I thought it was only youngsters my kids age that had a sense of entitlement.

How did the govt find out?

Stop moaning and get a part time job. I only worked in the UK for 5 years but will get the full pension if I continue to pay £160 or so a year in voluntary class B contributions. Great ROI unless I die. UK state pension is a bonus, it's all about perspective. I can build a 4 bedroom house with a pool here for under £50,000, for example. I can live in a hotel and eat breakfast, lunch and dinner in a restaurant, and a bottle of whisky daily all for £170 a week. Better than a council flat in Aberdeen, with sideways rain, wearing a wooly bunnet, eating beans on toast.

I have a debit card I buy everything with in Thailand - I top it up with BTC.

In Thailand nowadays you can cash bitcoin easily, P2P. I wonder if there's any way the government can keep track of cryptocurrency transactions?

Good point, thanks.

Maybe not. One can make a decision to do something and not do anything. Reminds me of the frog story. 3 frogs sitting on a log and one decides to jump off, how many frogs are on the log? three, as one just decided to jump off

Why?

I don't care so much, what gave you that idea?

I suspect you have only been mongering in the places for foreigners.

15 for some professions, 18 for others

What do you mean? I'm neither Palestinian nor gay. Reread what I wrote. Do they really murder their own people?

I consider my brother a real man, unlike what you are portraying here.

Supporting the Free Palestine movement does not equate to condoning or supporting violence against any group, including LGBTQ+ individuals. The Free Palestine movement advocates for the rights and self-determination of Palestinians, which is a political and human rights issue separate from LGBTQ+ rights. LGBTQ+ rights are universal human rights that should be upheld and protected everywhere, regardless of political or cultural context. Supporting the rights of Palestinians does not mean turning a blind eye to human rights violations or discrimination against any group, including LGBTQ+ individuals

Of course no one knows anything about whether he has sex or not, I actually thought he was asexual.

Bizarre he knows I have him on ignore. yet has the most posts on my topic. Thanks.

Well I'll add you to ignore, I don't want any communication with a homophobe. I wonder why you are hanging around a Gay forum.

Are you serious?

Thanks, interesting and helpful. I texted him saying I, and my family are all happy to hear he has found a partner.

Not spoken directly to me, spoke to my mother who passed it on. We only talk about once or twice a year, unless he is visiting here or I there.

It made me happy, quit emotional.

Thanks, I won't probe but just be honest - I wish him and partner all the very best.. Actually, a good friend came out at 30, which I thought late. We had no idea - he always had all the prettiest girls! He often hinted my brother was gay, he said gay people can recognize easier that straight people.

No I don't, what are you on about?

My brother just came out the closet and I'd appreciate some advice about what to say to him. He never actually said "I'm gay" but told us he has a partners and it's a serious relationship. Of course, I suspected this for ages, going to the Eurovision song contest and Shirley Bassey concerts but it's quite a big thing, well maybe not. I think it's great that he is free but also a bit sad that he's been hiding it all these years, or maybe he hasn't - is this possible to turn gay late in life? Should I just say I am happy and not ask questions like when did you know etc?
