Applying for Child first UK passport from Thailand, do they keep the original docs?
Ref wife's visa, you are aware of the UK's draconian financial requirements for a foreign wife and child? Income Support rules say £8500 p/a is adequate for a husband to live on with a wife UNLESS she is foreign because foreign wives are, apparently, far more expensive to keep. The child goes free but seeing what finances are needed for a foreign spouse that is hardly magnanimous of them. This is the list of onerous and shameful rules our wonderful Labour Government have now amended. Those who pray Keir Starmer et al fall under a bus are on the right track - please pray harder! Below from Google:- To bring a foreign spouse to the UK, the UK-based sponsor generally needs to demonstrate an annual income of at least £29,000. This is known as the minimum income requirement and applies to those applying for a family visa as a partner or spouse on or after April 11, 2024. The financial requirement can also be met through a combination of income and savings, or through other permitted sources like pensions. Here's a more detailed breakdown: Minimum Income Requirement: £29,000 per year: This is the standard minimum income requirement for most first-time applicants applying for a family visa as a partner or spouse on or after April 11, 2024. Different rules for those applying before April 11, 2024: If the application was submitted before this date, the minimum income requirement might be different, potentially £18,600. No separate child element for new applicants: For those applying on or after April 11, 2024, the minimum income requirement does not increase if there are dependent children included in the application. Potential increases to the minimum income threshold: The government has indicated potential future increases to the minimum income requirement, possibly to £34,500 and then to £38,700. Meeting the Financial Requirement: Income from employment or self-employment: The sponsor's gross annual income from UK employment or self-employment can be used to meet the requirement. Pension income: Pension income can also be included. Cash savings: Savings above £16,000 can be combined with income to meet the requirement. Other permitted sources: Income from other sources like dividends or rental income may also be considered. Combining income and savings: It's possible to combine cash savings with income from employment, pensions, or other sources to meet the financial requirement. Evidence of savings: Savings must be held for a continuous six-month period before the application date and must continue to be held at the time of application. Other considerations: Healthcare surcharge: You will likely need to pay the healthcare surcharge as part of the visa application. Specific rules and conditions: There are specific rules and conditions that apply to the financial requirement, and it's crucial to review these carefully to ensure you meet the requirements. So if you are on a State Pension as I was, on retirement in order to stay married you get to leave the UK or see your wife deported. Good game good game! -

Life Coaches and Other Professional Time Wasters ~ Who’s Buyin’ This Minging Rubbish?
You’re only a life coach if someone gives you even a five dollar bill for your life coaching. I went out with a life coach from Hong Kong twice. She kept dodging the five dollar bill issue whenever I brought it up. She had no clients she never had any clients. What she had was money from her divorce to live on and a dream that you would be mentoring millionaires to have more confidence in themselves. like every life, coach, spiritual advisor, and would be yoga teacher, she said she had formally worked in tech, but when pressed, admitted that she had worked in human resources. Every last woman in human resources, dreams of being some kind of high paid consultant where they can put their very valuable BA in psychology to overpaid use. Human resources is an overwhelmingly female field, and yet women are desperate to run away from working for other women, in every single instance where this dynamic of women running the show happens. -

Thai Bread
The long use by shelf life listed on some of the Maison Jean Philippe breads made me wonder if preservatives and dough conditioners are part of their mix. They have turned into a pretty commercial bakery and are available at all the supermarkets. I would be happy to be told I am wrong...
