  1. 'm reading a 1994 Ruth Rendell book and this paragraph still and always rings true. 'At the time he was aware that she had that great gift, on which so many politicians have founded their success, of being able to say nothing at length and in a flowing sequence of polysyllabic, fashionable words, of talking meaningless nonsense in fine mellifluous phrases with absolute self-confidence.' Spot on, Madam. R.I.P.
  2. I've noticed his syrup of fig (wig) is looking a bit frayed around the edges and a bit floppy across his bonse. Is it getting ready to call it a day? It can't cover up for him forever. He is looking more and more like an over-the-hill drag queen.😄

  4. My license was cancelled when I reached 90. Just as well, the mince pies are not what they used to be. My wife drives me now, bless her. A heart attack is just one beat away.😉
  5. My electricity has just been resumed after I lost it for the second time in a week. I've been warned that the water supply in the district will be knocked off tomorrow. We're doomed! We're doomed!" The sky is falling in.😉
  6. They can be such bitches.😀
  7. The frog under the coconut shell springs to mind.
  8. If I remember correctly, On their rise to fame, one of the Beatles made the same comment.😀
  9. Not quite true. If you return to the UK, you can claim a full pension even for a few weeks. On your return to Thailand, it goes back to the original. I've written letters to MPs. Nick Clegg replied, "I have raised this in the House and it is not on the agenda." That was way before the influx of illegal immigrants who have contributed nothing and the money spent on them.
  10. She should have whacked it with her shoe and knocked some sense into him. Another quality tourist abusing a Thai cockroach.😉
  11. Nonsense. Name calling is indefensible. But seems to be acceptable in some countries political arena now. Disagreement and putting opposing opinions is not bickering, or confined to the aged.
  12. A stupid remark. The man was objecting to all foreigners living here, and some supporting Thai families being lumped in with the tossers that cause problems. He made a fair and reasonable point.
  13. Point taken. I was objecting to a comment 'Zelensky goofing around.'
  14. Mine was 20 minutes yesterday. My wife collected my passport today. All ticketyboo.
  15. Difficult for whom? The applicant for having to make another journey for a document that has been thoroughly checked and just needs a stamp? Or for the Immigration officers? Years ago, I could apply in the morning and collect my passport in the afternoon. Now at ninety-one, I could do without the extra journey.
  16. 'Zelensky goofs around'? I would suggest that he is trying to protect his country from an invader that is getting support from Trump, who never served in the military for his country (bone spurs?) and his traitorous administration. Who would give up their country to an invader? Treacherous Trump is aligning himself with Putin, who is playing him like a puppet. Not long before he gets his comeuppance, methinks. The sooner the better.
  17. Ni Hao? I am not Chinese. I'm a Farang. I'm offended. Watcha cock!😃
  18. One wonders what Europe and the UK would look like now if Trump had been President and sided with the aggressor in 1939? Perhaps the USA would have been next on Hitler's shopping list, much the same as being on Putin's list now. With friends like Trump, who needs enemies? He is untrustworthy and is treating the world like he treats his lackeys. I feel sorry for those Americans who lost their lives protecting their foreign friends. And ashamed and sorry for the Americans that are now reaping the havoc they have sown and are becoming even more isolated from the rest of the world due to the lack of trust. God Help America.
  19. After the visa is granted and the passport to be collected later at Jomtien Immigration, Does it have to be collected in person, or can a person with ID and collection number collect it?
  20. I'm sure the requirements to extend my yearly retirement visa are tucked away on this site, but are there any new requirements, and what requirements? Thank you in advance.
