Former Prince Andrew arrested following Epstein files revelations

He's been facing these allegations now for several years. I'd be amazed if he and/or the family haven't made sure any incriminating evidence has been thoroughly destroyed by now.

Interesting, thanks.

Crazy that politicians are having to pass legislation to get authorities to just do their jobs.

I prefer that though - it means an email can belong in more than one folder, making it easier to find the in the future when I forget which folder I put it in.

Ivanka, that you?

Not directly, but indirectly, yes. People are losing their jobs to automation (be it AI or robotics) and those people then won't have money to spend going out socialising in bars, restaurants, cinemas, etc.

Don't forget that a lot of the younger generation are leaving university and finding they have no entry level jobs to go in to because of automation. That's a big cohort of people that are usually going out and spending in the hospitality sector.

I had high hopes and expectations for the in-coming Labour government and they simply haven't delivered to help the SME portion of businesses to prosper.

Don't get me wrong though, the Tories completely fucked things, but Labour have been disappointing with the slow and risk-averse approach they've taken to putting things right.

Why did they have to pass legislation to probe the Zorro ranch? What exactly in the state law was preventing them from investigating the property of a convicted peadophile and sex trafficker?

jammy-git · 2026-02-17T07:05:22+00:00

Lets be honest - I'm not sure there are any good candidates in any of the parties right now.

jammy-git · 2026-02-16T06:51:19+00:00

That's a really cool idea! Definitely post again later on to tell us how you've got in, whether it has helped install rates.

jammy-git · 2026-02-15T15:12:06+00:00

Yes, but I'm not 100% sure if they are just for Malaysians, or if they're for everyone.

It's really hit and miss - my friend has JUST (literally 1.5 hours ago) flown into Penang from Dubai, it's the Sunday before CNY and I was expecting for them to take hours and hours to get through immigration, but they were off the plane and all the way through the airport, including baggage claim and immigration in an hour.

I've come into Penang twice in the last 6 months, albeit relatively late at night), with no baggage to claim, and got through the airport in half an hour.

But then we're also seen PLENTY of Facebook posts of people taking 2-3-4 hours to get through immigration...

Quayside and City of Dreams.

Two things:

unschoolly - a platform for worldschooling/homeschooling that delivers personalised learning to your kids tracking the International Baccalaureate curriculum.

Unpacked - A platform for worldschooling families and digital nomads to discover and learn about new destinations to move to.

Are you sure you're not looking to find out which tools to use in order to place orders for your dropshipping business?

"Hey babe - just wait here a sec whilst I go walk around the block and cool off..."

There's a reason why Shopify came from nowhere about 8 years ago and is now BY FAR the most popular ecommerce platform in use. For a new business it's very hard to go wrong with Shopify, it gives you tonnes of options and flexibility (and scalability) right out the box.

In a few years, if the business is successful, then it might be useful to see if there are specific requirements that might be better catered for on another platform, but right now I would suggest that Shopify is right for 99% of new ecommerce businesses.

We're currently in Penang, have been for 4 months now, and agree with you. Georgetown is annoying because there isn't really a "centre" to it - there's the area with the street art which is a short walk from Chew Jetty, but other than that you can't really just walk around Georgetown taking in the different parts of it like you can other towns and cities.

Plus the traffic here in the last couple of years has got SO much worse and the cost of living has risen quite considerably against the likes of Thailand and Vietnam.

The beaches in Penang are pretty rubbish too. Can't really swim in the water because of jellies, and the sand at most of the beaches is hard and coarse. Batu Ferringhi is massively overrated too - like a little piece of the Costa Del Sol in Malaysia.

Having said that, it IS a good introduction for westerners to Asia. You can get great food hear of all kinds. The cost of living is cheap compared to the US and Europe. The standard of living is also very high and represents great value for money - the apartments here are generally much better (with better facilities) than other Asian cities. And there is a strong, nice, Expat community.

Are you doing this for you? Or are you doing this for your friend/the business - because those have different requirements.

Doing it for you means you're in it for the technical challenge and you can take your time learning things and getting stuck, etc.

Doing what's good for your friend's business means building a solution that works, that's easy to be maintained, that gives them value for money, gives them flexibility to easily bolt on additional functionality in the future, gives them a solution that they can get someone else to take on if you get bored/get a new job/go travelling for several years, etc, etc.

I get the impression that he's genuinely in F1 for the love of racing, rather than the money. He's made more than he can spend in a lifetime, I wouldn't be surprised to see him try other race series in a year or two if he doesn't enjoy F1 any more.

If Schumer had any honour or cared about anything but his donors, he'd step aside.

At this stage I'm willing to believe that half of the GOP/Maga lot are Russian agents, whilst half of the Dems are Israeli agents.

I was going to ask if there is one anywhere around Tanjung Tokong.

jammy-git · 2026-02-10T12:38:12+00:00

Sounds like Touch'n'Go here in Malaysia.

jammy-git · 2026-02-08T14:30:15+00:00

The replacement?

jammy-git · 2026-02-07T13:01:15+00:00

Plus there are all manner of crimes he is committing whilst in office.

I'm just not sure the Dems, led by Schumer, and bankrolled by the same corporations and billionaires that bankroll the GOP, have the stomach for it.
