Yeah, but you wouldn't want your chocolate starfish looking like it had walked across a cheese grater!

The toilet reason as Arabs see it as very rude if you try to shake hands using your left hand.
The long fingernail would be useful for cleaning your ears out as well, due to the fact that before entering a mosque to pray, muslims have to clean their hands, feet, mouth, nose and ears.

The sign of a good buddy is the subtle pointing out of post-dive 'scuba snot' before the rest of the group loudly point it out.

I did wonder why Ratty looked less than enthused when I approached him for a congratulatory post-100th dive peck on the cheek!

I found out why, afterwards.

You (and Helen and Sue) are the exception that proves the rule !!

I'm still trying to work out whether this is a compliment or not

[NotDeadYet]

If you paint the long nails then you can convince yourself it's the hand of someone else... ahem... so I've been told... by a cousin... or something...

Coke spoon? How things have changed! There was a time when nothing less than a rolled up 50 would do, then it went down to a tenner, a fiver and now a finger nail. How vulgar!

the term "divers make-up" seems more applicable in view of the glamour shots we see in all the dive mags advertising kit, like the BC review in one of this months dive mags...

I'm taking it as a compliment.


I think the long nail is a winit picker.

Well, that and the fact that you've had your hand cut off!!
