Two Essentials for Happiness by SeymourSunshine
Before I came here I made a posting asking for what essentials I should bring with me. Some people made useful suggestions, but not ones that I wished to take up. You can keep your TV and PlayStation. Even a laptop is quite superfluous. But there ...
Or have I missed something along the way?You forgot to laughWrong again, Mo. I'm laughing, but with exasperation! I'd hoped to generate a bit of humour, but all it got was more of the same high-energy carping. But that's life in the dull lane, I ... Read More

shorts & sockets by p4tr1k
Dear All, I am writing to inquire about the wearing of shorts in Jeddah: where and when is this permitted so as not to cause offense? Travelling with UK electrical equipment (3 pin plugs) what are the socket standards used in Jeddah? Many thanks ...
