Irfan. So what if she wears pretty clothes?


The little furbal is more British than you know. Unlike most girls she just has a good dress sense.


By the way, I dont think that Brits have a national dress like Pakis do.


No one beats the Pakis in how to dress in style, and, in food.


Paki dresses are world's best and their food is fabulous.

I've always thought it was classy if a girl knew how to dress well


Well done 3 lilsis you get class points.


I think that puts us at 1,000,000 for me and 14 for lilsis


I'm winning! πŸ˜ƒ

my first nomination is Mr Ed-cos he said sumin similar to what omro said


AND he had it distibuted to thousands of people across UK


"we have to prove that we LOVE England"

feel free to ask any Q which will determine other people's britishness


Q1-Do any of u have any issues with marrying sumin from back home?


Sirus β€” Fri, 19 Aug 2005 - 11:02

its very good.....can read and speak just not write...so that puts me back on the british radar!


btw....y must a british person object to marrying abroad? loadza brits get married outside uk! the question bears no relevance

most people cant read or write Urdu


many people can understand the languge


and many coconuts cant speak it


so-ur not back in the british rader


in most situations a British person objects to marryng abroad cos of the culture diff


if u dont see the cultural diff then ur not that British


star β€” Fri, 19 Aug 2005 - 13:25

if speaking urdu reading/writing it which i can do EAZI and agreeing 2 marry a person from abroad which i wud consider depending on the person .in my opinion has nothing to do with becoming less in the british sector.

I detest that show - only saw one episode and that was enough for me.


Although.... (and this is really mean)


Did anybody else see the audition for William Hung?


lol I love the part where Simon Cowell tells him he was the worst audition he had ever seen and Hung gives him garbage about "doing his best"


Is he... special?


Somebody told me he has an engineering degree from UCLA (which isn't easy)... but watching that video...
