I actually did get stopped by the Taliban, (they were known as the Mujahideen at the time) not exactly on the street but on a high mountain pass. They didn't ask my name, one of them just took my backpack and asked what was in it. I told him it was just clothes and food, he nodded and then used it as a rest for his gun to shoot small rocks that one of them had set up for target practice. It wasn't long before I realised they were just putting a show on for us, but at the same time letting us know, they were in charge in that part of the country. They were quite good fun really despite looking pretty scary....

Name_Taken_Too: In you're street, what would your name be?

You may think that all this is funny, well it's not. There are people dying over there, Innocent people like there were back in Ireland many years ago, or have you forgotten So what would you say? what would you do? Obviously you've got the brains of a child. You wouldn't know . You'd probably come back with, " It was only a joke" Was it a "joke" when all the bombings in Ireland took place? All the postings you posted here on CS re Palestine?

Name_Taken_Too: If only you had of mentioned Dino from Belfast. the best tea you ever did taste..
That reminds me of a quote from a book I once read, Three Cups of Tea....
"The first time you share tea with a Balti, you are a stranger. The second time you take tea, you are an honored guest. The third time you share a cup of tea, you become family.”
