And to answer the second question, yes, they check your tickets before they let you in to the Vatican.

Smedder your hand doesn't feed me so how do I bite the hand ? The tax I pay and have done so for 20 plus years more than pay for the welfare benefits for some of the natives, 1.2 million NEETS need foreigners to come in and help pay for their benefits.
As for verbals well notice you doing the same.
Told you last week you are not really that clever at insulting people as one week you telling people who don't agree with British Isles term that they are racists then coming on and saying people who use the term racist are scraping the bottom of the barrel. Give it up and try and act normal.

One in five young people to rely on handouts

Have your say
A "lost generation" of unemployed young people is costing the economy billions of pounds a year in benefits, youth crime and educational under-achievement, a major report discloses today.
The first large-scale study of its kind also shows that the population of "Neets" - people not in education, employment or training - is more than double that of Germany and France and is still growing.

Roughly one in five young people faces a lifetime on government handouts, under-achieving in education and runs the risk of falling into crime, says a report by the London School of Economics for the Prince's Trust charity.
The study, entitled The Cost of Exclusion, warns that the problem of "youth exclusion" is draining £3.65 billion a year from the exchequer, enough to fund a 1p cut in income tax. It says the strength of the economy is masking the true cost of having 1.2 million young Neets.

It's almost embarrassing to be British reading some of the crap that's posted on this thread. The UK/Ireland branch seems to be the hiding place for British racists who "hid(e) under an internet pseudonym of course". Although I think it should be "hide behind".
I say "almost" because I hope that people who read this thread realise that not all British people 'think' (and I use the term loosely) along the same lines as #5 and #11.
What is it about the internet that makes what are otherwise quite ordinary people act like total prats?

Oders - I said you and many irishmen (not all) were racist (anti-english mainly), not that you are racist specifically because you don't like therm british isles. I stand by my comment that people who over-accuse others of racism are dicks.
Not sure what your problem is Tone, apologies for missing out an 'e' when I was typing quickly though.

#14 - the fact that you can't see what his problem is suggests a certain lack of self-knowledge.

Smedder, I don't have a problem. This branch seems to attract a certain kind of aggressive, point-scoring male who, in real life, probably behaves quite normally. (Maybe, but let's give him the benefit of the doubt). However, once he's at his keyboard he loses all self-control. It's like projectile vomitting, only less attractive. You're one of them but you're not alone on this thread.
If you ever dare to come out with your racist rubbish face-to-face with someone, you deserve everything you get. However, I suspect that like most of your type, you're actually quite meek and prefer the anonymity of the internet.

Smedder should be left alone. He's intellectually impoverished which may explain his acerbic Hibernophobic tendencies. As for hilarious Vince, perhaps he would also be willing to repatriate all of the economic migrants that have come to Ireland to escape the tower blocks and poverty in Ingerland. You guys should stick to your allotment thread.
