is it just me or are job application forms get longer and more ridiculous as the years go by?

I was applying for royal mail a few weeks ago (christmas vacancy) and they wanted to know what I did for the previous five years. In bold it said something like 'every single day has to be accounted for'. I could've spent an hour filling that section in but I just gave up.

Why would you want to work for the royal mail first day you'll end up being on strike.

As I said, it's only during Christmas.

Some mirpuris are moving next door to us!!! :evil:

Wow!! poor you, theres people living with no food but thats nothing compared to your problem; you've got mirpuris!!!

What do you expect they'll be like?

The only obvious drawback I can think of is that they might be noisy.

Lol. Most asians I know that live in my area are mirpuris.

The only stereotype I have with them is that they are very cultural and strict when it comes to their women.

But at least half of the ones I know have proven me wrong.

I can't wait to see my dads reaction when i tell him, he cannot stand cultural people, esp mirpuris. From what we’ve been told by our neighbours, they are the typical desi family who are very loud, know every other mirpuri in the uk (they're moving from slough), nosy, have big weddings and so on!

Lol. I live in a city which is full of mirpuri's. I went to school with mirpuri's.

To be honest, nowadays you cant really tell which city/town/village anyone is from.

Its only on rare occasions when cultural differences are brought to the surface.

Hey watch your mouths ok im a mirpiri and i dont like this bad mouthing and stereotyping of them.

I'm Mirpuri too and I don't mind it.

So carry on.

Mirpuris are very distinctive, i can easily spot them. Most dress, talk, dress alike and know the same people.

And Funzo, chill :roll:

One last thing, their punjabi is hilarious!

You know whats weird, here in London. I cant tell who's a mirpuri or who's not (most of the ones I know speak Urdu and have decent careers)

Yet, in ghettoised Small Heath in B'ham were I was born...I can spot them a mile off.

And its usually the language or the fact that a young girl was married off at 14 that gives it away...

But then again...my dad speaks great punjabi and he's from an posh Urdu speaking background.

I am chilled just wanted to have a go and beast is your name irfan?

You think because we're both Mirpuri you might know me?

Beast how much truth is there in the conception that MP's only marry MP's.

That is the ideal.

Well, not quite. The ideal is that they have to be first cousins.

I dont think ive ever met a person from mirpur.. Maybe i need to get out more.. Maybe i have, but Ive never realised? Is Jehlum a part of Mirpur?

I only recently heard mirpuri punjabi from one of those new satellite tv channels, i had never heard Punjabi being spoken like that, it was so fascinating to learn about the different communities in the UK

There are loads of different castes in Mirpur. Bear in mind Mirpur is not only a city but also a district.

Marriage partners have to be first cousins, if not they have to be from the same caste, and if not that then they have to be from Mirpur. If they're not from Mirpur then someone in one family has to know someone from the other family. There has to be some connection somewhere.

Thats fascinating.

From what I've seen Raja's seem to be very similar to MP's in their attitude to a lot of stuff. So I was just wondering if all Raja's were MP's.

BTW how accepting are the third generation MP's (i.e. you) to their parents ideals?
