  1. Indeed, you begin to wonder if a progressive state like California, which has a GDP in its own right similar to the UK, would wish to remain a part of the Union?
  2. That reminds of the tale of 'The Emperor's New Clothes' - the dishonest weavers offer to supply the Emperor with a magnificent set of clothes that are invisible to those who are too stupid or incompetent.
  3. I'm scratching my head trying to remember when was the last time I saw one of those used.
  4. Never heard of them. Not been through BHX since autumn 2019 due to Covid, but can't imagine much has changed. For Avis, Hertz, Europcar etc you go to the appropriate counter close by where you exit from arrivals. Do the paperwork and walk about 5 minutes from the terminal to the Hire Car Car Park, which is next to the entrance of Car Park 4. Find the hut for your hire company and get your keys. You can return to the vehicle to the same place. The issue is with Green Motion, not the airport. Seems Green Motion have their depot serving Birmingham Airport and Birmingham International on the station side. Hence the need to go from the airport to the station and shuttle to the collection point. https://greenmotion.co.uk/car-hire/united-kingdom/birmingham-international .
  5. Scoot resumed daily direct flights between Hat Yai and Singapore last month. Air Asia have restarted direct flights to Kuala Lumpur; Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
  6. Indeed, all of this crypto malarkey should be confined to the 'Crypto Malarkey Forum'. Further, all the Wise (Formerly TransferWise ????) stuff should in all honesty be swept into a 'Wise for the Unwise Forum' as it's equally tedious. .
  7. No, he only grabbed his stick and laid into grandad after being enraged that someone was filming
  8. Wise isn't registered as a bank, it's a FinCEN registered money services business. Revolut is a bank and FSCS registered.
  9. As maybe, but they hold your money in their accounts in other banks, not their bank - they're money movers not bankers.
  10. Wise isn't a bank, obviously they don't want people treating it as such.
  11. No, I'm the guy in head office.
  12. As the resource geologist I'm the one who makes the estimations, it's my numbers that are the basis for the mine reserves, I've never lied about the resource numbers ever. Investors need beware exploration projects and mines that don't have NI-43-101, JORC or similar compliant resources. .
  13. As a resource geologist I take great exception to that remark.
  14. I fail to see any 7 year cycles, multiples of 7 curiously yes.
  15. Is that actually a thing anymore? I thought tickets, airline offices and real people disappeared a long time ago. I will check with websites like Skyscanner but I will make the booking directly with the airline website.
  16. But he's not dead, indeed he's not particularly ill - vaccines aren't a guarantee against infection, no one has claimed they are, but they will most likely keep you from serious illness, and out of hospital. At 81 Faucci is very much in the 'at risk category', so the vaccines are doing their job. .
  17. Ditto
  18. So I'm not the only one! I also sort by monarch. My nephew as a 4 year old had all his toy cars arranged by size and colour. So it's clearly genetic. .
  19. At least "ships from overseas" is honest. What annoys me is the suppliers in Thailand who take your order, claims it's packed awaiting pick-up (so you can no longer cancel) and it sits like that for a week or more. Then when your item eventually arrives you can see your delivery label stuck over a previous delivery label from China. So the Thai retailer only orders from China after you've ordered from them. You pay a mark up for 'local' when it's nothing of the sort. You can weed these types out by looking at their ship on time rating.
