History and architecture might be interesting from a nostalgic perspective but it doesn't put food on the table.

Now when I want to see old architectural design I go to Disneyworld.

Well Disneyworld I suppose does have various worlds and architectural designs to satisfy all tastes. As said on a previous post anybody can jump on a plane and go and see this stuff on a holiday if that is there type of thing, you don`t have to live near it.

On other threads anybody like him would have been labelled "troll" long ago.
Why not this one ?

Of course it's trolling. As I say, it gives us some target practice, which is useful. You've gotta learn troll control somewhere and, obviously, you don't want to start off with anything too complicated.

Maybe not such a great idea after all. In fact I am too polite for anything like that

If you are a born and bred Brit the only way you can lose British citizenship is if you formally renounce it. It's a long bureaucratic process. Maybe your friend, like me, just let their British passport expire and not bother to renew it. It doesn’t mean they are not British, it just means that they cannot travel as Brits.

It is not the same for all immigrants. Many Asian nations do not recognize dual citizenship so once they get a Canadian passport they lose their right to travel to, and live in, their native countries.

you can in fact call me a trollop- I don't care because my comments are not in dispute but yours. I was only briefly part of this thread because I was curious to see how you had been responded to.

I now know and it will not lead to a juicy ban as you say . I am above such notions -though you may still believe. More fool you.

Thought you were giving the general cry for all to ignore me. You certainly lead by example don`t you? Didn`t the ignore button work either? Give it another push sweetie;)

What do you know? Been in touch with Big Brother have we or in this case better said Big Sister? Got a hotline to the top eh;) Best to try to keep on your good side now eh;).

LOL Sorry just seen your post, so please disregard mine too.

And I think you will find, if you had been bothered to read my follow up post to you a few posts after. I actually said sorry for the error. Or would you like me to say sorry once more?

When I officially put you on ignore you did not know about it as it is not comunicated on this website.

Unfortunately the "ignored" people remain ignorant and do not know they are on ignore, There is no official or friendly warning.


You could be ignored by a 100.000 people ...... they would no longer receive notices of your posts ! You would not know you were being ignored.
