  1. Another Russian government security building in flames. They really should update their wiring. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-64975202
  2. Braverman unable to offer any legal routes to the UK for many asylum seekers.
  3. The trouble is then Putin will have to use the regular troops and conscripts, and they're a shambles.
  4. Ha ha, thank you for all your suggestions folks I think I'll send most of the money to my trusted friend via Swift in two or three lots. That way I can be sure the money is in the UK and I can use it to open an account when I return.
  5. Transferring say £5000 three times, £15,000 in all, to my trusted friend in the UK, is starting to look like the easiest route. I think you can transfer £3000 a year as a gift but after that the recipient has to pay tax if the sender croaks within 7 years
  6. I have to go back to the UK to live in a few months and being away over 30 years I doubt my old Nat West account still exists. My question is how can I transfer money there whilst I'm unable to open an account there till I return? The only solution I can think of is to transfer money to my trusted UK friend and then have her transfer it to me once I arrive. Thanks for any useful advice.
  7. Extraordinary delusions emitting from RT.
  8. Harry, you're not in Kansas, and you may not be in the US soon..
  9. On the Thai news this morning the weather woman only gave northern Issan a 10% chance of rain. I reckon the Meteorological Office have to err on the side of caution, warning about billboards getting blown down, just in case some do. Still, all is not lost. Looking at this 10 day forecast for Udon, I see the night minimum temperatures rising to 26 degrees in just over a week. That's when the storms will begin imo.
  10. Yes, I thought you were agreeing. Wasn't it Goebbels who said if you tell a lie long enough, people will believe it?
  11. They're rarely Wright though I wasn't aware they had expanded to forecasting Thai weather, presumably during matches in place of the absent commentators. 'A long ball to Rushford, meanwhile thunderstorms are expected in Udon'. Not humid enough imo, and when the Meteorological Office here announced the start of the dry season a few days ago, I wanted to weep. There's been one drop of rain since October, that's five months of dry season already!
  12. Surely in football someone has to lose, or at least draw. A win win is impossible unless one side is betting against itself.
  13. General Winter has failed Russia https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-64899045
  14. So under this bill, victims of human trafficking no longer have protection if they go to the police. I hope Andrew Marr is right and this bill will fail
  15. The greatest male singer from Issan imo. Died last year way too soon
  16. I read recently he's his village phu yai ban. Another wonderful song from his early days.
  17. I wonder how Siripon is doing these days. That wonderful hoarse voice from the beginning!
  18. Great aerobic music, free style .
  19. Another song from the same album. She had the perfect voice for high octane morlam.
  20. Jintara on fire. How I loved this album of hers back in cassette days. Thank you Proton for finding it online for me a few years back! 555
