Martin,

I've just bought a set of alloy wheels from some block in Aberdeen who said he was cleaning them for a guy in Kuwait - is that you ? I though £50 quid was a lot, but he managed to squeeze another tenner out of me.

Are you not getting mixed up with camels? :clown:

How long have you to be there for Martin? All that hotness :p when we have too much coldness :disapprove: and all that muck on the roads - poor Eck just needs to peek out the driveway and he gets his wee nose dirty though I dont suppose it's any worse than getting it all dusty.
Does this mean you'll miss the party at yoor hoos on Friday?
I think allowing your car to be stripped down with all proceedings going to Julz' charity is a magnificent gesture. You're a star!

Hey Martin!

Looks like you just missed Ramadan - shame 4 u, would have been a cruisy working month.

I could only last 1 week due to the prohabition on alchole - mmmm....just going to crack open another coldie!! ;)

I can recommend the Ritz Beiteddin for top Arabic cuisine - or at leat it was back in '98.

Be careful and stay safe! :)Tell Cazza she should still join us on 16th for Aberdeen nigh out :)

Cheers
Nenah

Better watch sleepy or you might end up with Big Col as he's a bit of a giraffe;) Nothing to do with his height though. No its because he splays his legs when he's drinking :p:D:approve:

Yeah Ramadan is just finished - wouldnt have made much difference to me, as there are very few Kuwaitis on site.

I can get alcohol here if I want it - there is a "bar" on site, selling local "home brew" - two yanks have been off for 5 days so far after drinking it , think I will give it a miss :D

I will ask my indian driver about the Ritz Beiteddin - see if it is still any good. I'll bring you something nice back :D

Never got sleepy a giraffe - sorry mate.

On the last day had to fill up my thirsty 4x4 with twin 50 litre tanks, I put almost a full 100 litres in it and guess how much it cost????







£14 - couldnt believe it!
