OT paging Loz and Cab

I would love to go skiing but the colder it is the more I creak. I
suppose there must be some skiing equivilent of heated leathers?

 

Layers. And those crinkly little bags of heating stuff. But, to be
honest, when it goes below -30 only insanity helps.

 

Forgive me for interrupting Nina, but may I suggest that you try the
Club Med option. Expensive or affordable according to your particular
requirements. The kids are looked after very well (in fact, you won't
see them as they get carted off to go rock climbing, swimming,
shooting arrows at innocent targets etc, directly after breakfast and
are delivered back at bed-time).
If you are traveling sans partner and are so inclined, you may have
all your pink bits licked tenderly and attentively on a regular basis
by willing and attractive consorts. Nightclubs, bars and restaurants
abound as do local attractions without the attendant need to have to
deal too closely with the natives, unless of course you wish to do
so.

I have been to 5 or 6 different ones at various times.

One of the more attractive features to English women is the almost
total absence of English men. This of course guarantees that the
ladies are treated exquisitely and don't have to put up with the
sometimes boorish and loutish behavior that typifies the breed. A
change is as good as a holiday, so I am told.

This one is a more cost effective option

and this one is quite exotic and erotic.

Hope this helps.

 

Ginge bored us all completely to death with wittery prose along the
lines of:

Go to Saudi and say you're Athiest.

Apparently the only thing they hate more than Jews, are Athiests.

 

sweller bored us all completely to death with wittery prose along the
lines of:

If we talk about (predominantly) Muslim/Eastern Arabic[0] countries:

Dubai is a popular holiday resort. It's also a country that stinks of
money. Fairly decent beaches and prostitutes [1] galore.

The Lebanon and Jordan are interesting places to go to. Good skiing in
the Lebanon too.

Kuwait doesn't have too much to see.

Saudi has some stuff to see, but you can't go there on holiday
(Business or Religious purposes only [2])

Egypt is okay, but stay away from Cairo, unless you want to see the
Pyramids. Very cheap too.

Turkey is nice, but stay away from Istanbul, as there's nothing much
there, apart from the Blue Mosque.

Syria is worth a visit apparently.

The others like Bahrain and Qatar, Mr Blaney can tell you about.
Apparently Bahrain is getting to be a bit risky.

I've probably forgotten one or two places, but these are the ones I've
been too (apart from Syria). Overall though, I love travelling to the
ME. I (eventually) want to go to Iraq (in a few years time, maybe) and
Iran (although they're not, strictly speaking, Arabs). Oh, and I'd like
to go to Syria. I just won't go to Israel.

[0] Not Tunisia/Algeria/Morroco
[1] You can actually go to some places, where the only women that
*aren't* prostitutes, are those working behind the bar. Even then, it's
open to debate...
[2] Although I have heard something about them opening up tourism

 

Interrupt away 3 headed one.

I've never fancied these, bit too 'you will have fun'. Anything that
has staff dedicated to being jolly makes me shudder.

Each other? Actually this sounds better.

Champ's going?

Not an attraction.

I like to wander, buy breakfast each day from the baker, get fish for
lunch straight from the harbour then settle down in the warm to swim
and read.

Did they make you do karaoke?

heh.

Neither of the urls would work.

I'll send the kids to club med and go somewhere else...

 

I'm going to be at Le Meridien Beach Resort and Spa, Dubai for
Christmas. You're more than welcome.

 

China.

 

It's got a Symphony Orchestra. Which, strictly speaking, is something
to hear, rather than something to listen to.

Even then, it's a right **** to get a visa. I'm trying to get three
blokes in there at the moment, and it's driving me up the fucking
wall.

My brother went. Loved it.

Qatar is cool. A bit small, but v. hedonistic.

US and UK travel advisories against.

I may be going soon.

 

Bummer. Keep your head close, eh?

 

Ben Blaney bored us all completely to death with wittery prose along
the lines of:

Fscking expensive for the visa too. I paid around $US100 the last time
for the privilege.

I know. :-/

Soon? Are you sure that's wise? The companies I work with in Jordan and
Kuwait won't send their people there. Not even their Arab employees.

 

I'll be getting a U.S. Military flight, not commercial, and not a
convoy.

 

Ben Blaney bored us all completely to death with wittery prose along
the lines of:

They'll probably shoot themselves down...

 

I'm trying not to think about that.

 

Think about the risks of travelling with armed merkins. You get turbulent
air over the desert, and if you hit a big enough bump on the descent for
Baghdad, and they think they're being attacked, it'll be frantic cries of
"Hut! Hut! Hut!" and wildly machine-gunning the inside of the fuselage...

 

Oh yes - you can't beat Spain for a bit of nice sunshine over Xmas.
