Um... we've been drinking alcohol since we got here. Oh, I left a full bottle of Jamesons at your house too. I drank about a quarter of the one you had opened though.

Considering who I work for, I doubt that will be a problem.

Either way, this is not the place to discuss it. I just thought I'd point out, it's not a problem.

Me too - i got mine today and I've been working for over three months. It's not illegal if the company is taking that long and starts the process immediately

congrats to u as well scarlet.

I am not sure but according to the rules one has to have a residence visa before he/she can start working for that particular company. But does anyone follow the rules here :)

Really, I was smashed. I woke up this morning feeling like I'd been run over (twice) by a concrete truck.

Any chance you could bring some of the Jammies to the thing on later this week?

I heard about the one dirham a drink offer.
I expect there are a few thick heads this morning?? Any MIA (missing in action)??

And as for the PSP's - I saw Fayz on Sunday, and just before he fell asleep whilst eating his good old English Fish & Chips (maybe my scintillating conversation??), he told me that he was still on his first one! And, he also revealed that he fears that some of the PSP's may be missing!!

Oh - Scarlet & Ian - congrats to you both (sorry to hijack your thread!)

He unfortunately just drooled. He'd even asked for extra chips (don't tell Mrs Fayz!), but then couldn't eat any of them!!
He put me right off my burger and chips - which I just managed to finish!

I shall obviously be carrying out further investigations from this end, in the hope of finding the culprit.

On a brighter note though, I understand the Zimbabwean economy is now booming - so I believe the DFM may have played a big part in that. Big pat on the back to us all!
