What about the other holy book? Are the no sexual explicit content there?

Possibly there are but that is beside the point.

11 If two men are fighting and the wife of one of them comes to rescue her husband from his assailant, and she reaches out and seizes him by his private parts, 12 you shall cut off her hand. Show her no pity (Deuteronomy 25:11-12)

“When she carried on her whoring so openly and flaunted her unclothedness, I turned in disgust from her, as I had turned in disgust from her sister. Yet she increased her whoring, remembering the days of her youth, when she played the LovePeddler in the land of Egypt and lusted after her lovers there, whose members were like those of donkeys, and whose issue was like that of horses. Thus you longed for the lewdness of your youth, when the Egyptians handled your bosom and pressed your young breasts.” (Ezekiel 23:18-21)

Hello my Seniors in the House .

Please I need your opinion again.

Please do you guys know of any legit/smart savings /investment plan in the UK that will yield good returns/interest.

I would prefer investment/savings whose tenure/maturity would not be more than 1 year. Then I can Renew again.

I intend to try the ground with about 1000-1500 pounds monthly .

I hear ISA is a long term investment of about 5 years+. Too long for me. (I might be wrong).




Secondly, I booked for my passport renewal last week, (Passport expires January)

I was given appointment date of September 4.... I have printed out payment and appointment slip.

But last night I got a reversal for the fee from innovate .

Please can you advise on what to do.

Thank you .

If you are open to other options (Nigeria)

You can buy the FGN Savings Bond. You can buy from most banks I believe.

====== Info =====
Interest Payment: Payable quarterly

Redemption : Bullet repayment on the maturity date

Effective yield :
2yrs - 10.706%
3yrs - 11.789%

========

This is government bond so you are guaranteed of your returns and capital at the end. Quite short. Exchange rate is good now. You can change now. Also you can be keeping your pounds for whenever the rate goes up and just throw it in.

Anything federal government bond is guaranteed. No story. Atleast from my knowledge for so many years.

Wow, thanks. But don't think this is worse than teaching kids how to pleasure themselves and how to perform such acts on each other. But agree that sometimes we are too alarmist.

for email visa schedule appointment: info.ukgr@gvc24assist.eu / london.gr@gvc24assist.eu

For visa application: https://www.gvcworld.eu/

I have come back once again to thank you for the plug.

Here's my timeline;

- Sent an email to both addresses on the 30th of May
- Got a response 3hrs later giving me an appointment for the 2nd of June. (Email was from London.gr@gvc24assist.eu) the other one is quite generic and even asked me to go through the website even though it isn't functioning properly.
- Put together an application with documents downloaded from the website within 2 days: https://uk-gr.gvcworld.eu/en/schedule-appointment
- Attended appointment on the 2nd of June. I was told I needed to pay in full for the trip and not just making a deposit payment. Completed the biometric appointment.
- Visa delivered on 16th of June.

Observation
- Appointment time given is what anyone should aim for.. i got there for 9am and appointment was 10:15. People who got there 9:30am were allowed straight in while I was made to wait for my time.
- I was told the visa would not be issued unless the payment for the holiday was made in full soonest and this was because I made a deposit payment. Email to the embassy was given to me and I was told to send it in a certain format.
- You can also apply up to 6 months ahead, they acknowledged they are very busy and encourage travellers to plan ahead.

Wishing prospective applicants the best.

Baba eeh...no date in Londonor Manchester o. Is there any hack to getting dates o... I can't go to Cardiff all the way from England 😔. Is there a time of the day that is most effective for sieving slots?

Keep trying, VFS website is total crap, even if you see dates, it takes time before you can book it. Try incognito mode.
I still saw some over the weekend. Would let you know once the appt are up again.

The whole 'but what of the Bible' is an absurd straw man argument in light of the crazy sexualisation of young children that is going on unchecked.

Firstly, religious education is not compulsory, while relationships and sex education (the science part) is compulsory and you cannot ask for your child to be spared adults talking to them about how to insert intimacy gadgets and whatnot.

There have been so many cases in recent times and each one is enough to make any reasonable person alarmed but what is even more concerning is that parents are often not even allowed to see what their children are being taught. Shebi with the Bible at least you know what Is there and can explain context or even counter certain lessons at home if you want -

See: https://www.localgovernmentlawyer.co.uk/education-law/394-education-news/54164-school-not-required-to-disclose-sex-education-information-to-parents-tribunal-rules

How do people know whether to be alarmed when they can't even see what their children are being taught? That level of state-mandated outsourcing of parental duties to random people who just happen to be employed as teachers should scare anyone. If it doesn't, then it's certainly you who are the exception.

Sex education is important as long as they deliver it responsibly in a control environment if kids are not educated they will learn it elsewhere anyway from friends and people who are not professionals.

Parents as well have major responsibilities here to help guid as they grow .

I guess so... You can only do Dropbox in the country you had previous visa issued in.
I’m sorry this is wrong info, you can do your dropbox here. My family friend got hers done here in March and it was granted, her first American visa was in given in Nigeria.

Guys ..quick one

Let's say you sustain an injury to the chest at work leading to you being admitted, can you "claim" anything?

The injury was sustained while rushing to help a patient but due to a faulty automatic door not opening, injury was sustained .

Incident has been officially reported and in the response, it was stated that the faulty door has been reported.

The one that's paining me is my shift for the day wasn't approved completely and I now have to call and call and fight for sick pay

Please help...I need advise

You don't need to travel back to Nigeria to subscribe. The June 2023 offer has closed by the way.

You can buy via your Nigerian bank or Investment House.
