Talking Cultural Background
permalink
Okay, I was bored and thought lets start a random thread.

This is the question:
What is everyone's cultural background?

I am Scottish, English, Sweetish, German, French, Dutch, and Irish.

I was told my picture is in the paper but I haven't gotten a copy of the paper yet. I was told it's a good picture. I hate pictures of myself. I will pick up a copy tomorrow and try to get it scanned in the computer in the next couple days.

Has immigration information with regards to the UK. I've not had time to look through it completely, though. I think you are more likely to be able to get residency if you are trained in something where there are skill shortages here e.g. teachers.

Re: Cultural Background

I am Irish,Indian, Black Dutch,.. More Irish then anything though. Mom is pure Irish and dad is Indian. My hubby is Irish with last name Mcdonald. Mom's was Mcghghy. So I have a full blood Irish son and half and half daughters. LOL
The black dutch is about 6 generations ago so not sure if that even counts anymore but thought I would add it since it is part of our family history.

I have the red hair,freckles, and green eyes. My middle daughter is a spitten image of me. The other one no idea where she came from... My son has the big ears, poor thing.
