just another two posts to go and you can (I can't email you as I don't know your email address, but don't post it on here)

How about going on to the Sandpit and posting on a couple of stories there - "which song reflects your mood at the moment" is a good one to start with

I need an IT guru to load a new operating system on to my laptop for me and also hopefully tell me where I can buy Windows 7. Does anyone know of a good trusted IT person in Al Ain.

Thks

Depends on the quality you want - for machine made Carrefoure is the cheapest - and they aren't bad, otherwise try Homes r us. For genuine Afghans etc you need to try Shah Khan ( ad in Niala/ Abella) or go to the Blue Souk in Sharjah for the best value ones!! Remember to bargain!! Shammy!

So finally here I am in Al Ain, spent two weeks living at the intercon which was nice...but expensive. Found a villa which I'm sharing with another girl but been told we were properly ripped off. Its kinda nice though, 4 beds and a patch of um garden desert ha ha...its in Markhaniya close to the airport. Now to buy furniture, going to check out ikea for better prices than the mall/homesRus stuff. then of course curtains for the ridiculously odd sized windows.

Hoping to get a chance to pop in at the Rugby club and meet some people

Oh and I need to buy a car...choices seem limited???

Hope to meet some of you!

Just contacting a very very reliable lovely young man who worked for Rich in al Ain to ask him if its okay for you to contact him which I know it will be but just being polite and then you could ring him, arrange to meet and he will make sure you get your programmes all loaded up
