I spoke to chap from Pakistan yesterday evening...

[Mich the Tester]

Very nice fellow, drives an old racing green Daimler and he's running a business here in Holland. He says he's quite an Anglophile, offered me one of his Havanas and said in that upper class subcontinent accent 'you know Mich, Britain is really a wonderful country with only one real problem; Gordon Brown'.

What a thoroughly informed and enlightened fellow.

When he does (I'm sure he has just been busy) would you please ask him to stand for election here?

Yeah, ask him why he can't sort out his own terrorism problems too!

My wife said one of the other mums at kids school is from paki stan.

But she tells everyone that she from india, she says she is ashamed to admit she is from a country that breeds terrorists.

[thunderlizard]

But she's happy to send her kids to school in one?
