What is the easiest / quickest way to get a visa for my wife to visit the UK
15 working days is the standard quote from VfS. All mine have been within this timescale. Most within 10 days a couple within a week. -

What is the easiest / quickest way to get a visa for my wife to visit the UK
Apologies if I missed something.......you married in the UK so this is presumably not her first UK visa application.. Did she previously apply for a fiancee visa? I have also always bought flights before applying - but have never submitted the details with the application as an Entry Clearance Officer (ECO) will simply disregard them as pointed out by @oldgit If your wife has sufficient funds to cover all costs of a 2 week holiday you can say that you are staying in various hotels and family members. If you are staying with parents you may be wise to get a letter of invitation. Previous applicants have supplied details of the house to show there is adequate accommodation. @sandyf mentioned you writing a letter outlining details of the relationship and reasons or your visit etc. and that is good advice. However, let's be clear - this is your wife's application and (apart from being her husband) you have nothing t do with it; you don't even need to be 'sponsor' if she is evidencing sufficient funds in the bank. Without having all the information, it seems that you making this brief visit for family reasons ie it is probably not a holiday at this short notice and only 2week duration. There are 3 key areas than ECO needs to satisfy themselves on:- Genuineness of Relationship and genuine reason to visit. Financial adequacy.... She/you must evidence adequate money for the duration of stay. Unfortunately, unlike Schengen visas, UKVI do not give any guidance on this (Spain suggests a minimum of EUR 100/120 per day.). Reasons to Return to Thailand. The big one. The risk of flight for (younger) Thais is deemed to high by many countries - Australia are particularly hard on this but you seem to have enough in your story (and a marriage certificate) to counter this. Copies of chanotes, or any other document must be translated into English and certified. Your financial story is interesting and probably incomplete. You have no income but a bit of capital; you have no pension which suggests that you are younger and possibly returning at some point to work. If you are going to make reference to your financial situation in your introduction letter make sure it stands up to scrutiny -otherwise leave it out (and any other reference to you) and just provide the letter, relying on your wife's financial evidence. In simplistic terms you re a married couple who are building a house in Thailand (which will become your permanent home) and you are making a brief UK visit to see family. After the 2 weeks you will return to Thailand to continue building your house. You can evidence enough money to cover the visit and you have the backup of parental accommodation. -

International Victory Day by WW2 Allies Over The Defeat Axis Powers in Europe
I am being an ass? Maybe. But you, a citizen of the most bloodthirsty country on the planet within the last 80 years, with dozens of conflicts and wars in this time, should at least be precise -- so what are you? I think we should also reflect on this day, how far the actions of the USA are from the spirit of this special occasion. Im am literally sick hearing holier-than-you Americans preach to us about the horros of war and collateral civilian deaths, while at the same time bombing and incarcerating people as their daily mood dictates. I believe, if Germans should hang their head in shame about historical things, you Americans are standing right beside us on this pillory of shame -- but you seem to not even be aware of it. -

Skype to be shutdown in May
No, they clearly don't care about the Skype brand, it's Teams now and that's the end of it. It's all about video chat, I never use that so it's useless to me - but there's many tens of millions of people who do use it. They had two services offering a similar service and went with Teams as the newer iteration. There will be no regret, it's a tiny fraction of a percentage on their balance sheet and nobody will miss it at all, nobody at Microsoft anyway. Also this will create a lot of demand in the VOIP/SIP phone service industry - a completely out of the blue bonus for that bunch of mostly charlatans and MLM type resellers. -
