BUT BUT BUT .... we did get a blue colour passport, we did get control of our own borders (ooops but we are not capable of that), we did get rid of the EU laws (errr but reinstated most of them as our laws), we did get an extra 350 million pounds a week to pay for the NHS (so why is it still struggling?), we did make the UK stronger (ooops Scotland wants out and the Northern Irish are in turmoil), we did get our trade deal with the USA (ooops not yet), we did get to cut out all the EU beurocracy and paper work (tell that to the importers and exporters who have gone out of business), we did get rid of an unelected pseudo government (but replaced it with a bunch of rabble in power and opposition that are both efffing useless).

 

What did we get? It continues to confuse me.

Shafted...

Maybe try to conceal it better. Who would ship a cheap "waterkoker" to Thailand that probably costs minimum 20 Euros in Rotterdam when you could get same from Lazada for 200 baht?

You refer to a very common problem with minor criminals.  To commit  a crime you must be in control of most (if not all) factors, else you will be consigned to the slammer.

Scally is just a Scouse shortening of the word scallywag, defined as "a person, typically a child, who behaves badly but in an amusingly mischievous rather than harmful way; a rascal."

Thank you.  That perfectly explains why the rest of us refer to you jolly rascals as scallys.  It makes sense it is derived from scallywag, but interesting that the language use has defined the users in this case,

A Magaluf Scally is typical of Blue collar/ Factory/ Supermarket, generally low skilled and low paid workers that work all year to go get slaughtered for two weeks.

 

 They misbehave in Benidorm or Magaluf, which are hot spots for young guys 18-30,  whose sole intention is to get drunk or drugged out of their mind, walk around generally annoying people, loud and obnoxious etc and just not good people to be around.

 

 

 

But wait- a 'scally' is a scouser, meaning no offence on your name of course.

Other than that I think the OP was being a bit liberal with his language in order express his utter abhorrence of these dreadful louts.

Good for Ol' Joe getting this passed. As he said at the signing ceremony,

 

 "When a person can be married in the morning and thrown out of a restaurant for being gay in the afternoon, this is still wrong."

 

Uh......what? Where in the U S of A does that happen? Or is Joe just maundering on in a nostalgic haze, as usual...

It's probably a bit figurative for you, but I believe he is referring to the habit of our least tolerant fellows refusing to serve minorities whose lifestyles they don't like.

An "Apostile" is accepted by 100 + countries.

Only the highly respected Thailand does not recognize it.

Thanks for that info Dr Joy.  While not something I knew about, I'm not surprised by our hosts being a bit behind the curve on this or anything else.  That was kind of my point too about exactly who is asking.  The OP may think that he has to get this, but when it comes down to it, perhaps he has already been misguided.  Both the Dept of Education and TCT have wanted me to show proof of degree, but I have never been asked for this in all my dealings as a teacher over 20 years.

No surprise. Many of us have been talking about how corrupt the EU is for years.

 

Thank goodness we left.

The encouraging thing to note about the EU is they take this corruption seriously and attempt to tackle it.  Our lot in the UK just let that crook Mone slope off overseas to hide with her stolen 29 mill.

A pertinent question I think:  Exactly who will not accept your degree without notorisation?

Yes. Evidence.

 

I have no interest in Musk fanboys, but thanks for the offer.

Really? I find that most surprising.  They like you are "unbiased".

Elon has shown himself to be a hypocrite of note and so horribly fragile it hurts.  That 'only 10% were booing' followed up some time later on by blaming it on a fight breaking out in the audience was particularly cringe inducing.

What comes to mind is make it look like an accident 007.

You are referring to that well known meme?  You are considering that someone should be assassinated?  What a strange duck you are.

The tories have broken the NHS so they can sell it for pennies to enrich their own.  It seems like a general strike may be needed to force these grifters out of power.

The Mail doing what it does so well, raking muck, flinging faeces and no doubt as usual lying to its readers. What a dreadful rag.  There was a time when it was not an approved source here.  Wiki won't even accept it anymore.

And care with such ‘heightened emotion’.

 

I have been quite surprised at the hot-headed and quite vitriolic responses this topic has been getting from our gammonati friends.  I can't get that excited about it at all, though it seems like there is plenty of bad feeling to go round in the House of Windsor these days.

effective classroom management

Yes.  I manage a maximum of thirty (relatively) motivated upper M kids per class, and have been doing for twenty years.  Fifty young adults many of whom had zero interest would be daunting to me though.

50% for participation and the rest is gravy,

TO ADD: Try and get a job at a better school.
