Belgian People are right on this. These agreements are bad.

Which bits do you particularly dislike Dicky?

TIPP & CETA have clauses that allowed international corps to challenge local gov policy's in international tribunals and also to skirt local laws. Don't think I'd take the benefits of free trade over protecting people and the planet.

Cheers lads. Was about to pay for a 1 day sky sports pass. Thought I may as well try out sportsmania for a month. Great stream of the liverpool match - will be subscribing for the year when the month is up.

One thing that did annoy me was that they sent my password in email - good job I use a different password for every site.

I wish every other county would stop doing interviews. 99.99% of them are bland and santisited to the point that they offer no insight.

They already are used at the Mexican border.

Farmers will be using them for crop survey to help with targeted spraying etc

Am I doomed to get a people carrier.   :-\

Got number 3 on the way (that's us done), so does anyone have any ideas on cars that would take 3 car seats. Come February I'll have  a 5.5 yr old, a 1.5 yr old and a new born. So basically one iso fix and two high back chairs.

If I had no option I'd probably look at an s-max but boy they do lose their value quickly.

I know it's nice to respect the dead but there are few matches now without a minutes silence. It's like there is a committee setup to work out who the minute silence is for. Anyone remember when this started to be common place

It does annoy me when public sector workers are striking for pay/benefits. In this regard they do very well compared to the private sector.

I would be more supportive if they where trying to tackle the working conditions of front line workers. I think it's a disgrace what is expected of a them. Giving pay rises does not help this situation and one could argue that it is counterproductive in solving it as the cost of hiring just increases putting more pressure on the front line.

I know NI water is not public sector anymore but the mentality is still there - they had a 20% pension contribution and where asked to contribute an extra 3% themselves and they go on strike. What happens they get a pay rise to cover the contributions backdated to last April . On call contributions increased and backdated. And the icing on the cake is that they don't have to contribute to the increase for maybe two years. That's the shit that annoys me

Just reading through and it says;

Visa Waiver Program requirements are:

The passport must have a machine-readable zone on the biographic page.
Issued on or after October 26, 2005 – Each Visa Waiver Program passport issued on or after this date must have a digital photo.
Issued on or after October 26, 2006 – Each Visa Waiver Program passport issued on or after this date must be an electronic passport with a digital chip containing biometric information about the passport owner.

One of the passports was issued in July 2006 (Between these two dates). So is that alright?

Confused!

The passport falls in the Issued on or after October 26, 2005 category. :-D

It needs to have a photo not the biometric info
