Just received an email, my UK passport has been approved and sent for printing. Now just waiting to hear the delivery details. I need it with me by 3 September.

I was just going to say that i haven't read a Stephen King book since The Rats, but luckily did a bit of research and see that the author was James Herbert. So now it's more correctly "never read a Stephen King book". Billy Summer has mixed reviews, what's an SK highlight?

Thanks for sharing ☹️

Group Fitness class. 8 weeks and now one week in. Monday and Friday are weights (but not heavy), flexibility mid-week and mobility at the weekend - 4 days. Aiming to lose 4kg, but fairly hungry now...

I've been in Phnom Phen for a couple of days but didn't have enough time to find my way around the night life. Sihanoukville has potential but all the new Chinese casinos developments have resulted in reduced beer bars. For me Thailand and Philippines are easier places to get into the action if on a short trip. In answer to the OP no. But interested to hear more.

Ferrari?

I think you should also manipulate the white. But i just noticed the top picture is different from the lower 3 (which are all identical except for the colour) - is that important....? I remember an expat who bought a car while on leave, when he got back after his 6 month work cycle his wife had sold it and bought a new one because the upholstery "hadn't matched the dog"

Where's this Painter?

Yes but I can't really complain as i'm following up on a letter i received from them in 2016.

Just logged onto the Government Gateway. Seems ok so far "........ taking longer than estimated to process. We are either doing technical work for it, or are busier than usual." Estimated completion 26 Jul 2022 Being processed Work started Received on 05 Jul 2022

Thank you, that has me wondering again about Class 2. I was working in the UK and then left a few years ago to work overseas. I kept up NI payments for a while and then stopped. I wrote a letter to HMRC a couple of weeks ago and i suggested i could pay 10 years of Class 2 and if they agree how can i pay. Depending on the reply i will think what the next move is.

I think that answers my question and I need to pay Class 3. The reason i had a slight hope for Class 2 is in the table below. For tax year 2022/23 Type Weekly amount Class 2 £3.15 Class 3 £15.85

I have another 10 years of contributions to pay and have recently asked GOV.UK how many of those can be paid as a lump sum. But i'm not sure yet whether these 10 years can be paid as Class 2 or Class 3. The difference in the weekly amount is a lot.

Same with AIDS in the mid to late 80's. It's the bisexuals to worry about.

Been trying to hurry up my new passport. Twice now i've called the passport office in Durham and got through 1st time with just one ring, but after a chat haven't managed to get any real action. Still 5 weeks to go before i travel so not given up hope yet...

As far as I can see she asked a typical question and Jambo answered very eloquently. That's it ism't it. And a welcome bit of Bob Dylan.

Yes,I've worked in several countries and they might call me "whitey", "farang" "obroni coco" etc. I don't care. Nigger implications back to the days of slavery are beyond my knowledge. Also kike etc. for Jews i will leave to you to consider

Legal action waste of time, and more importantly money. You seem to be getting on with life's challenges well. Moved me closer to no meat (reduced but still likely to have beef when dining out)

Any point in writing to them? Seems to be a strong point of yours (if we set aside the "fucking robbing cunts" part (i left out the exclamation mark as that was a bit extreme) Just a "please reconsider as the refund seems low considering the duration that the policy has been in effect since Feb"

Reading on my kindle, just noticed its a TV series - more investigation needed.
