Hi Don,

Welcome to BE. I hope you enjoy being part of our community. We've got a vibrant Middle East forum with lots of different characters in, so I'm sure you will fit in well

We've just had another remember join who is in Afghanistan, I think he is heading to Qatar: http://britishexpats.com/forum/showthread.php?t=730102

Hi Don...welcome to BE.

I see Sue has given you the link to the Middle East forums...I'm sure you'll love being part of the forums. There is also an Introduction thread in the Sand Pit...why don't you pop over there and introduce yourself? The members who live in Dubai quite often have meet-ups...so there's your chance to meet some fellow expats and have a few bevvies.

If you find yourself a little lost navigating the many BE forums...we have a team of concierges who will direct you around the website. The concierge for the Middle East forums is Blue Cat...please contact her if you need any help.

If you have any problems or concerns please contact a moderator. The mods for the ME forums are Bob, NorthernLad and rowell.

Please shout out if you need any help...there's usually someone around 24/7 to help out.

Hello Don,

Been to Newie a few times myself. Yours sounds an interesting life. Sue and Jerseygirl seem to have you sorted for contacts and links, so I'll just bid you welcome from Ontario, Canada.

Best,

Hi Don

I can almost see you salivating for that first cool beer !
I see the other folks here have put you in touch with the Middle East forum, where I am sure you will find some good folks to chat to as well as some beer buddies.
That just leaves me to say welcome to BE, Good luck with your move, don't forget your suntan lotion and ENJOY THAT FIRST COOL BEER !!
