    Two weeker in Iraq

    Been offered a two weeker in Iraq. What does the assembled congregation recon? The rate is really rather good, even for me.
    Insanity: repeating the same actions, but expecting different results.
    threadeds website, and here's my blog.

    How much is you life worth ?

    I bought a Sadam t-shirt off the market today, a bit tight around the neck but hangs well

      Really most places are pretty safe - the media only ever report the bad stories. Try Tikrit on the weekend, they do really good BBQs.

        Iraq's PM longs to leave office

        I thought they'd need you for longer than two weeks.

          If it's a really really good rate -i.e. beyond the dreams of avarice - then go for it!
          But don't risk your life for a small reward
          How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think

            I wouldn't have thought there was much of a market now for Saddam Hussain lookalikes
            Why the avatar? Well anyone accused of plotting against Gordon Brown can't be all bad.

              how much are they offering? Do they throw a tank in also?
              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!

                A friend of mine works there, in 6 months he's seen 2 colleagues offed in ambushes / car bombs. Even in the green zone people have been kidnapped so you always walk around in twos and armed. Don't forget to pack the orange boiler suit.

                  Quite a bit of SAP work going on in Iran as well at the moment

                    I would go if I was you. They can't behead you, there isn't a knife in Iraq that wouldn't be blunted by the soggy fat roll you call your neck.
                    Hard Brexit now!
