Apologies for (only just) hijacking the thread, but could you please clarify why you can't go home due to tax? Is there a rule as such?

I have an offer to move to Dubai and doing my homework regarding life there. Cheers.

Find a card game, go out to the track, hang out at the golf club, play chess down at the beach, or get an X-Box, whatever! Anythings better than working. It never ceases to amaze me how people get so attached to their mind numbing, life sucking, meaningless, soul crushing jobs.


You remind me of Major Anthony Nelson from the I dream of Jeanie show..You got the greatest situation in the world and you do nothing with it.

No it's not. Some ppl who don't have six kids and a spouse like their work.
I am glad you like keeping your hand in at little things.
