These are dire times where the price of cumin has increased ten-fold. We may well have to return to our original plans and dabble too in slavery. This should significantly reduce our overheads and allow us to export spices with greater efficiency. Cinnamon is notoriously expensive and the use of slaves in our other spice sectors will be used to reduce the cost of these whiffy sticks.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585109091882842216.post-37678773078929188782008-08-03T16:34:00.005+01:002008-12-13T08:57:32.537+00:00The Planning - Day Two<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5KR9bp6eaWajSdC3ds8r7_dqJo56a0GmFsLlobC9kjS5WuAs7RagFg9HbrYYP0g8Qh873JKnQ3WMpUwlzjYE7XsO-BPHhnBI_pDczc-iiYp9Z9Q0E6uoA98bAh0xfX7BHW4MlsHRS9qk/s1600-h/IMG_0303.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5KR9bp6eaWajSdC3ds8r7_dqJo56a0GmFsLlobC9kjS5WuAs7RagFg9HbrYYP0g8Qh873JKnQ3WMpUwlzjYE7XsO-BPHhnBI_pDczc-iiYp9Z9Q0E6uoA98bAh0xfX7BHW4MlsHRS9qk/s400/IMG_0303.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5232959199812039250" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyuDSHFlUEbLLw4PwN47zT-1sARwVP3AbWOTraxxLJ-iBP4OrB83NF6lgN3zAsYtY9fGWnwIDuy1EHC8t7sKri4TtnDbXr7TXd5YZBfWHqIfhHpZKmHFlqzuwwaRqxADjdsW-DFfqUqLA/s1600-h/IMG_0289.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyuDSHFlUEbLLw4PwN47zT-1sARwVP3AbWOTraxxLJ-iBP4OrB83NF6lgN3zAsYtY9fGWnwIDuy1EHC8t7sKri4TtnDbXr7TXd5YZBfWHqIfhHpZKmHFlqzuwwaRqxADjdsW-DFfqUqLA/s400/IMG_0289.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5230316344733748162" border="0" /></a><br /><br />After looking at the photos down the central spine of the <span style="font-style: italic;">Lonely Planet </span>we decided a dress rehearsal was in order.

The only map of Morocco we could find was UN issued, so we'll mainly be visiting bunkers, missile test sites along with the odd school, university and hospital. We've got the <span style="FONT-STYLE: italic">Rough Guide </span>and <span style="FONT-STYLE: italic">Lonely Planet </span>so we're covered to the hilt with <span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">all </span>eventualities covered. We're at the stage of visas and jabs, but it's a hassle. Health isn't an issue, we're going for a spiritual experience.<br /><br />The height of our plans to date has been to buy a job lot of moustaches off eBay and take them as hand luggage. John wants to take his rifle as he's been invited to a game shoot with a sultan called Roger.<br /><br />Back to working weekend...we're going for a sandwich.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585109091882842216.post-72034103790329965772008-07-21T19:07:00.000+01:002008-07-21T19:11:41.336+01:00The flights are booked...all we must do now is formulate business plans and combine manifestos.
