Default Joining you all in Riyadh in January

Ladies and gents it gives me great pleasure to announce that Homersthirdnipple will be among you good people in Riyadh after accepting a proposal from a Riyadh based company to join their staff for the next 2 years.
Hope to survive the experience and go back to my beloved Newcastle a richer man.
My leaving party will be at St James Park NUFC V Swansea where I am being made to wear the full Arab regalia throughout the day.
Excited yet filled with fear, eager to get out but missing home already, looking forward but dread the day I have to leave.
Its gonna be a blast.

See you soon

Same as Nissan then!! just completed a years contract on the new Leaf Battery Plant, all the Nissan engineers involved in the project are of the red and white persuasion and make life difficult for their black and white subcontractors. Mind they have been a bit quiet of late, wonder why.
So Saudi,s Nissan, nee difference!!!

Not sure where I am staying yet , but my company are sorting this out and I am assured by the business developement manager that the accommodation is very good and has good facilities.
As for the Toon V Swans, it would be typical of the Toon to send me off with a defeat, they have dissapointed me for numerous years now so why change!!
