Introducing…S

S is going to help me with my Arabic. He's 32, has a wife, an almost 1 year old baby, 9 brothers, 1 sister (the youngest of the lot!), teaches Arabic as well as studying it. We had a nice cup of tea and he gave me the low down on the forthcoming elections. Word on the street is that Hamas are very close to Fatah in the opinion polls now, and the latter is getting quite worried. S. certainly wasn’t going to predict what was going to happen, nor how things would change should Hamas win the majority of seats. It would seem that breath here in Palestine, is quite ‘bated’ indeed.

Hey Old Man! Great just what I needed another distraction. (wink)

Looking forward to keeping in touch with your life. Hope all goes well.

Well not sure if I'll watch the superbowl this year as the Patriots were forced to lose, because they wanted someone else to win for once. The Celtics and Bruins aren't doing so hot - gonna have to wait til April for the Sox.
