Re: E-books and e-book readers

I'd like to read After Hastings , an alternate history novel by Steven H Silver (Harold wins the Battle of Hastings), but I can't find it on Z library, Anna's archive or Pirate Bay. It's available on Amazon for over £30, but I don't want to read it that much... :shock: Can any of you Internet whizz...

Re: Chiang Mai Listed Where Couple Can Retire for US$1,500/month

........The LHG has got to the point where she wants to bin her Chinese Passport and get a British/UK one as she feels the UK has taken better care of her than China/Asia ever have. It's a conversation that is difficult to be sure, but...... Can't she keep both if she gets UK citizenship? She has a...

Re: Chiang Mai Listed Where Couple Can Retire for US$1,500/month

Hell, I've visited many countries and worked in them for far longer than just the few weeks vacation when you fall in love with the sun, sea and well.... I have to be honest in saying despite things being stupidly expensive, I will stay in Wales - a beautiful country I live in the Wye Valley close t...

Re: Euros 2024

Fk sake. Indeed..... :( Well, we have a few decent players, but ultimately we've not exactly impressed. Disaster of a World Cup and only a couple of decent results recently got us close - bit shitty going out on penalties though :banghead: Rob Page's days must be numbered, but I wouldn't have a clu...

Re: Travel: Asia & Further Afield

Anywho, seems the LHG's current Schengen Visa expires on the 20th of April so she wants a long weekend in France before having to apply again (which will hopefully be easier - and longer lasting). Being the complete "Romantic" that I am, I may just see what rugby is on as that can be a hel...

Re: Travel: Asia & Further Afield

There was a thing years ago in the US where you could literally get a hire car for free. This entailed returning/delivering the car to another of the company's offices/locations. If memory serves (it doesn't normally) this was usually between airports and they would give you the car (and fuel, insur...

but I truly do hope Alonso will stick around to give up and coming drivers the benefit of his knowledge and experience.... Yes, and that is what he and a couple of others should be doing! But it should not be in F1 races! I see your point Nereus and tend to agree - as I mentioned though, I'd just l...
