Hemingway -- Is it any wonder , with the attitude that you display , in your post , which I am reading , Hemingtwat - Indian Law , is a legacy left by the British , and has not been changed , to my knowledge , I wonder about your level of comprehension , I once had to register a complaint with the British police , and without hesitation , once they had taken my complaint , they " registered " my complaint , and went looking for the guilty parties , Hemingway , they were unknown to me , never mind the police who came to aid me , === Why do you always take the mick out of India , at every opportunity --- It is not nice Hemingway , and , sarcasm is the lowest form of wit , not nice . Bagaboy is not happy

Bagaboy, what do you think the Indian Government is for, can you really believe that after gaining freedom from British rule they did not make changes to the laws in India. We have all come across Indian police at road blocks collecting 'fines' for ignoring infringements of Indian law. Are you trying to suggest that the Indian police operate to the same standards as the British police which are normally very high?

I can assure you Bagaboy the Indian police force work in a totally different way to any police force in the world, they are corrupt just like the government here only wanting to fill their own pockets and the law dosent come into any of their daily routines.
You buy yourself into the police force same as the government officals, so they have to take bribes to recover their expenses/loans for getting into the force and their wages are crap so thats the only way they can make money.

This is not the first time we have had to suffer this sort of rubbish from you. Your comparisons between India and the UK are typical of someone from India who has spent many years enjoying the benefits of their adopted country and now looks at their original nation through rose-tinted glasses.
Your criticism is quite unacceptable, and your defence of India is ridiculous. The entire country is sinking into chaos, with corruption and violence ruling the roost. To make comparisons with the "system" in the UK is ludicrous.
Lets face it, you come here for a holiday, then scuttle off back to good old safe, clean England and launch your tirade from there,
Try living here long term like we do. Its damned hard work, on a daily basis.
Your insulting language to Hemingway is in contravention of forum rules, as well as common decency. Would you please apologise immediately or we will consult the Moderators on this.
Please note............no sarcasm, no insults, and hopefully no gibberish!

Thanks J5 - I'll give "Baga Boy" a few hours to apologise & then I'll report the post to the mods & hopefully get it removed - the word included in BB's amendment to my user name, is in my opinion 2nd only to the 'C' word in terms of how offensive it is - I've often had to deal with 'individuals like BB & without exception find that they resort to profanities & expletives purely down to their lack of basic human decency, intelligence, intellect & common sense. I've always found it best to completely ignore them, then they tend to go away sooner than if you take them on.

I could explain my humour regarding the newspaper article, but I really can't be bothered - as for BB being 'not happy' - I really couldn't care less about that either.

As for sarcasm, I like sarcasm, it's funny - "sarcasm is the lowest form of wit" - "but the highest form of intelligence" - said the blind man, to his deaf wife, who wasn't really there. . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Are you surprised - probably swine flu to blame now

children children - things in britain are dreadful at the moment and as i a said before, if you are a bit down over there you will be suicidal over here.

interestingly, i phoned for a pension forecast the other day and she asked me if i have ever lived abroad and was i planning to in the future.

someone we know, told the hearing aid people he couldnt make an appointment for 6 months as he would be in goa and when he came back they promptly charged him as he was classed as an overseas visitor.

after all they still pay taxes in the uk and are NOT using the n.h.s. so in effect they are saving the government money but are treated like this, its despicable. ive known for 40 years the nigerians come over here to have their babys on our nhs in our hospitals and dont get charged.

I think I'm the only one left out here at the moment, and I'm not at all depressed, because........................

I'm coming home on Monday! For two whole months! Weeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

If you think its depressing in the UK, try living here for almost 10 months solid (1 short break for visas) and you will learn to appreciate a lot about dear(sic) old Blighty, innit?

Goacrazy56

Hi J5 are you home sick hun!!!!?.I only had two weeks out there Im just back and I was home sick

SuckSeed

Well I am still out here, I shall be going back to the UK for a "holiday" for about 6/8weeks and to renew my visa in July. Next "holiday" will be at Xmas time for about a month.

noni

Lucky you have given up drinking and smoking! the prices here are stupid.
Don't forget to bring pressies back to Goa for the new babies. Matalan have a sale on a the moment.

johnny five

Quite so! I was planning on a little real ale during my time back in the UK, but am not so sure now. Soda water is looking a lot more affordable and I have grown to like it.

Thought I'd bring them back an eiderdown, they would have someting in common then?
