http://maninantalya.blogspot.com/2013/04/the-bastardisation-of-roald-dahl.html
MANTALYA - An Englishman and experience of his life in Turkey. Monday, 15 April 2013. The bastardisation of Roald Dahl! Teaching your wife to drive and explaining the football off-side rule are infamously two things a husband must never undertake. In return, the wife should at no point disclose the complexities of a “pre-wash” and why shoes are as much needed as water for female survival! 8221; I solemnly looked at my wife and slowly picked up the phone without taking my eyes from her! 8220;……...

Now, I mention this as this week, saw another horrific murder of a woman in Turkey by the crime known as “Honor killing” – was there ever such a perfect oxymoron as this?
