  1. 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.
  2. Whereas your contributions to this thread have been hilarious <sarcasm>
  3. It was a Brazilian court. The charges were made by human rights groups, not Lewis. It's all in the linked article.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. I think it might be possible, but expensive. Confused.com
  7. Do they get to keep any surplus? (that's a rhetorical question, obviously).
  8. 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.
  9. Sixty-nine (no photo)
  10. 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.”
  11. That cow must be Friesian.
  12. Why do goblins have big ears? Because Noddy wouldn't pay the ransom.
  13. Link to the TIME article - https://time.com/collection/worlds-greatest-places-2023/ and how they were chosen - https://time.com/6262346/how-we-chose-2023-worlds-greatest-places/
  14. All I know is that I received a letter from Barclay's stating that I must close my account as I do not reside in the UK. If I don't close it they will do so on 31st August 2023. So, the requirement is that I reside in the UK, which I don't and will not in the forseeable future. I don't know whether this is a legal requirement, or just Barclay's deciding that it's better for their business.
