Will you be participating, sly? I'm sure there's many people who want to paintball you so the tournament should be a big success!Â

Dear Julien,
I tried to start a new thread (topic), but I couldn't. How do u do that? As I'm relocating to Riyadh soon, I'd like to ask the members about how I can find a 2-3 bedroom apartment for rent near the several compounds present in Northern Riyadh (i.e. Othman Bin Affan Road). Can you help post this query please? Thanks.
