Re: Your user ID
the joke is told much better in an irish accent after a couple of pints
but ill try
honey competition
english beekeeper
250,000 bees, 20 hives, perfect honey, told his bees are well managed
scot beekeeper
200,000 bees, 15 hives, good honey, told his bees are ok managed
irish beekeeper
1 million bees, 1 hive, ok honey, told his bees are not well-managed at all
replies : **** em, they are only bees!
i.e. someone who gets his job done one way or another
it used to be a code word for us at work that when work needs done or you have to look after some people, irish beekeeper means **** it or them, just get it done
(i knew it wouldnt sound that funny when i told it lol)

Re: Your user ID
When we first arrived wide eyed and innocent so many of the experiences were so new / fantastic / enlightening (e.g first time at the beach, driving to work in the sunshine every day, a swimming pool outside the backdoor, visiting Jumeirah mosque, gold souk and on and on) that my wife and I spent a lot of time grinning inanely at each other and saying "We live here!!"
When i joined BE a couple of weeks later a lack of creativity led to the brain fart of using it as a username and I'm just too lazy to do anything about it now.....

Anyone who has read The Hitch Hiker's Guide To The Galaxy will recognise my user name. It was a slightly bittersweet name, as I was drying out at the time...
