Nice to see the post-Brexit new measurement system in use. Large areas are now measured in Isle of Wights, building height is in Nelson's columns, lengths are in London Buses and volumes are, obviously, measured in Olympic swimming pools For reference purposes, the Isle of Wight is a small island in the English Channel which maintains a lifestyle based on the 1860s. It is famed for being used as an iceberg measuring unit.

I guess that explains why Thailand would never ever use Burmese, Lao or Cambodian workers to do the horrible jobs they wouldn't touch.

And in breaking news it is the 17th..... That story 'broke' a fortnight ago

Sativa is usually grown for its foliage, indica is grown for its resin.

Perhaps rename it to East Phuket Airport. That'll bring in the crowds...

It called 'being in the tropics', the definition of which is that at some point in the year the sun will be directly overhead. I guess next will be the scientific discovery that rain is wet.

A crossroads where all 3 options lead to a comfy life back in California. He's now just trying to pull a 'weapons of mass destruction' scam to save a few seats for his desperate cronies.

Not that many multi-million pound mansions left to buy. Most got bought up by totally honest and definitely not crooked Russians.

So the UK should chuck all the Ukrainian refugees out and send them back to Poland then? And refugees are not 'required' to move to the first safe country and wait. Read the 1951 Refugee Convention of which the UK is a signatory./

What about Canada then? Deaths from gun violence - 0.57 deaths per 100000 compared to the US's 4.31 deaths per 100000. With broadly similar gun laws.

Except the monarch has to give the Royal Assent before any Bill can be made an Act. The monarch has no role in parliament, but does have a role in government. This was established after the shenanigans of Charles I who ended up being banned from the Commons - hence the need for Black Rod as the monarch was banned from entering the Commons. The monarch is the Head of State and is Head of the Church of England. They are the one who, after an election, gives consent to the person visiting the right to form a government and the one who can prorogue parliament - last used legally in 1997 when Major wanted to avoid any debate on the 'Cash for Questions' scandal.
