Re: Our gp doctors
Her in Oz we have 'compulsory voting'. Last time I refused to vote, got a letter from the electoral commission asking why and imposing a $40 for not doing so. I sent them a full page copy from the paper which said, 'voting is compulsory, with a letter saying it is not compulsory as when I go into the poling booth no one holds gun to my head. What mwy be compulsory ios attendance on polling day to have your name crossed off the roll. Never heard any more about it.


Happy daze John in Oz.

Re: Our gp doctors
If the 5000 foreign doctors arrive here we will need interpreters in reverse to understand what the doctors are saying,you struggle with some of them to understand what they are saying.

Re: Our gp doctors
Hi Richard,
can you ask your froggy French friends, Why has France banned the Teaching of the Tahitian Language in Tahitian schools.?
First they Banned the teaching of the English Language, and now the Tahitians own Language, Only the French language will be taught,.
My Tahitian friends told me in February there is a generation of Tahitians now growing up with No Knowledge of their own indigenous Language.
This is on top of confiscating the traditional sacred lands for housing French Immigrants..
The French have no right to be in Tahiti or any other Polynesian Islands, Britain gave them all independence many years ago. Soon there will be trouble in Polynesia and the French as usual will go in there and Batter the Polynesians. a lovely gentle race of people.
Cheers
Brian

Re: Our gp doctors
Brian, no like the froggy then go to the 'Isle of Pines'.
A large resort there not far from where the cruise ships tenders dock. dare to go near the beach or want to use their toilets and you will be shot down. Large notices all over the place saying this is a private French hotel for French guests. All well and good but the notices are all in French and a lot of cruise ships carry non French speaking bloods.
