    Now this has to be the signing of the season without doubt and it comes over one week after deadline day.

In my living (sober) memory this is the first time that RM have been given a bloody nose by any British team, great bit of business Buzzin'
  13. Here was me thinking this thread was about a sighting of the lesser seen BM "Moo Noi", last spotted on the AC Number 12 in Bangers
  14. Syria is not separated from mainland Europe by Sea, majority are coming the land route through Turkey and then into either Greece or Bulgaria. Plus how can the EU prove that they are whom they claim to be, how can each and every one of them be vetted to ensure they are not IS sympathisers sneaking into EU claiming to be Refugee's?
  15. The difference between a migrant and a refugee marks a crucial distinction for European countries receiving new arrivals. Refugees, as defined under the 1951 Refugee Convention, are entitled to basic rights under international law, including the right not to be immediately deported and sent back into harm's way. "The practice of granting asylum to people fleeing persecution in foreign lands is one of the earliest hallmarks of civilization," according to the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees. "References to it have been found in texts written 3,500 years ago, during the blossoming of the great early empires in the Middle East such as the Hittites, Babylonians, Assyrians and ancient Egyptians." A refugee is someone who has been forced to flee his or her home country because of armed conflict or persecution. Syrians are a prime example. The U.N.'s definition of refugee is someone who, "owing to a well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion, is outside the country of his nationality, and is unable to, or owing to such fear, is unwilling to avail himself of the protection of that country." Migrants, however, are processed under the receiving country's immigration laws. So, ultimately, these terms have major implications for those seeking asylum and the countries being asked to grant it. A migrant is someone who chooses to resettle to another country in search of a better life. For example, those fleeing poverty in Nigeria, looking for work in Europe, would not have refugee status and would be considered migrants. Not all migrants then are refugees, but refugees can fall under the migrant umbrella. One of the major differences between the two designations is that while migrants may seek to escape harsh conditions of their own, refugees could face imprisonment, deprivation of basic rights, physical injury or worse. "Refugees have to move if they are to save their lives or preserve their freedom. They have no protection from their own state -- indeed it is often their own government that is threatening to persecute them. If other countries do not let them in and do not help them once they are in, then they may be condemning them to death -- or to an intolerable life in the shadows, without sustenance and without rights, So which term should you use? The United Nations notes that both groups are present in Europe and at its shores. It's safe to call all of them migrants because each is migrating, but many of them -- especially those fleeing Afghanistan, Eritrea, Syria and Iraq -- are also refugees.
  16. Stop calling them REFUGEE's they are not Refugee's as defined by the United Nations, they are just MIGRANTS!

    Plagiarism

    Getting more interesting now. Whether or not she should have been on the blacklist in the first place is a moot point. Since he has status as a Thai Citizen he cannot be banned from entering his adopted country, his citizenship would have to be revoked first.

    Apparently he had been travelling freely on his Thai Passport since the blacklist request was submitted back in 2009, he lost his Thai Passport on his most recent trip and when he tried to enter on the Britiish passport that is when the blacklisting came to light.

  23. AN AUSSIE, KIWI & A YARPIE An Australian, a Kiwi and a Yarpie are in a bar one night having a beer. All of a sudden the South African drinks his beer, throws his glass in the air, pulls out a gun and shoots the glass to pieces. "In Seth Efrika our glasses are so cheap that we don't need to drink from the same one twice," he says. The Kiwi, obviously impressed by this, drinks his beer, throws his glass into the air, pulls out his gun and shoots the glass to pieces. "Wull mate, in Niw Zulland we have so much sand to make the glasses that we don't need to drink out the same glass either," he says. The Australian, cool as a Koala, picks up his beer and drinks it, throws his glass in the air, pulls out his gun and shoots the South Arican and Kiwi. He turns to the astonished barman and says, "In Australia we have somany bloody South Africans and Kiwis that we don't need to drink with the same ones twice." (The joke would mean more to me if it was a an Aussie a Ruskie and a Yarpie, my boss is Aussie, one guy is a Ruskie noe based in Australia and the Other is a Yarpie now based in in UK)
