Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.
I'm going off on my holidays in 10 days - 3 weeks in sunny Iran, so my return is not guaranteed!
I've got a stack of weeds inherited from BananaMan, so if anyone wants them before the festive period please tell me soon so I can get them out the door.
Christmas and New Year without a drink is going to be interesting, but I'm sure I'll manage. Anyone want anything brought back - manuals on revolutionary warfare, a Republican Guard Action Man, or the latest edition of Islamic Playboy ("Miss December - check out those ankles!"), let me know and I'll see what can be done.

Are you serious? No offense intended, but I don't understand...
Keep safe, M!
Less Holiday in Cambodia than Rock the Casbah, I'm hoping. No offense taken - I just want to go and see the place before someone does something stupid (like start a war with it) and levels 5,000-odd years of history. And I hear there's some fairly impressive gravity on the walls of the former US embassy in Tehran (now called the US Den of Espionage), and I'm a big fan of modern art.
Seriously, though - it's going to be a doddle. No worries

When I was a child my father took us to Turkey when there was a military curfew on. He got drunk and missed the curfew. The soldiers kept him awake and against a wall at gunpoint til dawn and then let him go...
Its no wonder he no longer drinks
I had a face on the mirror
I had a hand on the gun
I had a place in the sun and a ticket to Syria

Hey, enjoy the Middle East! Reputation shmeputation, it's a cool part of the world, and an opportunity to live in a totally different culture for a bit!
I was there during Ramadan this year, and it was great, so it'll be OK for you!
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

It rocks, doesn't it? Glad you enjoyed Jordan as much as I did - it was the first trip I made there and I caught the ME bug baaaaaaaaaaaaad. Tried to get to Lebanon last year but the Israelis got there before me, so went to Syria instead. Been trying to go to Iran for 3 years but something always gets in the way. Always fun explaining to the immigration chaps at Kennedy (at Heathrow they don't give a monkey's) why I went - last year they went through my bags with a fine toothcomb, didn't care about the knock-off computer software (Under Ash and Special Force), dodgy carpets, Hizb'Allah flags or pictures of Hamid Nasrallah, but they were rather taken with the 10 cartons of duty-free fags in the bottom of my bag. "But they're all duty free!" Yes, sir, but you're only allowed to bring in 200 of them, you'll have to pay duty on the rest. $20 for 9 cartons, still cheap as chips. Lovely.

Although i've heard from my mate in the Navy who's off to the Gulf in the New Year, he advises that there's a build up going on, and his mate in the Royal Marines says Afghanistan is stocked up, ready and waiting for the word to go in
