Sorry, cannot answer your questions but one thing to note, when my son went to UK with the intention of joining the army he was told that there was a two year residency requirement before being allowed to apply. After two years, he contacted Capita, who were in charge of recruiting and was told it was a five year residency. So he never bothered. Now recruiting has been changed to Serco. If your son is living outside UK he will have to abide by the residency rules. It is 2 years, not 5, by the way.

I met a dyslexic Yorkshireman today. He was wearing a cat flap.

The magistrate who sentenced her has previous form. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tan_Ikram [edit] On 13 February 2024 Ikram, presiding over a case of three demonstrators carrying or wearing images appearing to glorify Hamas (the political and military movement governing in the Gaza Strip, and designated in the UK as a terrorist organization), found them guilty but let them off with conditional discharges, saying that "emotions ran very high on this issue". This judgement was subject to extensive criticism in the press.[10][11] Contrast was drawn to a 20-week sentence he handed down against a man for sharing memes mocking George Floyd, the severity of which he boasted about in a talk to visiting American law students

DWP Fraud, Error and Debt Bill. Statement from Liz Kendall on 8 October. https://questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-statements/detail/2024-10-08/hcws114 The Eligibility Verification measure will not give DWP access to any bank accounts, nor any information on how claimants spend their money. The proposed new power instead helps verify benefit eligibility, using very limited information from banks and financial institutions. A human being will always be involved in any investigations and any decisions taken afterwards that affect eligibility or benefit awards, as they do now. This measure will not be used on the State Pension.

Chong Mek is a border crossing into Laos, not Cambodia,

No. Have to walk a little bit.

Go to Ubon bus station. Plenty of vans go to Chong Mek. Takes about an hour. Then go across to Laos, return and get the van back. Don't know the cost for the van. About $40 for the Laos visa. Can also go to the duty free shop and bring back a bottle of spirits or wine or 6 cans beer.

Bob & Joe are sitting in the stands watching their favourite team play. "Do you realise it is 60 years today we first met on the terraces at the old ground. We have supported the same team together for 60 years. We have been going every season together since. We given each other a pint alternatively. We now play the game in the Over 50's league. I have a great ideas. Whoever get's to Heaven first must let the other know if there's football there". Joe agrees. A few months later Joe sadly passes on. At midnight a couple of nights later, Bob is awakened from a sound sleep by a blinding flash of white light and a voice calling out to him. “Bob…Bob!” "Who is it?” "it's me, Joe. You know how you said whoever passes on first would let the other know if theirs football in Heaven? I have some really good news and a little bad news. The good news is that there's football in heaven. Better yet, all of our old friends who died before us are here, too. Better than that, we're all young again. Better still, it's always spring time and it never rains or snows. Our wives are there too, and young and pretty as ever! And best of all, we can play football all we want, and we never get tired!!" That's fantastic," says Bob. "It's beyond my wildest dreams! So what's the bad news?” "You're in the team for this Saturday".
