Chris, i'm pleased for you that you live around locals. I've only ever spoken to about half a dozen in 12 months here, not including airport security / passport types!

Cheers, I work with quite a few locals as well. I'm thinking of taking Arabic lessons and then I could actually understand what they are saying! Though I might not want to know - they could be calling me all sorts :ohmy: lol

Chris and SYB, thanks for all your help. We have a lot of thinking to do. I am certain that I am going to have an offer in a couple of weeks time and then we must make a decision. As I said earlier we will come out to AD before I sign. When we do i will let you know so we can have those beers. So long as you have a licence!!!

Thanks for yours and SYB help.

Kind regards

Sometimes its better not to understand Arabic.
I work with Egyptians and am quite happy not understanding what they shout at each other

I've heard & read a few times that the Semitic languages do not contain "curse words"... but never really had it on good authority. Always wondered if it was true.

There is good diving on the East Coast (or was before the oil slick last week). Never been in AD - people tell me it isn't that great (very shallow in the Arabian Gulf). Weescott has been diving in AD - she could advise you.
