Pakistan's Musharraf to resign as president

Have you ever been to one of those sessions? Third hand word says they
are time killers with no emphasis on paying attention or attendance.
Just mark in the book how many were there. "Cultual awareness" indeed
The stuff being written by people, both here and elsewhere on the net,
seems to me to indicate that they know very little about South Asian culture
at all and haven't even bothered to read the available literature on the
area, and especially the vast literature available about the NWF and
Afghanistan from the days of the British.
Despite all the warnings from everyone the word 'tribal' seems to indicate
Amerindian culture to all Americans. Perhaps if they'd used the word 'clan'
and the special vocabulary for dealing with clans earlier it would all have
been better, but it's too late now...

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.
