There you go - flat-chested big-boned Italian girls with a facial hair problem do have a future in the Italian miltary. As pin-ups....for other flat-chested big-boned Italian girls with a facial hair problem in the Italian miltary.
Sigh, you old guys and your cultural stereotypes

The same reason any nation gives a damn about anything. If it's in your own national interest then you 'give a damn'. Arabs pretend to care about Palestine as it's a good way to show their population that they are fighting for 'the poor muslim against the evil baby eating jews'.
Conversely, do you think we really give a damn about people in Afghanistan? No we just want them to keep their s
t within their own boundaries and stop exporting it to our front doors. Saying we care though helps us to save face and maintain our presence on the ground.
People only care about themselves - such is life.
And I totally agree. I was demonstrating for others that the Arab league saying nothing about Ghadaffi airstriking protestors should illustrate that any outrage over "Palestine" is only self serving lip service.

It's funny how things that the world might consider very minor take personal preference over things the world might consider important, but right now my overriding concern is to hear that Claire (Gaffer) is safely out of Libya and on her way back to the UK.
Quite.....at least on her way out of there to somewhere.ilikecars said:
My dad works on oil rigs and spends a year in an eastern country and then moves to the next. He told me last year that pretty much the whole of the middle east was on the brink of civil wars. Turns out he was right.
Glad he is out of tripoli and Iraq now. Just hope things don't go the same way in Oman
I have heard similar from others several months ago 'getting out'. Glad he is out of tripoli and Iraq now. Just hope things don't go the same way in Oman
Is the penny dropping?
Just been listening to Cameron spouting right this minute in Kuwait (anniversary of end of first Gulf war)... he has suddenly started mentioning 'nuclear' 'Iran' 'Iran' 'Iran'... 'we will not stand idly by while the threat of Iran'... etc etc.
Time for another war, boys.
Is this what it is all about?
