Re: Solar eclipse 2024

Sky News (as viewed in UK) has dedicated the next few hours to the eclipse, a complete mix of stuff, it's a fun watch so far.

Re: Voting rights in UK after 15 years

I've just splashed out by ordering online some black ink (shudder) refills for both my fountain and roller pens.

Re: UK State Pension Statement

As far as I've found, that level of info is not generally directly available from DWP. It is however sometimes possible to obtain, but it takes some grovelling.

Re: Voting rights in UK after 15 years

This one appears decidedly odd to me; I have had a 'digitised' signature (albeit one made in blue ink) that I've been using for 20+ years, accepted by just about everyone, y inclus both Swiss and...

Re: Voting rights in UK after 15 years

My take on this would be that now you've been accepted as an eligible legitimate voter by your ex-local authority, phase 1 is thumbs-up.

Now for moving to phase 2 we are invited to return to that...

Re: Hybrid/electric vehicles in the EU.

I'm wondering if there is actually sufficient infrastructure in place capable of supporting this kind of initiative.

Infrastructure is still 'not that good' where I am.

But then mine's a hybrid...

Re: Can Spain convince Brussels

With respect, you reference the old motto; by the early '90s (in Haute-Savoie at least) the motto had morphed into Liberté, égalité, choucroute ;)

Re: Voting rights in UK after 15 years

Go through the Electoral website stuff, if you 'pass' verification it will hand you off to your local constituency website, they will subsequently get in touch.

Knowing that the change was coming,...

I don't understand this one either. I don't receive a winter fuel allowance, I've never applied for one, but does this mean that I could be eligible for one :confused:

Re: Christmas Bonus?????

I shouldn't take everything you read on a gov.uk website at face value ...

My €11.53 bonus came into my Belgian bank account on Friday. I haven't set foot in the UK for more than six years.

Re: Cricket World Cup

I sort-of see what you mean.

It's likely to happen though, and it's likely that I'll be eating hat later this evening.

Re: Cricket World Cup

Kohli makes his 50, AUS look to have a handle on the run rate, 260-270 innings total coming for IND?

Edit:
Ahah! Cummings takes Kohli at 54, that's a very valuable wicket.

AUS can do this...

AUS were off to a great start, SA 44/4 off 14 overs, run rate of 3.14 and now rain has interrupted play :(

Re: Cricket World Cup

Not watching, just playing catch-up, IND are going well in the first semi-final against NZ, the run rate is looking likely to give a 370+ innings total.

Kiwis badly need some wickets now.

Re: Cricket World Cup

I take your point, SA do seem to be AUS's bogey team of late, but I think they've improved a bit since.

Not counting the NL match in that though, even my cats could beat NL.

Re: Cricket World Cup

Didn't get to see it, but was tracking the match. Given the slow start, I had half a mind that England were "messing" with the Kiwis ... all good in the end though.

IND vs AUS final?

Re: Cricket World Cup

Will be very interesting to see how SA respond to IND's 326.

IND's run rate dipped a bit, then Virat Kohli got his century - on his birthday.
