I'm not that widely travelled but according to the map I think there's an island the size of Britain just appeared off India's coast.
Maybe us muggles just don't get to see this special map!
Could it be a group of islands, purpose of that map is no doubt for US political consumption so 'bigging up' the 'threat' to Israel is no doubt deriggeur (annoying spell check doesn't know 'French'
) I think....0 -

Then they'd end up investigating corrupt GPs for doing fake checks in the way they investigate people who do fake marriages.
Misskool shouldn't answer all their million and one questions, though. She should show them her proof of ILR and remind them that it qualifies her.Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area.

Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.

They're pretty much all the books I own. I've a soft spot for pelican blue spines. Can't pass a second hand bookshop without checking their shelves. Unfortunately I lost a chunk of them during a house move.vivatifosi wrote: »Please tell me they'll lead to the end of mass market paperbacks. I hate them. They fall apart so quickly.
Mind you science moves on and one of the books still reckons we've got 48 chromosomes before the figure was "revised downward" in the 50s.:DThere is no honour to be had in not knowing a thing that can be known - Danny Baker0 -

Almost all are, once you get to know them.
The big bad bogey is an invention of the populist press, as a rule.“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.

I can remember when immigration wasn't regarded as a problem but the "brain drain" was. Everybody was disappearing to the US (or more rarely Canada) where the economy was absolutely booming.lostinrates wrote: »Misskool is as 'British' as many born here.

Can't say I agree with you. Which doesn't mean that misscool isn't a valued member of the community, or that I don't want her to have free healthcare, or that I want her to leave.
But, she's lived here much longer than required to apply for British citizenship. It is her choice not to take it up; she is not british, and is presumably happy to be a citizen of her native land.“The ideas of debtor and creditor as to what constitutes a good time never coincide.”

Wasn't 't suggesting British is 'better' . Just that she sounds British, she writes british( or rather better than).
I actively chose to be British but actually feel now it was not the wisest decision I have ever made. I should have gone dual.0 -
