  1. IMHO you should have initially ironed out all the prerequisites with H.O. /call centre - taken the responder's name, made a list, and confirmed it all back to him/her. Then gone to SCB main branch on 2nd Road and if faced with anything different ask for the manager and explain H.O.'s instructions and if needs be offer to call back to the name you have. I've found this, all done politely and respectfully always cuts through the sheee-ite that at times emanates like a fighter jets defensive chaff at the lesser branches
  2. Exactly, waltzing would be crass The polka more in keeping...
  3. The logical progression after buying imaginary property with real money (should have made a quick sketch and told sellers 'there's an artists impression of what the money will look like')
  4. Seriously The foundation bought the property without inspecting the restrictive covenants 555555 I hope their conveyancing lawyers are up to date with their professional liability insurance
  5. What deterrents?: Criminal status. Instant Lifetime/indefinitely barred from any UK entry Zero benefits. 'Refugee camp' basic life support amenities while on UK soil Then self fund their stay and pay for repatriation before being expelled Australia's scourge of Veitnamese Boat People was from earlier times - they turned em round on the water (in some cases kind enough to fuel em up for their return trip)
  6. Of course, a few Royal Marines given carte blanc would stop them all in a heartbeat....but never going to happen It is of course all about risk vs reward If you keep fete'ing them with god sent benefits when they arrive in country of course they'll keep on a'comin Make it so there's no point in coming and they wont (a big ask of "2-tier" Keir the very barrister who in his former life facilitated/incepted these very handouts they flock to) Seemed very easy for Australia with the Viet 'boat people' when they successfully about turned that invasion
  7. Airlines, busses with wings with a legion of back office suits, who exist to find different ways of inventing ever more non-existent things that can be paid for.
  8. Why ask? Put it by the bins If it bears a scintilla of value It's gone in a flash
  9. Manchester Tart was always popular (& a welcome lead line for unwelcome comments to the dinner ladies)
  10. Tell them NO sugar Then the calories will be in the carbs...rice and noodles are the villains of the piece
  11. I just completed this quiz. My Score 80/100 My Time 120 seconds  
  12. Unless that 'fatal' is caused by eating it - then it's not poisonous (Duh indeed) it's venomous please read a dictionary
  13. Mmmm A country that owned an empire upon which the sun never set - built by men of vision and tenacity. The bed-wetting invertebrates in charge now can't even hold on to the remnants of the little tiny domain that's left
  14. Yes the auto-diallers can display a pre-determined fake number as the caller ID. This circumvents call-blockers by always using fresh 'bona-fide' numbers. The other more nefarious M.O. is the use a very expensive premium rate number for the unwary to call back to naively. Also a lot of auto-diallers put the call through to a human call handler (scammer) only when a voice actually answers so that time is only spent on live fishes on the hook. This is what is happening when you answer and SAY NOTHING and the call drops in seconds. Or when the oh-so-real voice bot gets no answer to the questions it asked and similarly the call drops.
  15. The only welcome in Wales is kept in the hillside (so the song goes)
  16. Vick vapour rub (or its facsimiles) works surprisingly well coat the affected nails completely and consistently
  17. I concur. You'll only be impersonating the futility of King Canute with the kaput SIM in the mix and not physically being in the UK. Having been in the reverse situation - being in the UK when the Thai SIM registered with both my Thai banks drew it's last breath. It's a nightmare. Only one of my Thai banks permits registering an additional second phone #/SIM (switchable on-line) which was set up too on my return to LOS.
  18. Probably, because Wise would also be a 'new payee' he would be right back where he started To the OP go with Nationwide's App (most things authorised by biometrics, failing that using digits from your login number)- what's to lose?
  19. Surely they could just claim IRA membership (been okay for them for decades)
  20. Simple go back to the location of the last phone use look for a deep unscalable ravine covered at the bottom with deep undergrowth
  21. The biggest gang what d'you expect
  22. Never mind If only they were waving Palestinian flags and screeching for the extermination of every jew 'from the river to the sea' then of course they would all suffer the full weight of the law passive indifference. (two-tier policing has now actually morphed into openly two-tier policymaking)
  23. All that & a full harvest of produce for market with a chair on top for sightseeing
  24. Would have been a bread n butter rescue for Skippy
