    Yeah, plus they're only little brown chaps at the end of the day, eh? They expect that sort of thing, don't they?

    And their extreme poverty and desperation does make for such attentive service.

    Fvck me.

    That sounds pretty much like every working man's conundrum in a nutshell, imo.

    F*ck me. Which part of 'Russian prostitutes in thongs' did you not understand, Dutchie?

    sort of.

    The employers pay for their flights and accommodation (a couple of floors of a hotel one for males, one for females, for instance) and food - then deduct it from their wages.

    Leaving them pretty much penniless and unable to pay for a flight out.

    I have no interest in Russian prostitutes. I am 53 years old and the last time I achieved anything vaguely approaching tumescence, we still played at Highbury.

    Surprising that every staff member of my bezzie resort in Fujairah with whom I have spoken (many) goes home for a month every year and returns. It's almost as if the lazy generalization you're using is just that, a lazy generalization.

    They all love it where I go, mostly because I'm there, of course. Get waited on hand and foot. Only 5 months to go for my next trip!

    Not where I work it doesn't, red.

    As are Albanians. They too claim to have a unique 'Illyrian' lineage.

    Fair enough. It's all in the mind, I suppose.

    Ah, Fujairah. That's a bit more Emirati populated on that side isn't it?

    Either they treat the staff better or the staff are programmed to tell you everything is cool.

    Does the bar at your place fill up with alcohol consuming arabs during 'Ladies Hour'?
