Note to headline writers

This applies not only to England but to Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

The headline is correct. It's up to the devolved parliaments whether they follow that decision.

So. You can read but can you understand?

So he wasn't self-insuring initially and circumstances beyond his control, apparently, put him in that situation.   That doesn't make him a self-insurer, it makes him someone who's insurer refused to renew his cover.  A self-insurer is someone who deliberately chooses not to take out insurance because he has the funds to pay for any future medical situations.

He had insurance which ran out and he could not reinsure. He decided to remain in Thailand due to worries about covid in UK. Many people managed to return to their own countries during the pandemic. He chose to stay and effectively self insure. Choices have consequences.

Sounds like it was handled quite well after the guy had his silly little outburst.

Video would have been hilarious, big dude kicking the legs of the little Thai lady with a trolley. 

Monty Python comes to mind ????

I would love to see a video of what actually happened. 

No, but I hit a green in one.

Many condos recoup the cost of all communal water use through the individual condo water meter charge. The alternative is to increase the maintenance charge which can be difficult. Seems reasonable for residents to pay for all the water. Doesn't really matter as it has to be paid for one way or other.

Maybe they will just pip Thailand to a successful vaccine????

In the election the SNP got 45% of the votes cast to give them the vast majority of the seats. It's not a forgone conclusion that they would win an independence vote if granted. 

Guilty but not $200m guilty

I agree with the aim to reduce the number of plastic bags but the food suppliers need to do more. Included in my shopping yesterday was 4 yoghurt each in a plastic cup and all wrapped in plastic. Inside were 4 plastic spoons each individually wrapped in plastic. As an aside I ordered a cup of coffee yesterday in macdonalds only to be told there were no cups but I could have it in an environmentally unfriendly take out container. 

The guy decided to self finance any health issues and says he has enough to cover his treatment so no problem there. I don't understand why anyone would start a gofundme campaign for him in these circumstances. I certainly will not be making a donation. I don't like his blogs but have no ill feelings towards the guy and hope he recovers but he should do something to help himself and stop smoking. 

She was only a remainer as she did not want to appear disloyal to the then leader Cameron and scupper her future prospects. She then went into hiding during the campaign earning the nickname of submarine. Boris is an opportunist who dithered about being a brexiteer or a remainer until he saw the chance to advance his own leadership prospects. I despair if this intelligent clown is the future.

I purchased a condo off plan several years ago and the price was based on the advertised area of the condo. The purchase contract stated that  the final area may increase or decrease based on the the Land Office calculation. When I received the ownership document the final area was less than that advertised and I contacted the developer to claim the appropriate refund. Eventually I received the refund in full including the small overpayment on sinking fund and maintenance. 

My tolerance to alcohol fell after I reached 71. My blood tests are normal  but I reduced my intake to accommodate the change and now have 3 or 4 alcohol free days  a week. I still have a drink the other days and feel fine. It's all about getting used to being old.

Everytime I hear the word crackdown here I crackup.

Always went there for the Sunday roast but it's now shuttered and the sign gone. Anyone know why?

No eye contact and a small shake of the head. Yours not the sellers?
