-Racquet sports (I am not very good but I can hit the ball level)
-Snooker (highest break is 28, so that should tell you everything about the level)
-Golf (I have never played on a full size course, but I can hit the ball)
- Football (I was better when I was fitter)
- Gym (to help with football and walking up stairs without dying, that kind of thing)
- Martial arts (I did Judo and boxing as a kid but nothing since - I am 30 - and would like to do something)
- Theatre/drama
- Learn Arabic (well, at least the basics so I don't appear rude)
- Learn Russian
- Travel

Minus the Theater/Drama & russian, you can get all of the above here.. I can hook you up with people who play soccer, but only outside compound walls, it depends on you.

oh yeah, Welcome to the Kingdom in September (God Willing) .
I wouldn't pass up daves offer if I was you

now about the russian language, I became interested in learning it after listening to a folk song "Oy, to ne vecher". heres the link's:


if possible I'd like to join your quest. I love gathering languages: I speak arabic english and urdu, and Im trying to learn Japanese and French. starting Russian is on my to do list. (I think my language collection is on my profile

anyway, nice to have you onboard, see ya around.

Well, it seems so long since I posted my introduction but after waiting for a couple of months for the visa process I have finally arrived in Riyadh. My first week is just finishing and things are going well.

I hope that people are doing well and having fun. I have managed to see a little bit of Riyadh (well, I know roughly where I work but even taxi drivers seem to struggle with where I live).

Thanks to those who contacted me and gave me advice about coming out here. Hope to catch up with some of you soon. The only really bad things I have noticed so far is that everything is so spread out and it is quite difficult to meet people so if anybody would like to catch up/do fun stuff, let me know.

Hi and Welcome to Riyadh - I hope your first few weeks will be good to you and not overwhelming.聽 We have all been there, so no apologies needed for asking for engagement, it will keep your sanity in check.聽 We are on Compound here and if you want some company you are more than welcome to join a few of us so you can get networking and we can fill you in with some things to do and where to go etc.聽 Just PM when your ready.

Maserman, that T-party is a sore point

Wow the T party really hit a nerve! Apologies for the lack of invites, what can I say? The mail service here is not what is used to be!

Maybe we can all hitch a ride on jillndave's sightseeing tour bus and I'll bring a thermos of tea???

I watch football, although I don't support a media-friendly team.

Hey Martin,

Hmmm intersting... Judging by the fact that you're listed as from London, I'd hazzard a guess that you're a fellow Man Yoo fan!

Glad to hear your first week has gone smoothly! I have high hopes for my time in the Kingdom.... once I get out there! Just in the final stages of the visa process. I'll give you a shout when I arrive as i'm sure there'll be a few of us that fancy kicking a pigskin about!

Enjoy your weekend pal
