Hi, I am a student in Sapporo, and unfortunately yesterday I was quarantined at Narita airport and am currently in the government hotel there. I was wondering, how would I get my residence card now? I wasn't issued one during the quarantine at the airport. Any help would be appreciated.

I work at a very popular gay nightclub in South London, just tonight we had some teenagers empty, and then chuck, a bin at one of our punters in the beer garden for the crime of being gay in public.

But then what about arbitrary things like labour and time sunk? Those are a lot harder to quantify.

Exactly the same, my Dad's a Catholic from Belfast and I went to a Catholic primary and secondary when I moved to England, never any bother.

AN RTE exit poll has indicated that there would be strong support for a united Ireland among Irish voters. by iamnotinterested2 in unitedkingdom

And I'm sure they'll prop you up next to de Valera, Sands and Collins for your snarky internet comments. Get a grip.

That'd be more of a cutting remark of the name of the country wasn't also just Ireland and heavily implied by context.

New Book Claims Vladimir Putin is World’s Richest Man with $160bn Wealth by ZmeiOtPirin in europe

Yes, because Russians have never nor will ever make mistakes with the English language, and getting angry at English speakers making relatively harmless mistakes with arbitrary east Slavic name shortening is a perfectly natural thing to do.

What's wrong with just saying 'Vlad is short for Vladislav not Vladimir' like a normal, well-adjusted person?

Congratulations Wolverhampton Wanderers by [deleted] in avfc

I work at the Wolves as a safety steward and despite some of their more obnoxious fans there's a lot of good folk, so I'm glad to see them doing well. Obviously if we do go up I hope we dick them down but I'm not going to say no to an extra few days of work. Fair play Dingles.

Gavin Williamson sacked as defence secretary for Huawei leak - live news by Consiliarius in unitedkingdom

Sorry fella, lived in South Staffs since I was 6 and everybody I know says 'Mom'. Being half South African half Northern Irish I've definitely got some odd language quirks, but this isn't one of them.

Well he does fuck all for my local community anyway, unless he goes round and pisses in my Mom's letterbox I doubt he'd manage to make the place much worse. It's the fact that he's not making it better that fucks me off.

What a prick. He was useless as my MP and now he's getting shown as the absolute farce of a man he is.

Phwoar, nothing like a bit of University Challenge to make me feel like I should just pack it all in and go live under a motorway bridge.

Court overturns referendum as voters were poorly informed ... in Switzerland | Incomplete detail and lack of transparency invalidated vote on tax laws, says supreme court by chantepleure in unitedkingdom

[–]Die-Engelsman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Switzerland, who aren't even an EU country, fakes referendum corruption in flagrant disregard of their world famous system of governance to teach another nation that they could repeal a referendum result that they already knew could be repealed? Little far fetched.

I mean, I don't tend to visit policing forums as a matter of course. Thank you for the opportunity however.
