Or was it his seeming inability to distinguish between “Islamist” and “Islamic” when he strayed off script during a speech he delivered in Saudi Arabia, a mistake he blamed on exhaustion, though he had only recently left home?Most people, I ima... less

I even, on occasion forgot to remind her of stuff... mainly cos I knew she was reliable and on the ball... There are others though who I have bent over backwards and suffered to help.. yet they don't seem in the least bit grateful.. Not that I expect them to - just seeing them achieve what they need to is reward enough.. but don't you think it's odd that it isn't those people who are the most grateful? less
