Sir Bartholomew in Kuwait - 1938

We've been blessed with oil. I've been telling my friends that our attitude should be to improve ourselves rather than taking it for granted. Then we started imagining how life would be for us without oil. It was one depressing thought. Our education sucks, health care is worse than death and many of our people are shallowly into useless trends. We need to change all that and improve. We've nothing to offer to the world but oil, without it we'd be like Botswana, (whatever Botswana is).

Just for fun, I made up a conversation that would've took place in 1938, had the Brits not discover Petroleum in Kuwait:

Sir Bartholomew: Goodness Gracious, it's rather blistering here, don't you say Nigel?

Nigel: Indeed your Excellency.

Sir Bartholomew: What's up with these bloody Bedouins in that bloody Dish-Dash of theirs.

Nigel: I reckon they took it from the Scots, Sire.

Sir Bartholomew: So what's the word lad? Did we find anything?

Nigel: Owt Sire, only sand, lots of it.

Sir Bartholomew: Are you indicating I'm in the back and beyond for donkey's year being courteous with those barbaric pillocks for naught Nigel?

Nigel: Bob's your uncle Sire.

Sir Bartholomew: That's Gormless! Crikey Nigel - It appears like we've naught to pinch from this pig's ear. We've no need for them.

Nigel: Shall I address Her Majesty's Navy to annihilate them Sire?

Sir Bartholomew: Dear God, no Nigel, they smell like cabbage. Let them go to rack and ruin in their dessert.

Nigel: Jolly good then. Pip pip cheerio and all that rot Kuwait!

In other words, the world isn't being nice to us "3ashan suwad e3yoona". The world can only take so much bullshit before it loses it. So lets not be self centered and lets make our country proud.

P.S. As much as I'm fascinated with the British Language - YES! For me, it's a different language - I've no knowledge nor understanding of it. Also, as much as I tried, I can't get a hold of the accent. (But I can master Hic, Chinese & Jamaican so that ought to make up for it). :P

P.S.S. No offense intended towards the United Kingdom and Botswana as countries, governments and as citizens. I was just trying to make a point.
