The guest is in his 80's...

Dude! Put him in the upper bunk. He escaped the Great Depression with a whole soul. Sleeping arrangements will not significantly challenge him.

Just cruised COMM. People who are funny in Greek and German are probably Buffistas.

Gawd help them, everywhere else.

Just cruised recent Bitches, behind billytea's hints...

Subtle as they were.

billytea is in lurve! That is so cool. Go, billytea!

It is! Well, lurve is premature. But I think I'm deeply in like.

Then you will have missed the news of the day: I seem to have been girlfriended.

Oh, lucky lucky girl. Also, um, since you chose her to girlfriend you, I'm willing to say "lucky billy!", too.

Now, of course, I want to wonder into Bitches and look for the details, as nosy as I am.

Gus, yesterday I dumped the load of pretty much my whole country on Natter. That's what invisible friends are for.

PMM. oh, she is still very cute. But I think you have to continue taking (and posting!) pictures of her, just so that we could continue checking on the cuteness, you know.

Ah, Nilly, you should threadsuck. The ongoing reports from billytea's adventures in dating have been fabulous, but this latest lass sounds like a keeper.

Dude! Put him in the upper bunk. He escaped the Great Depression with a whole soul. Sleeping arrangements will not significantly challenge him.

It's true. He's arriving here from Helsinki, and going from here to Bangkok. If they'd given us box springs to go with the bunkbed, I'd probably leave it.

Fay! How wonderful to finally post with you!

How are you doing? I uderstood there were some work problems - are things moving along better now?

(And thanks, I'll try to threadsuck and look. I love the billytea way of describing billytea adventures, so I think it's pretty safe to assume I'll enjoy this one, as well.)

[Edit: and now, 9+0=3+6. Will there be a "third time ice cream" for these multiplications of 3 post #? All I can do is post and see.]

Hey there! Well, the work thing has been quite interesting. Long story short: my former boss pulled a load of crap on me (and my flatmate) when he discovered we were planning to work for another school in Cairo after completing our contracts with him. He said we weren't allowed to, we pointed out that the contract he gave us didn't prevent us from doing that, he said we'd got the wrong contract, we said it was the one he'd given us, he pointed out that he'd never signed it so nyah nyah nyah nyan. Things could have got really nasty, but they didn't, so much. Flatmate and I lost out on a month's salary, but otherwise everything was hunky dory.

Now, however, our new employers have informed us that the new school we're moving to isn't going to open until September 2006. Surprise! But they've offered her a teaching job at a sister school in Cairo, and me a non-teaching job preparing for the opening of the school. So we get to go back to Cairo, we get the income and benefits we were promised, but we don't get to (a) work together or (b) teach the UK curriculum for which we've been trained.

I'm a bit gutted, but I do appreciate that I'm still going to be employed, and still going to be getting the benefits and salary I was promised.

How's things going with you? It's all happening right now, what with this Gaza pullout business - what's the general feeling at home, would you say? Pro? Con? Ambivalent? I'll be interested to hear how my Egyptian friends feel about it all when I get back. I think it seems like a very positive thing, but I probably don't know enough about the whole situation.

Has anyone seen the kitten huffing?

Well, that was...interesting?

Well, that was...interesting?

Now if someone says they're looking for a little pussy, I'll know that they aren't just being crude.
