Hi everyone. Wonder if anyone could do me a favour. I have a student who I teach online who is currently in Brighton on an English course at St Giles. He is an air traffic controller from Saudi Arabia. He would love to meet someone for a coffee in the evening to get some valuable speaking practice. His English is pretty good and he's also really keen on knowing more about our beloved football club. I've told him about the Under 23s playing Newport at the Amex next Tuesday so I think it's quite likely he will go, especially as it's only a fiver! Anyway, if anyone would like to meet Ayman, let me know and I'll give you his number for WhatsApp.

Good luck. I hope someone local is able to assist.

I wonder how different the volume of responses would be, if your request had been...

Female Saudi air traffic controller.

They aren't even allowed to park cars.

Actually the first course of female controllers has now graduated and a second course is going through the college at the moment. The times they are a-changing!

That would be a year ago.

I guess I should have written

...'They've only just learned to park cars'

as my falling flat equality 'zinger'.

Good point well made.

I shall myself for assuming the direction you were heading from the first gender switcharoo.

I'd be happy to chat over a coffee. But I've gone completely off the club so you may have to look elsewhere for that side of things. I can tell him all about the Cleveland Browns?
