Are the Canadians exporting people to Rwanda too?

Hardly unusual, there are loads of English people eligible for irish passports. A few on here IIRC.

Aye but most of them ain't claiming to be the chosen son of Albion sent to fight the invading hordes of darkies. It'd be like Gerry Adams getting scooped with a UK one.

Re: In todays news...
Wasn’t he pro Brexit? In which case why did he feel the need to get an Irish passport - thought the British blue one was enough, according to the pro Brexit peeps?

It’s not fair that my Joey Dunlop accent doesn’t get me a passport.

This might interest a few on here, I always thought the MOD was exempt H&S laws. The RN was always stingy with hearing protection, the guy firing the GPMG got it but the guy a few feet away didn't.BBC wrote:MoD to compensate thousands of veterans over hearing loss

Re: In todays news...
I sent this to my hearing aid wearing ex RM mate. He said they do a leaving medical and his hearing was pronounced as good as the day he joined, 28 years earlier. At some point he did get a small amount of compensation, just enough to cover 2 or 3 sets of private hearing aids.Mussels wrote: ↑Mon Jul 08, 2024 11:56 am https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c29d4l36139oThis might interest a few on here, I always thought the MOD was exempt H&S laws.

Thanks for the heads up Mussels. I'm going to email the solicitors when I get home and see what they say. I was serving for 4 years after the date given but any damage would have been done a long time before that.
I had a hearing test a few months ago though and they reckoned that my hearing loss was pretty much normal for my age. I doubt I can show it was service related even though I, like many others was subjected to damaging noise levels.
Que sera, sera.

Quite.
Hot and humid here so I put my aircon on today for only the second time this year to make the downstairs cooler while I do a pile of ironing.
I set the temp to 28°C. It's very pleasant.

It's a wonder that anyone in Lazarote is still alive with all that deadly heat.
