No other prisoner has a net worth of US$2bn

It took him 15 years........................ If he had bottle he would have negotiated house arrest for a few years at the outset.

"Master of the situation" ? You believe that BS? You have no idea who is pulling the strings.

The point, that you will never be capable of seeing, is that your hero may not be the angel that you want him to be

As far as I am aware Thailand is still joined up with it's road traffic offences and vehicle licencing. It will come, I am sure.

"buy"

You would look good if you had his billions to help with cosmetics.

There will always be a next generation of rice farmers. What else could they subsist on?

I think you will find that Pheu Thai only received 29% of the votes. Not a great return for all those 500 Baht's.

....from paid lackeys...

Try Prakhonchai Nick...

Is there one? Apart from him being a criminal.

Not that sophisticated........draughts maybe....

No need to complicate things - actuarial calculations do not come into it. Specific pension scheme rules will will apply and they will usually quote a widow's pension of 50%. They will also usually state a deduction based on age difference. In my case it is 50% with reduction of one percentage point for each year over 10 in the age difference. We have a 20 year age gap so my partner will suffer a reduction to 45%. In most cases it matters not if you are married or not, same sex relationship or not. Most pension schemes will accept a nomination for your other half - if you change your other half, change your nomination.

No. Life certificates are not sent to UK addresses.

I told you back in May that a stamp was not required. Since that time I have witnessed 5 Life Certificates which were returned without a stamp. Guess what?.....not one was rejected!

Yes That is an unnecessary stamp in a box on a form that is no longer required. I have not used a stamp for over 10 years (since DWP said that a stamp was not necessary). You literally need to think outside the box! Just because outdated forms have a box for a stamp does not mean that DWP require a stamp. Have a go at them by all means for not updating their letters to reflect the relaxation in their procedures. DWP of softened the requirements gradually in recent years, first saying that anyone who can countersign a British passport application can sign a Life Certificate. More recently they have said that anyone of good standing, not related to you, can sign. I am sure that you are smart enough to understand that KannikaP is absolutely right - you might as well sign it yourself. This is just a tick box exercise and when the forms get scanned, when they are returned to Wolverhampton, nobody undertakes any due diligence - the system is simply marked that that pensioner returned the form.

No. I sign about 20 of these every year. Stamp not required. Join the dots from here:- https://www.gov.uk/state-pension-if-you-retire-abroad/report-a-change-in-your-circumstances https://www.gov.uk/countersigning-passport-applications

It is a very uplifting version but obviously not better than S&G. David Draiman shouting out the lyrics at the top of his voice does not make it better than the original. As much as I do like the Disturbed copy, I frankly prefer the rendition from Tom Ball on America's Got Talent:- https://www.google.com/search?q=tom+ball+sound+of+silence&sca_esv=557708880&rlz=1C1SQJL_enTH1054TH1054&biw=1920&bih=923&sxsrf=AB5stBiWPHqE0KumdKwiC6Nn9iMah3LOZA%3A1692253907248&ei=077dZL3WDoW7hbIPk5eU6A8&oq=Youtube+Tom+Ball+America's+Got+Talent&gs_lp=Egxnd3Mtd2l6LXNlcnAiJVlvdXR1YmUgVG9tIEJhbGwgQW1lcmljYSdzIEdvdCBUYWxlbnQqAggEMgoQABhHGNYEGLADMgoQABhHGNYEGLADMgoQABhHGNYEGLADMgoQABhHGNYEGLADMgoQABhHGNYEGLADMgoQABhHGNYEGLADMgoQABhHGNYEGLADMgoQABhHGNYEGLADSNUXUABYAHABeAGQAQCYAQCgAQCqAQC4AQHIAQDiAwQYACBBiAYBkAYI&sclient=gws-wiz-serp#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:adf73f52,vid:G2YBJGBSMjk

A stamp is not required for DWP life certificates. Fact.

I didn't know that the UK license had to be renewed every 10 years. I do now. I probably won't bother, and just rely on my Thai D/L.

Request what you like - the Thai authorities will not waste their time if the death is deemed 'natural'.

Oh well, at least I now know that I don't have a clue. Being someone’s ‘whore’ or ‘toy boy’ is undesirable in the scenario described. That is not the case with working girls in Asia. Not one of the girls has felt, to me, like a whore - as we relate to in the West - and as I would probably feel at some point in the Toy Boy scenario described above.

Oh dear......I wouldn't want to be someone's whore.....or Toyboy.

I've paid all my life.........................no secret there.
