Brit shot on the eve of his wedding

i cant recall anyone i know being kidnapped in the UK.

Lesley Whittle 1975

I think Jim's comment was maybe not totally accurate in terms of actual numbers, but there is no doubting that UK is becoming a much more dangerous place to live. Reading about the recent wave of acid throwing incidents, it's pretty scary.

True, but these acid attacks are still extremely rare, legislation is being brought in to tackle it, and people are not taking the law into their own hands.

Dont remember anyone on here reporting being a victim of crime in the UK (apart from devorce lol)and in the Fils (apart from minor corruption)only Mark reported being mugged?

There have been incidents in which kidnapping was faked. In 1992, Joanna Grenside, an aerobics teacher from Harpenden, England, had staged her disappearance to avoid Christmas.

Asawa's brother was mugged 2 years ago waiting for Jeepney, they held him at knife point demanding his phone, which he passed over.

His best man says the victim told the guys to f*k off when they asked for his wallet... It's more fun in the Philippines.

Yes you did help with a 'basic' question I asked, although you did come across as condescending .I haven't got the time to sift through all the posts as i'm busy trying to help my girlfriend get a passport ( which is turning into a farce ).Please feel free to ingnore any of my basic questions or posted opions in future.

Yes I will be busy jogging either way good luck getting the passport.

Hero status.

Thanks

getting a passport in the philippines ? good luck with that, see you in 6 months or so.

My wife got a passport for her younger sister in 2 weeks. She visited us in Dubai and stayed for one month last May.

Just asked my wife about her daughters they got it about 2 weeks after they had been to the passport office.

Does your wife agree with this, bigmac?
Does she not want you to visit her family over there in the future?

my wife's center of life is in the uk--has been for years now. her family--are scattered all over the world. they all chat often on facebook. her son will be applying to join us later this year.

Inclined to agree with Aposhark Bigmac. It is her country and of course she has material and emotional ties. Why would you not want to visit and share that with her.
