Still sceptical about the shops,bars and flats thing.

[quote]this recession is affecting everyone[/quote] True, but for those whose income is secure (most people aren't at risk of losing their jobs), super-low interest rates, falling inflation and discounts in all the shops isn't such a bad place to be. Even if people don't like to say it.

What I mean is that as more people become available in the jobs market employers will look to getting rid of workers and replace them with cheaper ones.Changes in Employment laws now make it even easier to do it now coupled with the changes to benefit rules.

You're wrong chief. People in this country who like to infer that we are riven with a sectarian divide might like to make the cafflics and proddies don't snog insinuation...but it just ain't true. All research indicates more than 50% of those declaring themselves as RC are married to someone from outside that faith. That doesn't include those who simply bidey-in. That is a HUGE mixed faith relationship percentage and belies the arguemtns of those who like to infer Glasgow is Belfast without the paramilitaries.
But you're right about the inappropriate nature of Elva's 'advert'...but I'm guessing the ET moderators might have already been sacked!

I should have stated SOME catholics won't marry protestants and vice versa and IF you had read my post I highlighted the fact that it has caused splits in families.
As for interracial see "arranged" marraige.
I refer to "the good old days" with tongue in cheek.
I would never have come across this "forum" if I wasn't on the burroo. That's why I appear to post on it quite a lot.Oh!and a strange desire to answer people like you.
Volunteer work? Am too busy!
I "visit" Bishopbriggs almost every day to buy materials for my homers.

OMG. I got out of bed at exactly the same time you you posted.Scary, Eh?Let me "fix" the errors in your reply.
No.1.Being called a TIM doesn't offend me. In fact I been called a lot worse. Being on the burroo now that DOES offend me. Having to sign on that is degrading.
No.2. I suffred because I wasn't a racist and defended asian people.
No.3. As I have only started posting recently and am not very good with a keyboard I can accept that my syntax may not be up to scratch.
No.4. Yes I can accept that not everyone has a sense of humour.
No.5. NOT being a racist b1got and having a sense of fair play seems to be strange in a lot of peoples minds.
Nos. 6,7,8. See No. 4.
