Without wishing to play down the seriousness of what's being alleged by the teenagers mother, I have to wonder why, or even how, a person seemingly with a high profile media prensence, would/could make contact with some random teenager and pay them serious amounts of cash to send photos or even perform such acts. Likewise why/how would this child contact the tv presenter and offer their services, if indeed it was they who insitigated the interaction. I'm not sure that I buy the claims of the mother that this so called interaction has driven the child to drugs.

You joined this forum nearly four years ago, so I assume that whilst you could be Russian, you're probably not an actual refugee.

Thanks you

My wife is asking if there are automated passport control gates at Suvarnabhumi for Thai Citizens on departure, I'm pretty sure they're only for arrivals, does anybody know for sure? Thanks

I'm also approaching 76, being aware that some pensioners were receiving these I called them and they advised that one was posted to me on 8 January, I still haven't received it, or indeed a letter from my bank in the IoM requesting a witnessed copy of my wifes new passport, the bank called me to advise that the form was on its way, but they also sent it via email, as did the DWP following my call. Coincidently I'll be in the UK shortly so will send them both from London on arrival.

I renewed my passport via Hong Kong in 2013, I don't recall sending my passport off then. I renewed again last month, I certainly didn't need to send it then. There may have been some changes in between, but I don't recall any. VFS snip the old passport when the new one is collected, passports are retained by the applicant during the application process, thus enabling the applicant to comply with the years old rule here in Thailand that a foreigners passport must be available for inspection at short notice.

You are of course entitled to your view, Brexit certainly isn’t delivering what we were promised, but hang on to your dreams.

But that's still a physical pick up by somebody, agent or friend.

I think you really believe that to be true.

Surely two physical visits are required, one to submit the application and a second to collect the new one and have the old passport clipped. Though, yes, an agent could be employed to carry out both transactions.

So a uniformed off duty police officer, with a gun, is ok?

I'm just glad I don't live in the US, don't tip there at your peril. ☹️

Whilst I'm inclined to agree with your view, it doesn't look like this guy was cornered by paparazzi, he seems to be quite happy to pose with his silicone friend.

Has she got a sister?

If you're content to feed corruption, and make it more difficult for the applicants following, then there's probably no drama.
