Do you have common law marriage where you live? In some places you are considered “common law” married after living together for a certain amount of time, which can help in estate settlement.

I have the same problem but it’s two watches (despite turning off the setting that means either watch should have an alarm linked to the phone)

As others have mentioned, core exercises will be key here.

Some more traditional non-core exercises like squats and deadlifts will be engaging your core muscles (and a reminder that your ‘core’ is your whole trunk/body and not just your abs!), but you can progress this along with additional core exercises.

As someone that sits a lot for work, I really like to do ‘supermans’ and variations of them, a basic one is to lie flat on your stomach with arms and legs extended, then raise your arms and legs off the floor. You can hold, do them as reps, “swim” in the air, add in some pulls (like an overhead row if you have a resistance band or something you can attach in front of you).

Yoga has been mentioned below, but I would add Pilates to the list as well, there are plenty of core exercises to go at.

I was not aware the share codes last that long now, the last time I used one (for work, although this was several years ago) it was only valid for 4 days and my employer refused to accept it which was a whole thing. I was under the (incorrect) impression that the system for border clearance would be worse than that. So I have changed my mind on this point despite your flippant comment, which was argumentative for no reason.

On the case of trusting the UK government to manage the immigration status digitally for people I still have my doubts. They don’t have the best track record.

I have my own UK passport now so I am a bit out of the loop but any sort of system where a person doesn’t have offline proof of their status that they can keep seems like it is open to issues (although physical only also has its issues so there are pros and cons no matter how you approach it).

I don’t quite understand why you are dismissing this person’s concerns like this. The codes are available for a very short period so there is a chance that if there is a WiFi or other network outage they genuinely could not get to the code.

It’s also not as though the UK has the best record when it comes to managing immigrants despite their promises.

You are welcome to do a quick google on what happened to Windrush immigrants, the trouble that EU immigrants have had post-brexit, and UKVI’s general rules, wait times, and fees. Much like the US, the UK’s immigration policy has been made highly hostile to many forms of immigration, limiting options for families and managing to bungle things at several junctures.

I agree that it is hard to put faith in a system like this where your immigration status relies on the availability of a network or even a single government site with no physical or offline backups.

Hadn’t actually thought about this but it’s a good point, they are varying the T&Cs with no consideration here.

Can’t argue there, but I do recommend a train ticket app for e-tickets

Why would you get a ticket for the tube/bus/overground? You can now pay with any contactless card or apple/android pay.

A parliament has a maximum term of 5 years. Any change to the date of the next election will have a direct impact on the latest date of the next election.

Depends on whether or not there is a snap election this year…

My tiny gripe…

On iOS, I have set a couple weekly to-do items (recurring) that all have sub-tasks….

Except there isn’t a way to just see the subtasks? I have to click into the reminder, scroll down to subtasks and click into that.

What the heck?!?

The whole settlement scheme has been a disaster. uKVI has historically been a truly terrible organisation. I personally have been given false information from them on more than one occasion so this doesn’t surprise me in the slightest.

Why is extraordinarily ridiculous though, is why someone from the EU that already had permanent residency wouldn’t just have that acknowledged or have automatically moved onto the new scheme. UKVI will already have her details on file electronically with biometric enrolment data.

Anything to make peoples lives miserable, in yet another clear implementation of government policy. The cruelty is the point.

Pretty sure the Cuban population tends to vote republican because of the press about democrats being socialist wannabes or whatever.

Didn’t Obama loosen restrictions on Cuba and the Trump put it back to how it was before?

How weird to see where I went to school on the news in this way and yet rather unsurprising given the culture in the area.

Mine isn’t coming until November, which is crazy but it is what it is.

Bit of a cock-up with the order though which was fun…

Did a preorder on the 22nd before I headed out, set up a trade in and finance via the Apple Store. About 2 hours later I got a text about additional identity checks or whatever, text says you have 90 minutes after clicking the link so I thought that was fine, will sort it when I get home, no luck. Waited on hold for 2:15 the next morning to get through to Barclays finance only to be told you have 90 minutes from the delivery of the text and because I missed the window I had to cancel and re-order, which is a bloody stupid thing.

Got the order cancelled and resubmitted but now I have to wait until November… 7-14th is my window. 😭😭😭
