And never will ???

You owe her nothing. Kick her out, or move away. There are plenty of good women out there who would be happy to find a nice guy to take care of them.

Update: Now at 0.485, almost back to the buying price - yippee!. On the other hand I've had 269% average profit on some TRX bought between 2021 and 2023. I just play with a few hundred dollars for fun.

Lifelong supporter of Labour here. I think it's disgusting that the PM can't find a few minutes to meet this lady and listen to her grievance. What is he scared of?

The question is now moot. I found a good deal on a Honda CRV auto at Manchester airport, just under 1,000GBP for 30 days, including full excess cover. Topic can be closed.

As I've said before - I opened my Wise account whilst living in Thailand. Wise will not issue cards, physical or virtual for Thai accounts. I wish they would, it would be a great convenience for me.

Not available. I was already living in Thailand when I opened my Wise account.

Not available if you opened your account in Thailand.

Just to clarify. I can't use Wise to pay online shopping sites (Lazada etc) or to purchase flights, as these sites require card payment.

I keep a GBP balance with Wise. I enter the amount due in THB and send it. No need to keep a THB balance. Takes a few seconds to arrive.

I pay for wine orders, car insurance, maintenance fees, health insurance and a few other thing using Wise, and I don't have a Wise card (not available for Thailand accounts). You just need the name and bank a/c details of the vendor and add them as recipient then send the money. Wise provides a reference for the transaction, which you can copy and send to the vendor to confirm.

I will be visiting the UK for a holiday with my wife and daughter from mid March to mid April next year, and I will need to rent a car for 30 days. I can drive stick shift but, having got used to automatics for the past 20 years here, I much prefer automatics. However, in the UK an auto ICE is at least 50% more expensive to hire than manual. Electric cars are available at around the same cost as manual ICE cars (e.g.- 750GBP for EV compared to 1,200GBP for ICE) so it makes sense to go EV. I believe that charging stations are plentiful in the UK, so I'm not concerned about that. I have never driven an EV and I will be getting off the plane and literally stepping into one (looking at an SUV Jeep EV). So my question is: Is there any significant difference in driving an EV, compared to an auto ICE. What do I need to know? Any advice is appreciated.

I seek out movies or series which have a plot she can follow and I pause the action, occasionally, to explain things that she may have missed due to the language gap. If she or I need to take a break to brew a cup of tea (her) or pour another beer (me), or even answer the phone, I hit the pause button until we are settled down to watch again. At the moment we are watching a lot of Agatha Christie whodunits. She loves it when she guesses the identity of the murderer before me. We are 68 and 56, so not of the tiktok generation.

I never get tired of these ...

I was told It's Ma'am as in charm, not Mam as in spam or Mum as in chum.

IMO the TUC has no business sticking their nose into international affairs. Trades unions exist to seek the best wages and conditions for their members. The BBC is supposed to be an impartial broadcaster of news and affairs, regardless of race or religion. How would people react if the Police Federation (representing the rank and file of UK coppers) encouraged their members to wear Israeli or Palestinian flags on their uniforms?

I think you may have stumbled across an answer to GG's original question. Tear the sheets into strips, plait them into a rope and ...

Maybe not vertical, but sloping down to 10 metres. Drift mine style. That would make it easier to dig out and remove the soil/rock.

Do you mean detecting or committing?

Of course it will.

I don't understand why your landlord is involved at all. Surely this is a matter between you and the Juristic management. You like the place because of disabled access, are there no other rooms for rent there?

The horn blowing is to scare away the ghosts of all the people who died there.
