Happy Birthday JJ. All the best and so on. I wish everyone had friends like you...
Ok. So here I am. I have just learnt that maybe, with a 90% probability, inshallah, and so on, I might be able to fly out on 5/08. I sincerely hope so. I have to gety out of here :) no, it ain't that bad. But it's getting worse Mordad (somewhere between July and August) is supposed to be the hottest month here and Tabas is THE place NOT to be in the SUMMER!!But fock it.If all goes ok, it's only 7 working days for me left before I go.
Mining news? We have almost finished the installation. Now comes the small jobs. This is where the hardest part starts. Maybe this is why I have been sent underground. From Saturday onwards I'll be in the Resistance :) It's so boring underground. 19% of oxygen, feel sleepy all the time. But what can I do, nothing!
Take care, cross your fingers for my visa...and maybe see you (at least some of you) in the near future...or a further one :)

No men exist on surface...
Sob bekheyr...
You may wonder what the topic's about. Well, this is what Adam has been told by one of the Iranian miners.Someone wanted to call the haulage operator to check if any trasnport was going down the T/G and if he was safe to go out. But the chap told him that "no men exits on the surface".
"bloody hell" - he thought. "Is this the third world war?Have the Yanks invaded?Dropped an A-bomb?"
What the bloke wanted to say, is that there was noone to answer the phone :)
Yes, these people sometimes say funny things.
But the next one belongs to our compatriote, the operator of the pump station. He was training a group of young and eager IRanians to become pump station operators and they were all taking pipes from one place to another. and MArian (the polish specialist) was saying to them "Lula gende". They were all laughing and he thought it was because he was speaking good farsi.no,no,Mr Marian. "Lula" does indeed mean "pipe" but gende does not mean "give me"."gende" is the second part of the MotherF word :) so he was saying "pass me the focking pipe" :)
Of the other things. Our favorite tv show is english teaching. And so, everyday at 9 p.m. we sit and watch and repeat "thirteen or thirty, fourteen or fourty" and so on :) Don't really know what to think about it. it hink we are going slightly bananas... :)
My eyes are red. For over a week now.Fardo I am going to an eye doctor. Hope he/she helps me 'cause it is getting anoying. I jsut hope it is not anything bad. And my eyes will still be beautiful as they were :)
I cannot wait till my holiday. It is supposed to start on the 3rd of August. I hope it does. Really,sometimes this country can be depressing. I make stupid mistakes at work and the next day I am over the moon. In a good mood.
As for my farsi speaking skills they are...mediocre :) I know a few words, can buy the basic stuff in a shop but I had hoped for more. Well I still have some time here to pick up on my skills and hopefully I will.
ok.gotta go.take care all of you,if anyone keeps reading this load of bollocks :)
cheerio
