My husband was offered a job out in Abu Dhabi, and we are looking into the ins and outs before we commit or decline it. He has also applied for another better paid one as well. After reading alot of posts here, its made my husband and I like the idea of relocating out there. So I am really keeping my fingers crossed that he gets it. Wish us luck! :D

GAB :roll: PMSL :lol: Of course that's what happens when us old folk get into a laughing fit! :lol: lochness PMSL, Gab stop it, I just turned the office floor into a pool. :wink: I'd take a Grange 68 over a 2003 Cab Merlot any day. We just get finer with our numerical expansion. :D GAB ...................and more high maintenance!! :lol: Kitty
I also provide plenty for him & the family, and in fact until we had our latest addition to the family, I brought in more than him! But mentioning such things does seem to dent the male pride! :lol:
He is my partner, but he also knows his place, as all men should! :wink: :D :wink: Kitty
LOL Lochness! :lol: :lol: Too true!
Thanks for the welcome arniegang Locky Platinum Amex phutttttttttttttt! for poor peeps Me got a "Black" Amex Card :D :D GAB Nothing like being a secondary card holder......fully responsible for all the spending but not legally responsible for the payments! :) We girlz have it sussed! :lol: lochness Arnie dddaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrllllllllllingggg, black is so out, platinum it the new black, but I will forgive you because you are a boy and know not the slightest thing about fashion, also platinum goes with everything and it shines 'real pretty' and reminds me of all my diamonds :lol: lochness And I forgot, Gab has hit the nail on the head, spend on 'pretties' and then the hubfairy pays, oh what a glorious world :lol: :D :lol: :D :lol: :D
GAB
Don't know about that one lochness....that is a little Brokeback Mountainish!! :lol: arniegang Locky Do you know what an Amex Black Card is?? We are talking serious "wallet" fashion here :lol: :D :D For general info - Amex Black is an "invitataion only" CC. This is because it is the only credit card with NO CREDIT LIMIT. Everyone else just has to make do with Gold and Platinum 8) 8) GAB Visa is accepted in more places all over the world!! :P lochness arnie, you do me an injustice. Do I know what a black is? :wink: Of course, after I made one of the largest feaux pas (sorry about the spelling) of my life, and asked a customer of mine what other pretty colours they came in, she had a black (I wanted a pink one) and she said that she was not sure and I said that I thought it was a fabulous idea that they were bringing out coloured cards as accessories. Phoned AMEX after she had left and was promptly told that she could have purchased the entire bloody block I was working on and that only one man in Australia was even allowed to have one and now much to my dismay he is dead (KP) and so now I would gather, that no Aussie has one. Thank heavens she had a fabulous sense of humour and thought I was hilarious :oops: Oh and Gab 'hubfairy" is the kind of like the tooth fairy, you know the tooth goes missing and there is money in its place, well that happens to my credit card, money goes missing and then is mysteriously reappears again so I can spend it again, I like to call him the 'hubfairy' :D arniegang pink one :shock: locky you are just too girlie :lol: :lol: :lol: GAB Do they come in chenille? :) lochness Unsure, but black velvet would be lovely to the touch, and oh so luxurious. Am not sure about swiping that puppy though :wink: lochness Pink is the very bestest colour in the whole entire universe, and every other universe come to think of it. I work on a construction site and have my own bright pink hard hat and pink steel caps boots, my pink vest is coming as I only have an orange one at present and it clashes :( GAB Hmmmm...don't think that trend will become the norm on construction sites!! :lol: arniegang
:roll: :roll: :roll:
"bestest" indeed
so girlie lochness No you are quite right Gab, it will not become an occurance repeated on every construction site, but, put it this way, if I find work in Dubai on a contstruction site, you are certainly sure to know who I am :D :D And I have already had talks with Mr Blundstone about the "Gay Mardi Gras" which is held in SYdney every year, I am set to make a fortune :D Oh Arnie I know 'bestest' is not a correct term in the English vocabulary, but sometimes a girl just had to improvise :wink: GAB ...and Bruce (210cm tall and built like the proverbial brick s@#t house) said "I would prefer my Blundstones in hot pink, thanks mate!" :lol: :lol: :lol: :shock: :shock: :shock: arniegang BRUCE !!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Soooooooooooooooo funnyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Gab - you are going to have to ask locky about Bruce Locky over to you :wink: GAB :oops: She knows someone called Bruce, doesn't she?? :oops: .............and intimately!!?? :oops: :lol: Chocoholic
I'll take it that you didn't quite get this is an old English saying. 'To bring home the bacon' = to earn money. arniegang
It sorta connects with a laff Locky and i had the other week Gab, i will let her explain it to you
:wink: :wink: GAB A laff?? I find you accent hard to understand! :lol: Gee, I feel left in the dark!! :cry: How the hell did you get so many posts? :shock: I am sooo jealous! :lol: arniegang sorry Gabs laff = laugh OK i will try to expalin the "BRUCE" joke Locky and i laughed about. Do you remember a series from the 70's called Monty Python's Flying Circus, with John Cleese, Michael Palin etc? They did a sketch based in the Outback by a group of "real men" all called Bruce. Since then a lot of Brits refer to you guys as Bruce. I will paste the transcript of the sketch here for you . Voice Over Number eight. The kneecap. Pull back to reveal the knee belongs to First Bruce, an Australian in full Australian outback gear. We briefly hear a record of 'Waltzing Mathilda'. He is sitting in a very hot, slightly dusty room with low wicker chairs, a table in the middle, big centre fan, and old fridge. Second Bruce Goodday, Bruce! First Bruce Oh, Hello Bruce! Third Bruce How are yer Bruce? First Bruce Bit crook, Bruce. Second Bruce Where's Bruce? First Bruce He's not here, Bruce. Third Bruce Blimey, s'hot in here, Bruce. First Bruce S'hot enough to boil a monkey's bum! Second Bruce That's a strange expression, Bruce. First Bruce Well Bruce, I heard the Prime Minister use it. S'hot enough to boil a monkey's bum in 'ere, your Majesty,' he said and she smiled quietly to herself. Third Bruce She's a good Sheila, Bruce and not at all stuck up. Second Bruce Ah, here comes the Bossfella now! - how are you, Bruce? Enter fourth Bruce with English person, Michael Fourth Bruce Goodday, Bruce, Hello Bruce, how are you, Bruce? Gentlemen, I'd like to introduce a chap from pommie land... who'll be joining us this year here in the Philosophy Department of the University of Woolamaloo. All Goodday. Fourth Bruce Michael Baldwin - this is Bruce. Michael Baldwin - this is Bruce. Michael Baldwin - this is Bruce. First Bruce Is your name not Bruce, then? Michael No, it's Michael. Second Bruce That's going to cause a little confusion. Third Bruce Mind if we call you 'Bruce' to keep it clear? Fourth Bruce Well, Gentlemen, I think we'd better start the meeting. Before we start, though, I'll ask the padre for a prayer. First Bruce snaps a plastic dog-collar round his neck. They all lower their heads. First Bruce Oh Lord, we beseech thee, have mercy on our faculty, Amen!! All Amen! Fourth Bruce Crack the tubes, right! (Third Bruce starts opening beer cans) Er, Bruce, I now call upon you to welcome Mr. Baldwin to the Philosophy Department. Second Bruce I'd like to welcome the pommy bastard to God's own earth, and I'd like to remind him that we don't like stuck-up sticky-beaks here. All Hear, hear! Well spoken, Bruce! Fourth Bruce Now, Bruce teaches classical philosophy, Bruce teaches Haegelian philosophy, and Bruce here teaches logical positivism, and is also in charge of the sheepdip. Third Bruce What's does new Bruce teach? Fourth Bruce New Bruce will be teaching political science - Machiavelli, Bentham, Locke, Hobbes, Sutcliffe, Bradman, Lindwall, Miller, Hassett, and Benet. Second Bruce Those are cricketers, Bruce! Fourth Bruce Oh, spit! Third Bruce Howls of derisive laughter, Bruce! Fourth Bruce In addition, as he's going to be teaching politics, I've told him he's welcome to teach any of the great socialist thinkers, provided he makes it clear that they were wrong. They all stand up. All Australia, Australia, Australia, Australia, we love you. Amen! They sit down. Fourth Bruce Any questions? Second Bruce New Bruce - are you a pooftah? Fourth Bruce Are you a pooftah? Michael No! Fourth Bruce No right, well gentlemen, I'll just remind you of the faculty rules: Rule one - no pooftahs. Rule two, no member of the faculty is to maltreat the Abbos in any way whatsoever - if there's anybody watching. Rule three - no pooftahs. Rule four - I don't want to catch anyone not drinking in their room after lights out. Rule five - no pooftahs. Rule six - there is no rule six! Rule seven - no pooftahs. That concludes the reading of the rules, Bruce. First Bruce This here's the wattle - the emblem of our land. You can stick it in a bottle or you can hold it in your hand. All Amen! Fourth Bruce Gentlemen, at six o'clock I want every man-Bruce of you in the Sydney Harbour Bridge room to take a glass of sherry with the flying philosopher, Bruce, and I call upon you, padre, to close the meeting with a prayer. First Bruce Oh Lord, we beseech thee etc. etc. etc., Amen. All Amen! First Bruce Right, let's get some Sheilas. An Aborigine servant bursts in with an enormous tray full of enormous steaks. Fourth Bruce OK. Second Bruce Ah, elevenses. Third Bruce This should tide us over 'til lunchtime. Second Bruce Reckon so, Bruce. First Bruce Sydney Nolan! What's that! (points) Cut to dramatic close-up of Fourth Bruce's ear. Hold close-up. The superimposed arrow pointing to the ear. Voice Over Number nine. The ear. GAB Gee, I'll get back to you when I'm more focussed-after all it is more than two lines!!!!!!!!!! :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: I'm more of a visual person!! :lol: GAB I've had my cup of java and now got my bifocals on!

Anyway Liban-try and be remotely nice, its kind of disturbing or weird-take your pick!! arniegang Gab Sometimes its best just ignoring, he's so desperate for friends and lonely, negative attention is better than no attention at all. :D :D GAB He's married-he shouldn't be lonely!! :D arniegang what makes you think he is married? :wink: Liban Its so heart warming the attention I keep getting :oops: lochness Sorry ladies and gents I have been away and you will never guess what highway we were travelling on, Gab, Arnie, are you guessing???
