What about ALIENS?:p

Re: Incomers.....
 

It's not as daft as it sounds. Years ago we had an aliens registration office and aliens were prohibited from living in the UK for more than three months.

But our colonial past meant that millions of Jamaicans, Pakistanis and Indians had free access to the UK. They've re-shaped our green isle and turned it into the multi racial paradise we have now (and I'm being serious).

It seems the EU and the influx of eastern Europeans winds us up, because they're only in the UK to feather their nests and don't intend to stay, returning to Poland or wherever when they've milked us dry.

The word Alien now refers to people from outer space, although it might be bent back into shape by Cameron and UKIP to mean the Jocks who hate Conservatives and Sassenachs with a passion.

Re: Incomers.....
 

Right, so from now on for Jocks read Aliens. :thumbup:

Having said that, for any Spanish having just seen a real big hairy one for the first time on a windy night, they'll likely already have come to that conclusion. :rofl:

Re: Incomers.....
 

& anyone not a US citizen is officially still an ALIEN as far as they are concerned

any US citizen living outside the US, married to a non-US citizen, when filing their tax returns has to declare that they are with an NRA - non-resident alien

Re: Incomers.....
 

Thank you problem sloved........from no on I will refer to "incomers" as "resident aliens"- I like that, if it is good enough for the Americans it is good enough for me.
Simples.

I hope this will bring harmony as I will not be using the offending word "incomer" from now on.

But on the off chance that some members do get offended by the term, well....what can I say.....you cant please everybody.

Thank you again for your input:thumbsup:

Re: Incomers.....
 

I don't know when it happened, but at some stage in life I must have turned soft. A nasty Moroccan beggar accosted my wife in the Mercadona car park yesterday while I was locking the car up. I rushed up to him and was about to do what I have always done in such a situation, but something stopped me.

I actually handed him a Euro coin instead.

I don't hate anyone any more - what a revelation. So when I saw the posts from Matt and Agoreira this morning, I actually smiled benignly.

If they were within reach I would have handed them a Euro coin each.

Re: Incomers.....
 

Or you could just lighten up!

(By the way, that applies to SOOOOOO many people on this forum!)

Re: Incomers.....
 

Can't stand folk that drive big flash motors.

It's not that I'm jealous, it's just that I hate having to go round all day breathing in their excess,smelly emisions. ;)

Re: Incomers.....
 

I still get tax requests from the American authorities for a small business venture many years ago. It's a small amount I have refused to pay on principle. The weird thing is that they have traced me to my present Spanish address, although my business was conducted from the UK, and I paid my UK taxes at the time.

I don't think I would have any rights as an alien in the US.

Re: Incomers.....
 

Depends what king of Mercedes it is

Sure a new, top of the range CL or E-series is pretty flash

But a 15 year old bog standard C-series is not.

Re: Incomers.....
 

Nah, I use that petrol additive and it runs clear. At least I use it for the MOT test.

Re: Incomers.....
 

I doubt they'd even let you in.

Best beef up your security, if they've tracked you down that far, you could even be on the CIA hit list. ;) :eek:

Re: Incomers.....
 

A 15 year old anything is almost certain to produce more emissions than a new huge 'gas guzzler'. Debate:sneaky:
