don;t mean to take the wind out of your sails nic, but as far as i'm aware all you have to do to become a member of the'snob' community is subscribe to their magazine- must be the crisis or something.
what has it come to when al-jazeera starts poking fun at nouveau riche behaviour triggered by the advent of the hydrocarbonic dollar? really i don't think your editors would have to look so far afield- surely the antics of Sheikh Issa bin Zayed al-Nahyan and his nailed plank offer much more value for money... god only knows what nonsense 'russia today' are pouring forth from their arabic-language outlet to deserve this lame poke in the eye, but surely you can come up with something better. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Date: Wed, 20 May 2009 12:00:50 +0400 (MSD) Subject: Expat Digest, Vol 55, Issue 23 > Send Expat mailing list submissions to > [email protected] > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://www.lists.ru/mailman/listinfo/expat > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > [email protected] > > You can reach the person managing the list at > [email protected] > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of Expat digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
