Anyhow, after an afternoon disputing the charges, now appears I'm getting the amount refunded in full - in up to 30 days! Who said computers would speed things along? AGODA: The reversal typically takes up to 30 business days, depending on your bank’s processing time and policy.Sat, 27 Jun 2026 02:04:26 +0000Looks like it's slowly moving that way, although I think the functions here are still maintained on the regular Barclay's Bank site, so maybe just a slimming down rather than outright removal.Sat, 27 Jun 2026 02:04:17 +0000@Chomper Higgot I see you disagree with my post.

But they like to dish it out.Sat, 27 Jun 2026 02:01:58 +0000Nope, that's just a simple lie. AI: Americans are leaving the U.S. in numbers not seen since the Great Depression, resulting in a negative net migration. Driven by high living costs, divisive politics, and safety concerns, ordinary citizens, students, and retirees are moving to more affordable and peaceful countries, including Mexico, Thailand, and nations across Europe. A sharp rise in citizens seeking new lives abroad is backed by several shifting trends: Negative Net Migration: For the first time in over 50 years, more people moved out of the U.S. than moved in. Brookings Institution data estimated a net loss of up to 295,000 voluntary emigrants. Surging Renunciations: The number of Americans renouncing their U.S. citizenship has grown significantly, jumping to around 5,000 annually. Polls and Interest: A Gallup poll found that roughly 20% of Americans—about one in five—expressed a desire to permanently move to another country.Sat, 27 Jun 2026 02:01:24 +0000But they weren't related to me, didn't add any value to my life ....... so why would I care?

The highest percentage must be here on AN: Many grumpy, lonely, poor, dissapointed left-overs 😂Sat, 27 Jun 2026 01:59:47 +0000it makes a big difference and a possible motive, LBs are renowned for not being honest with customers, some customers go mental with violence, probably homophobes but they see redSat, 27 Jun 2026 01:59:45 +0000Fishing boats from Chao Lao pier 13 June 2026 Eastern Thailand: Chachoengsao, Chanthaburi, Chonburi, Prachin Buri, Rayong, Sa Kaeo, TratSat, 27 Jun 2026 01:59:23 +0000Given the effects of AI, and robotics, I fear layoffs worldwide are going to increase dramatically.Sat, 27 Jun 2026 01:58:47 +0000ctrl H opens history in browsers. You can easily delete all history. This does not mean all visited websites are gone. In the program files or users files there will still be left overs.

Seems like nothing's changed. I'd sure like to see all these people laughing at America, and what their positions are. Barroom and armchair quarterbacks haven't amounted to much over the years. Watching a few videos from haters or biased people doesn't either. The proof is the end result. When things are proven, you can look back and say, he was a moron, and he was wrong with this or that. Every president has done some strange things, and history from the past isn't what's happening now, as the world has changed.Sat, 27 Jun 2026 01:54:08 +0000Available now.

I wouldn't be surprised; before mobile phones, girls were disappearing from bars to never be heard from again far more often.Sat, 27 Jun 2026 01:53:18 +0000Thanks for sharing your sack of off topic nonsense grievances that nobody will suffer, let alone yourself.

THere are plenty of other tasks that require sorting out, litter picking and graffiti removal for a start, All those attempting illegal immigration should be forced to do a few years of this kind of work , unpaid of course , prior to their subsequent deportation What a brilliant deterrent that would be to the foriegners taking the pi$$ out of the UKSat, 27 Jun 2026 01:51:29 +0000I wouldn't think the world is laughing at a country with the power America has shown, along with sticking up for itself first and not letting other countries take advantage of them any longer. You do realize there are millions of Trump backers no matter what he does right? The rest aren't burying their heads in the sand but waiting for a change, which will come soon enough anyway. Again, seeing you have no country you call your own, why worry what America is doing? Complaining like you do is doing what? Americans know what's going on even though you might not think so. What perfect country are you from where the politicians do everything they've promised without any mistakes?Sat, 27 Jun 2026 01:50:45 +0000Bad day for Donnie, good day for AmericaSat, 27 Jun 2026 01:49:56 +0000Get rid of 'it' says gottfey!!
