I'm surprised all 14 million MFP voters haven't been charged with 112-116 violations.

 

But maybe that would look bad?

Early days......

Sorry, posting issue !

Trying to say that I believe the OP has misunderstood the forecast. Essentially, although it shows 14 "payable" or "qualifying "years, you have already contributed enough to get near enough the full state pension and would only need to pay one year to achieve the maximum.

 I think I made a mistake. 211 a week, 221 a week with paying 11,500

520 increase a year - 22 years to break even - so my original approx 20 years was correct

Dead and mentioned what don't you understand 

 

 

Your logic for a start !

Given your refusal to acknowledge that, concerning battery life, "entirely drained" equates to "dead."

Nope

 

Drained it says 

 

You can't just make things up 

Yep

"The rescue team swiftly arrived at the scene to find the car doors unresponsive due to an entirely drained battery."

Suggest you read the article again.

In this proposed visa scheme, tourists must first pass through Thailand as a central hub

Ah....and that's when they'll introduce an extra arrival tax !

Where was it said DEAD battery? 

"entirely drained" seems to cover it !

Remove the headrest in most cars and the attachment rods are designed purposefully for breaking the window from the inside. But don't tell your children this....

Exactly the outcome which was decided some months ago. No surprise. What will happen now is the interesting bit. The power of the minority elite and the military can not and will not be challenged through democratic means. Will the Thai people rise up and force reform?

Not unless they don't get their promised Bt 10,000.

The point is not to pay for stuff like electricity or gas, that you would pay anyway.

 

The point is you to pay for things, that you would not pay otherwise and that you are limited to, like pre-processed sausages, instant soups, soft drinks, floor cleaning products ... basically stuff you would live without and you would not buy if not given. Just to give extra spin of economy to go around products, that you would not do otherwise.

 

Gas and electricity are not there.

But the poor, who (if sensible), will use it to buy their normal items....eggs. rice, milk for the kids, washing powder etc. There are many everyday necessities that the "bonus" money can be used for. It just means monies that they will not spend on them in the future.

Of course, it requires a degree of personal financial  management....which I guess the government supposes/wagers that the majority of people don't possess!

Yes, they are not afraid to put an end to this mess that the cops should have done weeks ago.  How many complaints must be filed before action is taken?????

At least hundreds, according to the report !

Every time I walk past Cheap Charlies it’s full of lonely, old, miserable, penny-pinching, expat pensioners…kinda like what the average AN poster would look like!
 

 

 

 

Every time you walk past.....try not to look in the mirror !😁

50 million people making individual transactions of bt 1-2k each time is going to need an awful lot of monitoring !  

Is this where the job creation comes in ?

Sounds like he didn’t see her.

You only have to stop on zebra crossings if you see someone.

If there is nobody there you just drive straight through. 

Except that he DID see her, she was there, and he just drove straight through.

I flash my lights, honk my horn, and at times, roll down my window yelling out 'zebra crossing'.

 

Never think you are safe as a pedestrian walking in a zebra crossing. I have had to avoid vehicles many times while walking in a zebra crossing. These days I enter the zebra crossing while waving my arms and yelling out 'zebra'....

"Buffalo" might result in  more success !😁

Well he opened the gate & walked into their premises!?

Or maybe he pole-vaulted over the wall to pet them eh?

maybe they lost face, like you were raising their kids for them or something? seems crazy but I think Thai men can actually be that petty and jealous.

Quite likely the "wife" shamed him, so he responded in that way. More pertinent as it was a foreigner involved.

Swift ? always the swift something or other😀Vagueness on the action part. But be assured it will be swift.

Yep. it's always "swift" because they "rush" and arrive "promptly" at these incidents that always leave the local community "in a state of shock" .....blah/blah 😁
