This country is a shambles. So they're quite happy spending millions in foreign aid when we are running a deficit, talking about accepting x migrants, yet they're trying to split families up like this. He clearly pays his way in the UK :angry:

Thanks you. What gets him is that he came here when he was two months old and i was born a year later in the UK....this means if he has a kid abroad its difficult to get a british passport for the child, if i had a kid abroad it would be no problem. So his british passport has less worth than mine. We did not know that there was a difference...they look the same and should be the same. My brother is very british in his ways and is in shock about all of this. He tried to have Warda born here but the home office had a problem with his Syrian wife. Even when we told them she was a Christian. Her village still speak the language Jesus used to. My brother gets a private medical package so the birth would not have cost the nhs. Lets hope the home office take note.
Are your parents british? If yes, then this should not be a problem. My son was born in Ireland and his dad is German. According to both laws my son is Irish and German (Law states regardless of where a child is born as long as the parent is from Ireland(Germany) that child is Irish(German)). My friend has a problem.. He is german and his wife dutch but both his kids were born in Ireland... His kids will be recognized as either Dutch or German but not Irish because of above law.
My parents were both born in Pakistan. My mother came here in 1965 when she was 19 and her first ever passport was British. My sister was 3 years old and brother 2 months old when she came to the UK. My dad had been here from the 50's and had a British passport. I was born in 1966 a year later. Then 6 years later my little brother was born. So two of us were born in the UK. Everyone in my family has a British passport. Its something about British by descent that devalues one British passport to another.
Good luck to you and your family, swmc66. I really, really hope Warda and her parents will be able to come home to the UK very soon. :)
She got her nationality but they sent the papers to wrong address so it is going to take a further 6 weeks to issue another nationality document. They previously lost all my brothers original documents so my address is now the postal address. But they forgot that. But good news she has been accepted as a british national and wont be stateless for long.
That's brilliant news! http://www.picgifs.com/smileys/smile...ing-645440.gifQuote:

Just dropped my mum off to heathrow. She likes to get there 5 Hours early! On way back i missed my turn and thinking i was going round a roundabout i ended up in terminal 2 going up a lane that said authorised vehicles only and something about valet parking....which did not make sense. Not good and probably going to get a hefty fine after paying £17 for parking in terminal 3!

Boo hoo my beautiful 2ft fibre optic Christmas tree died tonight....I think the motor gave up on it. Mind you, it was 14 years old = so it had some good innings.
RIP my beautiful tree. My side table already looks so empty without it.
Here is my gorgeous tree when it was fit and well LOL

Why can you not just go in somewhere and buy what you ask for any more? Always trying to upsell you. :angry: Does my head in; I almost had an argument with a girl this morning. She was like a dog with a bone.
Might manage the tree later, 1 day earlier than last year!
don't you just hate bumping into an ex who all is going good for and you are single
Oh dear! I hope it didn't ruin your Christmas Eve!Quote:

It's my granddaughter Indigo's first birthday today! I thought some of you might be interested to see how she's grown since I posted her baby pictures.
I took these at a family get together yesterday:

(That's my daughter/Indie's mum with her in the second photo.)
Unfortunately, my pictures don't do her justice. She's an absolute delight who's always smiling and laughing, especially when there's animals around. Her parents took her to a farm of some kind today to see lots of animals. She calls all animals "dada" (meaning "doggie"). :D
Here's one of the baby pics I posted a year ago:

(Apologies for the proud grandma moment! :o)
You have every right to be proud.Quote:

She is gorgeous and looks like will be stunning when she is older with a name to match
Thank you! :)Quote:

Thanks! I think you're right about the good heart. :)Quote:

Not quite my day today, but a couple of days ago as we had a fabulous night at my theatre (the West Cliff, Clacton) on Sunday with Rick Wakeman. It goes without saying his piano playing was just simply brilliant. I especially liked his nursery rhymes in the style of....Mozart (Wolfgang), Ravel (Maurice), Debussy (Claude) and Dawson (Les). Also Eleanor Rigby in the style of Prokofiev. But of course there was much much more from rock to classics. His stories and anecdotes were also very funny - not a bad impression of Brian Blessed too! - and the whole stage show magnificent, well deserving the sustained ovation at the end.
He then stayed behind for almost an hour chatting, signing autographs and having his photo taken. A really genuinely nice man.
You can come again any time you like, Rick!

This week has been very eventful using emergency services. My 16 year old son was in such a bad way the paramedics came to our house...ten minutes after i called. They were brilliant. Then yesterday i was just opening my bedroom door and the lock got jammed. I have been moaning about the door handle for weeks and its one of those things my husband had not got round to. His friend measured it for a new lock etc the day before. Anyway my kids were all trying to get me out without any success. Its when they mentioned an axe i said call the fire brigade. They were reluctant but i said they get cats out of trees etc Then 5 firemen turned up after another 10 mins. It took them another 30 mins and i was free at last.
Now i have no door handle or lock and the door does not close. I am not saying anything bad to my husband who conveniently was in a council meeting throughout the whole thing. Its our silver anniversary tomorrow

I've had the same thing happen with two door handles in my house. Luckily, I haven't personally been trapped, but my daughter was! I live in a rented home so my landlord got someone out within a couple of hours to rescue her. The door was completely impossible to open without taking the frame off. I sometimes fear it happening again and being trapped for days because I live alone now.
I hope you've recovered from the shock. :)
Happy anniversary for tomorrow! :cheer:
