      So because you got shafted all Islamic places are nasty? Nice logic there. Is it nice to feel like a victim? Haha.

        I have also lived in an Islamic country and I had a very nice experience. In fact I plan to live in one in a few years again.

          Is the "being there for their benefit" in your head or theirs? A number of the countries you were helping didnt want you there in the first place.

          ** Not having a pop at the squaddies there. Fine job in difficult circumstances.

            Bet it wasn't any of the following:

            Saudi Arabia
            Kuwait
            Iraq

            ?

              You are moving to Bradford, Congrats
              Faster, faster, faster, until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death.

              Patience is something you admire in the driver behind you and scorn in the one ahead.
