Re: Egypt
 

Yep Ill second that,has you will know then we joined the cruise at Luxor,my other half loved it,he really surprised me when he said he could live there,I felt like a right burk because we visited the market in Luxor and I ended up in tears on the pavement when I saw a poor donkey working,pulling a load far too heavy for him :frown: I think they dont treat the animals very well at all.I dont think I better go down that road again.Well off to watch corrie.Bye have a nice time.:thumbsup:

Egypt look out :rofl:

Re: Egypt
 

:D For those who have never had a shave in Egypt they get a regular length of cotton and put one end in their teeth and then hold onto the other end and then run the cotton back and forwards over your face. The cotton twists and in twisting it rips all your facial hair out :eek: We went in and sat next to each other, unsuspecting, trusting tourists, and then when they started doing this all you could here was arggg fu**inell and stuff. It took about 30 minutes to clear all facial hair right up to the scalp. The forehead was the worst cos we was sunburned anyway. It was sooo funny though I almost weed through laughing and pain cos I had told Derbyflan it was relaxing. We were in the chair saying "this has got something to do with the Iraq war it has to" it was that painful. We walked out like shiny beacons and in shock :blink: Still earlier in the year I was in Turkey and had a shave and the bloke set fire to my ears, the missus was wetting herself and theres this barber saying "Shish Kebab" and laughing and I can smell burning flesh. One way of getting rid of the hair I guess though I could have done that myself and saved a few bob :p

No guts to do it again Derbyflan I will if you will :thumbsup:

Re: Egypt
 

LOL.

Re: Egypt
 

Ah! bo!!ock$ go on then!:unsure:

We'll have to have a few 'looseners' :beer: first though - you bl**dy Masochist;)

And you know that this time - both of the Mrs want to watch. I'm sure mine only wants to see me suffer for all the years we've been married:(

Re: Egypt
 

I would pay to see that - my hubby says he would pay to see them pull out the hairs in the palm of your hands (the first sign of madness) :rofl:

Re: Egypt
 

Me and my muckker Smarties will raise a glass or seventeen to those of you selling up, pulling out, living in Spain and/or just thinking about it when we meet on the sun terrace in Luxor tomorrow night.

Yippppeeeeee:eek:

I will second that me old china :thumbup: :beer: :beer: :beer:

See ya soon, its only 35 degrees :thumbsup:

Re: Egypt
 

So, we're back!

So good to spend some time with my best mate. A bit low-key this time; probably due to the expensive drinks and the fact that we're getting older:( Plenty of food, sun and good company. Days spent relaxing by the pool discussing relocating overseas and having a laugh etc.

So depressing coming home even though it'll only be for 2 more years before I leave here for good. Just can't wait. Start a new job on Monday which I'm not in the least bit interested in. I'm going to have to commute around the M25 and M3:mad: but it's a means to an end I suppose.

Hope everyone's well and your house sales are going through, plans are coming to fruition and your all moving closer to fulfilling that dream. And for those of you who've already made the move - you'll know that as soon as you get back into the depressing, grey UK that you did the right thing.

Re: Egypt
 

Great to hear that you had a good time.

You asked about the siesta thread and I know you will get answered by the person that you asked but it is about us all talking about non-spanish things so I guess your trip will be moved there.

Re: Egypt
 

No worries Rosemary.

At least I'll be moving somewhere even if it is just to another thread:)

Re: Egypt
 

Hi Derbyflan,welcome back,good luck with the new job on Monday,I dont envy you having to face the M25 though :eek: :eek:

Re: Egypt
 

Hmmm! Leave home at 6.15, start work at 8. Leave work at 5. Get home at Oh My God'o'clock:curse:

Re: Egypt
 

Jeeeez thats tough :eek: my O/H works long hours,but at least it only takes ten minutes to get there.Oh and you will be traveling in the rush hour,yer can be sat an age on the M25 and not move,has you will know,get a camp bed at the office :eek:

Re: Egypt
 

Hi you two, welcome back! Glad you enjoyed yourselves. :D Good luck with the new job Monday, :thumbsup: know what you mean about no interest. :blink: But just a temporary annoyance that will hopefully pass quickly. And I agree with Jean about the M25, and anyone else that has to use it on a regular basis! ;)
