citizen, national, whatever...

(i'm sure on my Irish passport it states that i am an Irish citizen despite me living in the UK, is the same not true for a British Passport holder living abroad?)

if you regularly come back it could well be worth you having an account with some sterling stashed away in it, (maybe attached to some instant access savings account) put any spare sterling you haven't spent at the end of your stay in it that way you can still earn interest on it but have it available when you next come home

for other people, while they may live abroad may still do work in the UK and so they have a UK bank account that that money gets paid into

        Still can't believe the lazy bbc hasn't put the regional stations on dab nationwide (NCFC) - pants, Jul 28, 11:20:40
        
        i was thinking that the other day, it would be ideal for the games then, (NCFC) - NCFC4life, Jul 28, 11:27:14

        Something like 50 odd channels though. (NCFC) - Johnny Comecardiff, Jul 28, 11:27:14
        
        would add more value than the regional TV stations do though (NCFC) - blindasabat, Jul 28, 11:31:40
        
        It would easily be worth imo, people all over the world listen (NCFC) - pants, Jul 28, 11:36:12
        
        I don't think Radio Norfolk is broadcast online during games even for UK users (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jul 28, 11:11:06

        nope, you get spiel about it being outside of their rights or some shite (n/m) (NCFC) - NCFC4life, Jul 28, 11:18:04
        
        Yes, the internet rights were sold to PTV by the football league (n/m) (NCFC) - BerlinCanary, Jul 28, 11:53:17
  - Fly over and I'll buy you a pint of Oranjeboom (n/m) (NCFC) - malkybarkid, Jul 28, 10:03:25
    - Malky, we had a pie orgy last night. Shame you weren't about. (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jul 28, 10:06:04
      - It would have blipped my head off - plus I was sitting in the King's Beer Concrete. (n/m) (NCFC) - malkybarkid, Jul 28, 10:10:24
  - WHAT DO I NEED ? (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jul 28, 09:55:37
    - so still the same then... (NCFC) - BerlinCanary, Jul 28, 09:58:10
      - But that's a lewd of old squit. I use FF3 on Vista with it all the time. (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jul 28, 10:01:12
        
        Yeah, but if you have a problem they'll just ignore you (n/m) (NCFC) - BerlinCanary, Jul 28, 10:02:08
        
        well they have clearly stated that they're not supported... (n/m) (NCFC) - blindasabat, Jul 28, 10:05:53
  - that was my theory, as a fellow Mac user i agree, fuck 'em! (n/m) (NCFC) - NCFC4life, Jul 28, 09:49:53
    - You would think, too (NCFC) - BerlinCanary, Jul 28, 09:55:20
      - Not to mention the price of the sub going up from 24.99 to 39.99 in one year, and (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jul 28, 09:56:31
        
        actually i reckon that's a lod of old bollocks (like the suggestion that it won't work on (NCFC) - blindasabat, Jul 28, 10:04:27
        
        But why would I have a UK bank account ?! (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jul 28, 12:12:25
        
        because you're still a UK citizen... (NCFC) - blindasabat, Jul 28, 12:20:03
        
        I am not a UK Citizen am I ? I'm a British National, but a Citizen of the Netherlands (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jul 28, 12:25:41
        
        citizen, national, whatever... (NCFC) - blindasabat, Jul 28, 12:34:52
        
        Ah OK, well I don't. (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jul 28, 12:38:56
        
        Really? That's outrageous - really gouging the customer (NCFC) - BerlinCanary, Jul 28, 10:01:01
        
        I'm all set up for next season now (NCFC) - pants, Jul 28, 11:51:45
        
        serves you right for living abroad.... (n/m) (NCFC) - blindasabat, Jul 28, 09:58:47
        
        Well, if you live in the UK and use direct debit, it's still a 10 quid rise in one year (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jul 28, 10:04:33
        
        surely they should support Mac format by now, especially with the growing popularity. (NCFC) - NCFC4life, Jul 28, 10:04:13
        
        Their problem is that they've locked themselves into an MS DRM solution (NCFC) - BerlinCanary, Jul 28, 10:13:50
        
        the other argument would be "surely Apple could support DRMed material by now" (NCFC) - blindasabat, Jul 28, 10:11:53
        
        Not really - MS refuse to licence or support WMP 10/11 and therefore DRM on Macs (NCFC) - BerlinCanary, Jul 28, 10:16:49
        
        tbh i don't give a shit who is to blame in all this (NCFC) - blindasabat, Jul 28, 10:26:22
        
        Personally I doubt they weighed up anything (NCFC) - BerlinCanary, Jul 28, 10:42:20
        
        if they thought they could make money out of it i'm sure they would (n/m) (NCFC) - blindasabat, Jul 28, 10:48:13
        
        You can't win. (NCFC) - Johnny Comecardiff, Jul 28, 10:52:50
        
        Obviously not. And there is one thing they can't do which PC users can: (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jul 28, 11:11:55
        
        lol (n/m) (NCFC) - NCFC4life, Jul 28, 11:26:13
        
        It's not a competition... (NCFC) - BerlinCanary, Jul 28, 11:02:20
        
        perhaps they are (NCFC) - blindasabat, Jul 28, 10:56:54
- it ended yisty, they knew you were all going to do it today (n/m) (NCFC) - NCFC4life, Jul 28, 09:46:46
