You seriously have to question some peoples thought processes.

It appears that unless you say exactly what they want to hear and nothing else you are completely wrong and should shut up.

Thanks for that.

Actually the 'honour' killing on the court steps was in Pakistan!!! A different country. (I know you knew that) and it does happen in India and UK also.
The difference being there is a general 'outcry' and investigation.

Do we have any expats in Pakistan contributing to the Forum in general? That would be interesting.

Not in general but in some of the immigration areas.
I doubt they would be in a frame of mind to comment as their focus will be on emigrating , just as it is for all of us with a view to moving very far away.

Bipat I do not think you need worry anymore about the *odd " views from some of your protaganists.
Some are no longer around, or will not post on TIO.

Bit of a shame this has happened. It's going to make the Spain forum so quiet.

I was away for a while came back and couldn't find any of the interesting threads. Then realised that about 15 of them had been moved to this TIO forum, which I had never even heard of. What's that all about ! Maybe it's an attempt to kill off the Spain forum as we are too outspoken :-(

Spain was an anomaly though in being given its own version of TIO. Previously, all country forums came to TIO to have those kinds of discussions.

Just to clarify, I moved about 4 threads .... not 15. Unless they've been multiplying behind my back. I blame the sangria :D

That sort of thing happens in the Anomaly you know.

Apparently, things also go a bit green.

That Anomaly has a lot to answer for. I also blame it for global warming, and the rising cost of Jammy Dodgers

Sue, you've been away too long it's Jammie Dodgers. Can you get them over there?

Just wondering like but do miss or can you get things like Fig Rolls, Abbey Crunch. Gypsy Creams, Chocolate Bourbons, Ginger Nuts etc. ?

Personally I don't get the appeal of a 'cookie' Too soft, too big and stale next day.

and we will take a short pause in proceedings for an advertising break.

many/most things are available via British Corner Shop (haven't seen their ad here recently). Yes it is more expensive than nipping to your local Morrison's but quite honestly I buy most of the locally made alternatives.
Just really miss a mint chocolate bar since Mercadona stopped selling them. Presumably because they weren't selling. Except they always seemed to be running out.

Jeez there ought to be a law against posting such huge piccies.:sneaky:

We find that the teckies have carried out a planned maintenance visit, buggered it all up, left us with a super slow website - and yet they still allow piccies of that size.

no justice in life
:(
