How come scotty?
Did not your passport of Her Majesty states that Her Britannic Majesty's Secretary of State request and requires in the name of Her Majesty the Queen to allow the bearer (scotty!) to pass freely and without let or hindrance and to afford the bearer (scotty!) such assistance and protection as may be necessary?
It seems His Excellency Her Britannic Majesty's Ambassador did not follow the rules?  |

US embassy staff don't want to associate with their fellow Americans.
(Except for Marines at US Embassy in Abu Dhabi who welcomed fellow Yanks at "Chestys" bar). |

Dear Yasuke.
Because Marines are nice people and not snobbish. (P.S. Chesty's Bar - named after "Chesty" Puller).

Or... as in the case of Egypt, the marines had weekly parties where only young single females were welcome... for the usual reasons. (and it wasn't the "generosity" of their hearts)

Dear Rostom.
"Bob Bell's portrayal of Bozo the Clown captivated the hearts of audiences for many years. Children loved his acrobatics and the chances to win the games he devised. He loved to make people laugh and it was evident in every episode of his long-running television career. He gave every episode his full attention and even taught children to be good and not harm one another. He will always be remembered for the joy he gave people and the laughter he inspired."
Yup, as I said, nice people.
Regards,
John |
