Emigration is to go from
Immigration is to come to
Migration is either

I am emigrating from the UK, immigrating into Australia, migrating from one country to another (and generally going round in circles) :D

Re: Cut out and keep
 
Another spelling pedant! But congratulations, all I do is sit and shake my head rather than something constructive, like your list.
Are the old-fashioned mnemonics not taught now in schools? I remember:
"i" before "e", except after "c" (which makes a nonsense of the correct spelling of "weird') and:
There is, there are, there was, there were - T-H-E-R-E...........
Any more, anyone?

I'm not Irish either, support St Mirren (shut up :p , they used to be good), and my next door neighbour used to be Billy Thompson.

What d'ya mean you've never heard of him. He was Saint Mirrens goalie. He even played for Scotland (once, maybe twice :o ). Really good bloke, wonder what ever happened to him.

Anyway have a shuftie at this, it should interest you for..... well, maybe not interest.... ehhhm this should slow your computer down for 5 seconds

Billy played for a few clubs on leaving Saints, including Rangers. He is currently a coach at Ibrox, helping to bring on some of the younger goalkeepers, and appeared a few times on the TV programme Blue Heaven about the Rangers youth set up. ;)

Yeah, thats right he moved to Dundee U. I don't remember after that,. I just remember he was a dead sound guy with a couple of young kids. He autographed stuff for me after he got his first Scotland cap, his kids were a bit younger than me. Him and my uncle used to go boozing together. Whatever happened to him?

I feel a google search coming on :p

One thing that used to bug the hell out of me in the UK was how people would end their sentences in "me"....

Friends of ours in Oldham do it all the time and it just does not sound right no matter who says it in what accent!!
