Landrovers?! This place is Landrover heaven! For day to day running about, I usually take the Discovery LR3 V8SE (£43.000 to you Madam)For slightly rougher jobs it has to be the good old 110 CSW, but when its a bit dicey (I.e. downtown Basrah)a Snatch is your best friend!! As for keeping dry, this may be a desert, but by god does it rain out here, and on one occasion hailstones the size of golf balls!

As for bringing the hound out here, he brought himself! The little sod smuggled himself in my camera bag, and the mess in the mess?! Is all his own work, hence the one way chat with the RSM!

Its just about 09:00 GMT as I write this, and whilst its snowing in the UK, its a very sunny and warm 26 degrees C today! But I'd still rather be at home with the beautiful Pixie!

Wassail!! Chris
