        For money my friend, for money.

        A country that has to pay to have foreigners is as successful as a man who has to pay to have sex.
        I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.

          Are you telling us that you've never paid to have sex Francko (in a roundabout sort of way - indeed have you ever actually had sex, paid for or gratis) ?

            agreed. Although a man who has to leave his homeland for more pay, then pay for sex, is about as successful as a country that has rubbish and rats piled eight feet high in the streets

                  As an expat of 7 years...

                  1. Fish and chips
                  2. Reasonably priced, widely available, takeaway food.
                  3. Customer service
                  4. By and large, most inhabitants speak English
                  5. Marmite
                  6. Good quality tea in big boxes for not much cash
                  7. Cheap paracetemol, ibuprofen and aspirin
                  8. Bitter
                  9. Cheese
                  10. Crisps
                  11. Cats eyes on the roads
                  Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

                    Sure. Your sister/mum were quite cheap.

                    Just a joke, man, sorry could not resist, no pun intended...

                      My Sister AND my MUM,

                      Well, lets hope you can make the required deposit in my numbered Swiss Bank Account, you rouge!
