    Copilot seems to give more accurate results than Bard.

    Jimmy Carr is in Indonesia

    Jimmy Carr is in Indonesia and will appear in Jakarta tonight. Next stop Bali. If you are a Brit you will know who Jimmy Carr is. He is one of the very few un-woke.. non politically correct comedians left in the dystopian, ultra woke UK. There have been many attempts to "cancel" him but...

    My Comparison of The 2 Largest Shopping Sites

    I agree with most of what you said. The thing is that most of the online shops that are on shopee are also on tokopedia so any differences between the two are how the two platforms handle cancellations, complaints and delivery costs. If it's available, i always opt for instant delivery. The...

    Axing The "Ex"

    If it's any consolation.. if you can hang in there and keep breathing until the age of 80 you will get the over 80 pension irrespective of NI Contributions.

    Axing The "Ex"

    It's difficult to fathom that anyone who has lived in Indonesia for any length of time would want ever to go back and settle in the UK.

    Indonesia set to introduce strict new law banning sex outside of marriage

    I don't know about cherry picking but the guy is clearly a racist. Substitute "white people" with black, brown, Indian, Arab or Chinese and he would be banned.

    Indonesia set to introduce strict new law banning sex outside of marriage

    That's exactly right. The bottom line is that sex outside of marriage is now ILLEGAL in Indonesia and punishable by a year in prison. The fact that (at present) it can only be reported by a family member misses the point. (That could easily change to include other aggrieved or malicious people...

    Indonesia set to introduce strict new law banning sex outside of marriage

    No matter how the law is applied and whatever the workarounds are, the fact is that the word is now out in Europe, the US, Australia etc that sex before marriage even for tourists is punishable with a prison sentence in Indonesia. The consequence is that lots of people will be put off coming to...

    Indonesia set to introduce strict new law banning sex outside of marriage

    This story seems to be hitting the news around the world. However the law is applied, in the end it's the headlines that people remember. Terrible publicity for Indonesia when they are trying to promote tourism and sell the "second home" visa program. I am sure lots of prospective visa...

    Indonesia set to introduce strict new law banning sex outside of marriage

    It might be closer than you think.. This was reported today in the UK Daily Telegraph along with other articles in the bill. There again the Daily Telegraph gets a lot wrong. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2022/12/02/indonesia-set-criminalise-sex-marriage-even-tourists/

    I received the same notification from AMEX a couple of weeks ago. My card was issued in the UK and they no longer support cardholders living in Indonesia.
