You could take up sodomy as a hobby.

The best still I've seen was made with the copper tubing from an old wall-banger air conditioner.

Mr bb says they used to use old car radiators as a "condenser" (?) in his days in Kuwait :p

It's the same thinking - the air con set up I admired was in Kuwait, so seemingly a popular way of dealing with deadly dull fridays.http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Copper-Alc...item43c7c48961

A bit like this gem off eBay...

There's always a 'family day' at one of the embassies tomorrow. I'm always up for face painting!

Or should that be "off your face" painting?:)

I expected that at first given which embassy it is holding the event, and was hoping the "family" part of the event meant "something for all the family", but sadly I think it'll be as frustrating close, yet far as the amount of attention the customs guy gave to to several packs of Schweppes Ginger Ale I brought back from the UAE last trip.

A lot of negativity here about Riyadh. Once you get to know a group of people it's actually a pretty good place. Pool parties, BBQs, good for kids etc. If you sit at home telling yourself how crap it is it's not going to get better anytime soon. Got to put yourself out and about and get to know people.
