Save it for the crowd I was referring too eh?

CB goes off muttering 'bloody newbies' trying to piss me off when I'm having a good day, picking a fight where there isn't one. Jeez. Wannabees.

........before engaging their brain.

Now go and argue with the crowd I was referring to and leave me the heck alone.

Er.. no. I lived in London during bomb scares and was afraid to open my mouth at times because I had people come up to me and say things such as I've already quoted. I don't know how old you are but I'm talking nearly 20 years ago around the time of the bombs in Warrington and right up to Canary Wharf. Things have changed and moved on over the last 10 years but there's a hell of a lot of Irish people who would say the same as me. And, I wasn't saying it to be a drama queen - it was just the way it was and you just had to keep your head down at times and get on with it.

We are coming to live in NZ and certainly a contributory factor is that NZ has such a low Muslim population. The problems that Muslims cause in Europe and much of the world will dramatically increase over the years. I very much hope that Islam will remain very small in NZ.
Hi,i think the UK play up the Muslim thing to the British people,ie none Muslims,i myself, have nothing to do with Muslims,but i think they have had bad press in the UK from mainly jewish owned news papers,im not against anyone,and i think most Kewis are like minded,so dont worry there is not realy any problems here,Regards Norman.

You can't just jump from one place to another to avoid a certain type of person can you? ??? It's all one big world and whether we like it or not we are all responsible for what goes on in it and nowhere is immune cos it's people that make it what it is.

What strikes me about religion is that everyione says their one is the best, the truth when all we've got to do is be good to each other every day.
