Misscanada,

"Bloody good time"?? At Sharjah???

But does remind me of an advert for the RAF in the media in the 60s, which showed a young LAC (SAC?) packing to go on a new posting. The caption said "I'm going to Gan, the RAF's own island in the sun!". Apparently, when he actually got there, he was met by a guard of honour, who boo'd him off the flight. He didn't have a very good year by all accounts!
