Newbies....Introduce yourselves to the ME crowd
 
Just thought it would be nice for newbies to go introduce yourselves to folks here before diving in and asking questions, especially if you've not taken the time to check out the wiki or had a quick search for those common questions, spending a bit of time doing that goes a long way into getting help from folks without the shirty comments, it's the least you can do if you expect people to answer everything for you :)

So where are you from?
Got any kids?
Hobbies?
Whatever else :)

Oh and don't forget, different time zones and the weekend isn't Sat/Sun, so don't get shirty if you don't get a reply straight away :)

Forigive my ignorance (as I've never been to your quiz night - I believe it takes place in an Australian bar.........), but why do you need "organising skills"?

Surely you don't actually organise the quiz itself? You just turn up and take part - right?

If I'm missing the point, just give me a slap and I'll get me coat......

Yours truly,

Hi all,

Just arrived in Al Ain and looking for a bridge club and some tutoring work. My wife has a job here so I am a house husband who is getting fed up with the cleaning!! Can tutor in maths and science. Any information welcome. Sorry if I offend anyone with my ignorance at forums but this is a first registration for me.

Thanks

Bridgemad

Oops..forgot to forego the formalities and introduce myself here on the newbies thread before jumping to the swingers thread and offering to buy a yacht to meet new friends.. Hello :) I'm Melanie..a quite bored as hell villawife in the near future who has skills but refused to take a job offered to me at the hospital there simply because i'm coming to the UAE to play, not work while my husband wreaks the advantages of taking employment to avoid paying US taxes. I don't know much about trivia or quizzes because i quite often become too engaged in conversation and great drinks to keep up with the question at the time or looking at all the eye candy in front of me. My husband Mike, is a conservative but slowly driven out of his shell by entertaining, intelligent and often attractive women ( hence the reason he married me of course) and we often have time for activities that don't include cleaning house, paying bills and love to meet new friends. He is not as fun as I am but I like bringing him along to pay the bill at the end of the night and being the great wife I am, I am always home and cooking dinner and bowing down to him the day the mortgage is due :) Hope to meet all of you as soon as I can get out of the states ( yes i'm running from the federalies) and live the life of pure non millionaire lifestyle. I will be running an ad for a sheike as soon as I learn to correctly spell that word, looking for a sugar daddy :) If you believe all that we will never meet. If you want to just hang out and beat me at quizzes or trivia, the first round is on me :)

Can't you tell ? it would definitely be the wife.. i guess i should have changed my name to PilotsSassyWife. He wouldn't know Sass if it bit him in the ass. He is just my sweet conservative flyboy however he can be very witty at times. So which way does your bat swing ?
