Mr Davidson has been maintaining radio silence as he gears up to fly out to Saudi Arabia which he is doing today. So hope the journey goes well and look forward to hearing from you when you are settled in!

I look forward to regular delivery of foreign wives.
And get yourself sorted on Skype Nick. You can't escape my rants.

Likewise - bring on the foreign wives.
So when is Karl going to assume Nick's toy duties?

At exactly the same time Nick's plane takes off and the cosmic toy-fu powers are transferred.

Hey Nick. Always good to talk to you. Shame I've missed a couple of chances to see you again this year, but I know we'll eventually catch up.
Make the most of your time in Saudi Arabia (or Sowdee Arabyurr as we Bristolians pronounce it). I hope it RULES over there.
Safe journey and stay my friend.

If the Travel Gods have any sense of fair play given monday's utter fiasco it should be.

I await tales of a peaceful journey. However I know how these things tend to work out for Nick.
Hope it goes well out there Nick, and keep in touch. We're interested in the state of Saudi TFs.
I will have to decline the offer of a foreign bride though. More for Ralph & Andy....

I shall hold your box hostage until I get my foreign brides! All 10 of them!

Last I heard he was waiting on his plane and denied my assertion that Mirage was with him in invisible mode.

Hey guys! I'm in Saudi Arabia! Immigration and check-in was a lot less intimidating than I was expecting. We're set up in temporary (awesome) accommodation until student facilities are available, we've been given some tokens for local shops and eateries and we're settling in just fine. The hysterical fretting of the last couple of days (mercifully unrecorded due to time constraints) seems silly now.
Anyway, myself and my Yorkshire-born flatmate are setting up to brave the elements (mainly hydrogen and helium) in order to start the laborious process of getting a long term visa, so I'd best be off. I'll check in with you guys later. Tatty bye!

Can you get Iron Bru in Saudi ? I suspect we aught to have asked this question before now......

You're across successfully, excellent news!
Hope that running the maze that is bureaucracy is successful.

Good to know.
Alas, there is no Bru in Saudi. I may have to track down the British embassy in Riyadh.
Well, our third musketeer has shown up at last. A pleasant enough bloke called Hasan who showed up to look round the place with his folks. They are a stern-faced pair who didn't seem overly impressed with the place despite the palatial surroundings. They seemed to have lightened up a bit when I came downstairs half an hour later to find them still hanging out there whereupon I got questioned for quite some time.
No idea where my other flatmate is. I swear I can hear raised voices downstairs. It's just like being back home listening to the neighbours row only I can't understand the words.
