Where's my crystal ball,

Better leave the Philippines before you get shot.

Will a UK record (vinyl) turntable work in Thailand?

NO, it won't work, when you go to the other side of the world

it spins counter clock wise, everything is back to front, ask

Bart Simpson.

Buying / having a holiday home abroad has always had a mystique about it,

we are going to our holiday home in Thailand, Majorca, Bali, Caribbean, you

name it would make anyone jealous, now the rose tinted glasses come off,

what are you up for,,

a property that needs year round maintenance

a property that is devaluing daily

taxes, because you live abroad you pay double

if you are a US citizen feel free to cry at any time

squatters

theft

inheritance / land taxes

when you want to sell no buyers for you, they are all looking at the new place next door

a new law in Portugal is to be implemented,

it goes like this, your property tax will increase based on,

how close to the water your property sits

how much sunlight it gets

the size of terraces and verandas

if it has a pool,,,

and people still want to buy a holiday home outside their country of origin,

sheer madness,,,

I nearly ran over a girl talking on her phone

wandering on the road, walked in front of

me, lucky i swerved, i don't need more

nutcases trying to commit suicide.

Just like many things in our world,

it's done to death, the excitement

is on the decline or nil.

When i heard Trump wanted to build a wall along Mexico (to keep Mexicans) from entering

the US i decided to research the subject, it seems building a wall along Mexico was not to

(to keep Mexicans out) but rather to keep it's citizens in,,, why

* it seems Mexicans are leaving the US at record numbers

the economy of Mexico is growing faster than that of the US

* US citizens pay tax globally,  many citizens are renouncing their citizenship

and leaving the US at record numbers.

It puts things into perspective, mainstream media tends to take things out of context.

Trying to beat the clock,

who came first?

It's only numbers,  you can manipulate them to your advantage.

I use windows 7, leave me the hell alone,

all good here, keep walking Johnny, walker.

But they all look the same to me.

Looks like rat dropings

I just love these headings, sorry it's my fault.

Leave her alone

It wasn't me, the knife did it.

He went to school in Nigeria

This is one of the reasons i reluctantly avoid Cambodia
