Join the club Joe. I try to explain to the wife things that are going on here but I dont think she quite understands.

Yes. I tried to explain to Mrs Lastlid about everything last year and it was so hard to explain especially as she has cousins who married Koreans and had so much less trouble...

I think as time goes on & things get even more difficult the only option for some may be to move to the Phils...But what will happen to the relationships & marriages who get refused a visa & have no possible of moving to the Phils thats what worries me mkost for the genuine relationships

Thats the big question stevie. I spoke to a immigration adviser yesterday and she said let the dust settle and when your ready to apply let me know. There will always be a way round it.

[stevewool]

Those proposals again. It's understandable we're worrying about this, but we don't know.

As for the positive/negative thinking, well I had advice from an old manager - he said the best bit of advice he could give us if we don't want to feel miserable, is to not read the Daily Mail.

Now this might seem like a bit of a joke, but he was serious, and so am I. That particular paper, and even they will admit this, it exists to sell to a certain part of the readership. It will predict gloom for the economy, it will blame various ills on "Johnny Foreigner", and it will also take great delight in trawling up every so often an end of the world story - be it asteroids, superbugs, supervolcanos, Man City winning the premiership..........that sort of thing.

It really is a tatty little rag, and you're frankly better off reading any other paper, which although they will print rubbish, it isn't actively designed to play on people's fears of crime, the economy etc.

Your call, I'm afraid I still read the online pages, my bad

IMHO The Daily Mail is an excellent newspaper so much so the the rest of the UK Press heap awards on it including Newspaper of The Year.

Read all about it in the Guardian

Paper lands eight awards, including newspaper of the year, campaign of the year and hat-trick for Craig Brown
