Its OK Ummm I think everyone else knew what I was on about - AOG just used it to yet again throw doubt at my right to reside !!!!

For a senior member of AB,you can be surprisingly immature sometimes,AOG.

AOG....you are clearly Trolling people on this thread, and I have reported that fact.

Mikey, Mohammed Ali, a great sportsman indeed, but do you know what he, as a convert to Islam and a US passport holder, believed?

'The white man is the devil'

I wonder what he taught his son?

[pastafreak]

Hmmm...my daughter has 2 passports. She must be a fake British citizen then...oh dear.

[ummmm]

You're like a spoilt brat, AOG, you actually seem bothered when others post a question in news.

[Zacs-Master]

Oh dear, now were into 'the likes of you' territory again.

I broke out the irony klaxon myself some posts ago with an apology. Will there be an apology from you AOG?

I get trolled every day, every post, every thread.

It hurts doesn't it?

[pastafreak]

Trump said he was going to protect the USA, it may be OTT But he's only protecting the USA It;s a pity the UK don't do the same.

// Sounds like "How dare you! Do you know who I am?"
"Err... no... but we're going to find out!"
Fair enough.//

another measured response - I would have thought their computers ( erm like wiki) may know who a norwegian prime minister was
where is norwegia anyway ?

a colleague ( 20 y ago ) bought a holiday villa in Florida
First visit it took the wife five hours to get thro orlando immigration
( looked a bit too indian )
and she refused to go there again..... he sold

Gavin Yamey gave a gust busting account of being detained in the U S of A ten years ago - he didnt realised that his ango surname was a word in arabic....
his blond hair and blue eyes didnt prevent him being put thro the mincer

[mikey4444]

TWR....should we really be stopping every black Britain, with a British passport, when they return to this country ?

Why ?

[ummmm]

AOG - you don't get trolled. It's all in your imagination!

[Zacs-Master]

Trumps idea of 'protection' was found to be illegal.

[Peter Pedant]

// Trump said he was going to protect the USA, it may be OTT But he's only protecting the USA It;s a pity the UK don't do the same.//

creating queues at the border isnt protecting anything

complete confusion between the process ( time wasting exercises before admission) and the outcome ( there are no bombs in the US of A folks from countries who er didnt send bombers in in the first place - I'll tell you whaaat - sweden I'm gonna ban swedes from tomarrow.... tomarrow - today aint soon enough - watch me ! )

[TWR]

The word I used was "Protecting" Mikey, as far as I'm concerned this is my answer.

[pastafreak]

There's protection...and then there is also bullying,intimidation and embarrassment for those who are entering legally.

I was watching BBC world business report at about 5:45 am on friday morning and one of the presenters, a white man, said he got refused entry to Florida and held up for 9 hours because someone on a watch list had a similar name to his.

But isn't it strange that they didn't know that this chap was the son of Muhammad Ali ?



Why on earth should they know that?
