Remember Raki and the way they treat those poor Kurds

[Classic Jorge]

Not very familiar with the food, mind

[Berni]

Also, no Lebaneser has ever given me a good haircut with the exciting ear hair burning thing, so I'm all about the Turks right now.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

The Lebanesers just do it best. And their wine is excellent.

"Turkish food. What you eat when you can't have Lebanese."

There's a chain of Greek restaurants called 'The Real Greek', have you seen them? I had a so-so meal in one last year but the bread! THE BREAD! Best flatbread ever. By a mile. Amazing stuff.

V went into another branch recently to check but the bread was completely different, nowhere near as good. It may be that I shall never taste that bread again :-(

[Berni]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

I'm no expert, but I love these, especially the Musar.

[Berni]

Chateau Musar is the best-known.

This is almost as old as I am

Will definitely by a bottle (or two), always welcome new wine

and you can't leave your hotel because Israeli fighter jets are buzzing the swimming pool area anyway, breaking the sound barrier on their way to ruin some poor unfortunate's day over the hills there, is it.

[Berni]

But the variation in quality is ridicules. Why should this be?

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

At Close Quarters (1987),

A diplomat and an Israeli master sniper plan to walk by night into the Beqa'a valley in east Lebanon, home of Palestinian revolutionary groups, in search of one man. They are far into the Beqa'a, out of reach, when their cover is blown and Syrian Intelligence alerted to their approach.

It was ace. This makes me wonder why I never read any more Gerald Seymour. Harry's Game must have been good, surely?

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

This Greek stuff, I would guess, was oilier than the usual.

[Berni]

and there was a good one about the war in Afghanistan (the Russian won)

[redgunamo]

considered polite to bring some with you from civilisation and offer it around.

[Nicosia Gooner]

[Berni]

And surely even an Israelite wouldn't be so gauche as to bomb a vineyard? :-(

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Now that would be galling.

[redgunamo]

for supplies. Booze is often forced to take a backseat to fags and cocaine :-|

War truly is hell, r. :-(
