    Oh look, the biggest hater on this Forum spewing his lying propaganda again. Have you no shame?

    Indeed, the Russian state propaganda outlets, and their trolls, have no shame whatsoever in spewing lies and misinformation.

     

    As for Canada becoming the 51st state, I doubt any sane Canadian would swap their universal healthcare system for the American 'equivalent'.

  2. An awful lot can, and will, happen between now and August 15th 2029, the date at which a UK general election must be called if it hasn't already. Given the size of the Labour majority there's scant chance of an election being forced upon Labour, so they'll be able to choose their moment. In the meantime the Telegraph, Times, Mail and Express can froth at the mouth all they like.

  3. I love fireworks.

     

    We have a New Year's party and BBQ up on the roof every year. We can watch the main display in Hat Yai, without the crowds, as well as enjoy all the fireworks from around the city, and add a few of our own.

    Greenland Mineral Resources
    Greenland is rich in mineral resources. The country’s unique geology, shaped by millions of years of tectonic activity, has created a diverse array of mineral deposits. Here are some of the key mineral resources found in Greenland:

    • Rare Earth Elements (REEs): Greenland is believed to have significant deposits of REEs, including neodymium, dysprosium, and samarium. The Kvanefjeld project, operated by Energy Transition Minerals Ltd, is one of the largest known REE deposits in the world.
    • Zinc: Greenland has several zinc deposits, including the Kvanefjeld project, which also contains zinc. The country’s zinc resources are considered significant, with estimated reserves of over 1.5 million tonnes.
    • Uranium: Although uranium mining is banned in Greenland, there are still significant uranium deposits, including the Kvanefjeld project. The country’s uranium resources are estimated to be around 368 million pounds (168,000 tonnes).
    • Cobalt: Greenland has cobalt deposits, particularly in the Ilímaussaq alkaline complex, which is also rich in REEs.
    • Nickel: The country has nickel deposits, including the Sarfartoq nickel-copper deposit.
    • Iron ore: Greenland has significant iron ore deposits, including the Disko Bay iron ore project.
    • Gold: There are several gold deposits in Greenland, including the Nalunaq gold mine, which operated from 2002 to 2015.
    • Tantalum: Greenland has tantalum deposits, particularly in the Ilímaussaq alkaline complex.
    • Niobium: The country has niobium deposits, often associated with tantalum and REEs.
    • Lithium: Greenland has lithium deposits, including the Solo and Good Setting Lithium Projects in the James Bay region.

  5. I got my TIN from the Hat Yai revenue office today. They were somewhat confused when I didn't have a work permit. After some explaining and about 15 minutes of the clerk looking on the internet, I got a nod of the head and my application was processed. I submitted a completed application form, copy of passport ID page and current extension, plus a copy of the TM30. Friendly office, no queues, no English spoken.

    But the Singapore bank can be a pain in the neck. It will want utility bills (not always easy to get in Thailand). It will demand copies of your passport at regular intervals, to be certified at the Singapore embassy in Bangkok.

    Not my experience. They accepted a bank statement as proof of address, and they've never demanded a certified copy of my passport. That's with HSBC Singapore.
