Only in IRQ?

Some strange shit has been known to happen in Badgag and this must certainly be right up there as a top contender.

“I doubt any of us will live long enough to ever see, either literally or figuratively, the lion lie down with the lamb here in the Middle East. But, ever the optimist, I take it as a hopeful sign when the kitty can dine with the hedgehog”. -MCP (photographer)

Saving Grace – Movie Review

SavingGrace

Genre: Comedy

The plot: Saving Grace is about a small-town English widow, facing financial troubles after her husband's death, decides to grow weed to make ends meet.

My 5c worth: Fantastic. I love a good comedy. It’s quite honestly one of the funniest movies I've seen in a long time. Its jam packed with excellent British humour (most of which we had to translate for our dear American friends) and some hilarious witty comments. If you understand British humour you will piss yourself! It’s not an overly complicated story line which suited me just fine after a gruelling day at the office. Definitely worth a watch even if it’s just for a Sunday night kick back on the couch. An unconfirmed comment was made at the viewing: “This movie is even better if you spark up just as you hit play”. I'm not quite sure what was meant by that (??).

Rating: 9/10 (a must see) 

Viewing Conditions: Outside with a projector and portable speakers. 10 – 12 people present. After dark (+- 9pm). Continuous interruptions from Blackhawks, Pumas and Chinooks landing next door. Loads of booze.

Slinkies

Some people out here are like Slinkies – not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you see one tumble down the stairs.
