With respect, Min, you also went to Spain as a considered move and not because you were on the run. Well, I'm assuming!

You are, however, a good example of an alien coming in and working your way. As I feel I am, here in Scotland. I've never claimed benefits, own my house, and eventually will draw a pension as I will have worked here 20 years by the time I retire. Once the Scots realized I wasn't English I've never been made to feel unwelcome

Ideal residents, yes, and not taking any jobs anyway from locals, instead you provide jobs and pour cash into the economy. My example of you having to speak Spanish was an idiotic one, sorry

And Z, picking up on something else you said - situations where the refugees turn and bite the hands that fed them and gave them shelter -

I know, Luke. SA whites could be in that position if some of the real zoomers actually got into power. People that I know, and you know, have real skills and abilities and are worth having, but are forced to pick up, pack up, and run, and would want to move to communities where there are already other Saffers to help them adapt as quickly as possible to their complete change in circumstances.

I'm still on the fence, I am, but if it was Saffers, I would be yelling for their acceptance and astonished that anyone could be blocking their way. It's a tricky and emotive situation.

Dedovix - not sure you intended to be on this blog, but you certainly lightened the moment

Always tricky ground for me to comment on people bringing their own traditions and cultures with them, coming from SA as I do. We took our religions, schools and cultures with us to Africa so I have a certain sympathy with anyone creating their own world in new countries. Hell, my own house has a lot of African stuff in it and on gala days the bunting I hang out contains the SA flag. I would be quite indignant if anyone told me I was Scottish now, and should only have the Saltire!

Yes, Z, I entirely agree about those jumping on the bandwagon. They are part of the reason I was so firmly on the fence, because the issues vanish into people's private agendas. I should say again though that Frankie Boyle's article didn't include that photo, I added it.

RE: "TIME IS TIGHT"

Nearly midnight here too. I shall go to bed wondering if there'll be a knock at the door at 1

Don't mind the dog. She only bites once, and it's pretty friendly. After that she'll be sweet as pie.

RE: "TIME IS TIGHT"

Candy, it was a GREAT answer, put it on Sola's blog, the best answer he got!

RE: "TIME IS TIGHT"

Wrong blog, Candy!

RE: "TIME IS TIGHT"

surely this one?

RE: Are you a Kisser?

Oh dear I do sound bossy. Story of my life.

RE: Are you a Kisser?

Peck on the cheek for Snoek
And time for a quick one for me before you lead Minerva away?

RE: Are you a Kisser?

Gies a kiss, then

RE: Are you a Kisser?

Well hell I am about to impress you so much you'll pass out. I can greet people (and order coffee) in 12 languages.

To be fair, I can't explain French kissing in any of them.

RE: "TIME IS TIGHT"

she's not saying anything at all if it isn't Minerva or me

RE: "TIME IS TIGHT"

Nope, not mad

But you can't really ask Minerva for her list without giving yours

RE: Are you a Kisser?

so what are the 3 languages you speak? I'm sure you got uber-excited when someone quoted in French on one of your blogs

RE: "TIME IS TIGHT"

Ha, Rob, haven't heard THAT in a while.

I set up a scenario on my blog. You're a great man for carrying a story along further ...

RE: Are you a Kisser?

Popping back in briefly - you want to know why it's called French kissing? Ask the Frenchwoman!

Tell him, Minerva.

RE: "TIME IS TIGHT"

Close enough. Which is more than you are

RE: Are you a Kisser?

yikes. Gone before this gets super-seamy!!!


May keep a cautious eye on it from a safe distance ...

RE: Are you a Kisser?

Eleg what??? I already said I do, I love deep passionate kisses! Just not in aisle #3 at the supermarket ... unless he insists. I do like a masterful man hungry for my kisses

RE: "TIME IS TIGHT"

Can you tango?

RE: Are you a Kisser?

Snoek, you are entirely right. And when you think where some of those tongues have been, yikes.

Stick to your guns. Most men are happy to settle for a peck on the cheek.

RE: "TIME IS TIGHT"

Well, I guess not me. I'm outside your age limits.

RE: Are you a Kisser?

Snooks - NEVER?

RE: Are you a Kisser?

Sola - you're a man for deeper waters than I

Kneedeep is absolutely my maximum when fully dressed. You islanders obviously tread deeper waters than tourists

Whadda we want?

Well, warm moonlit nights are done for this year in Scotland, and anyway I'd be more likely to find myself dancing a reel. Less likely to trip and collapse in embarrassed giggles if it was a reel anyway.

Daydreams are fun, though. Off to have a cold shower.

Whadda we want?

Ha, Angel, wrong blog indeed. You're too sensible (so far) to join me in my quest. By the time your time comes you'll be saying hey, I remember Elegsabiff wanting this, nowwwwwww I understand.

And a little grey voice will say from the corner 'huh. About time.'

Whadda we want?

Luke, you'd be surprised how few volunteers I'm getting. It doesn't have to be a poem in blood, that was just an example. (A GOOD example, though)

A little surprised also at the lack of females leaping up and down shouting yerrr, gimme one too. Maybe I really am the only nutjob here. What a very sobering thought ...
