So when is the lynching for those who haven't paid? Unfortunately it appears that the death penalty is not applicable for non payment of debts and the legal system can Hum and Haw for as long as there is money available for litigation. Even if there is a court judgement against the defaulters they still have to have assets which can be sold - possibly their land or property - I'm not quite sure how it works. As a non Bolivian I am making sure that I stay squeaky clean as I reckon that I could be deported if I fall foul of the law. Hopefully I will get my citizenship next April and be eligible for a Bolivian Old Age Pension.

Good morning all. I just noticed that Mamajuanauk got a nice Diamond 20 the other day. There's been quite a few other nice badges achieved recently.

Good morning everyone.
 Rod. Even here in good old Blighty we can have overly long legal tussles and on to the point where the Supreme Court says it cannot give a definitive judgement (rare but has happened). |

Good morning everyone.

Good evening all. The North Coast 500 is certainly something to do before you die! I was thinking of doing it this autumn, but I suspect it will be next spring now. Definitely on the list though. Not sure how you define the North coast 500 but I have spent some serious time in the North of Scotland, particularly in 1970 when I worked at Dounreay for six months extracting Plutonium. I have certainly visited most of the bays there and actually went scuba diving in Dunnet Bay at midnight on 21st June 1970. I remember Coldbakie Bay (spelling?), Armdale Bay, Tongue and Durness. Never made it to Cape Wrath but have been over to Lewis and Skye. Beautiful and wild when you get away from the touristy areas. They opened an official tourist route in 2014 which starts and ends in Inverness. 516 miles in total. If you get the right weather (which I did) then the views of the west coast and north coast are spectacular. East coast is rather bland in comparison. Highly recommended.

Unfortunately I have lots of rendering to do for the foreseeable future so my output is going to drop considerably. I had a good run while it lasted!

Good evening all.
----------------------------------------Render away Captain - everyone has to earn a crust to pay for all of the electricity we crunchers use. While you are crunching or rendering you could join the WCG TEAM UK closed facebook group - you would be very welcome there and we could get a face to the name (unless you are shy of course)
