^ That works as well.

Off with his head!
Bloody muzzie Immos.
I liked this story in the OPs link.
Immigration officer sought sex for visa - Breaking News - National - Breaking News

^ I find it bizarre that recent Immigrants are working for Australian immigration. They must have some stupid quota of ethnics to fill.
When I last holidayed in Australia, the Immigration official could barely speak English. If I hadn't witnessed the arid dustbowl of the thirsty country out of the plane window myself, I may well have been thinking we had landed in Stalinist Eastern Europe by mistake.
They love questioning the Brits I've noticed, the famous Aussie chip-on-the-shoulder is alive and well.

Mortals you defy the Gods, I sentence you to travel among unknown stars, until you find the Kingdom of Hades, your bodies will stay as lifeless as stone.

^ they want to practice their English

True words, Tud . . .
When's the last time you were in the UK, though? Mostly Indians . . . but they speak English very well.
The Immi guys in Oz really piss me off, though . . . arrogant prats
A few months ago:
Immi: what's in the baby bottle?
Mrs Hat: It could be white vodka or milk for he baby I'm holding in my arms
Immi: I'm sorry ma'am you will will have to tell me what's in the bottle as liquids are blah blah blah blah . . . and subsection blah blah blah
Mrs Hat: Ok, it is baby formula and you do realise that legally I am allowed to bring blah blah blah . . .blah blah blah . . . if you continue to harass me I will lodge an official complaint through my legal office against you and you might find yourself working in some nasty little island off the WA coast.
Immi: Thank you, you may pass
Friggin' self-important prats . . . (the immis, not lawyers)

I flew into Glasgow. Not many Indians working there, if any.Originally Posted by panama hat
They've even got a TV program that follows the antics of the heavy-handed, authoritarian Australian Immigration and Customs. Border Patrol I think it is called. Its on Truevisions.
where do I sign ?working in some nasty little island off the WA coast.

^ First you become Indian, then you need to be arrogant, get Aussie citizenship because you look like someone who already has and he has helped you through the interview process as a translator, get a taxi license by the same method . . . Bob's your uncle!

There is a bit more about him in here
Reporters sans frontières - Thailand
Australian author denied bail for the fourth time
Reporters Without Borders repeated its call for the release of Australian author Harry Nicolaides, facing a charge of the crime of lese-majesty, after he was yesterday refused bail by the Bangkok criminal court for the fourth time.
Nicolaides, aged 41, who was formally charged on 21 November 2008, has been held at the capital’s remand prison since 31 August. The charge relates to his book, Verisimilitude, which came out in 2005 in which he referred to the way an unamed Crown Prince treated one of his mistresses. Only 50 copies were ever printed.
“We urge the Australian authorities ( including arrogant indians ) to do everything within their power to secure the repatriation of Harry Nicolaides as quickly as possible”, the worldwide press freedom organisation said. “He is being held in very harsh conditions and his morale is at a very low ebb.”
His lawyer made a previous request for bail on medical grounds on 22 November. It was rejected on the basis that there was a risk that Nicolaides could flee if he was set free.
His brother, Forde Nicolaides, described the outcome as “regrettable”. “Harry is suffering from the difficult conditions at the prison and the terrible effects this is having on his welfare. [...] Ensuring his ability to cope and remain strong is now critical.”

Bastards for locking him up and denying him bail for writing a book while murdering coppers and corrupt politicians get bail and remain free.
The hypocrisy is so thick in Thailand you can cut it with a knife.

Today two Australian newspapers, The Australian & The Age have articles about Harry’s predicament and The Chronicle of Higher Education has an article.
Nothing about arrogant indians though.

^ No, no, no. That was in relation to becoming an Oz Immigration guy . . . being Indian helps, being arrogant is a must. Not denigrating Indians at all, just Australian Immigration.

^
555, don't worry I know, we have them in the UK too
Considering this follows taxin and esp Mrs taxin (whom, if memory serves me correctly had actually already been convicted and sentenced to time in pokey) it is a fucking joke.
Sometimes, just sometimes I really wish I could give all of Thailand a right solid slap up the side of the head.
^ Nah, you deserve each other...

It would do no good. They wouldn't feel itOriginally Posted by nidhogg

I was thinking to take this guy in some books to read.
I have the 'elvis never smiles book' wonder if he would enjoy that read.

This is a letter from Harry recently published in the Greek-Australian newspaper, Neos Kosmos. 4 months he's been in there now with no end in sight. The next trial hearing is in late January.
Dear Mum,
I have been thinking of you and dad a lot these past few days as we head to Christmas. My only hope of getting through this depends on you and dad remaining healthy. If anything happens to any of you, I will not make it.
I am very weak. My heart is poisoned with sorrow and despair. My only respite is in thinking about the present. The moment I stop to dwell on the past or cling to the future I fall into depression. I lose the will to take care of my health and my presence of mind. The present is a relentless assault against my senses and sanity. I think about resuming my life again after all this is over. Will I be haunted by the memories? Will the stench of rotting garbage ever leave my nose? Will I always walk with my head bowed, looking to avoid stubbing my toes? Will the grime that has stained my skin ever wash away? It's been so long since I've had a cold drink or a hot shower, or food at the right temperature. I have not used a spoon, or fork or plate for three months. I eat out of plastic bags. I am sick of sitting, standing and kneeling on concrete. I shave and wash without a mirror. I long to inhale fresh air into my lungs without fear of infection. I yearn for a good night's sleep, not the semi-consciousness I endure most nights on the concrete floor. I wish to be able to use a toilet privately, not in the presence of 50 other men. However terrible the present is for me, it is more palatable than memories of Melbourne or the future that could have been. These thoughts remind me of all that I have lost. I try not to think about life outside but this does not last long. I see a photograph in an old magazine, hear a voice call my name and suddenly I am grasping at memories - only to fall hard when I realise where I am. I think about the journey our lives have taken. You and dad departed Cyprus for Australia in 1955. You raised a family. You helped to build a community. You witnessed half a century of Australian history. You reared me, educated me and loved me. I have ended up here where my extended detention in Thailand disrupts this great story. This is our story, our family history and our lineage. We must not allow it to be destroyed and scattered. I will remain strong and focused if you will. I will never let go of your hand mother and I implore you never to let go of mine.
Your ever-loving son
Harry
