Firstly, before moving to Riyadh (about a year ago now), I used this forum for some much needed information and advice. A big thank you to all you British Expat Forum guys who supplied this.
Now, having finally settled down to life in Kingdom, I thought I might be able to repay the good advice with some (not so good) advice of my own. The first year was hectic with much to take in and learn, but I have now adopted the jaundiced, blase attitude of many of the Riyadh Expats and feel perfectly at home. Having done a little work in Dubai and Bahrain I now regard myself as a seasoned Expat veteran ready to comment and give out ill-informed advice on anything I don't understand. Which is a lot.
More rubbish coming soon...

Thanks.

I for one am particularly looking forward to ignoring you.............

Could you recommend a moving company? I need to move some personal stuff from NY to Riyadh. Thanks.

Is that pronounced "Loofah"? Look forward to reading your future posts.

Have a blessed day

What name did you go by then please?...before you were the sponge

Thank you very much for your touching and kind comments. I could not have wished for a warmer and more welcoming introduction to BE forum life (dabs at his eyes with crumpled handherchief..)
