    Yeah fair enough. I love mine but it wasn't a saver on price as Linux laptops once were. Still a cracking laptop though.

    Unless you're totally wedded to buying from Spain have you considered a UK seller?

    Conaghan moved to Richmond, North Yorkshire, in September 2021 despite it being expected that all employees live within two hours of the office in Heathrow, the tribunal heard.

    What the fuck? How can you be so entitled to think this is ok? Maybe she flies down?

    Netanyahu has the gaul to tell Biden to his face whilst sitting in the oval office, that he's a Zionist. An Irish American Zionist. Of all the nationalities he could have called out for being a Zionist, Irish sure is a strange one.

    Now the IDF opens fire on a UN peacekeeping force where Irish peacekeepers are stationed. Dude is going to put on a Gimp suit and tickle Joe's asshole with his nose whilst wanking him off with rosery beads on live TV next, or something 🤣.

    I don’t quite understand why you are dismissing this person’s concerns like this. The codes are available for a very short period so there is a chance that if there is a WiFi or other network outage they genuinely could not get to the code.

    Because this isn't the case. They're pretending that they can only get a code when they land in the UK and there's a very real risk that they will be without internet when they've reached the immigration desk. This is BS.

    The code is valid for 30-90 days. You're telling me that within 30-90 days of travelling to the UK you can't generate a code and save it or write it down? Seriously?

    Here's some googling you might not have done (or OP for that matter).

    https://www.gov.uk/check-immigration-status

    https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/immigration/applying-to-the-eu-settlement-scheme/viewing-your-pre-settled-or-settled-status/

    https://www.york.ac.uk/students/support/international/immigration/immigration-status/

    And it's not like they are complicated codes that is difficult to write down. They look similar to this: S4WADTYWF.

    I agree that it is hard to put faith in a system like this where your immigration status relies on the availability of a network

    When faced with new facts would you change your mind? I didn't think so.

    >Sir Keir Starmer has defended accepting accommodation from Labour donor Lord Waheed Alli during the general election, saying it was important his son had a peaceful place to study. > >The prime minister told the BBC he had promised his 16-year-old son that he would be able to get to school and do his exams without being disturbed. > >He declared Lord Alli had donated several weeks' accommodation, which is recorded as being worth more than £20,000, in the register of MPs' interests. > >Sir Keir told BBC Radio 5 Live: "I had promised him faithfully that I would give him an environment in which he could calmly get on, his one chance to do his GCSEs, and therefore we relocated somewhere else - a gift which we then allocated a sum of money to." I mean.... if you've got friends in high places then why _wouldn't_ you gift £20k (pretty close to a year's salary for some) so that their son can revise? What's wrong with the library? Or their school? How many winter fuel allowances would that cover? 😂

    Sounds like a three way mexican stand off between the US, the UK, and the EU. First one to adopt the rules weakens their competitive advantage.
