read about Prince Harry and his errr..............slip of the tongue.

powerdesal Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Strange isn't it, the papers here regularly use the diminutive for Pakistan even in headlines, and no-one seems to mind at all. Perhaps they are not 'PC' enough......yet.Emirati is the approved term, there are others that are used, between consenting adults in private of course [:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
