There seems to be an element of English society that has a problem with race ... I don't think they would feel very much at home in Canada.
Perhaps this thread does have a use after all.

I lived near to Birmingham, Dudley to be exact in the West Midlands for 5 years
All I got was constant grief from the brummies, F**k off you jock Bast**d get back over the wall where you came from etc etc !!!!!!!
Dont get me wrong it was the minority on these tits that caused me grief. I had a great time down there, and I still keep in touch with friends that we left there.
My wife lost count the amount of times I was fighting with these guys because of this.
And this coming from your own country. MMMMMMMMMM It beggars belief
Anyway my tuppence !!!!

habit of farting loudly every morning when he awoke.
The noise would wake his wife and the smell would make her
eyes water and make her gasp for air.
Every morning she would plead with him to stop ripping them
off because it was making her sick. He told her he couldn't stop
it and that it was perfectly natural. She told him to see a doctor;
she was concerned that one day he would blow his guts out.
The years went by and he continued to rip them out! Then one
Thanksgiving morning as she was preparing the turkey for
dinner and he was upstairs sound asleep, she looked at the
bowl where she had put the turkey innards and neck, gizzard,
liver and all the spare parts and a malicious thought came to her.
She took the bowl and went upstairs where her husband was
sound asleep and, gently pulling back the bed covers, she
pulled back the elastic waistband of his underpants and emptied
the bowl of turkey guts into his shorts.
Some time later she heard her husband waken with his usual
trumpeting which was followed by a blood curdling scream and
the sound of frantic footsteps as he ran into the bathroom.
The wife could hardly control herself as she rolled on the floor
laughing, tears in her eyes!
After years of torture she reckoned she had got him back pretty
good. About twenty minutes later, her husband came downstairs
in his bloodstained underpants with a look of horror on his face.
She bit her lip as she asked him what was the matter. He said,
"Honey, you were right." "All these years you have warned me
and I didn't listen to you."
"What do you mean?" asked his wife.
"Well, you always told me that one day I would end up farting my
guts out, and today it finally happened. But by the grace of God, some
Vaseline, and these two fingers, I think I got most of them back in."
BOOM BOOM WILLMORE
IS THIS OKKKAYYYYY

Re: vancouver advise.for people wanting to move here
Hey everyone I'm new to all this so pls be gentle with me :scared: hehe After reading 7 pages so far of gripping bitching I thought I'd join in and see if I can get some info off you guys.
I'm planing a visit to Vancouver in Feb 05 to stay with my boyfriend for a month and so on every other month after that. I have heard some really nice things about Van (chinese ppl included ) and cant wait to get there. We will be looking for a house and from Aug 05 I want to move there permanently but we are having trouble finding out exactly what we have to do to make this happen. I know I can only stay for 183 but does that include the months I just "visit" or is that an added extra ? Also if I do move there can I skip over the border for a few days and then come back for another 183 days or is that just wishful thinking cos it's so easy to do ??
I want to work while I am there obviously and so with a new job and house I dont really want to leave it behind for too long if I dont really need to. Failing all that anyone want to put me up and hide me in their basement....all offers considered
Any help would be really appreciated and please forgive me if I'm a lil slow getting to grips with this as I put the B in Blonde hehe

Maybe I'm wrong in thinking understanding cultural differences is more important than where to purchase cans of beans.
