Bognie closed now and New Inn under new ownership. We usually went to commercial which is also under new ownership and serving super meals. What did you play?

Re: Newbies....Introduce yourselves to the ME crowd
Just thought it would be nice for newbies to go introduce yourselves to folks here before diving in and asking questions, especially if you've not taken the time to check out the wiki or had a quick search for those common questions, spending a bit of time doing that goes a long way into getting help from folks without the shirty comments, it's the least you can do if you expect people to answer everything for you
So where are you from?
Got any kids?
Hobbies?
Whatever else
Oh and don't forget, different time zones and the weekend isn't Sat/Sun, so don't get shirty if you don't get a reply straight away

Have been a viewer for the past coupple of weeks so as I have nothing better to do at work this afternoon thought I should join and say hello.
Have been in Dubai since 18th April this year, so I am very wet between the ears but am really enjoying the lifestyle so far, didn't know what to expect so came with an open mind...the only thing that annoys me so far is the taxi drivers, but my visa is due any day so going to get my driving licence asap after that!
Come from Gloucestershire originally and this is my first time working abroad so all a big adventure at the moment.
Will try not to ask any stupid questions that have been posted a million times, but no promises of course.

Please feel free to ask stupid questions that have been asked a thousand times before, it gives us someone to pick on. Then again, as you're from Gloucestersestersestershire, we don't need any other reason.
