You'll like Reem 1 - there is a landrover grave-yard there. The poor guy has his three landovers sitting over baking trays each weekend collecting various liquids - I have my jap-babies prouding sitting there waiting the next battle.

All a bit bizarre as were in the final stages of negotiation for Al Reem 1 but one came up on Alma and we managed to get the contract sorted in one day. So now I can look up to Saheel but look down on Reem. I still know my place

Mrs Tock has said no more Landrovers. I put my request in for an Expedition again as the company bus and will rent something for the Mrs for a couple of months to refresh the bank account and then go hunting. I am surprised Shiva hasn't tried to flog me his old Disco. I love Discos so its probably just as well. I have seen a ruck of 110 Defenders on the Ranches and of course my favourite Rangeys but I cant spend every month in the repair shop anymore. A nice series 3 to play with would be fun

GB1982 is an unknown quantity at this point

To be fair there is already a school that is occupied on the same plot as the GEMS school in question. the Road is direct from Marabea street over AL khail and straight in.

There are going to be a further 2 schools that will open this year.

unfortunately looking from AL Khail you are looking across the total plot, however the phase of the school that will open will be fully complete come opening date!

It's got second floor walls....well, it's got some....not all.

I'm now happy to refine my expectations and say it's 50:50 to be finished on time...

I can't see that happening somehow.
