Edited - reply based on a misunderstanding.

I know this is similar to an earlier question about the sponsor's immigration status but I think this is sufficiently different as to merit a separate post. My wife and I plan on travelling to the UK this summer. As on all our previous visits (approx. 30 of them) we will be staying at my parents' house. For the first time ever, after finishing her application, on the list of documentation that my wife is required to provide is "evidence of their [i.e. the person you are staying with] permission to be in the UK." My parents (both born in the UK) are in their 90's and haven't travelled outside the UK in over 20 years so they don't have valid passports. Does anyone know if a copy of an expired passport would be acceptable (logically it should, since they haven't stopped being eligible to be in the UK just because their passports expired, but I've a feeling it mightn't) or would it have to be a birth certificate? For instance, is their any other "evidence" anyone can think of?

Even if she had lights on her bike, they would be directed to the front and the rear. Since she was hit side-on they probably wouldn't have helped. As for proof the car was speeding, perhaps we should just take the driver's word for that. He said he was driving "at a high speed [and] couldn’t brake in time."

Sorry, but I'm calling bs on that one. A 27 year old man being the "lover" of a 15 year old girl would be committing multiple counts of statutory rape and there's absolutely no way that any UK social services organisation would actively facilitate the serial rape of a 15 year old. Because if they did, they would be in serious, serious trouble.

Care to translate that into words that make sense?

And don't you let any mealy-mouthed right wing conspiracy theorist tell you that anything you are saying there is the true state of affairs. Here's what the independent fact-checking website factcheck.org says about this claim. As usual, one of the right-wing pundits most vociferously promoting this conspiracy theory is Tucker Carlson. The following article on Yahoo! Finance explains: Why Tucker Carlson is wrong about the World Health Organization and its pandemic treaty As it points out:

OK, but since there's no requirement to have proof of a fourth shot for any kind of international travel (or even a third shot for that matter), in the end it's not really a major problem, is it?

Maybe I'm just lucky, but for me the International Certificate was automatically updated. It shows both my original two doses, plus the third booster shot. I'm not sure how long after I got the booster shot, it was updated but it's definitely there now - I just checked. I never did anything to add any of the shots, including the booster.

They can be almost anywhere on the body.

No, it doesn't. It says that approx 3,500 out of every 100,000 hybrid vehicles, 1,500 out of every 100,000 ICE vehicles and 25 out of every 100,000 Electric vehicles ends up in a fire during their lifetime. You can't add up the numbers of fires per 100K of each type and then say that applies to 100K of all different vehicle types together - that's not a valid presentation of the numbers.

That's a rather misleading headline. No WHO official is quoted as saying that the virus is spreading through sex. They say that: Which is not the same thing. This disease is not known to be sexually transmitted and according to at least one other report I've seen: Suspected monkeypox cases seen in Montreal

What evidence do you have for such a claim? Nobody knows how this latest outbreak in Western countries started. The 2003 outbreak in the US for instance, came from rodents imported from Ghana to the US and then spread further, via pet prairie dogs that got infected, to their owners. How Did the U.S. Handle the 2003 Monkeypox Outbreak? For all we know this could have started in a similar manner.

The vast majority of monkeypox cases are not sexually transmitted and it's only this (so far) very small outbreak of only around 100 cases that seems to involve mostly gay or bisexual men. This is almost certainly due to the "founder effect" whereby the small current outbreak seems to have started at a couple of "super spreader" events in Spain and Belgium involving MSM (men who have sex with men). In areas of Africa where it's endemic and there are thousands of cases per year (largely ignored by the Western media) it spreads from person to person via close, non-sexual contact so sexual orientation plays little or no part in it.

That's not quite right. Monkeypox has been known about (and studied) since 1958 so the medical community and scientists do know quite a lot about it, actually. Also, while the virus can be found in large respiratory droplets, they can only travel a few feet - they don't become aerosolised and "hang" in the air for hours like SARS-CoV-2 does. Monkeypox is mainly spread through prolonged close contact. So all in all, the spread should be slower than for a truly airborne virus, contact tracing should be easier, and social distancing should be more effective.

Every jab I've had, the organisation giving the shot updated the information and it showed up in Mor Prom automatically, within a couple of hours. So check back with the place where you got the jab and they should be able to update it for you. You don't say where you're located but if you're in Bangkok you can get the International Vaccine "Yellow Book" from the places shown below. As it says, you can get the book with only two doses, so I'm not sure you have to get your booster added if all you want is the yellow book. Outside Bangkok I understand you can get them from any Government Hospital by producing the same documents.

Flu jabs.

It's not just that though, the main difference is that it's not a respiratory disease like Covid and while the monkeypox virus can be found in respiratory droplets doesn't spread readily via airborne routes. It spreads mainly by close personal contact, such as via lesions, bodily fluids and contaminated materials such as bedding. Overall, it's much less transmissible than Covid.

He's already admitted to multiple previous similar attacks.

Unlikely to have been a robbery as her phone wasn't taken and the reports say there was no evidence of a sexual assault.

Actually only 43 minutes extra, and don't forget that Google Maps estimates are based on driving the entire route without a single stop. Even in an ICE car you'd be hard pressed to do it without something like an additional 3/4 hour (or more) for refueling, food, bathroom breaks etc.

Killer T cells are certainly important in killing off infected cells (and cancer cells) but if you're talking about long-lasting immunity we shouldn't overlook the role of memory T cells and B cells that are also crucial to long-lasting immunity. Not just antibodies: B cells and T cells mediate immunity to COVID-19 As this article states:

The 35 year-old Thai who has confessed to this attack and several other violent attacks has said the motive for carrying them out was to "relieve stress."

You need to check out the other thread on this. They already arrested the guy driving the pickup shown in the video earlier in this thread and he confessed to attacking not only her but also multiple other people, "to relieve stress."

She suffered a head injury, which going by the photos of her in hospital that have been published, looks like it could have been quite severe. She may well have sustained a concussion. Concussions very frequently cause memory loss. I have suffered two in my life and to this day I can't remember anything that happened in the ten minutes or so before each of them occurred. In fact, in the immediate aftermath of both, and for a day or so afterwards, I had a memory hole covering around about 12 hours. I eventually recovered my memory of everything up to that last ten to fifteen minutes. But those portions of my recollection have never returned.

There are pictures in the original article, which is linked to in the OP. Here's one of the pictures.
