Dear All
It seems that from my general comments and ' sex in the city' type of blog I have offended friends.
I apologize for this, as it wasn't my intention to make any of it personal, but more on general and blokey type of comments.
My ramblings have gone too far.
It may also offend my dear wife, who I love very much and my children.
To this end I am closing the blog down.
Apologies to all I have upset !!!!

Heading back to Abu Dhabi
Well in Muncih airport at the moment for 6 hours waiting to head back to Abu Dhabi.
I am working all weekend as well to catch up on things while I was away.
My son got the sack for his alarm not going off and he didn't go to work. Not sure the real reason, but we have to start again trying to find him work. Today hopefully they will allow him to sign on the dole so he can get jobseekers allowance and also help him get a job.
However, with no apprenticeships and no Electrical work for youngsters, it doesn't look good.
It seesm that the holiday didn't do me any good at all. The wife isn't talking to me again, my friends have the hump with me because I dared to ask them for the money they owed me.
Does make me wonder whether to end it all and let them make it themselves!!

Turkish rip off!
Having just returned from my week off with the family to Turkey I can confirm that it is a rip off and not cheap anymore.
1. The travel company wanted to charge 20% exchange fee for a tour when it's priced in Euro and Turkish Lire.
2. They charged again 20% exchange rate for Food & Bev on the plane.
3. Taxis try to rip you off with their own tip of about 20%. Wherever tehy drop you they have a deal with the shop, who takes his card and replaces it with theirs, so you go back to them for the same taxi.
4. We went to a shop with handbags. They started at Euro 100 and we got them down to Euro 40 and still didn't buy.
5. immitation Hilfiger, Ralph Lauren, Gant etc cost Euro 10 and so do most shirts. like one guy though when he said he was cheaper than Asda's (Walmart)
6. Restaurants try to sting you up by not giving you an itemised bill.
So anyway you can get my drift?
Anyway off to Munich early in the morning and then onto Dubai.
Working most of the weekend to catch up.

In Turkey on vacatıon
Lovely hotel and grounds, but bedrooms no more than a 2*. Food excellent.
Surrounded by a load of Russıans who for some reason pıle theır plates to vey hıgh levels of Cherrıes. Apparently somethıng to do wıth the past Russıan regıme and not havıng seen fruıt for years. Seems that Cherrıes are a rare commodıty and they need to have as many as possıble!
The ıronıc thıng ıs that the pratts don't eat ıt all! Steep and waste.
Also surrounded by Germans for tomorrows game!!
