The funniest jokes in the world |

What do you think?
World's best joke
Two New Jersey hunters are in the woods when one falls to the ground. He doesn't seem to be breathing and his eyes are glazed. The other calls the emergency services.
He gasps: "My friend is dead! What can I do?" The operator says: "Just take it easy. First, let's make sure he's dead." There is silence, then a shot is heard. The hunter's voice comes back on the line. "OK, now what?"
Best British joke
A woman gets on a bus with her baby. The driver says: "That's the ugliest baby I've ever seen. Ugh!" The woman sits down, fuming. She says to a man next to her: "The driver just insulted me!" The man says: "You tell him off, I'll hold your monkey."
Top joke in England
Two weasels are sitting at a bar. One sarts to insult the other. He screams: "I slept with your mother!" The bar gets quiet as everyone listens for what the other weasel will say. The first again yells: "I SLEPT WITH YOUR MOTHER!"
The other says: "Go home dad, you're drunk."

Dual Citizenship |

Ok, I am confused.
I was born in the UK and was there until the age 0f 3, when my parents came back to South Africa.
My parents then acquired Citizenship for me in South Africa, and I now hold a South African Passport, and ID and tax number etc.
I also hold my British passport (or did until a year ago, as my 10 year British passport expired last year).
I have never travelled on my UK passport, and have recently started working in New Zealand, after acquiring a work visa and permit, which was stamped in my SA passport.
I would now like to look for jobs in the UK and gain employment there. Obviously the best option would be to renew my British passport and utilise that to gain work and move to the UK, as this will ommit me having to obtain Visas etc.
My confusion is how do I renew my British passport and still keep my South African passport and thereby hold dual citizenship. My main reason for wanting to keep my SA passport is incase I want to return to SA, and also that I have a wife and 2 kids who are SA citizens by birth, and still have family in SA whom we will surely visit ever so often.
Now I never applied for Dual Citizenship to SA as I was never aware of this, and being only 28 now, my last UK passport was issued when I was 17 years old.
As you can see I was born in 1977, and therefore can still hold my UK passport and claim birth rights to the UK.
Anyone have any information on what I need to do to keep both my passports and to renew my UK passport as soon as possible. And also would I get a normal UK passport or would I now get the newer UK passports?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Popeye
