    Don't think you had to be all that intelligent. Recall a pub acquaintance who had worked there telling me before the war started that without SH there would be civil war. The tensions existing in the area were obvious from the Iran/Iraq war.

      No you're right. I mean that the average man on the street was more intelligent than our leaders which is a damning indictment of their competence.

          Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

          I preferred version 1!

            Was Saddam withholding the oil from us?
            Don't think so.
            But if there is civil war, we certainly won't get it.

              I expect we'll be back within 15 years.
              While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

                Not sure it ever pays to interfere in another country. Watching that Childern of Zimbabwe last night and thinking, like many, they should have sent in a hit squad and executed Mugabe.

                But then when would ever have been the right time? At the beginning it would have looked like a move to keep all the land for rich whites and probably ended up in them being slaughtered. By the time the scale of the disaster was apparent and many black Zimbabweans would have been happy for him to be assassinated, it was far too late.

                  More the other way around surely?

                    I think future royalties too but happy to stand corrected.

                      It seems you are correct: A spokesman said Mr Blair would hand over the reported £4m advance payment plus all royalties to honour "their courage and sacrifice".
