  1. Years ago, the traditional way to deal with a factious infant was a sharp slap to the back of the legs and sent to bed without milk and cookies. Come on America.... control your brat!
  2. When pressed on his statement that US nukes were better than Russian nukes Trump added "and anyway my dad is bigger than Putin's dad....so there!"
  3. The US national debt is now over 38 Trillion dollars. It increased by 1 Trillion dollars between August and October 2025. source:- FoxBusiness The debt increases by 8 billion dollars EVERY day Where has all the tariff money gone?
  4. The US National Debt is now 38 Trillion USD. It has increased by 2 Trillion USD under Trumps presidency. 555
  5. The President of the United States is 'a thin skinned geriatric with a Kindergarten mentality'. Trump is uncouth, he has no 'class', he has no code, he has no hono(u)r. Trump is despicable.
  6. When Infant - Ino met Infant - Trumpo
  7. Thanks for that. I am hoping that I have 'satisfied' them by 'clicking the button' so I will wait and see what happens in the next few days. The deadline was 27th October so there is a little 'wiggle' room if they do require further info.
  8. Thanks for the reply, I hope you are right!
  9. Can anyone tell me if the 'Red Banner' disappears when you have confirmed your address? If you do not confirm, does it remain? I got the banner on Tuesday morning when I opened the Wise app. I clicked on the banner and then on the button marked 'confirm address'. I expected to be taken to a page where I would have to supply some more information, but nothing happened. I closed the app and later reopened it, expecting to see the banner, but no, nothing, no mention of confirming my address. I then logged-in to the Wise website on my laptop and there was no sign of the red banner and, again, no mention of confirming my address. I then checked my email and found one from Wise, from the previous day, asking me to confirm my address, again with a button to press. However, the button had the text blanked out but I clicked on it and the action took me back to the 'home' page of my account. Still no mention of confirming address. Later in the day I received a payment to my Wise account and also made a transfer. Both actions were as normal with the transfer to Thailand being 'in seconds'. still no mention of confirming address. Is it possible that I have confirmed simply by clicking on the 'confirm' button? It is rather concerning as i use Wise quite often and would be 'lost' without its convenience.
  10. There have been a number of issues reported regarding the time taken to complete Wise transfers to Thailand. Last Friday I transfered 5,000 baht directly from my UK Wise account to Krung Thai bank, it took 9 seconds to complete. Today, Monday, I transfered 4,000 baht to the same Krung Rhai account, again complete in 9 seconds. I also transfered 18,500 baht to a Krung Sri (yellow) Bank account which akso conpleted in 9 seconds. Having read of so many problems regardibg Wise transfers to Thailand recently, I am happy to report this excellent service from Wise The bank holiday did not affect the deposit of my transfers in the two Thai accounts.
  11. The US has never faced a foe like Trump. During the events you list there was never any doubt about the impartiality of the Supreme Court, there was never any issue of separation of the government and the judiciary. The events you list are either external attacks or limited to particular sectors of the 'body' of the country. The threat trump presents is that of a 'cancer', all pervasive and moving from 'organ to organ'. America, and consequently the free world, has never faced such dark times.

  13. The consummate Flim-Flam Man sold his 'Snake Oil' to the people whose cupboards were already overflowing with the stuff.
  14. You haven't received notification about this due to Musk firing all the staff that would normally undertake this work. Welcome to Trump 2.0
  15. Thank for the response Hotandsticky. I contacted UK Gov pensions by phone when my January payment did not arrive at the usual time. They told me that they prepare payments around10 days prior to deposit date so maybe the money is being moved around by Citbank prior to deposit with Wise. Everything was running smoothly, for all pension payments, until the start of 2025 since when the UK gov pension is no longer arriving 'on time'.
  16. Thank you for the reply Moolover. Until the start of this year, 2025, I have always received both private pension and UK gov pension a few minutes before or after 8.30am UK time. So far this year I have received my January private pensions as normal but both January and February UK gov pensions have been delayed by a few hours. In January the UK gov pension turned up around 11.40am UK time and February payment finally arrived in Wise at 10.25am UK time. I do not think there is a major issue and waiting a couple of hours for the money to be available is not a 'game changer' but it just seems strange that it only affects UK gov pension and only started to happen at the start of this year.
  17. I have my UK Gov. pension and private pensions paid directly to my Wise account in the UK. Until this year the money from all pensions would be deposited in my Wise account a few minutes before, or after, 8.30am on the due dates. My private pensions continue to be received at this time while, in January and February 2025 the money from UK gov. pension has failed to be deposited until several hours later in the day. I contacted UK work and pensions, by phone, when the payment did not arrive on time in January as usual. They assured me that they have changed nothing regarding the payment system and that the payments are prepared around 10 days prior to the due date for deposit. Have any other UK government pension recipients, on the forum, had any similar issues with later arrival of UK pension payments, direct to Wise, since the start of the new year 2025? Thanks, Prem
  18. During his election campaign, Trump would regularly play the Village people song 'YMCA' and even got the current line-up of the band to appear during his inauguration celebrations. Back in the 1970's, Pete Townshend wrote the lyrics to his song 'Behind Blue Eyes'. These lyrics a far more apt for the current occupant of the White House. No one knows what it's like To be the bad man To be the sad man Behind blue eyes No one knows what it's like To be hated To be fated To telling only lies But my dreams They aren't as empty As my conscience seems to be I have hours, only lonely My love is vengeance That's never free This song could be played when the current occupant of the White House makes public appearances, replacing the traditional 'Hail to the (Felon in) Chief.
  19. To paraphrase Neil Armstrong in 1969 "One small bullet in a man, one giant leap for mankind"
  20. So you have made a 180 turn, you do, in fact, support Child Genital Mutilation and you are a, in fact, a victim of MGM
  21. "The Cult of Not Supporting Child Gential Mutilation" Are you not aware that in the US 90% of the male population are victims of Male Genital Mutilation (MGM)? This takes place, in most cases, in the early days of the child's life. Go figure!
  22. Regardless of tariffs, Americans will undoubtedly 'pay-through-the nose' for this spat with Colombia
