  1. The last World Cup was held in Russia, as was a recent Winter Olympics. That should tell you all you need to know about FIFA and the IOC.
  2. Your photo is of Tommy Smith and John Carlos, not Jesse Owens. Although his success at the 1936 Olympics was a more powerful statement at the time.
  3. Great video, thanks for posting. Is that guy Jack Nicholson's younger brother?
  4. Sounds like the Damian Hurst quote one poster on here uses as his byline: "I have nothing to say and I want to express that."
  5. That's true, but in my case the calculation of income is open to interpretation. So a well-connected agent could ensure that it's interpreted in the "right" way.
  6. Has anyone successfully applied for the new Long Term Resident 10 year visa under the Wealthy Pensioner category? If so, did you make the application yourself or with the help of an agent/law firm?
  7. Once you give powers to government and big tech to decide arbitrarily what is "harmful" and what can or cannot be said online, you're on the same slippery slope to where Hungary is today.
  8. So something like this then? https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-59509702
  9. After the UK, Hungary will likely be the next domino to fall in the splintering of the anti-democratic power grab that is the Brussels bureaucracy (EU Commission). Once the full force of their idiotic energy policies comes back to bite them this winter, expect the break up to accelerate as people take to the streets in protest at the Davos elites and their Great Reset.
  10. Thanks for your concern, but I know how to be diplomatic.
  11. Chaiyaphum immigration say the same thing. But I will try to change their mind when I go next month with the document from Ubonjoe in hand.
  12. Do you have a link to the written rules for this please? I'd like to show it to my IO who insist on 12 months of transfers.
  13. Quite right, I was thinking in feet instead of metres. That's a phenomenal achievement then.
  14. Thank goodness this young lady is keeping us safe and avoiding us the trouble of having to think for ourselves. I wonder how many people are employed in the fake news department of the DES. Excellent use of taxpayers' money I'd say.
  15. ....would take them almost to the summit of Everest. Presumably here are also some descents?
  16. My last flight from Heathrow the pilot announced just before take off that 45 bags out of 240 had to be left behind. Are you feeling lucky, punk?
  17. Changing seasons instead of the monotony of hot and wet or hot and dry, beautiful architecture of old towns and villages instead of the uniform drabness in Thailand, not having to sit behind someone driving at 20mph in the outside lane, being able to sit outside with a beer in summer till 11pm while its still light and without getting bitten to death, vast choice of theatre, concerts, art galleries and museums if that's your thing. One man's meat is another man's poison. There's no one size fits all answer, it's wherever you feel happiest.
  18. He/she/they/it (is that all the pronouns?) must have memorised the numbers.
  19. And the point of the OP is? That you can't predict the future?
  20. The topic in your post was corruption, law breaking and incompetence. I've just given you an example of the second one. I could also give you examples of the other two, but I'd probably be wasting my breath.
  21. And the other one doesn't? How about the illegal invasion of Iraq for starters?
  22. Austerity, aka living within your means (which incidentally they didn't even achieve).
