>build like a brick shithouse. . . .
Something I've always wondered - why is being built "like a shithouse" a compliment? I mean, consider the alternatives:
"She's as gorgeous as a pile of crap"
"He's as good-looking as a sewer pipe"
"Her face gives a toilet a run for its money"
"A sewage treatment plant would be jealous of his looks"

It isn't a compliment really. We use it to describe for example, someone who is fucking huge and well built.
I have no idea why I'd want a 19 year old blonde girl built like one though
I really don't go for the Russian shot putter typers

Vos is Castilian, It's a very respectful way of speaking that now in Spain is used for talking to royality,
Spain stopped using vos about fifty years ago,
I've noticed especially with the younger people that Usted is not used as much as it used to be,
maybe in a couple of generations it will that every one talks in Tu, An thats as it should be.

Thank you. I learned Castilian and later, learned the 'Su' and 'Tu' forms. Here on the Southwest Border, 'Tu' is most common as well as a lot of 'bastardised' Tex-Mex. Carro rather than autobus and etc. After initially learning Castilian and trying to communicate with locals well, I got some strange looks from whoever I was talking with.
Thanks, again for your help.

A shit-house is an outside toilet. Usually these would be a wooden shack affair at best - kinda like a poorly built shed.
A brick shit-house on the other hand would be one of uncommonly fine manufacture, sturdy, comfortable and capable of withstanding significant destructive forces.
Thus a person who is “built like a brick shit-house” has all of the above qualities. I must say however, I've never heard a woman referred to as one... such a title conjures up the image of a Russian shot-putter rather than anything favorable...
As to the subject of the thread - no, we shouldn't close our borders to EU migrants. If we want to be in the club we must sign up to all the club's rules. A really important one of those is that there must be free movement of people within the EU.
(Whether or not we ought to be in that club is perhaps a different thread).

Is it still bad over there? I left Britain 14 years ago and we had a problem then. Hope the public transport system is still the best in the world though!

QuoteOk, something I'm sure most British people have felt like should be done at some time or another.
What could be easier to defend and control passage through than an island?
With all the trouble happening all over the world we are having a major influx of immigrants, paticularly those seeking asylum. Asylum, in my mind, is neccesary for someone to receive sanctuary in a safe environment, away from the danger they are running from. So why do (for example) Iraqis, Afghans, Kosovons, Albanians etc have to travel through so many countries and across the sea to find sanctuary in OUR country?I'm sure safety can be found elsewhere. Is it because we have a superb benefits system, whereby immigrants with no paperwork can receive payments every week to eat and shop and also get accomodation paid for in the community?
Also Europeans (paticularly eastern Europe) are coming over in their thousands seeking work. I know of one factory they made a number of people redundant then the following week had a workforce made up of almost all Polish workers. No doubt they work hard and it's our own greedy fault for our companies employing a cheap wage but don't people think it's getting to the point where its getting stupid. I guess this is what happens when you become part of the EU and allow free passage and employment without restrictions.
Obviouslly no problem with foreign visitors with scheduled leave of the country but people coming over seeking employment from Europe and illegal immigrants that have travelled through 8 countries to take the piss out of our benefits system!? Is that right!?
I absolutely guarantee you there are more "indiginous", non immigrants in the UK, falsely claiming benefits than the "hordes" of asylum seekers that are "streaming" into the country. The benefits system was being exploited well before the Daily Mail was reporting on how our borders were being over run with illegals claiming benefits.
Legal immigrants coming into this country have actually helped keep the country's economy propped up for longer than would otherwise have been the case, and they certainly are illegible for claiming benefit. Although a double edged sword of keeping wage inflation down, it does mean that work gets done to a high standard and for less money than otherwise would have been the case. All these people are legal immigrants and will have to be paid at least the minimum wage. If they can do the same job to a higher standard for less money, or a job that someone from this country refuses to do because it's "below them", then why not? I guarantee you, if you were the owner of said business establishment, you would not hesitate in hiring them yourself - welcome to capitalism, money talks and everything else goes out the window.
Most Poles here are not here for the long term either - research shows alot of them work hard, live in rented accomodation (this has helped our housing market continue to stay propped up, which in turn has helped prop the economy up as consumer spending is directly related to perceived value in housing stock) and share housing with way more people than you and i would be comfortable with, just so they can get by on the bare minimum and send money back to their families. I don't know about you, but i would find it extremely difficult emotionally to travel a couple of thousand miles to live in a strange place and not be able to see my wife and kids for maybe a year or more because i couldn't afford to go back and forth to visit. That's what these people are doing - largely they wish to move back to their homeland after working here for a while.
There are more combined Australians, New Zealander's and South Africans in England than Eastern Europeans taking jobs that pay far more, doing far more skilled work, yet when was the last time you heard someone say "I wish all these Antipodeans would stay in their own damn country - they are taking all the best jobs here!". Why do you care more about the Poles who will be working in a cafe or a car mechanic on £5.05 or so an hour, than an IT specialist from South Africa who will be on £50,000/year when a "Brit could be doing that job"?
This is what happens when you become part of the EU - and it also means you can travel, live and work freely in any other EU nation, like many 100,000's of Brits choose to, be that France, Spain or elsewhere.
I don't want to generalise, but it sounds to me like you have spent far too much time with your nose buried in the Daily Mail.

QuoteWhat if she's 19, blonde, build like a brick shithouse, mute and easy..... still the closed borders or would you be content with her vacation tearing her away?

send your excess blonde mute hotties over here, once we have them they will be "easy" from then on!
Genuine asylum seekers allowed on temporary basis then sent back when threat has deemed to have gone (if appropriate).
Asylum seekers who are not genuine (those that have travelled through a number of countries should automatically be treated as such) rejected and deported immediatly.
Travellers without limitation but of course it will be hard to make sure their intention is to return home again.
We are a small country but we are getting bigger and bigger population wise with housing and employment shortages, national health and emergancy services overstretched. I think their should at least be a temporary restriction as other countries have where only a restricted number of immigrants per year are allowed from different countries. The free for all we have at the moment is causing problems I believe
