Khalid, why do feel that Paki is an offensive word? I never get that! I don't mind being called a Brit and I refer to people as Yanks and Aussies. It's just a word. You shouldn't be offended by it.

You know bm, I used to think the same thing about the word 'Paki'. I always thought what the big deal about it, until I was called a Paki by a rude british man in Dubai and it felt really awful. It's not just the word, it the hatred behind it. I'm sorry to hear that Khalid. Unfortunately there are ...

Bora, wasn't rudeboy saying that black men call each other nigga? I'm not that familiar with the US but I have heard the rappers use the word 'nigga' frequently. That's not to say I would use it to any black person, of course. I don't think he was saying he would use it.

MCL I worked for the USAF in the 70's. Although RAF Mildenhall has the status of an RAF base, it has always been the home of the USAF. Are you sure it was the RAF that did the recce to Libya? I would dispute your claim that we can only have pride in the Gurkhas. We have some fine regiments in the Br...

if I were you, I would stay clear of Britain. it really isn't all that. I completely understand bm, that UK is now overpopulated that's why I would rather prefer going to Canada. But I do want to visit UK. I have heard that UK is a great place to visit, not to settle down. Would it really be so bad...

This evening, I have been in reflective mood listening to Nick Drake, a gifted musician who lived a tragic short life. :cry: I can't say I've ever heard of him Dillon, so I googled him, It led me to 'Life in a Northern Town' which, apparantly was written as a tribute to Nick Drake. References on wi...

The Libyan rebels (who are losing badly :) ) are now blaming the West for not doing enough at stopping the Libyan state in preventing an insurrection they, the rebels, are causing. This comes after these knuckleheads kidnapped seven British military/intelligence personnel who were there to assess t...

Hey Sage! Whats up with the East End?

What a strange tale ben! There are a number of points that don't ring true here. The first is that I don't know many Emiratis that would entertain a Filipina. The locals are known for their racism, and I'm afraid Filipinas come in slightly ahead of dogs. The second is that 'he often visited her flat...

BM was enjoying a chilled evening tonight and watching Eastenders on BBC1. For those not familiar with Eastenders, it is a light entertainment serial based on Albert Square, in the East End of London. Carol was about to spread the ashes of her youngest son Billie, who died of a drug overdose, a love...

Good morning Mahmoud! Did you enjoy my rant over the lack of Religious Education in British schools?

^^^How can you have too many cockneys? I love them lads!
Mi casa su casa, my home is your home!

Once again, the Great British taxpayer is ripped off by some so-called asylum seeker on the make. If there is any justice, this wench will spend some time banged up at the tax payer’s expense, and if we had any sense, she and her brood would be on the first plane back to Kabul. A refugee from Afghan...

Very funny Zubber. Contemporary artists like to show jesus gesturing like that - as if he's experiencing the holy spirit or showing someone how big the fish was that got away. Very brave BM - people have been killed for less. I suggest you take it down, it will upset people. I can't take it down, t...

I don't have a problem forgiving, but I never forget.

Revenge? Well that reminds me of a recent topic, 'Revenge, a Dish best Served Cold'.

I hope we can get the 59m votes we got when asked if DDS should be a moderator

Why was that the first thing I thought of ?!?!?!?!

It's still a seeping wound, I guess!

BM took some flexi time off yesterday and decided to visit her friend in the north-east for some R&R, we went on the lash. :drunken: I left work and took the A66, Penrith to Scotch Corner and wow, I have never seen fog like it! I couldn't see a hand in front of my face. Well I was ambling along,...

Oi Zonker! I can't see your link, I'm at work, what are you saying about Bristol?

Hells bells Zonker, I dunno what's up with BM? I actually read all of that. It's a bit above me, what's it all mean? Are you having a go at me or something? I never was very good at getting the meaning of poetry at school. I'm a plain speaker, me. :D I quite liked it tho'! Has that Rudyard Kipling g...

I don't agree with everything he says but it is well written by A.A. Gill who writes for the Sunday Times. In all the years I've read that paper I don't think I've ever read a positive thing about Dubai.

Wow! A musser quoting the bible! Whateva next?

Happy St Patrick's Day to you too Sage, from England, where we had fog, a touch of sun, hail, a bit of snow and not much wind (well I'm not admitting to any, anyway). Do you have Guiness in Ghana?

Thanks FD. I increased my intake of Council pop and Chocolate Orange segments and it worked wonders! I'm now on my second glass of Pino Grigio, I'm right out of Chardonnay!

Yes indeed we do have bottled Guiness in Ghana brewed at the Guiness Brewery in Kumasi, which is more ...
