Lived in Beni Suef, Egypt on-and-off for about 6 months. It had the distinction of being the poorest province / county / area in the world, as assessed by the WHO. I was working for a Japanese company, and we rented an 8-storey apartment building, one man per room, and still the sewage system couldn't cope. Then the Koreans moved in next door in an identical building, and put 4 men per room. Soon afterwards amoebic dysentry broke out.

Who was it who said earlier that you can't polish a turd, but you can roll it in glitter?

That's a wrong quote.

The correct quote is 'there is a turd on the end of Gary Glitter's knob'.

Do you seriously think they actually bother going to the bathroom?

What I meant was............ they don't bother going to the bathroom, as it's too much hassle to clamber over 38 people sleeping on the floor.

"Oh it's all right - there's a bare patch of floorboard - I'll go here......."
