What happened to your toilet?

Nothing... Don't you miss how when you pee, the breeze that rushes you on your pee pee?

Hello house. Does a 1 year TOPUP undergraduate course in the uk attract a 2 year post study work permit? And also afterwards if I apply for masters program I’m I eligible for another 2 year post study work permit ?

Na the licence be issue ooo. I have international license but I'm expecting my provisional license soon.
And I want a Car before winter, that's the reason why I'm confused now. I can't get the full license before winter


No point to be worried....... Just do things right/legal and as we say '' insurance cova u''....... cheesy

- Get your full licence (not provisional), to drive independently
- Be truthful to your insurance company
- Drive within legal limits
- Avoid illegal parking
- Ensure your vehicle got a valid MOT certificate + road fund licence is paid
- Pay congestion charge/Ulez (where applicable)......etc

And you shall be alright......... wink[/quote]

NO... Sorry but i despise the habit of people urinating in the public, i inderstand that there are no public toilets in Nigeria but there is no excuse here in the UK. its a very bad habit.

This is strange and weird. Haven't heard of this before. Why will a grown man with access to toilet choose to wee in public instead?

Same reason a grown man with access to cutlery will choose to eat with his fingers. Human beings are a product of their upbringing/environment and old habits die hard. The poor man was just missing his old life, how should that be anyone’s headache. No crime has been committed here!

Dear friends on this thread,

Re: TV Licence Fees

I am writing this to you because of my firm believe that this thread is meant to promote the right thing. I am writing this because I believe that dodging TV Licence fees is illegal (at least within the ambit of the law as IG currently is).

My advice:
If you do not require the TV licence, it’s fine. All you need to do is:
Visit the licensing website:
https://www.tvlicensing.co.uk/check-if-you-need-one/topics/cancellations-and-refunds-top7

In less than 2 minutes, fill the form.
They will send you an exemption.

Afterwards, you don’t have to be glancing over your shoulders and frigging, cowering in fear anytime there is a knock on the door.

Yours sincerely,
RalphJean
(who applied for, and got an exemption hence I do not watch, I do not pay and do not need to sound reminders to my children to shut the door to Law Enforcement Officers).

Ok

Please read my comment again. I am only trying to understand how peeing in the open is a thing. It might be a fetish or gives him orgasm or maybe it is a ritual. I don't know.
Eating with your (washed)fingers is not the same as peeing in the open. Else it's the same as defecating in the open too, going by your statement.

It’s a thing for some. It’s okay to have a different lived experience. The same way you think peeing in the open is not a thing is the same way others would see eating with fingers as barbaric. It’s all about life experiences - and they vary. I was only saying you all should cut the poor man some slack. Peeing in the open was commonplace growing up in Nigeria - maybe not all parts, but it’s not unheard of like your reactions to his post suggested. Besides, he only misses his old life, which is acceptable. He however should not attempt it in this day, age, and environment.

I think you are the one that missed the point. I was only trying to understand why he misses that part of his lifestyle in Nigeria. Usually when someone urinates outside, it's perhaps because there is no toilet nearby( or at least that's what I thought) I would never have guessed that people do it for other reasons. No vex abeg. We learn everyday, I have learnt something to, albeit weird. lipsrsealed

False equivalence.

Eating with your hands affects no one. It’s your personal business and shouldn’t be anybody’s headache. Peeing in public on the other hand affects others in several ways, and it causes actual consequences to the public and the environment.

Tier 2 visa will show your allowed work hours on the employment letter or COS. You also have option to work 20 hours (confirm this) outside your employer, or unlimited extra hours if the extra job is with your employer. That's my understanding of tier 2
