Just bought a CD called "Sounds of the 70s". I don’t recommend it though, it's just full of old people wheezing, creaking and moaning.

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.
