  1. Something to do with Newton. Am I on the right wavelength?
  2. Forget speed cameras on multi-lane dual carriageways miles from residential areas. Concentrate on cameras at pedestrian crossings in urban areas - especially near schools - or in accident blackspots. And, of course, jumping red lights.
  3. I guess all the police are too busy keeping the roads safe and have no time to protect their own back yard. They should be turning hoses on these filthy animals.
  4. Will the guest list include Bob, and Colin from Dorset?
  5. In Thailand it's give way to the left, except at roundabouts.
  6. I asked my Welsh mate how many sex partners he'd had. He started to count them, but he fell asleep.
  7. Maybe he's a podophiliast and he's the one paying
  8. Before April 2016 (basic state pension) you could opt to be paid weekly. Seems possible that fortnightly may have been an option too. New state pension is paid 4-weekly or 13-weekly.
  9. You managed not to laugh at this?
  10. I just completed this quiz. My Score 50/100 My Time 234 seconds  
  11. You trying to tell me that WWF is fixed - Nooooooo!
  12. No "back story" in my case. I was a Barclays customer for almost 40 years. Salary (then pension) paid into my account on the first working day of every month without fail. Never overdrawn. A few car loans and a mortgage over the years, which were never defaulted. I moved to Thailand in 2005 and notified Barclays of my new address. Carried on using the account for purchases here and in the UK, plus regular transfers to my BBL account for living expenses. Completely out of the blue in 2021 I received a letter informing me that I must close my account within a few months, or Barclays would close it.
  13. Not diarrhea, but certainly loosens thing up. Yes, every time.
  14. Financials for my latest extension at Jomtien (late October): 12 month statement, Copy of each page of bank book (going back 12 months), Bank letter stating that I hold an account (BBL) and current balance, Separate bank letter listing each of the monthly foreign transfers, Proof of where the money came from. I produced a letter from my pension provider, showing the monthly and annual amount - this was accepted.
  15. You should have saved this topic for April 1st, and presented it as a factual report of the latest DEI rule for the sport.
  16. In such circumstances does the pilot announce that an engine has failed? I would have thought it better to just get on and land the plane without scaring the passengers.
  17. That bloody ribbon will be no help either.
  18. British tourists spent nearly 20Billion Euros in Spain in 2023. You would think the Spanish might not want to put obstacles in their way. https://www.ifema.es/en/fitur/news/british-market-tourist-spending-spain In 2023, 17.8 million British people visited Spain, making it the most popular destination for UK residents. This was a 21% share of all visits abroad by UK residents. Explanation In 2023, the UK spent €19.9 billion in Spain, which was 18.4% of the total spent by tourists in the country. The average British visitor spent €1,151 per day and stayed for 6.9 nights. The number of British visitors to Spain in 2023 was slightly lower than in 2019, before the COVID-19 pandemic. The Spanish Tourist Office expects 18.8 million UK visitors in 2024, which is a 5% increase from 2019.
  19. I just completed this quiz. My Score 40/100 My Time 192 seconds  
  20. I seem to recall that @simon43 is a radio enthusiast. Maybe he will join your topic with some tips.
  21. Maybe this from the link in the OP ... "That list also includes former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and his top aide, Brian Hook, as well as former National Security Adviser John Bolton – all of whom, like Milley, had been targeted by Iran for assassination."
  22. Q: Why does a classic French omelette contain only one egg? A: Because, in France, one egg is un oeuf.
