Few I know in Abu Dhabi are worrying about the receding goose down rating. Not as fluffy as before but they can still sleep well at night.

Let's face it. In reality nobody on this bored actually matters in the world.

If 'Joe Bloggs' disappeared from their massively self important role in XYZ Construction/Oil/Finance/Whatever company then the world will continue spinning, the job will still get done and nobody will notice.

I'm only important in the respect that I'm too good looking to die. No other reason.

I think he made a good point - when someone else pays for all that stuff, why would someone bitch about them?

I wouldn't brag about something like that. It's normal. I simply wouldn't live here if i had to take care of the things I mentioned. My company wouldn't pay for my maid though... tight bastards

What's the difference between getting Xk + house + car + flights + medical + bills + petrol + toilet roll etc provided for you and getting the same amount in cash?

Nothing. If you can't take care of where you want your family to live yourself then you need a ****ing reality check, try reading my earlier post again.
