  1. Years ago I worked with an Irish bloke who, some years before, had been caught working in Canada while over there on a visitor visa. He was taken back to the place he was staying, given ten minutes to pack his bag and driven straight to the airport and sent packing the same day. The story came out to us because while he was working with us he wanted to go back to Canada for a wedding. So he had to go up to Canada House in London for a meeting. The answer was no, they wouldn't let him back - ever.. He said that he strongly suspected that, although he hadn't tried, he would not be able to get a visa for the USA either, having been deported from Canada because they share information. To me that was the way to do it. All credit to Canada Being tough works, people respect you for it.
  2. The point is he knew what he was coming back to before he got on the plane, so sorry pal. Of course he always has the option of doing his quarantine in Wormwood Scrubbs. They can't let him win, it would set far too big a precident Rule one, only fight a battle you know you stand a chance of winning.
  3. Looks to me like an attention seeker
  4. Hotel quarantine guest goes on hunger strike and makes dash for freedom (telegraph.co.uk)
  5. So what happens if you die of covid but have been in hospital for 30 days? A number of younger people with post covid are dying unexpectedly a couple of months after being declared cured and sent home. Often from blood clots and sepsis. Is that a covid death? Chances are they wouldn't have died if they hadn't had covid. in the first place
  6. My MIL's jab was 40 miles away in Truro but thats Cornwall for you, BIL and SIL had to go to Truro as well two weeks later to queue up for standby jabs at 9pm
  7. The reason why the French are saying the Oxford jab is not suitable for the over 65s is a cover story because they haven't got any to give to them
  8. You have to make dam sure the police don't think you are surrendering them. I have heard of that before
  9. I see they caught four at Birmingham airport lying about where they had come from already Four fined £10,000 for not declaring they were in 'red-list' country | Metro News
  10. very few fines have ever been paid, its not a new thing
  11. 'Packed nightclub' in Birmingham with 150 revellers inside raided - BBC News is anybody surprised?
  12. If you are getting them to go into a feeder, whats wrong with a Fenn instead of a pot of doctored peanut butter? That solves the problem instantly
  13. Its that SNP at it again, because they have a red breast somebody thinks they must be something to do with the SLP
  14. For many years Colt lived on their name, in terms of brand identity Colt was the best known name in the business. A fact owed as much to Hollywood as to anything they did to justify their reputation. The 1911 was designed by Browning in any case, but the fact it was carried by every serviceman through two world wars, plus Korea and Vietnam gave it and the name a massive bond with American men
  15. Do not try to write your own or use some cut and paste will writing service to try and save money. Or thrown away by somebody who didn't like what it said. It does happen.
  16. Colt bought the patent for the AR15 from Armalite in about 1959 but their patent expired in 1977. Their golden era was the military contracts during the Vietnam War Since then the design has been copied by literally dozens of different companies in different versions The colt brand became retro, they started reintroducing their most famous models that had long been discontinued like the Peacemaker and the 1911. even a presentation model of the 1860 Army. A big hit to their business was when the American police went over to semi autos. Up till then the Colt Python was what every policeman saved up his pay to buy himself.
  17. I'm not sure the extent to which colt actually manufacture their own products anymore. From being an A1 brand name up to about the 1970s when most of their guns sold on the strength of the name alone they have lost a lot of ground
  18. It is not breaking lockdown if you travel because you are acting as a carer
  19. Trump was able to supress a lot of evidence regarding his dealings with Russia before his2016 election. He managed to shut down the Mueller Investigation and sacked Comey the head of the FBI when Trump found out the FBI were investigating him over the same links with Russia. That evidence hasn't gone away and Trump's power to keep it supressed has now gone American law and American politics are not about right and wrong as much as they are about money and power. The biggest dog has the biggest teeth and bites the hardest.
  20. no they generally only do it the once. Bigger question might be what else lies on the bottom nearby? Has anybody looked? Any sub hitting a ship that big would be very badly damaged, only difference might be subs have extensive damage control procedures and well trained crews. But no sub I know of is white It might have been a floating wreck, thats possible, not all ships sink straight to the bottom. Some remain half submerged for weeks, even months containers fall off container ships and float for years sometimes. The thing I am curious about is why so many diverse countries acted so quickly to shut it down
  21. I remember there was speculation at the time that it hit a sub. So why would there be a need to cover that up? If it was one of ours why would Russia agree to the cover up and vice versa? maybe it was an ET?
  22. and this is from The Scotsman so not some English newspaper they can accuse of bias Alex Salmond inquiry shows Nicola Sturgeon's government is no longer subject to democratic checks and balances – Brian Wilson | The Scotsman
  23. The two problems these days are its taxation class and getting it insured. The big question "is the vehicle modified in any way?" is the killer There are companies that will insure them but its not the mainstream companies. other than that, go and have fun.
  24. are all the holes in the paper perfectly round? thats the first thing to establish, whether they are keyholing
