Below is my experience at Qatar airport that may not be seen as a risk but may get you into a watch list. Also, you really do not want to experience it for your own sanity.
.
Please were you asked for a -ve covid test result by the airline? I'm asking because of the change in the rule that the UK gov announced earlier announced.
Thank you.

For me, I don't think there is any illness that is beyond these guys, so don't bother yourself too much with over preparation.

Medicines should be in your check-in bag except those that are needed urgently.

Below is my experience at Qatar airport that may not be seen as a risk but may get you into a watch list. Also, you really do not want to experience it for your own sanity.

Before traveling, we got several advises to go with malaria drugs; that there is no malaria drug in UK and that if the small malaria parasite in our body manifest, no treatment, we will be isolated, so wifey got some sachet of coartem and paracetamol and put them in her handbag.

On getting to immigration at Qatar, I was holding her handbag because she was carrying baby, seeing that she was with a baby, she was allowed to pass without hindrance but I and her bag with me with my own bag was scanned. While her bag with me was being scanned, the scanner sounded an alarm indicating the presence of illicit drugs, see the way these guys focus attention on me, I con be like celebrity. See the way they were making calls, took my passport and ticket, made several documentation, instead of me to be scared or worried, I was like shey na on top Coartem them dey form activity like this?

Then a female officer asked me if I was with any drug, I said no, they cleaned the scanning instrument and scanned everything again but there was no second alarm, so they began to make calls again and I overheard them saying things like "false positive, negative ..." and then they asked me to pack my things and go. My wife was already worried because she was observing from a distance. They still took some of my data and made certain documentations though.

So if you have gotten such advice and plan to go with any drug for any reason, think about it well. For me, I don't think there is any illness that is beyond these guys, so don't bother yourself too much with over preparation.
Lol with your advice on not carrying a malaria drug.
Trust me you don't want to end up in A&E thinking you have malaria. Before covid wahala, you will be delayed for hours and the kind tests they will run on you ehn, you will hate yourself.

Malaria is a tropical sickness here and they need specialist to take care of you. If you really like yourself and don't want the drama that comes with having malaria here bring some with you.

Having malaria drugs on you isn't a crime!

Any recommendations for an ISA?

Another question, can these ISAs be likened to our mutual funds back home? If not what is the difference and what is the equivalent of our mutual funds here?

Hello everyone,

Please are there particular things to look out for while reviewing a tenancy agreement as well as things the landlord is required to do by law?

Thank you.

I'm referring to the scrapping of pcr testing for travellers. Its just the conflicting reports I'm getting from travellers who have flown Qatar Airways. Someone said she wasn't asked yesterday and the customer care I spoke with today also said they follow the rules of the country of your final destination.

Where exactly is your school located? If you are in Wolverhampton, you may want to have a walk around wheatmoreans. Dunkley Street, Sherwood Street etc. This area has student accommodation and you will see phone numbers and rooms advertised on the house windows.

You may also want to check African shops around you. They would normally know of any available rooms.

Goodluck.

Not really apart from your basics - utilities, furnishing, damages etc.
Depends on you and the kind of accommodation. As long as you go through the agreement in detail and are comfortable with the Ts and Cs, you're good.
