I read it and its not me. The ''lost in ....'' names are popular its hard to fnd ones that aren't taken. lostforwords is always taken too!:D

Don't take this the wrong way lir, but lostforwords just wouldn't be appropriate for you...;)

By the way, I read the Nice cup of tea & a sit down book yesterday.
It is very funny, & very leisurely.
Though the majority of the book is about buscuits!

It is a veritable trip along buscuit memory lane.

OMG I'm only 71% "British"

I'm not fit to be a citizen because I got these wrong:

Say after me:

The largest group of immigrants are those from what would normally be considered as "white" colonies; ie we sent them our ambitious unemployed and criminals and some of them have come back.
(Not sure how these figures are compiled as, for example, my wife has dual nationality - I think I have mentioned before I tried to read the British Nationality Act on behalf of one of my wife's relatives and I could not understand it.:D
("Are you now or have you ever been...............a suicide bomber?" Is anyone going to answer yes to that).

A school only needs to be open 190 days per year - Ah I know where I went wrong, I forgot to knock off the weekends.

After 6 months on the dole you don't have to accept a "New Deal" offer! (Just how long are you going to pretend you are going to get a job in the film industry, and stop costing the rest of us 60 quid a week).

Commonwealth citizens can vote in Uk but EU can't.
Daft. (What about those EU elections for expensive people nobody can name?)

Your MP cannot advise you on employment problems but ACAS can !
My mistake I was rushing the quiz - but I would be interested to hear from someone who has been helped by ACAS for a personal problem.

.......fror most people the Council of Europe remains shrouded in obscurity.The council is the oldest of modern European institutions, formed in 1949 to protect the citizens of Europe from the kinds of human rights violations witnessed in the second world war. Its 47 member states include every European country except Belarus.
Your wife has been able to divorce you since 1857........but it took a lot longer before she could get back her money, let alone grab the house and half of yours.:D

I don't know how I have managed to function all these year without knowing this stuff.

I spent 8 minutes on this brain teaser; in reality are you allowed to Google the answers?

Or are the other 37 minutes to give the candidate time to translate the questions?

Certainly, you'd have to be either a very slow reader or extraordinarily indecisive to take the full 45 minutes.

Maybe you are supposed to cheat??? :eek:

I only got 67% in the Citizenship test. Still, what can you expect from the son of immigrants?

Some of the questions are seriously obscure, though. How can it possibly be a sensible qualification for living in the UK to know whether the population of under-19's is 14m or 15m?

sheesh, I'm rejoining the land of the living after a sick day yesterday. We finally took time out to have meal at a local ''gastropub'' the the gastro for me was more of the enteritis kind. Then I come back here to find LJ calling me gobby. Oh well, you can't argue with the truth...

More a case that you are not shy to come forward with a perspective on a matter lir.

BTW, anyone aware of where treliac is? Haven't seen her about for a while.

I was wondering about treliac the other day , as I have her link to the other place in my inbox...I still haven't saved it anywhere. I hope she's ok.

Horrible exam yesterday morning for the end of my second course at OU, which I am still trying to recover from physically (the journey, the seating, the stress)...don't think I have done very well.

Oh well, start the next course in a few days and if a resit is needed (if allowed), then a resit is needed (but I think I will mention their chairs.....)

SS, if previous success is a guide you will be fine Good luck for the results, when do you get them?
Is anyone else excited for the miners who have started to emerge? I can't help wonder how they chose the order of who would come out, and wonder at the complex emotions of those waiting their turn. But I feel quite excited for them and their families.

while we are asking about absent treliac, where is wageslave?
