I have friends in Regina, SK. They crow about temperatures of as low as minus 50C each winter and no winter email is complete without a photo of at least six feet of snow

Even when people who are suffering as a direct result of the immigrant influx, i.e builders, myself etc, give people an insight as to what they see day in day out, you come back with your facts and statistics. Well, to be fair, you can cram them. There are people on here who couldn't care less about them. We see what is happening to our country and we don't like it one bit.

This is, to my knowledge, an open forum where anyone can post their opinion on almost any subject. Please don't think you have the monopoly to come here and try to belittle any other person's opinion. You may well know more people on here than i, again, i don't give a toss. I love my country, my fellow Brits and everything that our previous generations fought for in order for us to be able to live the lifestyles which we should be entitled to. This is the last i will post on the matter and you will not bait me again with you incessant piffle. You have your opinion, I have mine, and no matter how many of your "facts" you post here will change them.

I can really feel here that Sean is very troubled at what he sees as the decline of the U.K. a place he obviously loves dearly. There is always space for someone to express their inner most concerns and feelings and for counter argument that merely deals with stats and official info.

I do hate one thing about Canada.
There is amazing winter sports out there, ice climbing, skiing, all that stuff. The summers are nice too, settled weather, not insanely hot like down where I am in NYC. You can do nice hiking and all that.
Decent paddling too in spring. Vancouver is meant to be the place. Completely beautiful. I was never actually there, but I was with a native american girl who was, and she was showing me pics and maps and things.

Yup. Would be nice.


What about NZ? Does anyone (AHEM GMONSTA ) know about NZ?

Live and let live i say-trouble with immigration is its selective-don't hear much moaning going on when your favourite football team signs a player from abroad -after all he would be keeping a british player out the team.The problem with this country today is to many people get too much for doing nowt-if you work for what you've got good on you , you've got my respect-maybe its to easy to point the finger at people and blame them for things when maybe we should be looking at bit more at ourselves?

Skiing is not as hard as it looks.

The trick is to have a critical level of stupidity at the start, which fades as (hopefully) your skill increases. And, as my early biker friends would say, if you're not crashing, you're not going fast enough.

I learned to ski in Norway, from a Norwegian guy who trains the SAS.
And flies helicopters...
...over the North pole...



...rescuing lost people.


If anyone knows anyone with a cooler job, give me a shout.

(One slightly annoying thing was that his commute to work was pretty long. Like Paris was closer to him than his job.
On the plus side he was allowed chopper out there.)
