Within the first three months, the toilet became blocked four times. And I don't use that much paper. :(

I must stress I don't really pay attention to punctuation when texting or typing on forums or FB however if I was making a sign for the general public to feast their eyes upon on I would make sure it was right. (take note I have used only one full stop in that epic ramble)
I type the way I talk - lots and without a care for pausing or stopping in the right places.;) |

That's it the fast is on.... every time I think about eating something terribly unhealthy I'm going to think of those "big,big jobs.":sick: |
Re: Misuse of the apostrophe.
As for 'the hose' that must be another thing that I'm going to have to get used to in Dubai! I can wait to be introduced to that.

It's a bracketing comma so is perfectly legal. It's linked to the second comma after trade.

But please elaborate on the 'hose'.... in Scotland that terminology refers to how you are on the pan after eating something particularly dodgy. Also can be known as 'the power hose'

Looking forward to it very much (Dubai that is - not the hose!!) |

Yes, that's right. I fly out to Dubai two weeks today. Thanks for the insight Meow :-)
Looking forward to it very much (Dubai that is - not the hose!!) You'll have to come along to the next BE drinks. That's assuming we can cope with the sight of each other yet again! |

You'd think that people were obsessed by the cleanliness of certain parts as most bathromms have both a shataf and a bidet. OCD??

Great for getting the sand off your feet without it ending up all over the bath. |

When it got blocked the first time, I saw how narrow the outlet was. It's easily a third the size of a UK-style loo. The building's plumber told me to use the hose only. I told him to **** off, and that paper is far more hygienic than just the hose. |
