Because that's what they want you to think.

Also. that was a fair while ago. more likely now you'll just get exploded.

Wowser, A Flock of Seagulls were from Liverpool! Why haven't we got a hundred streets named after them, rather than 8 million George/John/Paul/Ringo streets?

Well in all honesty (and from what I can gather from previous posts), 2 days isn't so bad. I would, however, go much sooner rather than later as it appears those real life chocolate faces could be next on Bush's hit list.

If you're over there when the shit inevitably hits the fan it's going to be a much trickier issue. In short go quickly and blag a nice bonus/danger money pay off from it. Also let us know that you get back safely. And bring me a sexy dark skinned Iranian lady if there are any.






I walk along the avenue, I never thought I'd meet a girl like youooo/meet a girl like youuuuuuu

With auburn hair and tawny eyes, the kind of eyes that hypnotise with ruuuue/hypnotise with ruuuuuue...
TJ: Iran is an Aryan nation, isnt it? meaning mostly white-chocolate faces?

also, googleing for 'aryan nations' makes my brain say sad things

lol... cheers all who have commented... chances are I will be going, just waiting on confirmation of the order now.

To be honest I am looking forward to going, just for the cultural experience, though 2 days without booze is going to be a killer, at least when I went to Dubai and Bahrain I could have a pint or 2 in the evening, the thought of not having a glass of wine, even with a meal, is a bit daunting.

Rest assured I will provide photos when I go. Do you think I should delete the pr0n from my laptop first?

It might be worth pointing out your missus isn't entirely unreasonable with this, as I definitely wouldn't consider going without asking the wife first.

It will probably be fine, and you will enjoy it, but with all things like this you have to balance up the benefits with the possible negatives.

Personally I wouldn't go without a serious bonus for doing so, as at the end of the day, you are putting yourself at more risk by going there, and therefore should be rewarded in some way for going.

There is no right or wrong answer for this sort of thing, but you have to do what both you and your missus see fit, as I don't think this is a decision you can make on your own.

Good luck!
