Hastings may give you a black box which records your driving skill and terminates your policy if you fall below certain driving score. nothing to worry if you drive well though

Happy new year guys.

Anyone doing cryptocurrency here? I would like to know if I can log into my binance app just like that or I will need a VPN to log in.

Also, I would want to know if I still need VPN for airdrops and trading.
login no wahala. As long as its the phone you're using back home

Download the sponsorship excel from gov.uk
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/register-of-licensed-sponsors-workers

Open in Excel and Filter by name with keyword "care" "nhs" "supported living" "health" "support".

Copy what you get to notepad and start to bomb grin

Would have helped you but the plug in I used to use for filtering has been shutdown

Anybody can ask anything on here. We always answer politely.

To Poster, go to gov.uk and search health and Care Visa. Applying for visas is easy, you should be done in no time.

Lol. Two things:

1. I wasn't impolite. I responded and gave actionable advice. I even suggested keywords instead of just saying 'go to Google'.
2. If they follow my advice, they'd get where they need to be in two clicks. Yours would take three, and involve more time and uncertainty.

Your being sanctimonious to me might feel good, but it's actually not helpful if you don't prompt people to learn how to sort basic things out. Think: Will they come on Nairaland every time they want to apply for something in the UK? In asking people for such things, won't they be at risk of being given false information when they could simply do basic research and find the info they need?

Good afternoon and happy new year. Please do anyone have an idea if they still do walk-in in Nigeria high commission in London or any where in the UK. The appointment date given is 3 months from today and it's needed urgently.

I want to say thank you to that bros that encouraged ppl to apply for civil service jobs. I got AO at dwp last month. A lot of information on this thread has been so useful and wonderful. I appreciate everyone that has made this thread worthwhile.
Tech bros and Sis, pls I need your advice. What do you think about being a salesforce admin.? The goal is to go into salesforce consulting. Sometimes, it feels like most salesforce jobs are more in the US than UK and many of the vacancies in London (lol). I would really appreciate your thoughts. Thank you

I need head up on my council tax. I set a direct debit for the council and they deduct their 250 pounds monthly all through 2023 but this 2024 January they only deducted 21 pounds. Could that be an error or a bonus. Do I need to call them to ask why.

why don't you check you account. Its possible you split payment into 9 or 10 months. So starting from April 2023, you have paid the council tax for the year, so no more payment till you receive a new bill in April.

Continue to speak grammar. You go explain tire. Just go back and read your response again and put yourself in the shoe of the person that asked the question. I have realised from experience that, no question is stupid when it comes to immigration. Please let him ask and I repeat again, kindly ask any question if you are unsure. Nobody can provide fake information here and people trust the information they get here which is why they are comfortable to ask. Ask ohhh it is life and death matter
