Mere personal notes on Diplos, Iftaars and their hitting on colleagues
I remain submerged in business and the like, when not moderately fascinated by the entire CIA - Vice President scandal in the United States, however to keep my entertainment value up some side thoughts on recent items in Expat land.
In particular I am at present bemused by a certain problem with one of my key diplo contacts, useful mostly for giving me inside information on important economic-political developments. The problem being that at Iftaars he insists on hitting in a less-than-sophisticated manner upon an older colleague who is in town.
Now the woman, a very sporty older Italian lady is admittedly attractive and perhaps moderately sporting as well. But at the same time, she is married (the entire ring on the finger thing) and these things (iftaar) are not really 'hit on the older lady' events - especially when they are supposedly more about business and even worse, when one of the senior officers is there. I can't bloody invite this useful if clutzy fellow to these things if he insists on this behaviour. Makes me look like a pimp. Which really is not my style.
