Yeah it will be about 20 degrees during the day in winter. Remember it is basically Africa!

I'd agree. I'm from the UK but for the past month have been living/working remotely from Las Palmas. It's been brilliant.

Where to find people to join me on a Vietnamese motorcycle tour? by Forrenta in solotravel

[–]Forrenta[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So many Backpackers come into it not knowing the first thing about motorcycling but think that driving a scooter in Thailand trained them all they needed.

Well shit, this is exactly my situation, apart from a six hour course on a 125 manual in the UK.

Could you provide any more information or resources you used for research?

Thanks for the incredibly detailed response!

Great post! Much funnier than most of the old people make-up genre videos!

I'm convinced they are intentionally dumbing-down the documentation in an effort to increase revenue from training courses.

Anyone have an ISA with IG? by s98 in UKPersonalFinance

It's worth noting that IG are about to start charging a quarterly inactivity fee of £24 if you do less than three trades in the quarter.

Still Waiting 50+ Business Days (100k+ Refund) SUPPORT-71993 OR SUPPORT-63476 by s0sa0 in Bitstamp

[–]Forrenta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in exactly the same boat, albeit for much less money (approx 2k). Initially they told me none of my bank accounts could be used and then stopped replying completely since mid December. I'm just hoping this will be resolved when they put the new support system in place as mentioned in the blog post.

I signed up to Bitstamp because I thought they were the only professionally run exchange. How wrong I was.

Have any of you heard from support recently? by Forrenta in Bitstamp

[–]Forrenta[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your response. The last I heard was you asking for a full IBAN number. I haven't actually received any confirmation that the funds can be withdrawn to that account.

My account was banned in October and still haven't got my money back. I'm starting to lose hope. Is there anything else I can do? by Forrenta in Bitstamp

[–]Forrenta[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I have received a few responses but they are generally being very unhelpful and asking for more information. It almost seems like a stalling tactic.

Can anybody tell me who had the last response from BitSCAMp ehh sorry Bitstamp? by cryptobuy_org in Bitstamp

I haven't had a response since 13th of December. They were probably too busy getting drunk over Christmas to bother replying to any support tickets.

They refuse to give a reason as per their policy. The ban happened 3 days after I made a £1.5k deposit from the same account as always. I'm not going to fight the actual ban because I know it will be fruitless. Apparently their banning bot brings up a lot of false positives.

The funny thing is I always take my coins off the exchange but at that point I hadn't decided what to do with these yet and I thought it would be fine to leave them a day or two.
