  1. Nothing wrong with a bit of golf. What would you rather do? Play golf? Or run a country? Play golf? Or watch four dead soldiers get unloaded from a plane? It can't be all work and no play.
  2. Marched off in a strait jacket, put in a padded cell, and fed Big Macs to keep him subdued.
  3. The other day, regarding the girl dancing around after she flipped a car, I said that I hope she wasn't British as we already have a bad rap here. Then along comes another moron to prove that rap is deserved.
  4. Wasn't it him and his crony Brown that sold off half of the UK's gold reserves at the bottom of the market? Fool. Look at the gold price now.
  5. When you post something EMS and they ask to see your passport, are all your details entered into their systems and kept? If so the hackers likely have my passport details, name, address and phone number. If on a trip to BKK, I go shopping, I normally box everything up and EMS it back to Samui. It's pretty quick, cheap, and saves me having to carry it on the plane.
  6. Why is Canada and Mexico not on there? Still having background discussions? Or did Donald think he might have made a mistake with the closest neighbours.? A bit too close to home if they both turn to China. Canada can make getting to Alaska difficult and expensive, and Mexico is building the Intra-coastal Railway that could be faster and cheaper than the Panama Canal for transporting cargo containers..
  7. Any Teslas on that island? Burn them penguins. Or at least leave some penguin poop on the driver's seat. 😁
  8. So was Elon Musk's 2 million that he paid to buy votes by the sound of it. 😁
  9. Wall Street plummets ,trillions lost. It must be Biden's fault.
  10. I sure hope she wasn't British. We get a bad enough rap as it is.
  11. Soon due to be the hub of earthquake records.
  12. Thai car buyer thinking: Should I buy Honda, Toyota or Mazda vs Chevrolet or Ford? Tesla or BYD ? Hmm
  13. They should have plenty of source fuel from all those night markets.
  14. I can't see the Thai doing a Canadian style boycott. Thy can't live without their KFC, Dunkin Donuts, McD etc.
  15. You can fill in the form at this address to ask for a call back. It should register you just by completing and returning it. https://secure.dwp.gov.uk/request-a-call-back-to-pay-voluntary-national-insurance-contributions/contact-form Or try the UK Pension Service on one of these numbers for advice: Telephone: 0800 731 0469 Textphone: 0800 731 0464
  16. No point in worrying about it. Nothing anyone can do. He has Presidential immunity for his actions, and will likely pardon all his pals before leaving office. Seems to be popular with US presidents nowadays. Of course, if through old age or natural causes he pops his clogs, they will all be in the doodah.
  17. If they were that big she could possible claim "life saving devices" for swimming.
  18. So he had indecent photographs of a child, which left him open to possible blackmail, and had stolen sensitive data. A slap on the wrist should teach him a lesson.
  19. UPDATE: I phoned the UK Future Pensions Department last week. Did the application over the phone. Surprisingly call was answered fairly quickly. I had previously downloaded and completed the forms from the gov't website, so had all answers readily availble. In fact I was asked for much less that I had entered on the forms. The official also registered me to top up before 5th April deadline. Once registered, you are in the system, andthey will get back to you, even if months after the 5th April. i was told that I WOULD receive a lump sum for any pension due from last last birthday when I came of pensionable age (66) up until the date I chose to take my pension. So pretty much the same experience as Simon43 posted a couple of weeks ago.. TIP: I bought one of those 003 packages from AIS that gives cheap calls. Make sure to pick the one for UK. Just add 003 to phone number, so for example UK 00344(0)123 456 7890 you must drop the zero in brackets. Therefore would dial 00344 123 456 7890 HTH
  20. You only have until 5th April to notify that you wish to top up. However if you phone before then, they will register you, and even if it takes a few months for them to get around to it you will be OK. But you do need to register before the 5th. I don't think they will be bothered whether you were working or not. They are only interested in if you paid into any other social security system or made any payments to the UK system or perhaps any tax due. . HTH
  21. I am on 3BB in Bangrak and no problems here. It did go out about a week to ten days ago. I received a text message from 3BB that a cable was damaged in my area. Another text a few hours later that all was back to normal. On the whole, I am very happy with 3BB’s service. Pretty solid and consistant. Unlike my electricity supply. I did change a few settings in the router I am using (I have 3BB’s one in bridge mode) a few months ago due to Netflix buffering. Been OK since then. I’m wondering if you might have a faulty cable or loose connection somewhere.
