It's not of course, but the poster you quoted didn't question nationality, ie Citizenship., He was making an educated guess as to the Frenchman's origins. I agree with his conclusion.

I had neither a letter nor a stamp in the new PP. Immigration was happy to transfer necessary details based on the stamp in the old. Replaced in 2020.

When I received my new PP, the Embassy put a stamp in the cancelled PP stating any valid visas remain valid, and referenced the new PP number.

Aguilar is 14 years older than the American singer and sold most of her records before Aquilera started recording. It's her birth name from her Filipino father.

A few years ago, a couple of these tourist boats collided in that channel at high speed. From memory, 2 Russian children died.

Others did it! OK, that's alright then. Let's worship their descendants and give them ultimate control of governments.

He knows very well where I'm from he's just being his usual petty, trolling self.

Too broad a description? For someone only a little smart, a clue could be found in my nik or even from my interest in this thread.

The post I was quoting was about the source of Royal family's wealth and power, not their failure to acknowledge it. That would never happen with this lot. I'm from a country that the British invaded, slaughtered or enslaved the local inhabitants and despoiled the natural environment in their efforts to recreate their home conditions.

For me the disturbing part of this story is that it was a stranger who thought to check the deceased's phone for a contact. This was apparently too hard a task for the RTP or the British Embassy. Not that what I do automatically relates to others, but I frequently go out with only cash in my pocket, no ID, cards or phone. If I needed to carry all the extra accruements around, I would have been born female and carry a purse everywhere.

It was 2 metres from the road just south of Newman about 120 kms from the mine.

I agree about Corden, and it appears many who know or work with him have similar feelings. However, I have enjoyed many of the "Carpool" segments because of the caliber of the guests. The one with McCartney where he visited all his old haunts in Liverpool was special. At one stage he signed the historic Penny Lane Street sign. He even surprised patrons by performed in his old local pub.

I'm not doubting the truck driver's version but do find it unusual that someone would sound their horn (twice) at someone approaching from behind at speed. I'm sure brake checking doesn't happen in Thailand.

Sam Smith also performed in Bangkok as part of a world tour, in 2018. Last month Smith performed on the South Lawn of the White House in front of the President. Seems the 80yo Biden has heard of him. Sam Smith performs at White House as Biden signs equal marriage bill | Metro News

This clip had 64 million views, yet many here haven't heard of him. (pronoun)

The woman in the pic is his long-term ex-girlfriend who split with him when he started with the new one. However, it seems she is also involved financially, as is his sister back home. There must be something in the water. Do they really think the government will get involved?

Yes, I saw a very slim Sam Smith with Corden on a "Carpool Karaoke" segment a few years back. Now unrecognizable from that.

Some of us who live in Thailand still have knowledge of the big world outside its borders. Some of us don't close our minds because we are over 70 or living in a society where many citizens shun, or learn little, about non-Thai happenings or inhabitants in the rest of the planet. Some of us keep informed of many aspects of the world including politics, finance, trade, space exploration (Simon), wars and even entertainment trends in TV shows, movies and music. Retirement or relocation to Thailand does not mean one has to switch off the brain to all else in the world! Although for some characters here that seems to be just what they do. Perhaps they were always living in their own little bubble.

My due on 30 Jan. Received the notification on the 15th. Applied and approved same day on 17th, next due on 17 April. (Note: I don't worry about waiting until the due date, it's so easy now)

He certainly has the mirrors, count them. Does he use them?

It was all smoke and mirrors.
