The Brits let your swarthoid ass in?
The immigration policy is a joke, no doubt about it

Why 7 years though?
It's usually 5 years unless you need to re-sit your Higher Grades again....like me

Anyone for some fish and blitva?

Croatia is definitely a place I would like to visit. My friends and in-laws like to vacation there. All around, nothing but praise for the scenery, weather, and locals.

I like blitva and fish 'na gradele' but that's about the only specialty I know from Dalmatia. I haven't seen the see since before the war.

I thought they let the sons of rich Arab Sheikhs and whatnot in hordes? At least I'm a Westerner compared to the Saudis.

Because, mister wiseass , the standard high-school education is for 6 years in Turkey, the grammar school being 5. At least that's how it was in my time. Now they changed it to Primary Schooling for 8 years (mandatory) and then either 3 years of public school or 4 years of private school. Since I went to a private school it was for 7.

What this has to do with Croatia's tourism, I don't have a clue but there you go.

Hey, it's only Britain. What do I care?

LORD Wiseass, if you don't mind

But the school itself was in Britain, right?
So another immigrant coming in and expecting everyone else to adapt to their way. Flamin' typical

No it wasn't Einstein, that was the whole point of the posts. The tricksy Brits and French have schools all over the foreign countries you know. So do the Germans, Austrians and Italians. The most common ones are French schools and I almost went to one as it was a family tradition for 3 generations, but I broke the tradition, being the uppity little snob that I am and got my education in talking about weather and almost anything.

You've done it again, haven't you

As the famous philosopher Spears says: "Oops, I did it again".

Ah, so you were just unclear hence I didn't get the jist of your post.
Fair enough

In that case, you should kick these foreign school out.
You know they are only a staging post to spread Nordic ideals throughout the country!

Hence, all the swarthoids running to the flanks of forums such as Skadi and whatnot in a complete identity crisis. Tut tut tut.

Of course being the educated snob that I am I have heard of Shamen and the Naughty, Naughty, Very Naughty. I never miss a conversational point, and if I did, I'd just start talking about Croatia's weather.

I like fish and Dalmatian cuisine, but I don't like blitva....it's like eating grass.

I do not mean to ask stupid questions, but aren't Serbia and Croatia still at war, or did I miss something?

Taste is largely a matter of habit.
I didn't liked blitva as a kid, but later I discovered it suits perfectly served together with roasted squids and boiled potato.

LOL There's no war in Croatia since 95.
Also Croatia was never de iure in the state of war with Serbian state, only with 'Yugoslav Folks Army' and the rebelled Serb minority.

The result of this war: http://www.kakarigi.net/croatia/news...eng/krono.html

All those Serbian 'Krajina' pages and insignia you can find frequently online doesn't really represent anything anymore. They are only used for bitching around.

You're kidding right?

[etoile noir]

silly me! all these years i've been brainwashed into thinking that british humour was by far the best around. i have countless dvd's and spend endless evening watching re-runs of blackadder, bottom and whatever else the brits come up with in terms of funnies on TV.

it is becoming increasingly evident that i shoud invest in some american productions ... tanto per cambiare

oh, and welcome to Stirpes Midtown Bootboy any suggestions as to what i should be watching when i feel like a laugh?
