You could even bring all your Filipina 'staff'! <br />I wonder when we will read some more official, factual, objective news about all this great stuff in the Times of Oman. Even if it can not be blamed on the jews (Oppenheimer et al?), it can still be easily linked to the Americans. Same thing anyway, right?<br />But guys, please, respect for Miss Filipotti. She is working around the clock and has been doing so from the start.

Also, Anees is a bit of an old tusker eh, and so it all kinda fits. For 7K the filly must be very able in helping matters along in that regard.

There are lots of unmarried women out there doing great work. And working one's way up to earning US$220k a year is a self-evident demonstration of good performance, especially within the high performance culture that permeates BCC1.
