I'm sitting in the Site Office in Baku, and as I look from the window I can see the Waters edge and the deep blue expanse of the Caspian Sea disappearing to the horizon. tomorrow I start looking for an apartment with the help of a company agent and by the end of next week I'll have a nice 2 bedroomed place where I can put up my mates next time they can convince their women that Wales really are playing Azerbaijan again, so the can come on the piss for a few days. The women are all drop dead gorgeous, most wear stilettos and short skirts or dresses and as it's lunchtime (We're 4 hours ahead of Cardiff) there are about 14 of them all sitting round the kitchen area drinking tea and chatting as I speak. There are 3 floors in the building but they always sit here because there is more room. (Thank you god!) I could easily go blind here and never see City again. I'll have to buy mirror sun glasses, I think I'm developing a stare. I wonder if they go to the footie games? Perhaps I can start a female football supporters club and they can all come round my place and watch it on TV every weekend. See how I am keeping this thread footie related? Those who know me will recognise that I've always thought my glass half full rather than half empty and when I got this job the salary proved me right, but the bonus of the view from here means it is full to the brim now. I'll have to start drinking some so there is room for my delight when City kick of the season and roar to the top of the table and stay there. Then next year when the city is full of even more beautiful women drawn by the eurovision song contest I will be celebrating City's promotion. Anyone care to join me?
Good for you Xsnaggle. I have lived in some different countries, and I have loved it. I often did it for less money, just because I wanted to do something different in my life. It has meant I can't get back to see the Bluebirds, but thank god for the internet these days
"The women are all drop dead gorgeous, most wear stilettos and short skirts or dresses and as it's lunchtime" It sounds as though you're in the red light district?
