So I am right.
A foreigner who becomes a Turkish citizen for the blindingly obvious reasons you mentioned doesn`t have to do military service. |

Or the old English Fast contracts that forbade prosletysing or the Intercourse contracts that forbade dating the students. |

I thought everyone had agreed to not correct spelling here. You don`t do it to others so why do it to me. Look over your last six posts and you will find a number of spelling mistakes or is that errors? I can never remember what the tefl nazis say about this. Have the decency to delete your post and I will do the same. |

Yea your right they don't call up thoses from the west. I know pople from Bosina(is that right) who came over during the war as teenagers and now have to do their service. As did an Ozbek teacher who married a local and became a citizen. So theres little chance of it happening to us, yet it can happen. |

31, I wasn't commenting on your spelling. You used a word I had to look up. I guess my sense of humour sometimes gets lost on this forum. |

Why didn`t you read your Fast contract before you signed it? |

The Fast contracts always had a paragraph forbidding prosletyzing (How do you spell it?) amongst other things. You said you had to look the word up-implying you didn`t know the meaning, OK? I also remember the Fast contract saying they supplied bedding but when during my time there there was just a mattress on the floor and no bed. I was too skint and afraid of being sacked to demand a bed. |

When I left the Fast me and a mate stole as much as we could from the flat and from the school. We also sabotaged as much as we could of the tests etc. It all seems unbelievably petty and childish now but we were really fed up at the time with the pay and our treatment. What happened to the beds then? Did you smash them up at one of your house parties? |

we seem to have had different experiences. I left the Fast on reasonably good terms. didn't have to smash up a flat and got everything I was promised. |

I got everything too but only after we faxed Nazif Bey and he came down and the local manager got sacked for incompetence. Just for the record I never smashed anything up but what happened to the beds? |

Just out of interest. What's the latest on Nazif Bey? How is his Kurdish school doing? |
