For 18 months you expressed some concern about a large influx of immigrants from Romania & Bulgaria much to the mirth of some ABers. In view of this week's figures that 187,000 have indeed flooded in from those 2 countries in 12 months, are you happy that you were proved right and 'the usual suspects' have a great deal of egg on their faces. Or does it just deepen your original concerns.

if you think that's nasty, you're in for a shock around here, ic! (lol) - and then there is R&S, another level!
I describe myself as a Patten wet.....conservative but pro European and some shades of civil duty befitting liberalism, that being my family background as fundamental Methodists once. Personally, I follow Einstein's views on religion, a waste of time on Earth as it just explains the unexplainable though useful for its so called ethical codes.

When I am gone, remember me
When I am gone, remember me,
Not often. But when in the east
Grey light is growing, and the mind
With fears and hope is clouded least.
Then in the hour that I love best,
And where I still reflected find,
All that I ever sought to be,
Now who wrote this?
I will return to you as one
New risen from the grave, as clear
As now you see me and as dear
As when I slept beneath your breast
Before I saw the sun.

Professor of Greek at an Australian university at the age of 26, which he gave up to enlist in the army on the outbreak of war as a private, rising to the rank of brigadier in 6 short years. During his finals at university he walked out of a 3 hour exam after 1½ hours. When asked later how he could accomplish a translation in so short a time, he replied."I gave them two, one in the style of Heroditus and another in the style of Thucydides". What a genius.
