Well, that's it folks. It's been a nice time on the forums (started lurking at 14), but I don't plan on having my birthday in a few weeks. Your main problem right now is not that things didn’t “get better”, it is that you are having suicidal thoughts. And I guess those stem from clinical depression...
Jump to postHis firing will likely make him more popular. IMO, in most cases whoever they don't want you watching or listening to is exactly who you need to be hearing more from. You’re still not looking at this from a business perspective. Say what you want about Rupert Murdoch, but he is ruthless and very go...
Jump to postIt’s fairly obvious that the argument for leaving the EU was never based on facts and/or evidence, but on emotions. Johnson, Farage et al campaigned on that basis and added a selection of alternative facts to make the idea more palatable to those who chose to believe the Brexit campaign. The sooner ...

But hey, his passport is about to get scanned, again. And it was accepted as usual. Good for you. You’re allowed to come home. Off course, nothing goes into effect until Midnight Friday. Even then if you’re holding a US passport you’re good to go. Have a nice trip world traveler who thinks no one e...
Jump to postYes, it was. And if you don’t think they track you, you don’t know as much as you think you know about that little blue book you’re always using. Or maybe one of the alternate colors which means they know even more. Thanks, that proves my earlier point about your big opinions based on very little k...

Just as a thought... CBP has access to credit card transaction data - so they may know more than you think. I’m sure that they know a lot, but I’m just as certain that lots of people often don’t use credit cards for travel. I’m one of them. And wasn’t the original point about passports anyway? Not ...
Jump to postLOL. Says the guy who’s apparently never had his passport scanned. Don’t move the goalposts. You said that a passport shows where people have been, which it doesn’t necessarily. As for having it scanned, that will happen again in about 15 minutes and all it does is determine whether or not I’m elig...
Jump to postThat little booklet they call a passport works pretty well for determining where you’ve been and if you should be allowed to head to the US. Nice of you to clarify that you don’t travel internationally, but still have big opinions on it. A passport is useless for this purpose. Looking at mine, a bo...
Jump to postOccasionally they used to operate A346 on some flights to Munich as well as 744 to Frankfurt. Might’ve been that. That was in late 2017 after the demise of Air Berlin. My guess is football fans (either a charter flight or a regular one operated with something bigger than the A320 series) because th...

Jump to postDuring the communist years nazism or extreme right only existed in the west. Then it showed up after the fall of the wall. What he said. The GDR had a totalitarian regime and never went through denazification. The communists simply imprisoned the prominent Nazis, recruited the turncoats and got bus...

The best info for trains in China (or anywhere in the world, for that matter) is seat61.com. This man loves train travel - and is a real expert! I second that recommendation.

Jump to postMy wife and I lived in Shanghai until May of this year and during our year in China, we made lots of train trips. Despite that, I can only encourage you to hire a private car, such as a minivan. The reasons are: Chinese train stations in large cities are gigantic and frantic. You have to walk long d...
Jump to postDemand Media operates content farms. People write texts for them which are likely to be found and rated highly by Google. They hope to make ad money from the traffic that this generates. If it sounds a lot like Buzzfeed, that's because it is. As for the pictures, if they ever were part of the busine...

That's the pro-EU state controlled media for you.
why stipulate services are "another ballgame entirely"? In addition to what TheFlyingDisk said (he beat me to it): Providing a service usually means travelling to the place where the service is needed. If, for instance, an Arup employee oversees a project on the mainland, she will need to...
Jump to postis there any reason for denying Britain's wish for free trade only That is not their wish. The Leave campaign's many blunders and lies apparently included a complete misrepresentation of the European single market as a free trade area, but it is much more than that. This "much more" is th...
Jump to postIt's quite sad to see how the tone set by Farage (nasty, disrespectful and full of bile) seems to have carried over into this and many other discussions. If you're angry that a significant number of Britons based their vote on ignorance or even the idea that "it wasn't going to count anyway&quo...
Jump to postI hope that the UK and Switzerland put their heads together and start cooperating as an independent bloc. You mean like EFTA, which the UK left in 1973 to join the EEC, one of the predecessors of the EU? I bet the Swiss would absolutely adore being taken for that particular ride. Fool me once, sham...
Jump to postYou do not know me, so you should not make assumptions about me or other people you do not know. I have had my camera taken away from me, and a gun put to my stomach for taking pics in Srebrenica during the war. So you do know that it can be dangerous and still laughed about it. That does not make ...

Jump to postThe more I use - or try to, anyway - the new layout, the more disappointed I become. Why on God's green earth did you roll this out when there are so many issues to fix? And by surprise, too, at least to me! Acres of wasted space. Poor readability. Very little A.net blue, no 747, might as well say ...
