Some mates went there on our recommendation last year and had a great time.

Camel have the best bar/curry house and the dive school is (well was) well run.

In 1998 it was all Italians and the money men there were Mafia.

They've all been 'bought out' by the Russians.

And the diving horror stories have got more extreme as well.

(At least the Thistlegorm only had bits pinched then, it's being pretty much stripped wholesale these days.)

Give him a chance. The cleaner will be doing her rounds in the morning.

That will prove interesting. ALL domestic staff are men in tourist regions.

Russian girls in Sharm el-Sheikh

If you really want to win their hearts after a while of chatting and writing for say a few months, offer to pay for their vacation to Sharm el-Shaykh, Egypt and meet them at the airport. If you are sincere they will love you for that, its not sponsoring them its about finding your true love. You will go to Sharm with a Russian girl and not have to look any further.

Jesus Christ, even i think that's seedy.

Problem with the Russian women in Sharm is they're utterly stunning to the extent where you're walking around the resort with a hard on but they all have massive boyfriends man-marking them. It's dangerous to even look in their general direction.

Ruskis are *****.

It is out of season here, although it is quite warm at 24 degrees (freeze you UK suckers!), and there are not many tourists here. Lots of russians.
I'm not skilled in the art of chatting up women I'm afraid..

FFS Russian women are there?

Open yer wallet and they'll be round you like flies round tulipe

Investigate and report back. We have enough suppositions on here already.
