Thanks, BC and S.U.

As I alluded to last week, I'm working on a return to the Middle East anyway. The only annoying thing is the way the company here have unceremoniously dumped me.

*sigh*

seriously, ok, mantronic, we get it. here, take this as the 'recognition' you're so desperately (and pathetically) in need of, about how you know so much about the middle east based on f'all experience, that you told us, that you're the best, that you're the smartest, blah blah blah. now f**k off already, would you? ...tw@t

They binned me over a health issue. But they are asking me to stay for 2 weeks to do a handover. I could be getting things lined up, and I rather would.

Well we didn't get canned today but sadly 40 others did. Don't know the all the details yet.

We were sure we were off.

Lets hope things pick up soon for everyone.

LOL

Little Jimmy if I hear of anything I'll let you know - we in the same line of business.

Hey there mister,

just catching up with what is going on and this thread was meant for helping those in need. Its out of order for you to come on here and pretty much take the p!ss out of those who have been in the country years longer than you were who set up lives and friends here. You dont know anything about the situation of the members here and you dont seemed to have bothered your backside to get to know anyone - that is up to you, your loss really.

Other than the one company you claimed screwed you over (but didnt because you never actually took a job there?!) what do you know about Dubai, what are the positives to it?

If you have none you obviously didnt spend anytime here!

Aus or not everywhere has a sh!t side and money is not everything.....
