I put on my FB status that my nose is "like a shining red beacon lighting our darkness" (because of my manflu you see).
One of my Egyptian friends (not an ESer!) has just messaged me to say 'well beacon is tasty'.

ROFL.

So anyway, I have written back to explain the difference [Big Grin]

Right now it would dramatically improve my appearance [Big Grin]

I'm gutted that I'm gonna meet some people from here for the first time tomorrow night looking like The Elephant Man.

Anyone got a paper bag to spare?

HI OB, hope you're feeling better. We're no longer at the Marriot, finally got ourselves moved into the house few days back. Now in the midst of major cleaning up, what with the consignment arriving this Saturday - guess i pass this time, although i would love to meet you [Smile] even with your "beacon" nose. Havent got internet connection yet, this one just a quick one from hubby's pc at work. Must dash now. Have a fab one tomorrow.

Well as long as noone expects me to wear the rest of a '300' style costume....
Cairo not ready for that I can tell you [Wink]

By the way OldBeacon is not going to the party tonight after all - feeling very unwell [Frown]

hope you feel better soon Oldbag!

Talking about misunderstandings. When i first left Egypt years ago, leaving my hubby behind [Frown] he would write loads of letters. He would always start them Dear sweat! i never told him for a while because i thought it was kinda cute (sad i know [Big Grin] )

Just thought, hope it was a misunderstanding [Big Grin] and didn't mean it [Big Grin]

Take care and get well OB!!!

lol!

when I was with a non-brit, many moons ago, his letters would start "Dear Angle"!

once, for his birthday, my mother sent a couple of shirts, he tried to write a thank you note, it went like this:
'thank you for the shits you sent me'!!
