    Exactly, no restriction law is going to stop that anyway.

    Rape charge immigrant skips bail

    Police are hunting a Romanian man who has skipped bail on charges of rape.

    Vasilica Potolinca, 22, has not been seen since 14 September when he was released on bail from HMP Barlinnie.

    The 22-year-old, who has been living in Scotland illegally for about five months, had been on remand at the Glasgow prison since 31 August.

    It is thought Mr Potolinca, who had been living in Stirling, may be in the London area - although he also has connections across Scotland.


    Our officers are obviously extremely keen to speak to anyone who knows where Mr Potolinca is or if they have seen him over recent weeks

    Mr Potolinca has been working as a labourer on construction sites in Stirling.

    He also worked in Linlithgow, Elgin and Edinburgh and may have connections in the Glasgow area.

    Mr Potolinca was released from Barlinnie Prison after being bailed at the High Court in Edinburgh on 14 September.

    He had been on remand since 31 August after appearing at Stirling Sheriff Court.

    Det Insp Brian Johnston, of Stirling CID, said: "Extensive investigations are being carried out to trace Mr Potolinca's movements and whereabouts.

    "Our officers are obviously extremely keen to speak to anyone who knows where Mr Potolinca is or if they have seen him over recent weeks.

    "I would urge them to make sure they contact us immediately. They can be reassured that any information provided will be dealt with in the strictest confidence."

    Perhaps they prefer living somewhere where they speak a language they understand . . . .


    Like French or Italian ......

    Your friend,

    The Romanian Viktor
    It's quite amazing also how similar romanian is to italian. Many romanians learn italian in days, and most of them they speak like a native speaker in matter of months. For an italian to speak romanian is more difficult mainly for the structure of the pronounciation. However, even without any knowledge I can still read and get the basic meaning of a paragraph.

    Wow expat I see that you are so interested in learning the Romanian language. Super news pal, maybe I can give you some lessons in private...
    As a first light lesson, take for example the similarities between English and Romanian, such as "stupid" which has the same meaning in both languages. By comparative linguistic analysis we can conclude that this immortal attribute of the human being remains the same no matter your "fuk eu" status...
    On a slightly more complicated approach, I can give you some basic limericks around your already known words. So your "fac eu" example should be expanded towards the more comprehensive "vreau eu" which stands for "I wish". Take into account that in Romanian many words are spelled in reverse, for example EU for European Union is in fact UE in Romanian, as in "Uniunea Europeana". So our words become "vreau ue"; but we have two vocals in between, so in slang we should say "vreau (m)ue" as the Romanian translation for "I wish". Please apply this very first lesson next time when you met a Romanian.

    Your friend,

    The Romanian Viktor

    started a topic Romanians do it

    Romanians do it

    Can't wait for Romanians to start working here. Imagine a Romanian worker being told to do something: he'd probably reply "I do" which in Romanian is "fac eu"....
Working...
