    Not at all. The name comes from Kashmiri and the script in which Kashmiri is written doesn't really have any rules when translating into the western alphabet - just so long as it's phonetically valid. It's the same for Arabic - how many spellings are there for the word Kaffir for instance?

      in 99% of articles, newspapers, books, websites, maps etc, its always spelled as Kargil. Just as Kaffir is 99% of the time spelled that way. Nice try though...

        As the government is always right I immediately wrote to the Taliban asking them to pop round for tea next Saturday but am starting to regret it.

        I can't make polite conversation about sport, music, art or entertainment. Can't give them a beer or gin, show them my holiday snaps, play any music, watch TV or introduce the wife or any other female geusts without covering them in tents.

        Any entertainment suggestions?
        Get Susan Boyle to sing a few numbers for them so they can see what a real virgin looks like.

          How about making them watch X factor? Enough to make most commit suicide

            Why are you spending your honeymoon posting on CUK?
            The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

            But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”
