No Kids. Leaving bloke here.

Hobbies wise, trying to lose weight so not quite a gym bunny but enjoy aquafit and spinning. Reading.

Have some knowledge that may be helpful in pub quizzes but not that great.
Loosing weight in UAE, good luck This is a mini Texas city here FYI.

But welcome to the BE ME.

Haven't worked in the ME for about 5 years. Recently finished a project in Lagos Nigeria. Already finding the forum a mine of information.

Catch up with you all later.
Welcome to the BE ME

Ah right...

Introduce yourself THEN start posting on the forums

I think I may have gotten it a bit erse for elbow.

Anyway, old Kevin is still in the UK but has just received an offer of employment in Doha and all being well should be there in 2-3 weeks. I don't know anybody who works in the ME at all let alone Qatar and I will be on my ownio, but judging by the majority of the posts I've read on BE forum it's going to be errm interesting.

This forum is brilliant, informative and funny, and I'm sure if you want to know any more you'll ask me, or alternatively make up your own mind first and then tell me...

All the best!!

Nearest approximation would be XL I guess. Ok not that big, but perfectly formed, sturdy and exceptionally reliable. Imho of course
