A fellow paddler

One of the challenges working here in Muscat is that if language and nuances of language.

An Omani colleague was aware of our tendancy to overindulge over Xmas. In the UK, we deal with it b. y suggesting we might have put on a couple of pounds. Clearly, my colleague was unaware of our sensitivities in such matters when she suggested

'So you got a little fat at Xmas .....'

The blip was amost another sunset until this guy required attention.
