The Daily Telegraph told last week how police and Church insiders fear crime gangs are using corrupt vicars to exploit weaknesses in Anglican procedures and help thousands of African men and women gain residency.

Surely one of the best things about Filipina wives (fiancees/girlfriends) is that they are so frugal with money :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[stevewool]

Likewise in OUR home, Steve ... WE'RE both what Filipinos might call "thrifty" ... don't believe in squandering money for the sake of it! Neither of us drive, so we don't have a car ... and that's a BIG saving! :xxgrinning--00xx3:

[Pete/London]
