Say what you mean, don't just think it. We are not all Mr Spock

Some shops do have contact card payment in Thailand, I was quite surprised the first time I saw it available, although it was a UNICLO shop.

You are making a mistake by tarring 'OLD' people with the same brush. I happen to be 4 score years and counting, doesn't mean I am beyond learning. QR codes were a challenge, but I mastered it within a few goes, now its second nature. As to 'anything and everything new, I've seen many, many new things in my life time, and hope to see many more. I doubt you remember this?

There is one major problem with these petitions. They are never debated in parliament, but in Westminster hall. A notice is posted of the date and time, then those who feel they have the time to attend, do so. The petition is put to a vote, but 9 times out of ten it is refused. Even in the rare event of a petition passing a vote, it then goes to the leader of the house. However, S/he is advised there are more pressing matters to attend to. It is then decided there is not enough parliamentary time and is quietly forgotten about.

Which word in the Oxford English dictionary is spelt incorrectly?

Wherever did you find the word 'gotton'? It is not in any English dictionary. It is even underlined in red to show it is a mistake.

But at what Cost?

Australia is a world away from the UK, and although your scenario is possible it is quite rare. Although from what I read in the UK news, it is getting worse. The reason for that? Who knows, but lack of discipline from an early age is a good instance.

The OP has been seriously misinformed here. Depending on the reason for a call out, almost all UK police cars are equipped with firearms and a trained firearms officer. Unlike a certain country, the UK police do not go in heavy handed, guns blazing, to a domestic disturbance, when there is no necessity. However, there are times when armed police are in plain sight, which in most cases is a deterrent.

Light travels faster then sound. Which is why some people appear bright, until the talk to you!

Hydrogen Peroxide is a BLEACH and can do considerable damage in the wrong hands. As to ones ears? No way!

I use TunnelBear and have no problems at most times. Sometimes slow at 08 to 08:30, but mostly TunnelBear does not interfere with my UK connections.

Not surprised its closed, I can remember it from 30 years ago.

I last used TNT and the documents were received in the UK DWP within 4 days. The cost is not much more than the EMS Post, but much quicker.

I remember a song entitled, 'Anything Go's'. Perhaps that's title of the book the RTP uses?

Ah! You mean like nailing jelly to a tree?

It not the Mods one has to worry about, just look out for the Rockers!

As do one or two other countries around the area.

Taking the shopping list to the local corner shop with the ration book, every Thursday. Buying 2 OXO for half penny on the way to school The winter of 47 Devastation of being caught in the tin bath by my sisters friend at the age of 7. I didn't know things back then! Following the dust cart hoping to collect the horse manure to sell @ 3pence a bucket full First visit to London 1951, first train ride, first sight of an escalator and first sight of a TV 2 days off school due to death of King George VI Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II Things have changed. For better or worse? 50/50 is my guess.

That is for local business/property tax, not income.

Some see those doing what they think is good, turns out to be really really bad. Its the do gooders who are causing the main problem, and some.

No, No, No. A convent in Christchurch, possibly?

Where are the strings and who is pulling them?

Have you seen the inside of trump's head? Not a pretty sight, or is it?

I don't drink beer, its not that I don't like it, it doesn't like me. It has me running to the loo every five minutes about half way down the bottle. A good Gin, Rum or Whiskey and I'm fine for the evening. Wouldn't touch the stuff in the day time. Each to their own.
