They said on the news that the CIA is talking to the Taliban and that 'negotiations are going well'

This intrigues me.

They're not notably emotive people are they?

If you were negotiating with Russians, say, and the ice was melting, they might offer you some vodka, hug you or give you a hearty slap you on the back.

But how does a Taliban express bonhommie? How do they relax?

"Come on, let's take a break for five minutes and stone some ladies!"

Are there any Taliban readers that can help?

I am reminded of Miriam Margoyles in Blackadder II- 'Wicked Child!'

They take off their false beards and fake turbans (held on by a piece of elasticated string under the chin) for a good scratch. If you witness that, you're in.

Maz - are you part of the the negotiating team? Hold on is that you AND Jen at the front?

I have every confidence that were Jen and I in Afghanistan, we would have been stoned long ago. In any and every sense.

Absolutely.
Plus all those naughty Taliban would have been sent to bed after being told to tidy the playroom properly.

As soon as Mary and Jeni get involved, the advert bar switches to sushi. Inspirational.

I've got an ad for livingsocial.
Not a mention of sushi anywhere.
Have you been searching for 'dodgy Japanese' again Id?

Again Id, must be your own searches causing that.
I've now got an ad for fish pedicures.

I've got a lot of stuff about Tea, biscuits, and ladyboys. Should I change my browser settings or my lifestyle? I blame Sugartits69.

Mary, I'm guessing your the sort of girl who instinctively turns left when you get on a plane?

I always turn left when I get on a place.

But that's because I get on backwards. It's free that way.

Some fish must have had feet many millions of years ago when they crawled out of the primeval swamp to flop, gasping and bemused, upon the land. Much like Wayne Rooney.
