When is she planning to go? If you have time just renew the UK passport from Thailand. I did it recently for my daughter and it only took three weeks although they advised six weeks if I remember correctly. It is not done online but you have to make an appointment to submit the application in person (your wife can do it, your daughter does not need to attend in person). You don't mention where your wife and daughter are as this will make a huge difference. Where in the country are they? If in Bangkok or Chiang Mai just do it yourself. If elsewhere maybe consider an agent. Will she be travelling alone? I think sending her alone with an expired UK passport would be unnecessary stress even if it is technically feasible. Give us the missing information and we can give you better advice.

You would have a source from where you copy and pasted this list from right? Care to share it?

That's why (well not the only reason by a long way) Reform would be a disaster in Government. They have no idea how to govern, they have no actual thought out plans, and when a few of them do get elected they either don't turn up or they quit because it is either too hard or their racism comes to light. Easier to shout abuse from outside than try to govern from the inside. https://hopenothate.org.uk/2025/06/13/dropping-like-flies-reform-loses-nine-councillors-in-six-weeks/ All they can do is foghorn from the sidelines, shout about boats boats - the boats!! But that is the sum total of their manifesto, and that is the core of their existence - it is easy to shout criticism from the sidelines, it is much harder to actually do things. They couldn't run a bath.

He accused me of being you the other day. Poor guy is losing the plot. So angry at imagined scenarios and conspiracies that he doesn't know if he's coming or going. (Wish it was the latter)

And riclag, and yagoda. Right wing conspiracy mentalists, they must all be the same. But seriously it is so childish - and illogical - to make accusations of anonymous internet posters having a second anonymous internet account to post more anonymous internet stuff.

And again. No engagement or debate on the point in hand. Deflect, run away, pop up in a while with more misinformed or deliberately slanted nonsense.

Typical response when challenged with facts, deflect then run away. Never ever ever answer a direct question. Too much for you to take in, it must be hard to be informed of facts that make you realise you've been duped. I might deflect and run away too if that happened, boo hoo, but then it would never happen as I like to look for context and independently verify things I am told rather than immediately bash my keyboard and make myself look stupid.......as you did.

Best post in this thread. I know the bar was not set very high, but you're spot on.

jeez, he's off again, he's become obsessed with a female celebrity and gets kicks out of hurling insults at her on an anonymous forum. You also had a nasty obsession with Anthony Bourdain's ex wife on here didn't you? A stalker in the making going by your constant and ugly way of talking about them.

You are either being deliberately dense or you are parroting sensationalism without checking for yourself. Don't worry it is common in your world. She did not make that as a literal comment. She didn't even make the comment herself. It was a tweet from a parody account that she liked and retweeted. When she realised that morons were (probably deliberately) taking it literally she took it down, a whole 8 minutes after it went up. But people like you still bang on about it and deliberately twist it. The knuckleheads at "Leave EU" had to pay her damages after calling her a "grooming gangs apologist" based on a parody that was up for eight minutes. Especially bad considering she has worked for more than 20 years on child abuse, violence against women, and grooming, and it is all on record. So, you know, she actually does stuff to protect victims of grooming gangs, unlike people like Yaxley-Lennon who do nothing but jump on bandwagons to whip up the masses for donations. That makes comments like yours even more distasteful and repugnant as she has done more against grooming gangs than all of your heroes put together. They publicly apologised and accepted Ms Shah was a "vociferous campaigner for victims of grooming gangs", and said their post was “ill-judged and untrue”. Maybe you can do the same? Or if not will you admit you have been mislead and genuinely believed what you were told to believe without checking for yourself? Either one of the two would be acceptable.

Weird how it differs so much. I have only ever used a Google Map print out with an asterisk on my house and co-ordinates and it's always been accepted (CW). But I know some offices insist on hand drawn. Odd.

Read my post again.

I have to say I don't really like Ricky Jones but you do yourself no favours when you slant things so ridiculously. He was not "indicating what he would like done to people who reject the influx of illegals". In the full speech, and this was covered in court, he was clearly talking about the people who had left NF stickers on trains with razor blades concealed behind them (so whoever removes them gets hurt), and also leaving razor blades between seats. “You’ve got women and children using these trains during the summer holidays. They don’t give a s*** about who they hurt. They are disgusting Nazi fascists. We need to cut all their throats and get rid of them all.” Please keep things in context. It was not about people who might have legitimate concerns about illegal immigration and want to voice their opinions in a civilised manner and who would be willing to engage in discourse to find a reasonable solution. It was about racists leaving NF stickers with razor blades on trains.

And what price do they set theirs to?

See, that's why you should never leave things to AI, your version is better.

Gemini please summarise this thread: Sure, it's a bunch a nasty, bitter old misogynists who can't stand to see successful women because it highlights their own inadequacies and failures in life (and love), and they give themselves semis every time they use the word "slut". Leave them to wallow in their own pathetic hatred and move on the usual threads full of flag wrapped racists blaming all of their life failures on immigrants.

In BarraMarra land anyone who has a different opinion or isn't rabidly right wing nodding in approval and wrapping themselves in a flag = thread wrecker. That's usually followed by a hissy fit and a flounce.

Nope. Are you signed in on more than one device? It's only allowed to be used on one device at a time.

Wow, we have another Riclag. Are you locked in the same basement?

You see it all the time on here when there is a report of a 2nd or 3rd generation Brit committing a crime the first comments by the mouth breathers are always "He's not British", "nice English name there", "being born in a stable does not make you a donkey" etc etc.

I wouldn't have used it either as I want live to be live, and don't want someone to text me about a goal while I have paused it to go get a sandwich. But I can see why other people might like it.

That is such a lame "argument", it really is. She hates the brown people and is happy for people to set fire to them, but because "immigrant" is not a race she isn't racist. Got it.

AH, ok, I didn't have that feature on my system - maybe I was on an older box, or maybe I just didn't notice it. I can see the use in that.

Bacon report: excellent. Thick cut, no water (some bacon you get that white goo coming out during cooking when they've added water to it - none of that here), very tasty. For me the gold standard in Thailand was alway Sloanes back bacon as that is incredibly good. But that works out at 850 baht a kg, and this is 300-320 baht (I can't remember exactly) and I would say it is 95% as good. It is a bit thicker than Sloanes, but Sloanes you get that little fatty belly part at the end of the rasher which is so flavourful, whereas these were mostly the medallion. But excellent, definitely recommended.

The hypocrisy again! There is another thread on here about Gavin Newsom trolling Trump with his Tweets and the entire thread is right wingers getting their knickers in a twist about it.
