Glad to have the helpful pic to show what 'only 4 in the back' looks like

If Trump had anything to do with the figures it would be 18 out of 10

The actual UK Government advice is "The public should remain vigilant, but not be alarmed"

... most of which goes on the 'right' tasselled jacket/trousers/boots/gloves/t-shirt/after shave(even with compulsory beard) and of course the obligatory branded sunglasses and almost useless branded helmet. That and many, many tubes of chrome polish (probably branded but which does at least keep them off the road for a while).

OK. Then the answer is I would expect a speed in excess of 200mph on this Thai proposed railway, based on other modern high speed railways of 84km or less. Any less than that and the nomenclature would need revising.

Well, the Shanghai Maglev train system is 30km long and the trains reach speeds of 268mph.

He can write?

If there's that much 'dust', perhaps people should stop sweeping their houses so vigorously.

Or even as much as $44bn... And then he must be incredibly dumb if he believes the company could be worth £250bn and even dumber if he sells such a huge 'profit' on to others. p..s. I never considered him smart, just reckless and lucky. He reminds me of Thomas Newton (Man who fell to Earth) and will probably end up in a similar fashion.

Presumably he will return post-election only if his lot wins so he can return and forgive himself and live happily ever after.....

Not just pension age. France's state pension is around 50% more than UK.

What a terrible choice..

But they were massive Indians apparently...

And what about the other 81 countries who also outlaw homosexuality?

Hark!!! What's that sound??? Why, its the sound of a can being kicked down a road...

Current advice by HMG (pre-strike) is that it takes up to 10 weeks. And that's when it is claimed to be working just fine.

Its called gerrymandering

Does ice come in any other format? I always thought unfrozen ice was water and that frozen water was ice, or has basic physics been changed to suit the culture warriors?

It;ll probably end up in a som tam salad

Is that the best place to go for protection? Sounds like protecting yourself against a dangerous lion by getting in the same cage...

'Hundreds' (883) since October 1, 148 in last 12 days.

A 'source' said “Glitter is suspected of trying to access prohibited material online. It is thought those attempts were unsuccessful, but that in itself is enough to reach the recall threshold. However, his phone will now be forensically analysed to determine exactly what he might have been searching for.” Knowing the Sun, a 'source' means a bribed cop.

The 'value' is calculated assuming a price of 3558Bt/gm ($103/£85) which is why the words are in speech marks. They're illustrating a terminological inexactitude with a large helping of hyperbole.

It doesn't follow. Accessing, or attempting to access the dark web was one of the conditions of his licence that would mean an immediate recall (like getting into a relationship with anyone who has a child under 18). He attempted to access the dark web, he got recalled. The Sun and Fox are very much related. Both being Rupert Murdoch's organs (for the time being) and devoted to the lunatic fringe of society.

Sad but not surprising. For 10 years from 2007, I had a company that supplied caretakers for closed pubs and dealt with nearly 1000 pubs. Reasons for closure were not that many and tended to fall into three groups 1 - The property company that owned the place increased the rent hugely (+100% not unusual) driving out long established landlords. 2 - Feckless landlords who thought they could make a fast buck. These tended to wreck the place and move on leaving power bills unpaid, business tax unpaid and then disappearing. The high rent and hard work required was beyond them 3 - Places where the locals though it was dreadful that they were losing their pub but when asked if they were regulars always answered 'no, never go in there'. There were other factors such as the smoking ban (started 2007), cheap supermarket booze and the advent of cheap big screens (which made visiting the pub to watch a game unnecessary. You could sit at home with mates, drink cheap supermarket beer AND smoke). In about 75% of cases, the pub closing was no real loss to the community and nothing needed to replace it as it wasn't used anyway...
