Saudi Arabia opens its doors to tourists
Following up to David Horne, _the_ chancellor of the duchy of
besses o' th' barn and prestwich tesco 24h offy This came up in conversation with the NZ cussies, but i'm not much atracted to SE Asia. Have you been to Thailand? Parts of it, and other countries in the area can be achingly beautiful- even the famous tourist spots, like Phang Nga Bay. No, I'm sure its nice. If I ever bother with long flights it will almost certainly be south America as first choice, maybe combined with the Galapagos. Other choice would be Antarctica. Or combine Antarctica with Patagonia. I would also like to see the Himalaya. But at the moment I'm becoming increasingly obsessed with the Scottish islands, off to Unst again in a few weeks.Then there's the bits of Spain I haven't done, Ibiza, Gran Canaria and Alicante, winter for those three I think. -- Mike Reid Walk-eat-photos UK "http://www.fellwalk.co.uk" -- you can email us@ this site Walk-eat-photos Spain "http://www.fell-walker.co.uk" -- dontuse@ all, it's a spamtrap |

wrote: Following up to Dave Frightens Me It seems to me its the pollution that's a bigger hurdle than the fuel. If we can diversify the types of fuel we use, the pollution issue shouldn't be such a problem. It's the almost sole use of fossil fuels that causes the imbalance. doesn't burning bio diesel has the same problem as mineral oil? Pretty much, yes. But then bio diesel is practically a fossil fuel, even if it's not. -- --- DFM - http://www.deepfriedmars.com --- -- |

Alternatives like ... ummm ... ahhh ... oh yes, nuclear power. The Saudis really are behind, aren't they. They have so much money that it's not really important. -- --- DFM - http://www.deepfriedmars.com --- -- |

Mr B; (Actually if one of the girls from Iran moved in next door I'd be hoping that "love thy neighbour" was not just an infidel Christian notion) |

The Saudis are probably stuffed, either way. There are a number of technologies that provide oil from algae, which needs nothing but sun and space, something a large desert country would have no problem providing. Does it have to be fresh water? -- --- DFM - http://www.deepfriedmars.com --- -- |

Their food is about the only part I admire about them! How about their natural sense of rhythm, their ability to jump, or their big dicks?
