  1. Why? The subject is education in Thailand.
  2. Benefits? In Thailand? That's news to me.
  3. As I've explained already. That link links to a paragraph that has been proved to be worded incorrectly many times. Just complete your daughter's application. Go to VFS with the documents. Then wait and go and pick up the passport. Just like I and many others have done.
  4. You are funny. You'd rather trust a source about wine regions rather than that from historians. 555
  5. 555. No. You've got it back to front. I search more than one source that came up with the Arabic connection.
  6. A quick Google search.... "The name "Jumilla" likely originates from the Arabic word "Šumāla", meaning "north", referring to the town's position relative to other Moorish settlements in the region. Over time, the name evolved through "Xumilla" to its current form, Jumilla. Some sources suggest an alternative origin in the Arabic "Šumiyya," meaning "high place," or "Sumailla," reflecting the town's elevated location. Here's a more detailed breakdown: Arabic Origin: The most widely accepted theory points to an Arabic root. The word "Šumāla" (شمالة) meaning "north" in Arabic is thought to be the origin of the name. Evolution of the Name: The name likely shifted from its Arabic form through stages like "Xumilla" before becoming the Jumilla we know today. Alternative Theory: Some sources propose that "Šumiyya" (meaning "high place") or "Sumailla" could also be related to the name, referencing the town's position on a plateau or elevated area. Historical Context: The name's Arabic origins are linked to the period of Moorish rule in the region, which significantly shaped the region's history and culture."
  7. You are being deliberately obtuse with your selective reading and cropping of comments.
  8. You are missing the point, I think deliberately. I've already said, they work to pay their accommodation. Right now, that is free. By working, they help with the jobs that would otherwise not get done or would need to pay extra to get done. No beaurocracy needed. They work with existing teams. Brain and gear come to mind when reading your comments.
  9. You didn't read my post through, did you? They work to pay for the accommodation they receive. Right now, they get it free, paid for by the tax payer. If they work they give something back, you (not) genius. I've seen many asylum seekers speaking English. That's one of the reasons they come here. The English speaking countries have forced English language upon the world, now asylum seekers are putting that skill to good use.
  10. It's easy to just buy the cheapest beans and create your own taste. I can't remember the last time I ate baked beans just as they are when the come out of the can. I always add bits, according to what I'm eating with. Black pepper, my own BBQ mix, cider vinegar, liquid smoke, paprika, garlic salts, balsamic, chili, salt, etc.
  11. The employee in the article is not a transvestite.
  12. No, they haven't. Yes, she is. If the father is a natural born UK citizen, nationality is passed down. The OP's circumstances and dates are the same as ours. Passport application was a breeze. The part about "must have been married" is badly worded and actually means "must be married at point if passport application." The wording was the same then as it is now. Our daughter was born 2002. We married 2006. We didn't even register our daughter at the British Embassy when she was born, even though the authorities say you must. I know many expats who have got passport for their kids under the same circumstances.
  13. In that case, why are you doing things that are not required? The rules haven't changed in over 20 years.
  14. It's not what I say. It's general knowledge. Your ignorance to the matter makes your comments inane.
  15. Incorrect. As previously pointed out by another poster. Apply for the passport. Submit documents to VFS. Collect passport when it's ready. Do, did, done. Finished. Sorted. No need to do anything else. I'm speaking from experience.
