A friend in need...
long time reader, first time poster, please don't maul. I got lucky(?) some how and ended up in Dubai, aaahh, sand, cranes, building sites outside you house working at 4am, bliss! Anyway got a mate who does the same job as me but at a rival firm. Nice bloke, good for a laugh over a few beers etc, tight as though... The story is that a friend of his has just lost his job back in Blighty, something to do with taking the bosses good nature too far, however said friend is coming out for a week to try his luck in the job market here. Mate says no problem, put you up friend, just get on a plane, we'll sort it out. "Problem", my mate says, over a beer, "no spare bed", "no problem" says I, "get yourself down the cheap supermarket, get a cheap inflatable mattress(just over a tenner)". Problem no more! "But isn't that a waste of money" says He, "He's only staying a week" Raise eyebrow does I, I know whats coming. "I know, HE can buy one when he arrives and then sell it when he leaves" says he. eh? Real estate you can sell here, but a second-hand inflatable mattress, not a massive market. You live in Dubai, Have a good job and can't stump up 10 squid for a mate? What a great bloke, tight as a nun's ... but not as appealing. laugh, kind of.

Dear god
please use the return key. The fact that you're in Dubai is the only piece of information I could glean from that post.

No, I managed to also get that he's
a "long time reader"

Obviously all the posts that he read in that "long time" were devoid of paragraphs.
