    If you're not Indian, you're sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo banned. But you're a bad boy. Don't do it again.

    Oh, and your email will be reported to Amazon if $100 isn't deposited in the account number I've PM'd you by the end of the week. But don't worry, that'll be the last of it. Honest. And I'm not even Indian.

    I haven't heard locally Mr Dhesi is corrupt, other candidates suggested he was a sound chap.
    Some suggestions from south Asian builders the planning authority is.
    The council is definitely incompetent.
