PaulL,

I'll have to give you kudos for your response to OUG...very entertaining!

You're not the first - and won't be the last - to attempt to nudge him into a more conventional style of exposition...don't like your chances, though :)

For those interested, the History channel has been screening an
interesting documentary on the Taliban, going from the Russian
invasion of Afghanistan until the present. No doubt they will
rerun it a few times.

There is alot of interesting background information in there,
interviews with some of the key players, like the amusing
Taliban information minister etc and many more.

For instance, I had not been aware that it was actually Massoud,
the Northern Alliance leader, who brought bin Laden back from
the Sudan to Afghanistan, hoping he could negotiate a peace
settlement between the the Taliban and the NI, when civil war
was happening in the country. It was only later that Omar teamed
up with bin Laden, due to both being extremely religious.

UOG, not sure what your gibberish is about this time. IMHO all
that weed over the years has done some permanent damage, it seems.

not even pearls
let alone pearls of wisdom
wise-dumb?

BTW this is off topic, but Poirot, I thought of you when I saw
an interview on Charlie Rose, with an interesting bloke called
Sal Khan.

What started as an execise in teaching his niece some maths basics
over distance has now become 2100 educational videos and 53 million
downloads.

He has opened a non profit organisation, bankrolled by some wealthy
donors, but I think his approach could revolutionise education
and learning for many.

It could be handy, if you are homeschooling.

Dear Yabby,

I'm not sure what men organising weddings has to do with the topic at hand. I agree that Obama has a lot on his plate at present. That's nothing new. I'm sure other World Leaders also have their own agendas to deal with however it's usually customary if one cannot accept Royal invitations - one is obliged to send a representative (as President Reagan (Conservative - Republican) did to the wedding of Prince Charles). But of course one needs to be invited in the first place. President Obama (Democrat) did not receive that courtesy as neither did former British Prime Ministers -
Blair and Brown (Labor) whereas their predessor John Major (Conservative - Tory) did attend the wedding. Interesting. Also let's not forget that the Bin Laden incident came after the Royal Weding.

Well, thank you very much, Yabby.

- I shall have a look at that.
