The superhighways are OK, sure, but get off them and try to drive around - university area is insane. I hated driving a car in C M and refused in the end unless just going on superhighway to the north.

I lived there in 2018, and traffic insane, but it always was around the moat, even in 1974. C M problems are IMO because there is no planning by council, and council doesn't keep place clean, or carry out maintenance. They didn't even do anything for New Year like Pattaya did. Worst nightlife of a tourist place in LOS. Public transport is a bad joke with rip off red songtheaws. I stayed there because didn't want night life and it was cheaper than Pattaya.

I'm pretty sure your idea of a night club does not include a stage with 20 naked women on it. I had no problem doing an all nighter in Nana.

Do any posters on here visit LOS with small children? LOL. I have zero interest in what people with children want, and I did care about adult entertainment when I spent large to visit Thailand. If I wanted the most boring night life on the planet I could have stayed home. Anyone wants to go to bed early with a book were never impeded from doing so.

Rubbish. Back when 2 am closing was "uncommon" some places stayed open full of happy customers till nearer dawn. In Nana there were 2 gogos that closed after dawn. In Pattaya I'm pretty sure some bars never closed. Certainly there was always some place open.

So he decides to make it about antisemitism. He must be a real ball of fun at parties. Surely he could have made that speech any time?

Did you even read my reply before posting? I said "but I assume your "lap issue" is an off topic reference to Hunter Biden." I bolded the relevant part so you can't miss it.

I doubt Republicans will change the law to make it easier for people to immigrate, which IMO is what Democrats want.

I can better that. I discovered a knife switch in the family house carport that was wired directly to the live cables outside the house ie no safety breaker at all, and missing the cover, which meant anyone touching any metal part would fry. Cunningly, a load of stuff was put over it so one didn't know it was there till tidying up the carport. My SafeT Cut wouldn't have saved me from that one. I covered it up with a plastic box, and actually used it to run an arc welder that kept tripping the circuit breaker.

Taped joints would have been an improvement on the bare wires up in the roof of the family house.

Boggle away then.

https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/todays-immigration-debate-rooted-reagan-amnesty-experts-say But whatever specific policies are being fought over now, immigration experts say the problem took root at least 30 years ago, when President Ronald Reagan signed a 1986 immigration law that has become known as the “Reagan Amnesty” and allowed roughly 3 million people in the country illegally to gain legal status. The 1986 law was intended to create a new era of enforcement, including strict enforcement of the new law that barred employers from hiring workers who don’t have permission to work in the United States. But that never fully materialized.

Do tell. When Biden stops the wall being worked on leaving lots of gaps it sure seems like he and the Democrats want an open border. Sealing the border is a solution, even if not your preferred option.

Perhaps the UK should become more like France then?

Hurrah for that.

It's a disincentive, where none existed before. When one has sold the family farm to send one son to the UK by paying criminal gangs, one wants to be pretty sure they will be able to stay in the UK if they reach it. If there is a chance they will be sent to Rwanda instead, one may hesitate to sell the land.

I doubt the French would allow it. Perhaps just tow them back to the middle and point them in the direction of France.

Presumably the refugees being swapped for will be vetted and approved, unlike those that came by paying criminals to do so.

Perhaps it's then relevant to understand why the rest are "overprivileged and spoilt". After all she was their mother, as well as queen.

I wrote before he became king that I hoped he would decline, or at least abdicate shortly after assuming the kingship. Sadly I am disappointed that he means to serve out his time in the big chair. I stand by my opinion that only William can save the institution, and IMO the longer Charles remains king the less likely there will be an institution to pass on to William ( perhaps just in England ). I thought that at the least Charles would remember what it felt like to be the king in waiting for so long, but seems that he just wants to be king too much.

Indeed and all that free publicity. One could imagine that it was all planned in advance to generate views of what seems to be a rather boring expose of one's family.

Seems like he apologised to me. Perhaps you see it differently.

I'm not surprised his "apology" has outraged his followers. When Clarkson aplogises for IMO something his thousands of followers agree with it's like the world has gone woke. I read the BBC link and agree with what Clarkson wrote initially.

If not for the likes I wouldn't know who you were supporting, but I assume your "lap issue" is an off topic reference to Hunter Biden. Hopefully his turn will be coming post 3 January 2023.

Off topic.
