I claim the title of supreme expat ... I am an expatriate of the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem in the 12th century. :P :lol: :wink:
Obviously I did not become a WIS before the mechanical clock was invented. :wink:
Off to get my coat ... :roll: :wink:

Ahh, The Sid. I'm about 1200Km north of you.
Regards, Jon.
Hi on a trip, so perhaps appropriate timing!-picked up my first, what I would call serious watch, abroad.
Maybe that's where time-travel is good :wink: :) and a tardis for escape even more helpful :D
Nice pics. Very nice pic of you and your wife-congratulations :)
Perhaps soon I shall be travelling after a 'seagull'!
Best wishes,
AP :)
It was April 15, 2005 when I made my first post on the BMW forum (well worth a read ). After that, I decided to gain some WISdom as fast as possible!
BTW, I heard about Jeddah when I served at RAF Muharraq (Bahrein) in the 60's. Back then, it was just holes in the desert with prisoners and steel bars on top. :wink:
cheers,
I'm on a C-130 down to Taif next week,so a week-end in Jidda is on the cards. Do you know any good pubs?
Regards, Jon.
I turned 51 a couple of weeks ago, and I've spend 24 of them out of the USA. But, I still have apple pie coursing through my veins. ;)
I became a WIS to keep me off the streets and out of trouble.
Best wishes,
bob
I only really became a WIS after leaving the UK. I've been teaching in Qatar for 6 1/2 years now, and after my first year, I treated myself to an Omega Speedmaster, the reduced, automatic one. (I compared this to the Moonwatch in the shop, and remember asking myself - 'Why would people pay 50% more for a watch that you've got to wind yourself?!' :) Young naive fool that I was!)
Bought it cash, with a discount, got VAT off at Heathrow, and when I came to sell it, two years late, I made a profit of £6. That got me thinking?
