It matters massively. As others have pointed out, depending on which country you're arrested in, the sentence can range from a relatively few years in jail, to the death penalty. Indonesia for instance, has a long history of executing people (of all nationalities) for drug smuggling.

The British Embassy does the same. Although I did notice that they have an online link that allows you to request such a letter which now that I think about it, is probably for those who've renewed their passport outside the country (since, as mentioned, if you do it here, you get the letter automatically).

Ever heard the phrase, "Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it"? Because what you're suggesting is exactly what Neville Chamberlain thought when he negotiated the settlement that ceded the Sudetenland to Germany in 1938. Remind us again - how did that work out for him?

130 tablets and 466 line items in 3 days? That's beyond excessive.

Except that, at least according to the link on the previous page, the Ukrainians do not have the capability to intercept this particular kind of missile. As stated in that link:

Only one type of medicine, in its original blister pack.

Hua Hin is a tourist area, I went to a private clinic here recently that has an almost exclusively farang clientele. The doctor's consulting fee was 500 Baht and the one-week course of antibiotics they prescribed was 150 Baht. So I would say no, private clinics in tourist areas are not always expensive.

There is, if the person entered on an OA that allows multiple entries during its validity and then thinks that they are getting a new OA visa (which would allow them multiple entries again) when they're actually getting an extension of permission to stay, which does not come with the multi-entry privilege. There has been more than one case where people have posted on here (some quite irate) about getting what they thought was a visa renewal, then leaving without a re-entry permit and being told on coming back that they could only get a visa exempt entry for 30 days as their permission to stay was no longer valid. This meant they had to go through the whole rigamarole of getting a new O visa in country (or going back out to get a new OA visa) - all because they had thought they were getting a visa, rather than an extension of their permit to stay.

No, it doesn't. One of its most salient features, is that it is a "tagless" system. Like the previous poster, I have already used it and there is no tag involved.

Community service? For the cold-blooded murder of a stranger by shooting them multiple times in the back with no mitigating circumstances? You don't know much about the English justice system, do you?

We don't know that. We only have the self-confessed murderer's version of events, and he has every incentive to suggest he was provoked, in an attempt to lessen his level of culpability.

He hasn't committed a crime that would come under UK jurisdiction so I don't see how there could be an extradition warrant issued.

It's only minimally less simply than you mention. It's: approach the vehicle, unlock the doors, press the start button and drive away. I'll admit that the first time I did it, I thought I could just drive off immediately but once I realized you have to press the start button first, it was an easy adjustment to make and it's now second nature. I also find the app rather handy to send a destination to the car's SatNav system before starting a journey and to lock the doors remotely if I've forgotten to do so (or to check if I have or haven't, when I'm not sure). I would say I use the app almost every time I'm about to drive the car but it's particularly useful to start the AC when it's been parked in the open for a while (which it often is when we've been out).

It's not gnarly at all. It was once, but not any more. It's given just the same as almost all vaccinations, such as a flu or Covid shot. For older children and adults, that's into the deltoid muscle of the upper arm. Very young or small children may have the vaccine injected into the upper leg (thigh) muscle.

As others have already pointed out, that's untrue. Here's the pertinent info from a medical website. "The rabies vaccine is used in two ways: 1. It is given to a person who has a higher risk of coming into contact with an infected animal, to immunize them against rabies in case they are bitten by a rabid animal. 2. The vaccine is given to a person who has been bitten by an infected animal to prevent the virus from developing into rabies. The protocol for a person exposed to the virus who has not previously been vaccinated against rabies calls for receiving 4 doses of the rabies vaccine over a 14-day period, as well as receiving 1 dose of rabies immunoglobulin to be given right after the first vaccine dose." Rabies Prevention and the Rabies Vaccine

Then I stand corrected.

OK, but the implication was that he'd bought a policy that was only valid for a trip of 30 days in total. I was just pointing out that wasn't the case.

That's not quite accurate. According to the article the overall policy was valid for a year but there was a clause that said it would only be valid for 31 days in any given country, which he apparently had not noticed.

As far as I can tell, it hasn't been sprung on anyone - yet. Based on all the reports I've seen so far, no date has been given for the introduction of these measures.

That's not strictly true though, is it? Some viruses get less virulent, some don't, as mentioned in the article below. Debunking the idea viruses always evolve to become less virulent Even with Covid itself, we have seen this. The Delta variant was more transmissible and more deadly than the original "wild-type" strain. Delta variant 133% more deadly than original COVID strain Bird flu is another example. When it first started infecting humans it was relatively mild but evolved to become more deadly as time went by, as stated in the AP News article below. Viruses can evolve to be more deadly

There's no way to know whether it will ever become reality. There's always a possibility that it will simply remain as a proposal.

Not sure how anyone can do that if, as you strongly implied, the photograph is not of the animal in question.

My answer is, "None of the above." Depending on the circumstances of the day, anywhere between 10 pm and 1 am.

There are videos of the incident. The door did not fall off.

Just to point out, not everyone agrees with you that she is mocking British royalty or its traditions in that clip. When I did a Google search, the first article I found actually starts out by saying: And then goes on to state: Meghan Markle curtsy remarks I would agree with the characterisation in the article. Has it occurred to you that maybe you're the one misinterpreting it?
