I've lived in several countries and in several cities in the UK, so I'd like to add my experiences to the mix. First, I have found there to be an element of racism everywhere I've lived. Living in France exhausted me because I had to constantly defend myself from anti-English prejudice. Italy wasn't anti-English, but general racism is far greater there than in France or the UK. Spain (Barcelona) is much the most tolerant country I've lived in. Thailand and Cambodia are altogether different: first, they dislike eachother with a passion, but where they are united is in their general contempt for all black people (which is odd since their music of choice is rap or diva-soul). As a white 'farang (westerner)' you are generally well-regarded, but largely because you are assumed to be wealthy. Because you are treated so differently from the locals, you live in a sort of bubble. I actually liked living there, but I don't think you can ever assimilate 100% unless you're small and skinny, poor and passportless, and totally fluent.
Getting bigger mate. All dressed up in imported clothes from the uk. She'll be coming over by the end of the year hopefully.
my grandsons 7th next Wednesday, got him the full kit to wear at Hibs next Saturday then for his first derby game. Getting back to the OP I have been to all his birthday partys but banned from this one, for 7 year olds only, boys and those girl things, they grow quicker these days.
So you taking him abroad then. 7 Great for him to be going to the games, hopefully he'll see more sucess with the club than most of us.
It was my youngest boys eleventh birthday yesterday, and it doesn't seem two minutes since he was just a baby! Time just seems to go by quicker as I'm getting older...
Lorne sausage, you'd be amazed how much i used to sell of it, when i ran the import company here,it just doesn't look right.
I'm 45. Definitely dislike all the chronic rules & regulations, taxation, lad/ladette culture, snobbery (traditional and inverted), mass urbanisation, brain-numbing bin collection schemes, obsession with status symbols (cars, house prices, branded goods), cRAP music, cost of transport, paprika crisps, vodka, spitty-gummy pavements, youth and celebrity obssessed, out-of-town shopping mall SOCIETY we live in today. Only problem is it's not just the UK. Every country seems to be following the same route....except maybe NZzzz. Maybe it's my age?
not my fault she blew you out it flies past mate My lady is from Glasgow and she prefers ours think he may have been joking disco I think I understand now we have all had our say, we are all racist in a tolerant way with non prejudicial prejudice towards anyone and everyone but an acceptance of all. And of course we all have a total impartiality to bigotry. but aparI think I understand now we have all had our say, we are all racist in a tolerant way with non prejudicial prejudice towards anyone and everyone but an acceptance of all. And of course we all have a total impartiality to bigotry. but apart from that you are happy I know my limitations
