I have to agree with biffinbridge, that Libya is much better place to work than the magic kingdom if you can get the same salary, especially regarding the work environment and people. You do not feel the �hidden� discrimination at work as in the magic kingdom.

Well, after the visit of Uncle Blair to Colonel Gadafi in his magic tent, now everything is easy for the Brits in the desert of Libya!
BTW, biffinbridge, is the Colonel still dreaming about setting-up a United Sates of Africa to counter-balance the USA?  |

That is all one can ask for as a teacher. And that is the reason SA will be always be a horrible place to teach [locals]. Well, at least for the next 100 years or so. |

I wonder if Trap's extreme bitterness about his personal situation manifests itself in the classroom?
I'd find it hard to imagine that it could not. |

True or not, what possible goal could you have in asking this? What possible difference could this make to you?
