    I've drunk tea with them in Mali, they seemed pleasant enough despite the weaponry they sport.

    That would all change if you parked across their driveway.

    Not if they drive VW Touaregs - they would just push my Audi out of the way! Though the only time I have driven abroad was in Kenya - they drive on the left there.

    Always wondered if they got royalties off of Volkswagen.

    Maybe so since they never used another tribal name. I mean there was no Volkswagen Brummie or Volkswagen Scouser was there? Which is a shame in a way.

    brilliant , you have to watch them otherwise you might end up in Timbuktu !!
    ou might slip, you might slide, you might
    Stumble and fall by the road side
    But don't you ever let nobody drag your spirit down
    Remember you're walking up to heaven

    Don't let nobody turn you around
    … Walk with the rich, walk with the poor
    Learn from everyone, that's what life is for
    And don't you let nobody drag your spirit down

    I've visited Timbuktu, didn't know what to expect but was pleasantly surprised.

    There's a lovely mosque there, built from mud bricks. You can go inside, unlike the more famous one at Djenne.

    But sadly Mali is off-limits at the moment; it's just too dangerous. A shame, because the Festival of the Desert used to be held in Timbuktu.
