Wish you and your family well.
Staying away might not solve the problem. It may mean having to keep them away more often than not, while still continuing to pay childcare. You also do not know at what stage you were informed and if you child is already exposed to it. I will advise to just continue and if they ask you to keep your child away, in England, you are entiled to a rebate/refund for those days missed.

umarwy:
get well soon.

Out of curiousity are you guys vaxxed??

advanceDNA:
I want to ask...
Are wars not fought with money??
Are weapons not built with research and ultimately money...are we not just overhyping Russia’s arsenal..

their entire budget as a nation and defense budget does not suggest they have what it takes in firepower to take down the US, let alone the super powers of NATO (France, UK and US) combined..

marylandcakes:
You should look in the mirror and tell yourself that, you will feel much better and coming from the horses mouth , priceless. Don’t mind those other people.

ThaSlimKidd:
Good Morning All,

Without the intention of derailing the thread, I have a question about council tax especially in Scotland. Are spouse dependent also covered under student exemption? Its a bit confusing

onecoder:
The thing here is that Putin denied intentions of invading Ukraine before now.
So, I don't see any bias
Putin has invaded some countries in similar style and he needs to be stopped. You don't force countries to form alliance with you.

umarwy:
So Palestine are aggressors.

STENON:
lols... Don't be too angry with it. It has happened to me many times.

Is your wife a white lady or your baby looking white while you are dark like me? Most times the mixed Baby don't look anything like us.
My Baby is very white and takes all his resemblance from his Dad who is white with his long eye lashes and eye brows.
The only thing he took from me is adding black to ginger hair to make it Oban hair and which is cool but he is still my Boy

The laws doesn't apply to friends and family..

UN were against bush invasion of Iraq, what did they do? Where are the sanctions?

Bush swore Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction, that he is a threat to the whole world. They invaded and destroyed a country with no justified.

Whenever brown people take up arms in defence, they are labelled as terrorists. But the Ukrainians are hero's.

Last last, What do I know, all we can do is observe. As for the past few decades there have always been multiple Active wars/conflict around the world.

I don't see anything special about the Russian invasion

This matter, no be small thing. I could recall a few weeks ago before leaving, I filled up my tank and usually, I used 6k to fill up but before I look the petrol attendance has done magomago and my bill became 8k . We cheat one another in Nigeria and it's so sad what we have become as a country. Nigeria is a blessed Nation with wicked people everywhere!. It is well jare. Let me face my New place now.
My husband's car has a red faulty indicator because of this bad fuel .

It is well

I have 5 including credit cards and all are active and I will increase it with time . I will switch to any bank with better deals than my current bank and after one year I will be moving to the next best deal giver. There is no need to be loyal to any bank.

A multinational company, takes money for a service from customers, fails to deliver the service, advises the customers to apply for a refund, customers do that and for two months they haven't gotten the refund and when they send mails to the multinational company, they get no response. They don't even have to courtesy to respond to enquiries on the status of the refund.
Aggrieved customer complains online , guess what? A Nigerian comes out from God knows where and asks him to shut up. We Nigerians are weird bunch.

Kelechi009:
Sorry, please what is progression criteria?

My brother got an admission for a particular course in school & after 2 weeks in the classes he opted to study another related course in Sciences because CS Studies was t difficult for him.From MSc Computer Science to Data Science in the same university.

So why is it not possible to change courses?

TheGuyFromHR:
Well, all that's theoretical.
Firstly, the EU won't take Scotland or Wales even if they do vote for independence, Spain won't allow them to do so because that will only encourage Catalonia.

Secondly, the level of social welfare that is currently obtainable in the UK cannot be funded by taxation of 5 or 3 million people alone. Tax levels will have to be punitive, and it will be difficult to find people willing to vote for their own impoverishment, temporary or not, out of an idealised attachment to some nationalist ideal. Support for independence mainly ran in the areas with lower income in Scotland such as Dundee and Glasgow, where deindustrialisation hit hard. Edinburgh, Aberdeen, the islands, etc., all voted to remain in the UK. They know where their interests lie.

[b]These days people are less committed than before. Put simply, nobody is dedicated enough to suffer for years in the pursuit of so-called nationhood. In the 60s and 70s when poverty was common and hardship was not an unusual part of life in the UK, when central heating na new thing and many people were still burning wood to heat their homes and using outdoor toilets) they could have accepted that. Definitely not now [\b] .

deept:
How? They become a small fish in a big pond filled with sharks. They are starting from a place of big disadvantage. If this was in the 60s or 70s maybe but now I don't think it will be easy.

deept:
Why should they separate based on this your big brother analogy. They enjoyed the status and privileges when it was all good now they should bale when you think it doesn't pay anymore.

@chreze - You are fatigued , take a holiday...... In no time, you would look back, and wonder how the past 20 years

TheGuyFromHR:
Scotland, Wales and NI would shrivel and die without English money and they know it.
What Nicola and her friend in Wales do is bait and switch - they hala Boris and England and talk upandan about independence, so that the money keeps flowing.
Unfortunately for Scotland, it is depopulating and dying quickly. The extra tax Scottish residents pay to fund the more generous healthcare and education arrangements is not sustainable without English subventions and they know it. Take the recent rubbish the SNP said about rUK (i.e. England) paying pensions for Scotland after any potential separation, which is blatant nonsense. If Scotland secedes successfully, it's share of the UK's debt alone will drive it to bankruptcy and default fast.

This is not to say I've anything against Scotland - it was the first place I ever lived in the UK and I love Aberdeen, Inverness and those empty corners of northern Scotland - the scenery is wonderful and I plan to move back to Scotland when my children are heading towards university age to pay their tax and avail of settled free university status and all the old-age perks where possible, but I'm not blind to Scotland's issues.

Wales is even more of a basket case than Scotland - population 3 million-ish and falling, and it cant even afford Scotland's people-encouraging measures, doesn't have its tax-raising powers and is fully dependent on England.

JustAPasserBy:
That is what daily doses of Nicola Sturgeon and Ian Blackford brainwashing pills does to new arrivals in Scotland. Somehow, they pretend that all their problems will disappear were they to secede from the Union.

Let me ask; If Scotland secedes from the Union to join the EU (as they rant about daily), what currency will Scotland use? Euros, yes? Have you considered that the ‘National debt’ will be shared too and Scotland will pay too? Can Scotland comfortably afford it?

You talk about the UK playing big Aunty/uncle . Do you know the stick received by the current government when they cut down a little on the foreign aid budget? You probably need to explore the views of the SNP to have an idea… they think the UK is not doing enough big uncle.

Viruses:
Use your head o, forget say we are beginning to interact like family here. You should only pay to landlord or legitimate agent (exception is when someone is subletting without the landlord's approval).

I would think that the idea would be presented and then further conversation can happen offline if you are interested.

Preshyi:
Hello all,
I am trying to pay the balance of my fees. A banker suggested I send the pounds back to Nigeria and pay with the bank rate. I am still trying to understand that logic and how it will help me save money. Any thoughts please?

Viruses:
It's the cold o.
I'm not so bothered about the bill because it will be seasonal (4 months in a year) and I like this apartment.

This your bill, is it fixed as in regardless of what you consume?

It's my first winter here and I'm already scared of the next.
