    A quarter of babies born in the UK now have a foreign mother or father, official figures revealed today.
    Hmm, my cousin has four. Is it Richard, Colin, Emily or Muhammed? I think it's Colin.

        Come on I don't think you can compare the two, if you’re a single man moving to Thailand you are obviously ugly as sin and a paedophile.

        Most of the crims that went to Spain live in Marbella attracted by the bling lifestyle, funny enough an ex chief of Thai police who was wanted for hundreds of murders used to live 200 yards away from my dad in Spain!
        Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

            '“People are now becoming more involved in the Spanish economy,” she says. “They are learning little bits of Spanish. It’s not a massive sea-change, but it is changing.”

            To be sure, there are still plenty of lobster-red lager boys sporting gold chains and tattoos on the Costa del Sol.'

            Hands up, you lobster-red lager boys sporting gold chains and tatoos.

            I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.
