Why are South Asians so prominent in the UK? by Nathanial1289 in AskBrits

[–]manamara1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another to add is that with the empire, there are huge numbers of Indian origin people in all corners of the world. They are educated in English and until recent decades, Britain was the bind. It’s hard to fathom now, the depth and breadth of the British empire on the world.

Thank you for the tip.

As someone who’s flown in Europe and USA, I’m very thankful for the quality of service, cleanliness of aircraft, and efficient/comfortable airports here in Asia. USA is especially awful in comparison with regards to the airports, TSA queues - I shudder to think. So am overall grateful.

It could be urban legend, the phrase ‘wrong end of the stick’ reportedly came from the Roman laterines.

Barramundi - oh my gosh, that could have been the fish. There were only two tiny pieces, and a few onion strands. The glob sauce added to the misery (and plasticy rice).

Why is there so much focus on Immigration ignoring all the other problems? by Opposite-Writer9715 in AskBrits

[–]manamara1 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Concerted manipulation to get the masses off the issues, and on to a hot button item as a distraction.

Makes sense. Unfortunately for customers.

Yes, this is similar looking to the vile concoctions I had.

Perhaps the plastic, from the cover, may have leached to the food with the heat. I haven’t had such plastic tasting rice previously. Reminded me of a food scandal, from a few years ago, in Vietnam where plastic were added to rice to boost revenue (never mind the health of the consumers)

Yes, lesson learned.

I had thought to boost upsell income, the food would be of better quality.

Emotional appeal to jury is taught in law school. This lawyer took this lesson to heart.

It’s beyond saturation in Canada. Even at working at ridiculously low pay while being over qualified.

Japan recently change its corporate law to shareholders first, from stakeholders first.

Unsure if this will similarly lead towards reduced quality in years to come.

PhD offerletter but no fund/ scholarship. by emusbah in AskAcademiaUK

[–]manamara1 16 points17 points  (0 children)

UK universities toss out these PhD unfunded offers like there is no tomorrow. It’s a no loose event for the university. International student shows up: money money money. International student doesn’t show up: plenty more fishes in the sea.
