Reply to: How would you entertain the Taliban?

Why are you spending your honeymoon posting on CUK?

I see Milliband is saying we should talk to the Taliban.

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?

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

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

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...

Its Kargil, not Cargill. If you are an Indian, you would know that….

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?

Was wondering as that is who I work for - didn't want to think that my half arsed spreadsheets may have something to do with terrorism. Although that algorithm relating to fuse length, terrain type and slippers grip was a tricky one to work out and I never did understand how it related to oil trading!

I thought they spoke Afghani? Since when did Zardari ever visit the Indian side of Kashmir?

Dari / Pashto

No. Don't be facetious please; The Cargill incursion was the invasion of our soverreign territory of Kashmir by the Pakistani villains. You should take a leaf from our book when it comes to dealing with the Taliban. Zero tolerance. It's the only language they understand.

They didn't stay for long!

They liked it so much they came back and booked a hotel for the week.

Obviously did not work if they were invading you.
