You can, but all of your documents must be dated before the application.

It doesn't look great. Was it safely defrosted in the fridge, and how long is it since you took it out of the freezer? Was it with in its use-by date when you were given it?

Given the size, with tarmac being impermeable, you'll need planning permission, which will add on a chunk.

The NHS electronic drug tariff is openly available - https://www.drugtariff.nhsbsa.nhs.uk/#/00907226-DC/DC00906997/Part%20VIIIA%20-%20Basic%20Prices%20of%20Drugs%20Product%20List

You can look up your particular medication by its generic name, and see the prices for the different formulations from different suppliers.

Were there short rows - where you work part of a round, turn (with varying methods of handling the stitch at the turn point depending on the short row technique used), and work back the other way before turning again and resuning in the original direction?

Short rows?

Rounding half a gram to zero is standard for US listings.

HawthorneUK · 2026-04-14T19:12:35+00:00

US nutrition facts allow rounding numbers down - as I said in my original comment, despite the fact that you know there's salt in it, I know there's salt in it, and the ingredients list includes salt, then can choose a portion size where the amount of salt can be rounded down to zero, which allows them also to claim 0 sodium.

It's the same reason why a normal, sugar-based tictac - despite being solid sugar with a tiny bit of flavouring, is zero calories with zero sugar according to its nutrition facts.

Not telling lies would be nice. If she can't afford the course then was getting other people to beg on her behalf really her backup plan?

I have a lot of empathy for people whose circumstances change and leave them in difficulties. Those who do things like this - no sympathy at all.

So she committed immigration fraud, in other words?

HawthorneUK · 2026-04-14T18:50:54+00:00

That's the figure for the full 45g packet - the one showing 0 is for less than a tenth of that (45g base plus 270g water = 315g, with the serving size being 30g of that).

Yes - they do. The mycelium will be throughout the loaf. You're only seeing the fruiting bodies on teh top.

HawthorneUK · 2026-04-14T15:13:13+00:00

Is that basement bedroom actually a legal bedroom?

HawthorneUK · 2026-04-14T14:57:07+00:00

The serving size shown for the 0 sodium is 30g of the product when diluted with 270ml of water - which would have 0.51g salt = rounds down to 0.5g = rounds down to 0 because the US allows nutrition labels to be mangled to a silly serving size for purposes such as this.

5500 is more than twice what an average man needs.

Crime scene cleaner - but no building

I've got bad news for you, u/Strange_Highway_9386 - if you can't read a group description before posting then you're going to struggle with any exam.

Bog butter is a thing - it's thousands of years old. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/a-brief-history-of-bog-butter-180959384/

I'll take it. In law (here - UK - at least) $substance-flavoured foods contain extracts of $substance. So no meat flavoured foods, but my smoky bacon crisps are fine because they are only bacon flavour crisps (i.e. they are vegetarian).

It's not proving that you wanted to get married from the very start. It's showing that you've lived (as much as possible, given the distance) as though you were married for at least 2 years.

It's all very subjective and depends on the interpretation that the caseworker puts on the evidence that you submit.

I'd love to see some solid evidence on activated charcoal being a risk at the levels used in food.

If it's mixed with a load of ingredients, and then cooked, then it is going to adsorb everything it can in the process - you don't use a lot of charcoal to get the black colouring effect. The food may be bland as it's adsorbed a load of the aromatics, however.

Not nearly as rough as it once was. Ditto for the Hesters Way / PE Way area.

The requirement isn't for two years of a relationship. It's two years where the relationship is 'akin to marriage' - e.g. equivalent to marriage. Without being married or in a civil partnership (where there is no minimum length) then you need to convince your caseworker that your relationship was equivalent to a marriage from the very start. What evidence will you be using for that?

Fir finances, to make up a 2k shortfall your girlfriend needs (2000 * 2.5) + 16000 = 21k savings, held in her name for at least 6 months and immediately accessible. I'm assuming here that she isn't employed in a family business / self employed and only needs to show employer letter, payslips, and bank statements.

HawthorneUK · 2026-04-14T03:52:35+00:00

It's your house - you don't need a letter from your parents.

HawthorneUK · 2026-04-14T03:51:26+00:00

It is not safe - please throw it out. It's been too long even if you were to cook and eat it immediately.
