    There was I thinking "I fancy a pint tonight" ...

    ... when an e-mail comes in from one of the punters.

    I've got something I need you to do. I'll give you a call after the close.
    Sometimes being in this time zone sucks.
    How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

    A point of view ... Barbara Walters of Television's 20/20 did a story on gender roles in Kabul , Afghanistan several years before the Afghan conflict. She noted that women customarily walked five paces behind their husbands.

    She recently returned to Kabul and observed that women still walk behind their husbands. From Miss Walters' vantage point, despite the overthrow of the oppressive Taliban regime, the women now seem to walk even further back behind their husbands, and are happy to maintain the old custom.

    Miss Walters approached one of the Afghani women and asked, 'Why do you now seem happy with an old custom that you once tried so desperately to change?'

    The woman looked Miss Walters straight in the eyes, and without hesitation said, 'Land Mines.'

    Moral of the story is ... (no matter where you go) ...
    BEHIND EVERY MAN, THERE'S A SMART WOMAN!
    Insanity: repeating the same actions, but expecting different results.

      I wonder if that land mines story will ever go away? That is at least the 4th time I have heard it: Iraq, Kuwait and somewhere else before that.

        Snopes says it is False.
