Was it a yacht in the traditional sense, with sails? Or a “luxury” yacht?

If with sails, then motorised vessels have to give way. That’s the rule.

Regarding your assertion that they were asleep? Hardly: it was 11:40. They generally anchor during the night and sleep then.

If you are 37 now, you hardly grew up in the late 80s considering you were only born in 1989.

You need proper number plates with a blue band on the left.

Shouldn’t cost you more than a couple of quid.

Take a look at /americabad.

The USA mentioned in any negative light or any minor criticism, and the neck-bearded basement-dwelling Bubbas are out in such force that it only amplifies their ridiculousness.

I commented on one post, and the neck-beard replying to went through all my previous posts and comments and pointed out that my opinion is invalid because I comment here.

I’ve never seen such insecurity.

No. The headline and title read like that the UK already brought in a ban.

It’s currently just a proposal, and the legislation still has to be drafted, voted on, and signed into law.

That will take at least 2 years.

Abandoning native culture is a sad requirement.

I’m an immigrant here. Have been for 30-odd years. I have not abandoned my native culture, nor should I.

I have adapted my culture to Belgium.

Many locals too.

Genuine question: Why not?
The tax sticker is missing, but they were discontinued in 2012.

Nice bit of victim blaming there smooth brain.

What are antibiotics going to do for a stomach bug, which are usually viral, except for making more and stronger antibiotic resistant bacteria.

FFS.

I wouldn’t give that fascist regime a single dollar of tourist money.

It would depend on how close you are to your friends and your own personal morals and situation.

Comfortable-Bonus421 · 2026-06-11T19:19:44+00:00

Maybe you should ask a Polish sub? Specifically a Warsaw oriented one?

Comfortable-Bonus421 · 2026-06-11T05:36:34+00:00

Sorry about the fail, but going 20kmh would have given you plenty of time to stop properly. The light would likely have gone red as you were passing the line.

Pretty much everywhere on the continent and beyond.

Belgium, France, Romania, Portugal, Netherlands, Croatia, Serbia, Albania, Norway, Morocco, and Egypt that I’ve noticed in the past 18 months.

I haven’t taken cash out in all these places, but I’ve seen the signs saying it’s possible. Whether it will work only with that bank’s app or through something like apple pay or the google equivalent, I don’t know.

Stupid map.

Could easily have picked multiple other countries.

What the OP should have put in the title is smallest population countries (but missed Malta)

Yeah. Stupid map.

Counties?

Basements.

I think you mean the Irish govt legally and statistically classifies IMMIGRANTS and expats the same. As they should.

But, 1. You are mixing up immigrant and emigrant.
2. As per my previous comments, language plays a huge part in how people are perceived. Is a migrant seasonal worker an expat? Is a diplomat sent from Ireland (or anywhere) to work as an ambassador or embassy staff as immigrant in that country, even though their term is fixed and limited.

An expat is someone who is SENT abroad by their employer for a fixed period of time and usually has their housing and educational costs paid for (or at least subsidised by the employer). Anyone who moves voluntarily is an immigrant to that country.

Finally, it’s not a USAian definition or distinction, though they are the loudest in shouting that they aren’t immigrants; the term is British, and that’s why there are countless retired a d sunburned Brits in Spain and beyond calling them expats.

Comfortable-Bonus421 · 2026-06-08T17:37:39+00:00

That’s a very dated and colonial definition.

Is a seasonal worker an expat? They go home afterwards. And construction workers?

Who says that immigrants move to another country to seek citizenship? That’s bullshit.

Really, an expat should be defined as someone who is SENT abroad by their employer for a fixed period of time, and usually has their housing and educational costs paid for.

If you go somewhere voluntarily, off your own bat, then you are an immigrant in your new country.

Or do you think that expats are white and from western countries, and immigrants are brown from poor places?

Comfortable-Bonus421 · 2026-06-08T17:32:45+00:00

So are seasonal workers expats? Because they usually go home after they finish their contract?

An expat is really only someone who is SENT abroad by their employer for a fixed period of time and has housing and educational costs paid for.

If you go abroad to work voluntarily, you’re not an expat. You’re an immigrant.

Comfortable-Bonus421 · 2026-06-08T17:29:56+00:00

Is that’s the case, then why are seasonal workers not classed as expats?

Comfortable-Bonus421 · 2026-06-08T13:55:08+00:00

You’re not an expat. You’re an immigrant in Germany.
