  1. So not for accepting bribes?
  2. I was going to share this with friends in Scotland, but then I realised that it would be a crime and I would be liable for 7 years in jail for 'insulting' trannies because the article refers to them as 'women' and not simply as women.
  3. Personally I would complain. I expect 5 years from a battery, that comes with a new vehicle. After the second battery ie 10 years I usually change to a cheaper battery with no noticeable difference in battery life. I have had from my local dealer a tendency to wish to sell me things I don't need. I don't know how widespread this is. It didn't used to happen. Now at every service there seems to be something that needs replacing. I always tell them no and have never had any obvious problems with the vehicles. I've moved to change it when there is an obvious problem. I bought a new Ford Fiesta years ago for my wife to learn to drive in....she never did. We took it for service and they said the fuel pump needed changing (16000 baht, they claimed that had to take the engine out, to replace it) as it had just come out of warranty. We ignored the dealer, never used them again and 8 years later the car is still running with the original fuel pump. The other horror story is that my wife crashed the car and we had 2nd class insurance. We took the car to the insurance approved dealer who kept it for weeks on end. When we got it back it ran very badly as though the shocks were shot. I took it to a cheapo place for replacement and found that the original Ford shock had been removed and replaced with old broken shocked, every one from a different manufacturer. The guy I dealt with recommended I went to the police but for what I paid for replacement shocks (4000baht I think ??????) it wasn't worth it....and what could I prove without having any evidence???
  4. Does it include nail biting?
  5. More lunacy. Making an insult into a crime. Progressive policies in action.
  6. Biden's immigration policy is less a policy and more of a lunacy. Free healthcare for illegal immigrants while working, tax-paying Americans have none? Free housing for illegal migrants while Americans go homeless? My vote will go to Trump if he runs against Biden. Why? 1) Ukraine war.....war is my top issue, I hate it and I don't want my tax dollars going to Ukraine. 2) Israel's genocide. Sadly no difference between the the candidates meaning both support the genocide and both ignore international law. 3) Biden's Anti-white 'Didn't Earn It' (DEI) policies of privileges in hiring for perverts and minorities which Trump might ameliorate repeal if he gets in with majorities in both Houses. I want a meritocracy, not a 3rd world DEI paradise. 4) Democrats' anti law and order policies as enacted in Democratic held cities all over America. 5) Fani Willis is in the same party as Biden; her and similar Soros-appointed DAs.. 6) If Trump were to run against anyone other than Satan, I would vote for the other person, if it is Biden or Satan, I'd vote for Trump.
  7. If they made it 'Third-World-Class Destination' it would be true.
  8. Why do we need yet another perverts day? I'm sick to death of them.
  9. They are poorly run. Inventory control is abysmal, as is customer service, as is stocking the shelves when the supermarket is most full with customers. They have staff meetings in the middle of the aisles for goodness sake. Labour is very cheap here, and they could easily stock the shelves at night.
  10. I agree. I'm sure a lot of ETF and certificate holders are going to be crying if the poop flies. Buy physical gold, then you only have to worry about whether it is real or not.
  11. Bob, you have a serious flaw in your personality. If you want to leave, leave, and don't let the door hit you on the arse on the way out. If you want to stay, stay, but please stop posting about every change of mind you have. yes, we all envy you with your carefree life full of rich people things and a massive income, hundreds of women flocking to you and all that, but a lot of us come from the same background as you and realise a fantasy when we hear it. BTW I was an astronaut in my 20's, and investments banker in my 30s, a Wimbledon Champion in my 50s, a billionaire in my 60s and now I can't get an erection. Get a life, pal.
  12. I have the same experience. My wife has asked several times and always received the same answer.You need to file a TM30 within 24 hours or one business day for returning from a trip abroad. One one of my annual extensions the documentation for filing a TM30 was not in the computer (it had been filed electronically) and they refused to extend my visa until we had gone to the office to have them find my TM30 filing and add it to the computer records. It is a pain in the a$$ from an otherwise good office.
  13. Thanks. My main account was opened here way before FACTA was introduced. I am a dual national so I doubt they report anything to the IRS....when FACTA was introduced in about 2010 or so, there was a lot of talk about banks refusing US clients because they didn't want have to report interest etc. My SS of course is paid into Bangkok Bank which is, of course, FACTA compliant, but a bit inconvenient with no debit card (although that may have changed?)
  14. Solzhenitsyn is a vile and terrible traitor to Mother Russia, one of the worst. Read Dostoyevsky instead, can't go wrong. The Soviet era is dead, but some folk cannot let go and their eyes are still poisoned by Stalin. I think if Lenin had lived the Soviet Union would have turned out a better place than having a psychopath (Stalin) at its head at a crucial time.
  15. Honestly, I have stopped using these supposedly cheap websites, as I am always disappointed with the results and sickened by the endless add-ons, that often they don't tell you about until it is too late. I use the airline website and I use reputable airlines like Emirates, JAL, ANA, Singapore. I find this cheaper and less hassle. I also don't wish to fly on airline I hate like (in order of hatred) United, BA, Thai, any European carrier, and 'local cheap flight. I am sick to death of getting ripped off by websites for hotels, flights, car hire and the rest.
  16. I understood the filing date for expats was always June 15th? At least that's what my US accountant has always told me. Has the date change, or was she wrong in telling me June 15th. I have always filed later in the year on October 15th, but I understand your accountant has to apply to file at this date, and you are liable for late penalties if you owe taxes.
  17. Whoa. Yes, the price will have a full and open investigation of themselves and absolve themselves of any corruption. They are taking the pi$$.
  18. I've real all the reports, I've thought about this very deeply, and I have consulted with people who know about these things, and the bottom line is that they are <deleted>.
  19. NATO is certainly intent on provoking a war. I'm not convinced that Russia will take the bait. They want Odesa and then they are done.
  20. The best generals always look to their logistics. No Zelensky, took the US at their word, that they would support him through thick and thin. Zelensky was naive. Something tells me the US are kinda glad not to be throwing my tax dollars away before an election. Biden certainly will not get my vote under any circumstances. I'd vote for Satan before Biden.
  21. NO, Ukraine needs to be held accountable for gross violations of human rights and war crimes for shelling civilians in the Donbass for 8 long years. Putin should have acted much sooner and there would be 14000 fewer civilians dead.
  22. No one likes to die at the end of the war you are losing.
  23. Hamas were 'elected' 18 years ago, there has not been an election since.
  24. Every country I have ever lived in, has had a problem with public sector pensions. The US has 'public servants' who spend their lives avoiding work and get extraordinarily lucrative pensions and now get higher rates of pay than are available in the private sector. Time to rein it in, and for governments to default. The US is worse than Italy was for public sector pensions and benefits....including 30 days each year in sick leave that you can take as vacation if you don't use it.
