Why is a new member dropping quality content rather than necroposting for a scan discount?
New member? Oh, wot, moi?
Right. Forgot. Deffo new here. Never been here before. Never heard of the joint. And if you buy that, wanna buy a watch. Rolex. Genuine. Honest.
What gave it away? Some subtle textual analysis, I'm sure.
The acount is new. Well, unused, though it's been around for some years. Member? Not so much.
I kicked off the process the day after the Brexit vote, and sat down to seriously re-evaluate it the day after the US election.Originally Posted by TeePee
I'd settle for access to food in April, which is... uncertain, in the UK.I'm glad you decided to stay, this is a land of opportunity! This is a place to raise a family, have a career and retire. I wish I could tell you that in 2020 we'll have intelligent, moderate and forward-thinking candidates and a fair election, but that might be asking too much. Like most Americans, I'm glad to welcome another immigrant!
My imagination conjured up a drunken brexit stumbling down the street, falling in hedges, and daring to his mates that he'll strip naked and climb that lamppost over there./picky mode on
Technically, touch-screen slip. Or at best, virtual-KB slip.

But I take the point.
Note to self - watch for spoiling misteaks.
EDIT - Thinking about it, I will leave it to reader's imaginations to decide exactly how it's mispelt.
Hint - One option is what I meant, the other is an approach the government hasn't tried yet ..... as far as I know. Maybe they should. It might help.
We do, but we don't like having our hands tied in stupid ways. Wattage doesn't limit how much total energy is expended, it limits *when* you expend it and builds in a model that new devices can only be a mundane evolution of old devices. That might sound like nit-picking, but these things are actually design fundamentals to us.
Slightly cheaper. If you want things much cheaper then you need disruptive tech which is where legislation can really get in the way, specially in the EU where regulation takes 5 years to happen so is always outdated at the point it gets voted in.

Long as it's just your own that you're spoiling, go ahead... free country and all that, innit!!

No, entirely manageable.

Well, I think if I was a Brexit, I'd want to be stuck deep in the nearest bottle (or better yet, 50 gallon vat) I could find too, after the way I've been handled. The way it's been stumbling around, ir's going to have a .... erm ... 'memorable' hangover when it sobers up.My imagination conjured up a drunken brexit stumbling down the street, falling in hedges, and daring to his mates that he'll strip naked and climb that lamppost over there.
But let's not go there .... until after the festive season, at lsast. Have a good Christmas, Corky, if you observe it, and if not, have a goid time anyway.

Nope. Old one is locked. I know, 'cos I locked it. It could be unlocked, I s'pose, but not by me.
Reason = old one had a heavily customised set of permissions done manually, not via user group settings, and reversing it all would be a pain.
Reason for two accounts as an admin = testing changes. I did a lot of the setup and changes in permissions, user groups, etc, and they need to be tested so I could set this account as whatever user group I was testing, sign in and see things as that user group would, not as an admin does.
Strictly, I suppose, this account has a few rights not normally available with this post count (like PMs) but I think 15 or so years as an admin and however many posts it was earns me that much. The mod team can always change that if they wish, though I doubt they will.
Just another chapter in the pressure put on my life by the politicians. Please let me explain
My wife is from Ukraine, as some of you probably know. She moved to the UK in 2012 same year we were married, in July 2012 we needed to convert the fiance visa to a spouse visa. We tried to make an appointment to get this done but they were booked up for over 5 months well after the visa would have expired, the visa was only 6 months total. So we were given a choice, to do a postal application where my wife could not have a passport and leave until complete (average time was 6 months) or re-apply as a new marriage visa.
My wife was due to be a bridesmade at her best friends wedding so relucatanly she chose to reapply as a new application for a marrage visa, but she needed to stay in Ukraine while the application was processed. On application the immigration services they told us the wonderful new rules, something they had failed to inform us of just a month before. That I needed to earn 18,600. But my wages were 18,250. Tragic but I had a pay rise on they way, I scraped through at 18,660.
So 6 months and few thousand pounds later my wife was allowed to rejoin the country. she was allowed to stay on a marriage visa as long as I earned the 18,600. In 2015 I lost my job the only other job I found in Sheffield was paid 18,000. So consequenty we got a letter telling me my wife has to leave the UK by September 5th 2015 or face deportation.
We left with a loan, we lived in a tent for 2.5 months in the Netherlands, because we could not find accomodation. With the money running out we decided to try Barcelona, I found a job. We have have been there since Nov 2015.
At present we could try to apply under the "Surinder Singh" visa (not that we want to return to the UK now anyway) But, the UK, after no deal (and non-complience with ECHR) could do what it likes and deport anyone that is not born a UK citizen so it's not worth the risk. We want to stay in Spain now, we are tired and it's taken it's toll.
So no deal could mean (If Spain decided so) that we either have to move to Ukraine or split up and me return to the UK, and she would need to return to Crimea (now Russia not Ukriane)
If the latter happens.. Farage, Banks, Murdoch, Harmsworth and all the other super rich brexiteers better invest in a bunker. And anyone that voted for brexit is off the Christams card list for good.
Ah phew. I've just heard that Putin is against the idea of a second referendum because he thinks it's in our best interests to Brexit. I'm now convinced and I'm glad he has my wellbeing at heart.
Oh b...b....beggar.
Please, Mr Putin, don't "help" Brexit any more. It's hard enough as it is.
Mr Banks and Mr Farage will be pleased! Think they might already know though...
That must surely be Putin's version of a royal 'we'
Well, this is the way I look at it - Do you want to save the nation or your own arse?
