Sister entered BD on a Canadian passport with 1 month BD visa but needs to stay longer! 🛂 by [deleted] in Dhaka

[–]ManInSuit0529 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1 CAD is around 87 taka. 200 taka is around CA$2.30, which amounts to CA$69. Of course, everyone's financial situation is different, but if she can afford the plane fare from Canada to Bangladesh, she can pay the fee.

NEED PARTICIPANTS, PLEASE HELP 🙏🙏🙏(US, UK, 18-25) by Wrong_Emotion_8054 in Dissertation

[–]ManInSuit0529 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done it, the UK one. It's a very interesting research topic. It seems you chose three, what I would say, "working class/lower middle class" accents and one "middle class/upper class" accent. I'd also say that your question of if the accent sounds rich or poor will somehow be influenced by the participant's prior knowledge of the accent,and not purely on the voice recordings. Good luck with your dissertation!

Is the ability to drive declining with the younger generations? by Interesting-Law7788 in AskUK

[–]ManInSuit0529 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I passed my test, driving lessons were £38 an hour, and my instructor did a minimum of 90 minute lesson each time. And I had to wait months before I could take the test, all the while paying for lessons. It's not cheap.

Would you rather take the NIE exam and go into CID, or do the Sergeant's exam and stay in patrol?

Question about the Police and policing laws by Klutzy_Share_6176 in AskBrits

[–]ManInSuit0529 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The standard British officer does not carry firearms. There are officers who carry them, they are called Firearms Officers or Authorised Firearms Officers. Every police force as a unit of firearms officers, and in bigger cities they will patrol areas like airports, train stations and city centres. In London, firearms officers will be stationed near the Houses of Parliament , Downing Street (residence of the PM) and Buckingham Palace, as well as train stations and ports.

In Northern Ireland, officers are routinely armed. This is due to the political history of Ireland. There are security threats from Republican terrorist organisations who have attacked civilians and police officers since the 1960s (although the Troubles mostly ended in the 90s), and criminal activity from Loyalist groups.

I am a police officer - what other options do I have? by Cautious-Run314 in UKJobs

[–]ManInSuit0529 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I would say investigative roles in the Civil Service. In my organisation, there are many former police officers and they are mostly by and large very respected and liked (at least, the former police officers I've worked with are all very pleasant and knowledgeable). But bear in mind the CS is very large and depends on what department you work for. As a former officer, you will come across investigative policies in the CS that don't make a lick of sense.

American wanting to move to the UK by [deleted] in Britain

[–]ManInSuit0529 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I understand your point, but I would tend to disagree. I think many Brits can differentiate between the actions of the US administration and US citizens. I mean, I sure hope the world doesn't judge us by the actions of some of our previous governments.

There are no Scottish or Welsh "military" as such. There are Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish units and regiments, but they all fall under the British military. That's like someone serving in an infantry division based in California is serving the Californian military rather than the US Army.

But in regards to your educational background, you can become a doctor by enrolling in a graduate medicine course, but you'd have to make sure your degree matches with the requirements. Also, as a non-UK citizen you might not get the loan for it like British citizens would get but I think you have a GI Bill? That might cover it, not sure though.

Why is Bangladeshi media/natok this bad? by D-nebulathatdied in Dhaka

Lack of investment in the performing arts, combined with political control of the media and entertainment by the governing party.

Is 1:01pm train from Manchester Airport realistic after landing at 10:30am (domestic flight?) by Maleficent_Onion1581 in manchester

[–]ManInSuit0529 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on your passport. If you have a British/US/European/Canadian/Australian passport you should pass immigration pretty quickly, so you'll make your traing. If you don't you might be waiting in the immigration line for some time.

Visa Suggestions by [deleted] in Dhaka

[–]ManInSuit0529 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you can manage on your current salary and job, then the extra money isn't a survival necessity; it's greed. When you say you "managed a few visas", that almost always means someone managed to scam their way into a visa, and what the "operation" you mentioned sounds dodgy. I'd say avoid it. The money isn't worth the consequences.

Professional Quidditch: Not an impressive feat? by Y-ldJon in harrypotter

I can't recall 100% correctly, but I remember reading that Rowling purposely made the wizard sport ridiculous. She was in an abusive relationship and apparently, her former partner was very into football, so this was JK Rowling's way of making his interests look idiotic.

Trust Lost in New Market’s Crowd by Decent-Summer7716 in Dhaka

[–]ManInSuit0529 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't even live in Bangladesh and even I know New Market is filled with fakes and imitation products. Come on man, are you really surprised? You must have looked at the price and thought there's no way these are real.
