Went through immigration at HND three days ago. Saw no fast track for foreigners with QR ( which I didn’t have ). Queue took about a hour to reach the machines to be fingerprinted and photographed, which was then rechecked by immigration officer. Apparently not an unusual experience and made SYD...

I think McLaren have to favour NOR for the rest of the season. It’ll be hard enough for him to overcome VER lead let alone for PIA who is a further 44 points behind NOR. And team orders will prevent another surprise overtake, which could have taken both cars out, harming the constructors title...

yes they are… https://www.bbc.com/sport/formula1/articles/cvg3z3zxgq4o

Zak Brown said the phrase was a reminder of the rules of racing for their two drivers: “Race each other respectfully, give each other enough room and don’t touch each other,” he said. “And that’s exactly what they did.”...

Response Review Traker. Quick survey for 100 pts. About QFF, ways you earn, knowledge of, and attitudes to… Tried not to be too whinging.

A word of warning. A friend (Living in Australia) was contributing class 2 pension contributions of about £150 p.a. She then retired from work (aged 62) and started to draw from her Australian super. Her subsequent Class 2 contributions are now over £900 p.a. The ATO reported her changed...

Unsurprisingly, Logan Sargent has lost his seat at Williams and will be replaced by Argentine F2 driver Franco Colapinto for the rest of the season. https://www.bbc.com/sport/formula1/articles/c3vxek6v192o

Balmain bug sought opinions on car companies. Run for Lexus. 150 points for fun survey.

Ted Kravitz saying on Sky Sport F1 just now that Jack Doohan is a shoe in for Alpine next year. That’ll make 3 Aussies in F1 …..if RIC survives.

JAL currently flies over Alaska and the polar route on Europe bound flights.

Yes NOR seemed thoroughly disheartened. Radio conversations with his engineer about soft or medium tyres replacing the inters were too indecisive according to Brundle. As for Ferraris strategy being poor last year….they're being equally dismal this year too.

During the post race driver interview with Lando Norris, you could see them filming several takes of Pitt and Idris in the background walking up to be “ interviewed “ by the reporters. In his pit report Ted Kravitz was ridiculing the films unimaginative title F1.

He has previously campaigned under the name of Lord Buckethead and among his policies are National Service for all Ex PM’s and inviting Europe to join the UK !

Or buy a fully refundable one way to Manila, Seoul or Taipei?

EU 261 does not cover extraordinary circumstances or events that could not be avoided under reasonable circumstances. I would imagine an airport fire would be considered extraordinary event.

If you live or work abroad (or have previously) To pay Class 2 or Class 3 voluntary contributions you must have either: previously lived in the UK for 3 years in a row paid contributions or had Class 2 contributions treated as having been paid for at least 3 years To pay Class 2 voluntary...

I phoned the Pensions department in the UK who ( i seem to remember ) put me through to the foreign pensions section and the man sorted it all out for me on the phone in about 5 minutes.

Yes, open a UK Government Gateway account. You may need your National insurance number. I think there has to be a few years of previous contributions to qualify for age pension

Agree with andye. ( and this is from my experience as I’m not a financial advisor) If you can get class 2 contributions it’s a no brainer. For the full pension you have to contribute for 35 years, but even pro rata the £170 p.a. NI contribution equates to over £300 extra per year…for the rest...
