  1. I'm guessing they all have their official job titles, given the "working as a financial officer for a call centre gang" Q. And what's your occupation sir? A. I'm the CFO at a Scam Call Centre Q. And You sir what's your job? A. I'm the Chief Executive Officer
  2. This article reminded me of visiting rural areas in Ireland almost 40 years ago. Middle of nowhere up on a hillside stood villas that wouldn't look out of place in Puerto Banus or Sotogrande in Spain, and their roadside entrances were built like the ones we saw on tv when watching Dallas at the entrance to Ewing's Southfork Ranch. I asked ChatGPT In the 1980s, the people building fancy villas in rural Ireland on remote farmland were often: 1. Returning Emigrants – Many Irish people who had emigrated to the UK, US, or Australia in the 1950s–70s returned home with money saved, wanting to build large, modern homes. 2. Successful Businesspeople & Farmers – Some local farmers or business owners, particularly those involved in construction, transport, or cattle trading, invested in big houses as a status symbol. 3. Developers & Speculators – A few wealthy individuals built large homes as part of early rural property speculation, though this was more common in the 1990s. 4. New Professionals – The 1980s saw some doctors, solicitors, and other professionals choosing scenic rural locations for large homes, though this became more common in the Celtic Tiger era (1990s–2000s). At the time, these houses often stood out as extravagant compared to traditional Irish cottages and farmhouses. Some were built with styles inspired by homes seen abroad, featuring large bay windows, brick or stucco exteriors, and extensive driveways.
  3. Says they can't find his passport, perhaps worth asking the motorcycle rental shops if they have it
  4. Thanks! Just just now realised the DTV is not the same as LTR visa which a few friends have recently got
  5. Are the Non-O and DTV both in the same passport?
  6. My experience using physical Revolut card, it's exactly the same cost as using my local credit card in PTT, seven-11, hotels... but I have no experience using it at the vendors that charge surcharges for card payments.
  7. Just head to your nearest BigC they have the pork loin out on trays, their temperature control must be pretty good as I've never had any issue and I buy it regularly (2-3 times a week)
  8. Have you looked into starting your own farm
  9. That'd be the one with the big " American Express Welcome Here" sign outside
  10. Where did it make mention that he held a passport for any country?

  12. My understanding was that the red bull car was brught in in 2010 for a show. https://www.autoevolution.com/news/webber-does-red-bull-showdown-for-thai-king-28558.html Then this F1 race for Thailand all of a sudden came up very soon after a certain Red Bull heir had more than just a regular run in with a policeman, that may have involved a Ferrari on 3rd Sept 2012. At the time it was rumoured that bringing an F1 race to the country, which would have been looked upon as such a great gift to the country that there could be 100% immunity for a young family member, without that young family member having to go into self exile (aka going on the run)
