Now.... strictly these links don't specifically, nor exclusively refer to the Middle East...but I couldn't help sharing them , cos I am certain you M.E. long termers have experienced the same ! Indulge me -- it's the New Year.

Who amongst us hasn't experienced what this blogger has been through, and wondered why we do this job?

Oh well, they made me laugh out loud, and hope they have the same effect on some of you too !

Enjoy...
