I have a few lucky tales from living there. Me and my best mate went to visit a viewing post on the other side of the Jordan river, next to where we lived, both hanging and sweating in 38*+ heat, as we make our way we somehow went off track, and as we go further we see the back of a wooden sign stuck in the ground, about 100 yards away, so we head over to see what it says, it read
Warning!
Land mines!
Do Not Cross!
We used the path on the way back.
I also went to a Pirate & Prostitute fancy dress party, and was trashed, so I got the only key for the gaff off my mate, and headed home. Only when I get home I have NO key! No idea what happened and desperate to get to bed, I punch the window mesh out and climb in the window, crash out, my mates get back and climb through the window because they can’t wake me. We wake up in the morning and I realise I lost the key, but have no idea where or when, my mates are going nuts at me, so I head out to the place in the desert where we had the party, and just as I get to the gate leading on to the road I spy a shiny silver object, a key. I still didn’t know if it was mine or not but I thought it was worth a try. I get back slide the key in the door and it opened to cries of “ You jammy bassa TQ3!”
Good times.
