Well done Jim,now on to the second thousand.

P.S. Get a life too:diablo:

Why can’t you all concentrate on the terrible disaster that is on hand instead of ranting about the ills of society and how media covers one thing more than the other?

Maybe because disasters of this scale tend to happen far away from the UK,and unless you’ve experienced something like this personally,it’s difficult to comprehend.

I could hear the fear in my Christchurch friend’s voice when I spoke to her an hour after the earthquake,but I don’t really know how she feels.

Because people are bickering about inconsequential details doesn’t mean that they don’t feel sadness and sympathy for everybody affected.

Incidentally,the New Zealand Herald pointed out this week that people tend to focus on the number of people killed,forgetting the number of people whose lives have changed forever in the blink of an eye.
Many in the Christchurch area will have suffered crush injuries meaning loss of limbs or irreversible brain damage.

We are indeed lucky that only minor earthquakes happen in this country.

It’s hard to understand what these disasters must be like for everyone caught up in them,here in stable little UK.
Only this week I read a piece about this type of event possibly being linked to the full moon. Here it is –

Let’s hope that it doesn’t mean further disasters for some poor souls.

Ladies and gentlemen,if you’d like to see a few non-pc jokes about the opposit sex,look here-

( Yes, I know it’s from the Daily Mail,OK ? )

To put it in perspective Jim,it’s only just over 3,000 in a population of some 100,000.
I do think that immigrants should do their best to learn English though,for practical reasons.
This would avoid situations such as a bedridden old lady in my Mum’s nursing home,resident in the UK for many years,who speaks so little English that the nurses have to rely on visiting relatives to relay her needs.
Also the young family living opposite my Dad,where the father speaks English well but Mum and the pre-school children don’t speak it at all.He works long hours,and it worries me how she’d get help if a fire broke out,or there was a sudden medical emergency.

If they’ve only printed it in 57 languages,then some poor souls are at a disadvantage,according to a report in my local paper last year.

The number of languages spoken by schoolchildren in this town is a mind-boggling 94.

Well,if you must …

Here she is in one of her ginger phases.

Thinking what am I doing wrong. 22 without a girlfriend 🙁

Well,my daughter is 22,currently single,and a busty natural blonde,if that helps 😀

Stop worrying about it.Girls can detect desperation :diablo:
