IMO, a colossal waste of taxpayers money, and a bloody good excuse for the ministry of the interior to have another good snoop on the population. As if it needs to.:mad:

very definately !! at a time where we are being told to tighten our belts the government carries on with a ridiculous huge expense charade !!

Kev. I think we both know where Tornado 64 is coming from. I doubt if there are any folks who have been born here, whatever Nationality they are, since the computer was invented not known in every detail by any Government dept at the press of a button.

I cannot, I.M.H.O see any point in a Census, unless we include all that we know are living here but have no idea as to who they are,their nationality,WHERE they are etc, and whilst I am not going to bring up that old Horse Chestnut again, I guess you know what I mean.

exactly!! , it is good to see someone with the capacity to understand !!

the plans for this to be the last one tells everything you need to know

if you are legaly here walk into any government building and give sparse details and they could realisticaly find out everything they need to know

( some things you don’t know )

it does not tell them anything about the huge ” illegal ” problem

as for the fine , i’ll risk it , i’ve never filled one in in 30 yrs and i’m not starting now !!

And don’t forget, it’s not just the Census forms, just think of Hospitals, Doctors surgeries, dentists, in fact the list is endless, and they ALL have to be catered for.In fact the only things I can think of that are not in dozens of different languages are our local Chinese, Indian and other foreign takeaways, which it would appear some time ago in one of the National broadsheets to be the most highly saturated town in England re foreign takeaways, and restaurants.But the menues are in English only!!.

i’ll never forget sitting in council training about ten years ago

a council big wig insisted that our biggest immigrant section was italians

i fully remember sniggering and muttering LANGUAGE

it was later found out that many other nationalitys were giving their nationality as italian

but even all those groups combined could nowhere near compare with pakistanis

i often wonder where council officials live and if they actualy hang around in real british areas with real british people !!

99% of the people i know have thrown the senseless in the bin

the people who live here legaly have more than enough usefull information about them on government files anyway

the ones they want to find out about will not fill it in anyway

and with governments fully admitting they have lost rack of immigration

can they realy be trusted with any form of population counting !!

Yep the EVA AIR shot is amazing, this makes the AVP viewing facilities at Manchester seem tame!

modern manchester is increadibly boring , i’m of the age that can remember the spectator piers that all the aircraft came nose into

where you could watch stewardesses , pilots and passengers getting off the aircraft

watching flights returning from spain with drunks with the obligatory stuffed donkey under their arm staggering accross the tarmac

you could watch pilots doing their pre flights , they would often wave

and of course getting told off by dad as even though it was a great goal the ground staff were less than impressed with chasing a football after it bounced off a dan air comet !:diablo:

Considering the film was made about 25 years ago, all the characters from the first film would be long retired…hopefully they won’t have 50+ year olds playing fighter pilots. If they’re still in the service at that age, they’d be in desk jobs (perhaps with some flying on the side) or senior ranking officers.

tom cruise hasn’t aged too badly although i doubt kelly would get the leading lady slot

hell even country file would be difficult for her to get on !!

i think the french fighting because their told their retirement age is going up to 62

and the british rolling over and accepting retiring at 67 says it all

no one has the balls to stand up and fight anymore

i don’t agree with everything in the students protests but at least they had backbone and fight in them

britain is now a country of i’m alright jacks and sod everyone else till it effects them and they start crying because no one will fight for them because they’re alright !!

iron eagle was pretty watchable , anybody remember or actualy enjoy iron eagle 2 ???

it may be watchable but 99% sure it’ll not stand the test of time

why not do something difrent ( after all charlie sheen is very available !! ):)
