  1. The children need either UK visitor visas or UK passports. Present waiting time for 1st time UK passport is about 13 weeks. I guess that a UK visitor visa will take a lot less time - but it will cost a bit more.
  2. I read it about 45 years ago. The title was "And then there were none". I can't remember ever seeing the N* version. I agree with you about the reason for the rewrites. The original who-dun-it plots stand the test of time, but need modernising for younger generations.
  3. Yes! Nothing is more relaxing than having a squad of soldiers milling around the beach while you're sipping your Mai Tai.
  4. You don't think that kids should learn about recent history (1960's USA). There's nothing contentious in this short film (only 10 minutes if you skip the titles and credits).
  5. I couldn't comment on the cost or the cover, but Confused.com is a very well known insurance broker that's been around for years.
  6. Whereas your contributions to this thread have been hilarious <sarcasm>
  7. It was a Brazilian court. The charges were made by human rights groups, not Lewis. It's all in the linked article.
  8. If the placement includes accommodation and utilities, she doesn't drink alcohol, and she can use public transport, 700 GBP per month (around 20 GBP per day) should be enough. Grocery shopping at Aldi or Lidl is fairly cheap and good quality.
  9. That is an absolute bargain. If self employed or working outside the UK one can pay class 2 contributions which are about a quarter of the cost of class 3. Seems unfair to those who worked 30 years+ in the UK and have to pay Class 3 for any missing years, just because they retired abroad - but them's the rules.
  10. Do they get to keep any surplus? (that's a rhetorical question, obviously).
  11. The ones without the strip. With a tick in the photo. I will pay 10฿ each if you have any of the useless ones with the strip.
  12. An English couple, an Irish couple and a Scottish couple are at the links ready to tee off. The Englishman’s wife steps up to the tee first and as she bends over to place ball a gust of wind blows her skirt up and reveals her lack of underwear. “Allo! Why aren’t you wearing any knickers?” her husband demanded. “Well, you don’t give me enough housekeeping money to afford to buy any!” The Brit immediately reaches into his pocket and says, “For the sake of St. George, here’s 50 pounds. Go and buy yourself some underwear.” Next the Irishman’s wife bends over to set her ball on the tee. Her skirt blows up to show that she is wearing no undies. “Bejesus woman! You’ve no knickers! Why not?” She replies, “I can’t afford any on the money you give me!” He reaches into his pocket and says, “For the sake of St. Patrick, here’s 20 pounds. Go and buy yourself some underwear!” Lastly, the Scotsman’s wife bends over. The wind also takes her skirt over her head to reveal that she too is naked under it. “Hoot mon woman! Why d’ye have nae knickers?” She too explains, “You nae give me enough housekeeping money to be able to afford any!” The Scot reaches into his pocket and says, “For the sake of St. Andrew, lass, here’s a comb. Tidy yourself up a wee bit.”
