  1. Thank you for the ding - honorary mention to a work mate with the Mr Tickle mug!

     

    We'll keep with the children's theme, what bells are next?

     

    Oranges and lemons
    Say the bells of St Clements
     
    You owe me five farthings
    Say the bells of St Martin's
     
    When will you pay me?
    Say the bells of Old Bailey
     
    When I grow rich
    Say the bells of Shoreditch

    We noticed that this cache has been temporarily disabled for a period of time well in excess of the "4 weeks" as contemplated by Guidelines.

    The Geocache Maintenance guideline explains a CO's responsibility towards checking and maintaining the cache when problems are reported.

    Please can you either repair/replace this cache, or archive it (using the archive listing link in the upper right) so that someone else can place a cache in the area,

    If you plan on repairing this cache, please log a note to the cache (not email) within 30 days so we don't archive the listing for non-communication.

    :D Which means you might have known the "Poison Dwarf" ( I have forgotten his real Name), Richard Astbury, Dave Lee Travis Tommy Vance to mention a few.

    DING

     

    Some long forgotten names there and no we don't know the Poison Dwarfs real name either -and we won't use that as the next question :lol:

     

    Staying with names, what is the name - we'll accept forename or surname - of the cgi meerkat whose catchphrase is "simples"?

    From that web page: " For some countries number of arrivals is limited to arrivals by air and for others to arrivals staying in hotels."

     

    For the purposes of geocaching that's an important distinction.  I see that Saudi Arabia has 10 million more visitors than UAE.  I suspect that arrivals at Riyadh airport are counted in Saudi Arabia while UAE may only count arrivals at hotels as the airports in Dubai and Abu Dhabi probably get a  lot more arrivals than Riyadh.  Arriving a Riyadh airport isn't any more difficult than arriving in Dubai, Abu Dhabi or Doha (Qatar). However, UAE doesn't require getting a visa, which would allow one to leave the airport and find a cache, for citizens of most countries. Saudi Arabia requires a visa (not sure if one can be obtained upon arrival).  

     

    It is not possible to get a visa on arrival - and tourist visas are non existent too, with the exception of those performing hadj/umrah.

     

    By the way Mrs me N u found it very okay to go out geocaching - please do not base posts on assumptions/stereotypes.

    Number of tourists per year

    Perhaps a guide to which countries should have souvenirs next. I would ignore Saudi Arabia, because I imagine half the world's population would find it difficult to cache there, but I would suggest that after crossing off those countries which already have a souvenir, take the next ones at the top of the list.

     

    Because Saudi Arabia is so difficult to get to is EXACTLY why it SHOULD have a souvenir!

    "Please do not log your visit until you have received a response from me to your answers. I am usually very quick in this."

     

    Amended after publication or different guidelines for different countries?
