  1. The "British Broadcasting Conservatives". A case in point is Question Time. It used to be a good balanced watch with David Dimbleby but the awful Fiona Bruce continually interrupts everyone except Tories and Reform panellists.
  2. While UK passport holders are recommended, you can use professional non-UK citizens to countersign your photos. You'll need to provide their passport details and contact information and it may mean that the renewal process takes longer. Alternatively, why not use an agent, as I'm sure they can facilitate this for you.
  3. And how is your personal choice relevant to this topic? 🤔
  4. Looks like a normal day, especially the day after a public holiday.
  5. You're not the only to think that, yet it's had the highest ratings of all 3 seasons. Personally, I love it and can hardly contain myself to find out how it will end. I still think Season 1 was better, but this Season beats 2 which I was a little disappointed with.
  6. I'm no fan of Mr Brand, but I agree; 20 years is a long time and no one can claim to have perfect memories. I suspect that like Kevin Spacey, he will get off even if it comes to trial, which I doubt.
  7. I don't think the TDAC and TM30 are connected, so yes I suspect you will, if your Immigration office requires it.
  8. Ah, OK. I was responding to your final point which was about the present. (" I understand that there's only one other officially approved full-service that is only contactable via the Facebook platform. It's called "xxxx" sending machine (I forget the guy's name, hence the xxxx)."
  9. Correct. Although they are part of the EEA, not that either fact makes a difference to the point I was trying to correct!
  10. I know my facts. Hope this helps: Before September 10, 2018: If you renewed your passport before the old one expired, the unexpired time (up to 9 months) would be added to the new passport's validity. After September 10, 2018: This practice ended, and passports issued after this date are valid for exactly 10 years. Why the change? This change aligned the UK with other countries, which generally issue passports with a maximum validity of 10 years. Impact on travel to the EU: Since the UK left the EU, British passports issued more than 10 years before travel to EU countries (except Ireland, Iceland, Norway, Lichtenstein and Switzerland) are no longer valid.
  11. A great result. The beginning of the end for Musk, one would hope.
  12. No. It was an inspection of Walking Street (not Pattaya) and they found no evidence of prostitution on that night, which was not surprising as all the street hookers had vanished. Not that WS is popular for soliciting anyway, unlike Beach Road. The gogos and beer bars on Walking Street are not breaking any prostitution laws.
  13. I agree. While Season 3 has been a slow burner, I can't wait for Sunday's 90-minute finale!
  14. An interesting read. It's all the Europeans' fault! https://mythailand.blog/2017/02/24/thailand-topless-women/
  15. Good question. Assuming that people who have not completed it are still allowed to board the flight at the point of departure, I would guess they will have to complete it in the arrivals area, just like they would have had to have done with the paper TM6. Or maybe, during the flight, cabin crew will go around checking that everyone has completed one and help those who have not (like they did with the paper TM6 cards)?
  16. There are lots of agents who can deal with UK passport renewals and applications - including a sponsor of this Forum!
  17. Absolutely! I love Vegas, so would be interesting to compare. My wife will love the slots!
  18. Yes, I think @Batty has acknowledged that. His misfortune is for something to go very wrong with the processing in the UK and HMPO having no idea how UK passports are renewed for people who live in Thailand. I too hope he gets it sorted soon!
  19. The King is very much a multi-faith King, as was made clear at his Coronation. The UK is a multi-cultural country and has a multi-faith population. Personally, I couldn't care less about having a King and favour a republic, but as Kings go, I'm happy with Charles.
