  1. Whilst I think your 70/30 is too high, I do agree with there being a demonstrable majority. 65% would probably satisfy that definition.
  2. But it was a majority..............................and that is all that was needed. Red Rum didn't need to win by a furlong - just a nose would have done it.
  3. Why don't you just post them up here. Thank goodness most of us are old men...........
  4. I am taking the same view and I believe my system's defences were strengthened by contracting the virus.
  5. Indians..... I have always known it as Kaek but today read it as "Kairks". Of course it is plural if there is more than one Indian!
  6. Of course you can't - that is why you posted inappropriate comments. I am fully aware that I can 'lock' the rate - for 96 hours on occasions... Read my post again. I have transferred money there WAITING for the rate that I want. I am100% comfortable with that
  7. Away from my missus............................
  8. Well done, 4 years after me ????. My state pension is 160 Quid a week (which wouldn't even get me a marriage extension).
  9. Just missed you....................................assumed it was a ban... ????
  10. No. Clearly you are not familiar with often used terms of "Chocolate man", "Nippon", Khairks etc Why are foreigners called farang in Thailand? Farang (Persian: فرنگ) is a Persian (and Southeast Asian) word that originally referred to the Franks (the major Germanic tribe) and later came to refer to White Europeans in general. The word "Farang" is a cognate and originates from Old French: "franc".
  11. You are immediately entitled to the uplift and should contact DWP after arriving in the UK (they are not interested if you try and arrange it beforehand). You only get the increase for the time you stay in the UK and your payment reverts to the old level when you advise them of your return. Contact IPC for chapter and verse..... https://www.gov.uk/international-pension-centre
  12. You obviously didn't pay a full stamp. You are right, there is no empathy in the UK for expats residing in Thailand. They ignore the fact that such ageing expats are not taking up doctor/hospital resources etc.
  13. Have you been on a ban Couchy? It took you almost a week to reply to that post...????
  14. Certainly not, a healthy tip and a hearty "Chok Dee" is what good taxi service gets from me. ....the b4stards who refuse a pick up, against government rules, get the door left open. Simples.
  15. My friend's 2 year visa approval in 2 weeks certainly helps to lower the average.
  16. Doesn't seem to be working.........................................????
  17. I have £2,000 sitting in Wise (waiting for a rate I like). I am still sleeping at night..................
  18. They would be OK with independence if the English were allowed to vote............????
  19. No chance of that happening in the near future...................most of the proletariat are on the streets protesting Covid lockdown regulations.
