January 31 2008: Living With Mothers
A quote from Dolores Aveiro, mother of the incredibly good-looking Cristiano Ronaldo:
(Real Madrid) are my favourite team. The best in the world. I would not like to die without seeing my son playing there. If he moved to Madrid, I would go and live with him.
And if there’s anything to put a fun-loving, womanising, 22-year-old male off accepting a job in another city, it’s the threat of your mother coming to live with you.
If I was him, I’d run away. Far far away.

It’s now 9.45pm, and I’m wanting to go to sleep by 11.30 in order to keep Resolution #1. If they don’t stop soon…well, let’s just say that a little birdy is going to call the police about a little matter of noise pollution. Fuckers.

With both entries in mind, consider the following table of figures recently released, showing the percentage of applicants who have failed the citizenship test, broken down by ethnicity/nationality:
