i can only wish the kids will grow up to be useful members of the society instead of developing into troublemakers.

The State pension system is means tested - the majority of British migrants will receive a pension from the UK which puts them above the limit to get an Aus pension.

I think that was quite clearly intended as a joke! I thought it was funny.

The fact that DM readers felt the need to go town with the negative ratings on it shows what a humorless bunch they are!

Only just watched that youtube clip - totally hilarious and love the eye roll he was doing. Reminds me of a Russell whats-his-face (blond one not Brand) skit where he sings about all the things DM says gives you cancer to we didn't start the fire. In fact, hang on...

What I find really disturbing... and what I'd like to bring to your attention... is the way her sleek hair has separated.

That's a really annoying thought.

What's also irritating is that one of her bra straps has slipped and is showing. And in her repetitious state she can't fix it up.

Btw, for those who care, channel nine news Brisbane is promoting that it is, tonight, doing a story with the big family Englishman.

I want to see how he's going to pay for all this...

Family benefits, should cover it well and truly, up to $9000 PER kid if you get A B and rent allowance.

I wonder if current affair or whatever the show 9 has, will have picked up on that little point.
