Re: Car Insurance in UK

Yeah, guessing you're probably already on your trip, but standard UK car insurance policies all require you to be a full-time UK resident and you may have to prove this in the event of a claim.

Re: Iran - You leaving or staying?

All the "this happens every few years" comments seem to be ignoring the fact that this time, the White House is occupied by a lunatic in clear mental decline who has no functioning national security...

Re: Anyone Taken their TV back to the UK?

But of course there's a plug-in solution - any DTT, DSAT or DCAB box will plug directly into it via HDMI.

I do actually point this out in my post :)

I knew that my TV didn't have a digital...

Re: Anyone Taken their TV back to the UK?

We brought our TV back to the UK with us in 2015 - why replace it when it was working fine and was effectively "free" to ship in the container with all our other belongings?

It was properly packed...

Re: Who's the next PM

[/left]Indeed. Which is why, of course, even Farage said in May 2016 that the result needed to be a two-thirds majority either way to be definitive. He said that a 52-48 win for Remain would be...

Re: Who's the next PM

Let's get the terms of reference right.

If you define "the country" as "the total population", 25% voted to leave the EU.
If you define "the country" as "the electorate", 37% voted to leave the...

Re: The EU after Brexit

Which was so vague as to be meaningless anti-EU boilerplate.


So you'll just allude to deeper knowledge that you refuse to explain with reference to specifics. Again, standard playbook for a...

Re: The EU after Brexit

Not sure what that's supposed to mean, but it's just a fact that there *isn't* a massive groundswell of popular opinion within the EU about leaving it, no matter what the pro-Brexit nutjobs in the UK...

Re: The EU after Brexit

So what *are* you talking about?

I realise that the whole "short, uninformative, cagey responses" schtick is a bit of a thing among a certain pro-Brexit contingent, but it would be helpful to know...

Re: The EU after Brexit

So yes, you're referring to the EU's policy on refugees, as that's the only aspect of migration from outwith the member states which isn't entirely under the control of each state's individual...

Re: The EU after Brexit

So presumably you're referring to the EU's policy on refugees? Since obviously, all EU member states have 100% control over their own immigration policy for migration from non-EU countries.

How do you square the idea of "unchecked migration" with Article 7 of the CRD?

Re: The EU after Brexit

I work in an office full of nationals of EU member states, and they all say the same thing - Brexit is only a front-page obsession in the UK. In continental Europe, nobody cares; the UK's decided to...

I follow a particular Dubai media "name" on Twitter, and he's constantly hammering away with plugs for his quiz night. Obviously he's fully entitled to do that, but the sheer extent of the promotion...
