Two weeker in Iraq

[ImNotFromIndia]

Been offered a two weeker in Iraq. What does the assembled congregation recon? The rate is really rather good, even for me.

Go! It would look good on your CV.

I say go, but paint your head blue and buy a pair of them x-ray specs so you can spot the strap-on bombs.
Who is the agent, or is it a secret ?

Look on the bright side, you may not get blown up, shot or kidnapped, while being handsomely rewarded for the gig and have a fantastic time. Then again the opposite of one or more of these things may happen . . . . which could suck . . . a lot.

If you do go the tradition is to get yourself photographed in front of the crossed swords, preferably with an AK47 round yer neck. Looking forward to that post.

Take the gig, then say you want to work from home (UK) that way you'll be certain to avoid death (decapitation) and taxes (ir35)

In terms of safety, I read yesterday that a Scots Soldier who returned to his home in Saltcoats in the West of Scotland for the Festive season after a two year stint in Iraq was murdered near his home by thugs.

So altough Iraq is dangerous - you could be murdered in your own backyard -food for thought.

You must be new here:

threaded doesn't need a CV. People just look at Wikipaedia, or the BBC Business and Science and Technology sites.

Go - and take some of the boring cardigan wearing tw@ts on here with you.

Go, don't forget to pack your orange jump-suit, you'll need it for your "photo oportunities". Oh, and steer clear of market places, petrol stations, police stations, er . . . roads, etc etc.
