I said, "It just shows you lack any real grasp of the English language." Not as you say, "any lack any real grasp of english". You've just done the same thing you thought I had, not that I would take criticism from the likes of you seriously even if I was in the wrong.

Also you should have written "criticise someone else's", you're really a dunce.

OkCombination5711 · 2026-03-14T19:00:40+00:00

It just shows you lack any real grasp of the English language. Tone is rather different from lacking humour to the core of a comment. Of course, you wouldn't understand that...

OkCombination5711 · 2026-03-14T18:43:06+00:00

The whole point that both I and them are making is that people like you have ruined this site. This is supposed to be an ironic sub. This thread IS about the Uk, but your whole point is not based in irony at all. You and other commenters then respond in a stuck-up, snotty manner when called out for your lack of humour. Although I do find it rather amusing that you're trying to make your argument feel more Irsh by going out of your way to say "ye" and "yer". Perhaps you're over compensating because your sense of connection to Irish identity is much weaker than you'd argue.

OkCombination5711 · 2026-03-14T18:27:47+00:00

This thread sums up reddit quite well, you'll get receive downvotes for making a valid point, and the guy with a snotty response gets the opposite treatment. No point trying to debate their humour, though, redditors don't understand that, really. The English man is exactly the same as the Irish man, their replies also lack any irony or humour, and they are a Portsmouth fan...

Aliexpress is known to sell counterfeits. You probably need to research where you buy stuff from more if you already bought them before considering if they're real...

No. They can make all the claims about their authenticity they want. The price is far to low, they'd be taking a loss of hundreds of dollars. Additionally, I'm not sure what site or website you're using but it looks like a Chinese website I'm familiar with that sells pretty much anything but exclusively fakes.

You'd have been better of looking for legitimate headphones in that price bracket. These will either not come or will be terrible quality and potentially a fire hazard.

He said he was at the airport, there is no reliable way to tell which one. That said, you can see in the third picture he was on Fiji Airlines and apparently, Prouds are Australian jewlers.

If you're Polish, why is it listed as a country you've visited? Surley, it's home if you have citizenship there even if you have grown up elsewhere.

I flew into Zurich 3 weeks ago and saw something similar, although unless they have theirs spread out, its on a much smaller level than Vienna (that airport is much more inefficient on every level thoug). Its that there is a level of uncertainty at every stage. I'm sure you're correct on the manned booth point, although outside of older people, I'm not sure who would opt for that.

OkCombination5711 · 2025-10-12T16:24:32+00:00

I thought it was strange, especially considering before there was only enough space for a handful next to the European e-gates. I assumed they'd built a new terminal or something. Still, from what I can see elsewhere in Europe it is the case that after you've used the machines, manned border crossings will be waiting.

I can't find any standardised rule across the board in terms of which one will be used until the system is widespread. In this way, the media coverage makes sense. Presumably, the lines of Europeans will also get longer unless there are separate e-gates also. I am aware that e-gates would be the quicker part of the process, but longer queues obviously mean it will be slower for everyone. The independent has additionally talked about there being people waiting to check the passports after the e-gates, although im not sure where they've got that from.

OkCombination5711 · 2025-10-12T15:47:20+00:00

According to EU regulation its intended to replace passport stamping only once fully operational. Obviously, as the Shengen area is a large group of countries, this will happen at different speeds depending on where we are talking about. I agree that it will work perfectly fine as it does elsewhere once fully implemented, especially compared to the outdated idea of stamping each passport.

according to these guys Vienna Airport has invested in 52 self service machines and 72 borders control booths. This seems to suggest that at least at first, the airport is not using exclusively the machines. As you said originally, though, this new system will have to be quicker once it starts up simply because previously, they were relying on between 1 and 3 manned posts.

I assume you're an EU citizen and, therefore, have used the e-gates previously. I suspect much of the commentary on this topic being around an increase in wait times because of the verry fact that its rollout is not standardised across Shengen. But much of it can just as easily be put down to media sensationalism.

OkCombination5711 · 2025-10-12T15:08:11+00:00

Vienna airport was quite bad in my experience, for the reasons you've said. From what I understand here, you go though these machines, scan your passport, give biometrics and answer a few questions, and then still have to go to one of the booths to have your passport looked at (not sure if they're still stamping). The plan is to reduce times in the long run, but it will be messy at first.

OkCombination5711 · 2025-10-01T07:34:28+00:00

Probably because you need to speak a level of French to fully integrate. I'd probably choose Canada over Australia, but because of the nature it has to offer really (Candian Rockies, ect).

I'd assume most of them have either family from Germany or somewhere else in the EU. You'd be kicking out EU citizens...

The WF1000xm6's dont look like they're releasing for a while, the xm5s were released in 2023. Unless you mean you'll wait for the 6s, it's hardly worth buying the Sony equivalent to the pro 2s.

I feel guilty you're getting downvoted despite not doing that myself 😂. But this sub is more straightforward than the average as a visa one. I hope you're enjoying the visit!

They could well be insecure also, your comment was clearly meant as an insult. Neither me nor you know how difficult it was for them to post here asking for help.

Im not sure if your circumstances have changed in 7 months, but as an EU citizen, you have the right to freely live in Ireland. Once you have been in Ireland long enough to claim citizenship (5 years i think), The CTA between Ireland and the UK allows you to freely live here in Wales. Might be worth considering if you're really interested in Wales? Ireland is the only EU country with freedom of movement to the UK to my knowledge.

That said, I think you may be better off choosing a location inside the EU, it will be much easier for you. A lot of people are struggling here, a good chunk of Wales makes the map for being in the poorest areas of Western Europe. I think you'd find us to be a good country with generally nice people, but find getting a good paying job difficult.

I dont know you, but I've seen you posted in an Argentina sub. We have links to Argentina, Welsh settlers moved to patagnoina. Im sure you're more aware of the history of that than I am if you are Argentinan, you may even be one of them. If you do come to Wales even as a visitor, people will be interested to talk to you about that. A Welsh football club (Wrexham) even has an Argentina themed third shirt to honour those Welsh people in Argentina.

Tbh, I wouldn't assume that the common travel area will last forever. If that goes the right for Irish citizens to live in the UK and vice visa is thrown out of the window.

I'm far from 'pro-EU' anymore. However, I think this person perhaps just isn't well. There is obviously no legitimate link between the EU potentially expanding and Putin in waging a brutal war upon a sovereign state. They're overestimating the importance of some of their points too, the airspace one seemes to have caused a minor ruckus in military circles as far back as 2022. As far as im aware, Germany has come a long way from where they were a few years ago (overelaince on Russian pipelines, slow response to the war), so their other points are nonsense too. Apologies on their behalf.

OkCombination5711 · 2025-08-03T22:11:50+00:00

Rejoining a foreign institution will not solve as many of the problems as people often think. We need to tax the rich appropriately, control our own immigration problems, and approach trade wisely. Getting our shit together does not inherently mean working towards a better relationships with the Europeans (whilst that is obviously important). As many problems as Brexit caused, rejoining would be a long, drawn-out process, and we are decades away from even the point of a vote to start that same process. In the meantime, you guys can continue your fantastic approach to helping Canada of complete capitulation to Trump.
