  1. It would be very difficult to find a fully functioning CC in the UK that does not have the above restrictions! Attached is a link which lists other restrictions which most UK CC have! There are also card transactions which are treated as cash advances, even though you don't withdraw any physical cash. These include: Making a mortgage payment Paying a utility bill Buying travel money and travellers' cheques Buying gift vouchers Betting or gambling (including lottery tickets and most transactions in a casino) Can you withdraw cash from a credit card? | money.co.uk
  2. That would be the most expensive way on many UK CC as you will have usual foreign ATM card fees plus cash is often charged a at a higher rate than purchases and the interest is charged from the day of the transaction. It is also a black mark on your credit report.
  3. BS! You have got so much wrong there that I do not know where to start! It is very easy to maintain a "presence" in the UK especially if you have any family still living there! Even if you have no family left in the UK as long as you planned ahead before retiring here you can easily set up and maintain a UK footprint including UK Addresses, phone numbers, electoral roll etc!
  4. A sign from Heaven! I must have drink to celebrate! Where should I go I wonder?
  5. Division & Fright There was a huge nut tree by the cemetery fence. One evening two boys filled up a bucketful of nuts they had collected and sat down by the tree, out of sight, and began dividing the nuts between them "One for you, one for me. One for you, one for me," said one boy. The bucket was so full, several rolled out towards the fence. Cycling down the road by the cemetery was a third boy. As he passed, he thought he heard voices from inside the cemetery. He slow down to investigate. Sure enough, he heard, "One for you, one for me. One for you." He thought he knew what it was. "Oh my god!" he shuddered, "It's Satan and St. Peter dividing the souls at the cemetery!" He cycled down the road and found an old man with a cane, hobbling along. "Come quick!" he said, "You won't believe what I heard. Satan and St. Peter are down at the cemetery dividing the souls." The man said, "Shoo, you brat! Can't you see I'm finding it hard to walk as it is!" After several pleas, the man hobbled to the cemetery and heard, "One for you, one for me. One for you, one..." The old man whispered, "Boy, you's been tellin' the truth! Let's see if we can see the Devil himself." Shivering with fear, they edged toward the fence, still unable to see anything, but then they heard, "One for you, one for me. One for you, one for me. And one last one for you. That's it all done." "Let's go get those two nuts by the fence, and we'll be done." They say the old guy made it to town 10 minutes before the boy!
  6. Thanks! I had forgotten that, what with my memory and all! It is nice to see the milk of human kindness is still showing on this forum.
  7. The young gunfighter is getting worried He feels that although he can shoot very straight he is not quick enough on the draw! compared to some of the youngsters he hangs out with. He decides he will consult a “gunfighter trainer” to help him improve his technique and show him the latest tricks. He goes into the bar, and walks up to the gunfighter trainer at a table and tells him what the situation is. The trainer says “I think I can help you. Let me see your style.” The gunfighter draws and shoots the piano player’s drink off the piano. “Nice shot” says the trainer. “Why don’t you put your holster a little lower on your hip, and tie down the bottom with a rawhide thong?” The gunfighter does these things, and tries another draw. He shoots the piano player’s cigar out of his mouth.” “Now here is what I think you should do next” says the trainer. “File the front sight off that revolver and rub axle grease all over it.” “Will that get it out of the holster faster?” asks the gunfighter. “Dunno” says the trainer, “but when Stormin Bat Masterson over there finishes playing the piano he’s likely goin to take that there shooter from you and shove it up your @ss.”
  8. In support of the Irish! A London lawyer runs a stop sign and gets pulled over by an Irish Garda. He thinks that he is smarter than the cop because he is a lawyer, from London, and is certain that he has a better education than any paddy cop. He decides to prove this to himself and have some fun at the Garda's expense..!! Irish Garda says," License and registration, please." London Lawyer says, "What for?" Irish Garda replies, "You didn't come to a complete stop at the Stop sign." London Lawyer says, "I slowed down, and no one was coming." Irish Garda says, "You still didn't come to a complete stop. License And registration, please." London Lawyer says, "What's the difference..?" Irish Garda says, "The difference is, you have to come to a complete stop, that's the law.. License and registration, please..!" London Lawyer says, "If you can show me the legal difference between "slow down" and "stop", I'll give you my license and registration and you give me the ticket. If not, you let me go and don't give me the ticket.." Irish Garda says, "Sounds fair.. Exit your vehicle, sir." The London lawyer exits his vehicle. The Irish Garda takes out his baton and starts beating the Hell out of the lawyer with it and says, "Now then.. Do you want me to stop, or just slow down..?"..
  9. PAT & MICK VISIT LONDON Pat & Mick were walking downtown, window shopping and suddenly, they see a sign on a shop front which reads, "Suits £10 each, shirts £2 each, trousers £3 each". Pat says to his buddy, "look there! We could buy a whole car load of these, take 'em back to Dublin, sell 'em, and make a fortune! Just let me do the talkin', 'cause if they hear your accent, they might think we're ignorant, and not wanna sell that stuff to us. I'll talk in a posh English accent, so's they don't know we are Irish." They enter the Shop. Then, with his best fake posh accent, Patsays "I'll take 50 of them suits at £10, 100 of them there shirts at £2, and 50 pairs of them there trousers at £3. I'll back up my ... " The owner of the shop interrupts, "You're Irish aren't you?" "Begorah!," says Mick "how come you knowed that?" The shop owner replies... "Because this is a Dry-Cleaners."
  10. What do cannibals call a woman who is three months pregnant? A slow-cooker. PS; No bun in the oven responses please!
  11. An Airbus 380 is on its way across the Atlantic. It flies consistently at 800 km/h at 30,000 feet, when suddenly a jet fighter appears. The pilot of the fighter jet slows down, flies alongside the Airbus and greets the pilot of the passenger plane by radio: "Airbus, boring flight isn’t it? Now have a look here!" He rolls his jet on its back, accelerates, breaks through the sound barrier, rises rapidly to a dizzying height, and then swoops down almost to sea level in a breathtaking dive. He loops back next to the Airbus and asks: "Well, how was that?" The Airbus pilot answers: "Very impressive, but watch this!" The jet pilot watches the Airbus, but nothing happens. It continues to fly straight, at the same speed. After 15 minutes, the Airbus pilot radios, "Well, how was that? Confused, the jet pilot asks, "What did you do?" The Airbus pilot laughs and says: "I got up, stretched my legs, walked to the back of the aircraft to use the WC, had a quick grope and cuddle with one of the airstews, then got a cup of coffee and a chocolate fudge pastry. Lets see you do that!"

  14. A fishy tail that, on the scale of things, I am dead set against believing! But if I am wrong may I go to Heaven in a cloud of pure white smoke!
  15. Party loyalty is understandable. Cult like idolizing a particular politician MEGAmaniac is not!
  16. "No, it is your BOT that writes the daft stuff, end of............................. A real human could not be so stupid as to support or write the stuff (insert appropriate expletive of your choice) it/he/they/whatever is posting!
  17. What an arrogant attitude! That is probably why to the locals you just don't matter! When in Rome etc!
  18. And you of course unlike most on here (as I believe), you were sold an 'off the shelf' republican worldview so your cultural programming doesn't allow you to consider anything outside of the box which was designed for you to be living in at this moment. That's fine though.
  19. Same for me from Scotland to Thailand! In fact on many occasions the BKK app notifies me of the credit to my BKK account before wise say it has completed. I am of course using the "expenses for living in country" reason!
  20. Woman sends her husband to the doctor, because he has erectile problems He comes home with a bottle of pills. Wife asks, "so, did he give you Viagra, or Cialis?" Guy says, "Neither, he gave me really strong diet pills." Wife says, "that's weird, why would you have to take diet pills?" Handing her the bottle, the man says, "They're not for me. They are for you so take one at breakfast and one at bedtime and he says you must stop ordering takeaway food!."
