    Well, I certainly won't have to live rough/on the streets 🙂  But I prefer to spend my retirement in a reasonable location in the UK, rather than some squalid Muslim-infested place  (I was born/brought up in Leicester, so you can maybe understand my take on this).

     

    So, if you're a Luttrell, how come you were raised in a S*%#8hole like Leicester then? I thought the family home is at East Quantoxhead?

    I'm from Watchet BTW...

    It was 'just for me' as well this morning, will pop into the bank this week. Previously they told me the system couldn't handle foreigners, clearly now it can.

     

    And before you ask I have a fairly new mobile running Android 15 and have been a customer with Kasikorn for nearly 20 years.

     

    Exactly the same for me too, pretty much the same circumstances as you...

    Because they’re a super power and have man sized balls. Iran would do the same if it could. Threatening to close the Strait was predictable and lame. They might even try to mine it. Either way, unless they meekly give in, it won’t end well for them. 

     

    And what do you think will happen to them if they "meekly" give in? Just leave their fate in the hands of the Israeli war criminal and his puppet in the US?

    I've always found that Thais have very weak immune systems.  They always seem to be quick to go to a pharmacy just for a poxy cold.  for most westerners i think we will just sit it out and man up.  i don't know if that's why they have such weak immune systems?  Maybe that's why there are so many pharmacies in Thailand cuz they can't wait to pop some pills for the smallest thing.   

     

    A lot of it is because having a freeish health service is still a novelty to most Thais.

    They're all still at the use it more because they can, stage...

    First, you would be amazed if you actually knew how many half-wit bar managers as well as bar owners there are in Thailand who can´t speak Thai, or just a little bit. Also, if a person is really interested, there is no problem in learning Thai enough to speak very well in just 1-2 years. There are people doing it in just 4-6 months, but they are remarkable.

    Regarding, if you refer to German language, it´s not like you think. I am born in Sweden, and 100% Swedish coming from 2 Swedish parents. However, I read German, Spanish, English and of course Swedish in school. So, yes, naturally i speak German. After that, I have also added French and Thai to my spoken languages. Maybe you think that is remarkable as well. 😉 

     

    I don't agree with a lot of your comments, but I do think that your language skills are remarkable...
