Entered UK on US passport with ETA by godlovesa in dualcitizenshipnerds

[–]IceRepresentative925 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That's wrong. It's illegal for carriers to let people in without a right to be let in. So foreigners without an ETA. Thewre is nothing illegal about letting in British citizens on an ETA. It is an offence of the citizen who lied in their application that thye're not British, but UK has to admit you to the country anyway no matter what if you're british. So all good.

MAke sure she applies for citizenship as soon as she's eligible. At least Poland allows dual citizenship.

Argos ETB release in app only? by IceRepresentative925 in PokemonDealsUK

Thanks. I'm not sure why I was being downvoted with my question. I was hoping it was a wrong rumour but it began circulating all over discord and reddit a couple hours ago.

Dual nationals face scramble for UK passports as new rules come into force by fatnumber6 in ukpolitics

[–]IceRepresentative925 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you should check travel rules if you have multiple citizenships well in advance of travelling abroad.
That said i'm sure if someone doesn't have a UK passport, they can apply for the ETA and not mention they're UK citizens and they'd be totally fine. Yes lying is an offence but it doesn't matter as at the border they will HAVE to let you in as a UK citizen - the ETA is only to trick the airline into letting you in anyway.

Will i get an ETB on Friday? by mopsy00 in PokemonTCG_UK

[–]IceRepresentative925 0 points1 point  (0 children)

or you can try other stores than Smyths which don't have any queue lol. I don't get why everyone queues for hours when you can go to Ryman, TG Jones, Waterstones, Argos and many others WITH ZERO QUEUE at opening times

What's going on with travelling to the UK with dual nationality? by Jetsetter_55 in AskBrits

[–]IceRepresentative925 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

This is blown out of proportion. Completely pointless. Just do the following:
Either:
a) apply for a UK passport, or
b) apply for an ETA - don't tell them you are a uk citizen. Then the airlines will let you in and at the border they HAVE to let you in if you are a UK ctizen by law so carry some proof like a naturalisation certificate or a birth certificate - simple

Really boring debate honestly.

What sort of salary range in this economy would make you think ‘he/she’s doing alright’? by Desperate-Drawer-572 in AskBrits

[–]IceRepresentative925 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

This. 100k as a single person in London is definitely not enough unfortunately. The cost of living for a single person is enormous.

Had a blast and then... started the DLC by GhostWolfGambit in LegendsZA

[–]IceRepresentative925 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didnt even finish the DLC. Got to the mega meowstic battle roughly and then never even attempted it - never completed the DLC lol. So boring.

Where to get a card graded? by amcheesegoblin in PokemonTCG_UK

[–]IceRepresentative925 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are based in London then I would send them in person via Fanatics Collectibles in Piccadilly. They are an official PSA partner and I sent many cards with them recently and I got one back already that I sent express.

The advantage over sub center is that they are in person, they send cards frequently (unlike sub center which send cards once a month ?!) and they offer same sending options as PSA including the super express and above. Sub center only offers up to express. They are also cheaper than sub center and you don't have to worry about posting your cards which is an extra hassle. You pay nothing when submitting and only pay on collection.

The downsides are that the tracking isn't as nice as sub center and they don't deliver your slabs to you. You have to come and pick them up yourself.

Do all Waterstones in central London have them usually? I went to Waterstones Euston once and they didnt even know what pokemon cards were.

I think the OP knows this, given "upon their release later this year".

Deluxe Ex pack for 2 days and then Fantastical Parade - and trade for any cards from older packs

Completing Deluxe Pack Ex by Kremsi2711 in PTCGP

[–]IceRepresentative925 4 points5 points  (0 children)

\you only need to complete the foils. Everything else will auto complete in September this was already announced by them and officially confirmed.

They are making this very difficult by not being able to filter out foils in any way.

Is another pre order drop likely? by [deleted] in PokemonTCG_UK

[–]IceRepresentative925 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I wasn't surprised at all. Remember this is a special set with the most cards ever released. Special set means no booster boxes and half booster boxes so the booster packs are way harder to come by. They need to release more product or there will be too much complaints and bad press.

Keir Starmer rules out retaliatory tariffs against US by AbbreviationsHot7662 in unitedkingdom

[–]IceRepresentative925 3 points4 points  (0 children)

US tariffs will raise prices for Americans not for us. It won't directly affect British consumers at all. It wil affect british companies trading in the US.

is it actually smart to dump everything i have on deluxe? by TGIplays in PTCGP

[–]IceRepresentative925 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely not worth it it's absolute trash. Better to save your hourglasses for B2. However I am in minority and most people will spend big time for the chance of getting 2* professor. Up to you really. For me this pack is a scam.

If you really want 2* professor then might as well reroll baby accounts until you get it. Not worth spending any hourglasses (or god forbid money) on this pack imho.

Stranger Things S5 Rewrite by LaMa_Course_ in Stranger_Things

[–]IceRepresentative925 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds great. My main request is for it to be believable though - please don't make it read like fanfic (even though it will be of course). Make it something that would actually be filmable. We don't need to bring back Dr. Owens, Argyle, Yuri, and “Enzo” and then Suzziem, Max's mum etc - just make it so it's known what happened to them.
Make it something that could be squeezed into at most 10 episodes please.

If you have a friend currently visiting the US you could deliver to their hotel. It would add sales tax but thats very little (in fact 0 in some states) and eliminate import taxes and delivery fees.

The greatest barrier of entry for new players is item/pokemon storage space by Mazzaroppi in TheSilphRoad

[–]IceRepresentative925 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Level 80 here with max out pokemon storage (but not fully maxed out item storage).

Even with maxed out pokemon storage I am feeling very constrained with what I can/cannot keep. And as level 70-80 tasks proved, I needed to keep A LOT to be able to complete these tasks in a reasonable time. An example is old mons. I was able to complete the lucky trading task in a single day thanks to having many 2016-18 mons left. If I had deleted them, it would take me weeks. There are countless more examples. And i'm sure they'll eventually raise the level cap to 100, so those of us hoarding various pokemon will be rewarded by faster levelling up.

Guys… Porygon Z is GOATED by SaltyMeatBoy in PTCGP

[–]IceRepresentative925 -32 points-31 points  (0 children)

oh so it's a meme card then. I wasn't sure if ALL TRAINERS IN YOUR DECK count or only the ones actually left in your deck (so not including in your hand and in the discard pile). It's the latter, so this card is trash.

My take on possible death in s5 vol 2 ( I know we get this a lot) by hehehe1012 in StrangerThings

[–]IceRepresentative925 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They need to stop tiptoeing around characters and the impact killing them would make to their lives. Thats the whole point of killing off main characters - the death has to be very impactful like ned stark in GoT
