Correct. Within 24 hours they're bombing the Kurds. Who I don't think would be stupid enough to plant bombs in turkey. Not given they could be big winners in the peace settlement. The Turks though we know are ruthless.

Just read an article that states the turkish investigators have found her severed hand.

its amazing how they seem to find these things in all the destruction, i'm surprised they never found her indestructible passport!

then in the space between then and now the turkish airforce bomb targets (obviously pre planned)

i think they are trying to destabilize the peace talks to start something much bigger.

300 people in the space of how long, 6 months? Terrible.

Same reason you get blonde blue eyed Russians and Ukrainians.

I presume the bbc series and not the tedious bookstop or the 13 hour film.

I study languages and was aware already about the Russian names bit, but I had no idea it was due to an Icelandic influence. Thanks for that, very interesting. I think there was an example of a brother and sister and their differing names in War and Peace the other day.

Joke shows how agencies operate too.

She had a way of talking down to you. At the meetings with Gorbachev, gordievsky was the translator. But such a superior attitude.

â—¾The KGB, the FBI) and the CIA are all trying to prove they are the best at catching criminals. The Secretary General of the UN decides to set them a test. He releases a rabbit into a forest, and each of them has to catch it. The CIA people go in. They place animal informants throughout the forest. They question all plant and mineral witnesses. After three months of extensive investigations, they conclude that the rabbit does not exist. The FBI goes in. After two weeks with no leads they burn the forest, killing everything in it, including the rabbit, and make no apologies: the rabbit had it coming. The KGB goes in. They come out two hours later with a badly beaten bear. The bear is yelling: "Okay! Okay! I'm a rabbit! I'm a rabbit! "

Here's one for you.

â—¾A hotel. A room for four with four strangers. Three of them soon open a bottle of vodka and proceed to get acquainted, then drunk, then noisy, singing, and telling political jokes. The fourth man desperately tries to get some sleep; finally, in frustration he surreptitiously leaves the room, goes downstairs, and asks the lady concierge to bring tea to Room 67 in ten minutes. Then he returns and joins the party. Five minutes later, he bends to a power outlet: "Comrade Major, some tea to Room 67, please. " In a few minutes, there's a knock at the door, and in comes the lady concierge with a tea tray. The room falls silent; the party dies a sudden death, and the prankster finally gets to sleep. The next morning he wakes up alone in the room. Surprised, he runs downstairs and asks the concierge what happened to his companions. "You don't need to know! " she answers. "B-but. but what about me? " asks the terrified fellow. "Oh, you. well. Comrade Major liked your tea gag a lot. "
