I know 3 teachers all under the age of 30 who have bought new cars this year...

I thought teachers were in financial trouble?

Check next year. Probably the Banks are the new owners of the cars and the teachers you would find riding their push bikes.????

Thanks for that....hope you feel all the better for it.

 

Worked everyday of my life from 16, PAYE:

 

Never used the NHS except as a child to have my tonsils removed (they removed my adenoids by mistake)........

 

I now live abroad and am no longer a burden to the NHS,

 

don't receive free travel, winter allowance or warm home allowance.

 

The Home Office make it all but impossible to live with my Thai wife in the UK.....

 

and now you feel it is necessary to punish me financially. 

 

I would also add that as we also have the most pißß poor pension in the EU (70% less than the Dutch)........living abroad in a developing nation becomes a necessity to enjoy anything like a normal life.

 

Go **** yourself.

Some of your points I'll buy.

However Nobody pushed you out of UK I suppose???

It was your own free decision.

Limited flights, most Russian aircraft are leased from the West and are now only flying domestic routes within Russia, to avoid being seized. The flights with non-Russian airlines still open are hardly likely to accept Russian rubles in payment.

They can take a flight to Turkey and enter one of Abramovich's yachts

That calculation might be right in terms of mathematics, but it's wrong in terms of reality, because it doesn't figure in the fact that a lot of vaccine doses have been administered lately as 3rd shot booster doses to people who already had two.

 

So, the actual share of Thailand's population that's received TWO doses is about 72% overall...

 

But even that doesn't mean a lot because really THREE doses are recommended to best protect against the current Omicron variant and counteract waning vaccine effectiveness over time since the first two shots. And the three-dose share of the population right now is only 32%.

 

It's not about the number of shots only but the effectiveness.

The Chinese vaccines are <deleted>, so you have to count only those by Astra, Moderna and Biontech-Pfizer.

So we are far away from a sufficient protection.

My head is perfect normal and I com from a very liberal country...I have nothing against nude and I have no difficulties whatsoever. However I know the difference between sexy and whorish, but apparently you don't.. A  woman in sexy clothing is much more beautiful than in a too short skirt with a open belly and too low top. You can have a diffeent opinon I don't care  it says more about your bad taste and way of thinking...probably you miss something in your life

Ouch, was it hurting?? Don't worry, there are more uptight or prudish people around. Calling nude females "whorish" says enough about you.

It is the difference between sexy and 5 cm too short or too naked

We were born naked. And if you would dare to visit a naturist's camp you would realize how easy it is to live naked together.

However if you're a member or follower of Puritans or got a strange education you might have difficulties.

And so the problem is still in your head.
