Good to hear from you Mike. You're right though, we need more Kurds on board, they kick ass and know what they're doing and saying!

Changing the subject slightly I was looking closely at one of my many dinar notes. Now I've said this before, why would there have been so many bank jobs and robbers stealing worthless money? Why would you risk jail for a currency worth nothing!?

Also, looking at the notes, why would they have spent so much on a reprint with so many security features on notes that are worth bugger all????

Answers on a postage stamp to the Rolclub Forum...........winner will be picked out by Neno and get a free weekend for 2 in Baghdad, LOL.
