Didn't you know. Britain isn't run by British people any more. Silly Silly!!

That was all thrown out with colonialism and British Food ect. Any Brit with half a brain left Britain years ago.

Yes I always laugh when arriving at Heathrow to be confronted

by immigration officers from all nationalities - some in turbans

and at times it certainly seems there are more of them than

Caucasian's -and they are the ones checking peoples passports.

Love the pictures with the article - who are the embassy staff in the bottom left picture, or are these just a random selection of expat Brits?

I quite liked the picture of the Ambassador with Nils Colov, one for the gallery I think

One post removed from view, I asked earlier to be careful what you say on this thread.

The links are not working to P1 they seem to have trouble with their server.

A name like Asif Ahmad would possibly get you on a terrorist watch list in the States - such is the current paranoia over there.

Possibly a no-fly list - particularly if you purchased a one way domestic ticket and paid in cash.

I quite agree. I mean, what was Mr Colov doing there? I know he is obsessed with having his photograph taken with anyone who can make him seem like a respectable local businessman, Does nobody brief these people? Jeez, words fail me.

from what i have seen Nils Colov would attend the opening of an envelope........

Here's your chance, take him to Pattaya beach road for a jet ski ride

This is the best advice I have ever seen on this site.

Taken down to Beach rd for as a "Thank You", sit in a deck chair,"!ike a jet ski sir?" but of course,off he rides ,only to be abandoned by his hosts once out of view...there awaiting his return are the crew. "That will be 10 million Baht you whatever you are",.... off to the cop shop, ...."but I'm British Charge D'affairs", ........ yeh, another 20 million gets added to damage bill just for lying=,passports a phoney too = result stateless person,,cops add 10 years jail sentence for that alone

One of the plusses of a multi cultural society
