Beating the animal to death is far more humane than poisoning it. Don't farmers in developed countries still shoot dogs that ravage their animals? They used to in the UK and rightly so. Unfortunately there are now too many who treat their dogs like human beings. We had visitors this weekend. On their departure the owner said, "Say goodbye to the dog." My immediate thought was to give that person a soldier's farewell. The dog would have enjoyed it and burst it's raincoat it has to wear. Pathetic. I like dogs. All the dogs I've had were treated like dogs and trained not to kill chickens. . Now bring on the dog pampering brigade's comments.

The weather forecasting is about as much use as a one legged man in a backside kicking contest. Despite forecasts of rain and thunderstorms, my garden is looking as dry as the Gobi desert, with no significant rain in weeks. Thunderstorms are forecast for today and the sun is shining with not a cloud in the sky. My hung seaweed was a better forecasting indicator.

Chiang Rai begins controversial repatriation of 126 Burmese children
Gandtee replied to webfact's topic in Chiang Rai News
So where are the children's parents or guardians? They must have had someone looking after them here in Thailand. Or were they in the school's dormitories. It seems they are just being thrown from of a place of relative safety and learning, into an unknown place of civil unrest and danger. Will they receive an education? This needs more publicity and exposure. The International media would love this. -
A joke?????

UK pensions. Is this the right forum?
Gandtee replied to Gandtee's topic in UK & Europe Topics and Events
Did they contact you to say your pension has resumed? -
Interesting. I was married in the British Embassy in Bangkok over thirty years ago. The marriage certificate was translated into Thai and registered at the District Office? I doubt a divorce in the District Office would override the British Embassy marriage. Any thoughts? No. I am not contemplating divorce but have been tempted sometimes.????

As the songs says.'It ain't what you do, but the way that you do it.' Maybe 'It ain't what you got, but the way that you use it,' applies here.????

Gammaglobin. I understand where you are coming from. But not all of us left our wives behind by choice and not all of us dipped our wick in Thailand at every opportunity. Behaving like kids in a sweet shop. My English wife of twenty five years died in 1982. I still occasionally dream of her, even though I've been happily married to my Thai wife, who I met outside of Thailand, for thirty six years. For someone you loved I think they stay in your subconscious forever and no doubt pop up in your dreams. Erotic or otherwise.

They inflict a long lingering death. No vermin deserves that. I saw numerous rats glued down when in Brunei. They were alive and screaming. You then have to dispatch them. When I had rats I used cage traps and give the rats a flying chance, by releasing them on the lawn. My dogs at that time dispatched them quickly and humanely. Some did make it into the undergrowth to freedom, so fair dues. Cats are OK, but they just kill everything, including the birds and lizards.

I just replied to the email they sent me. Maybe just go to their 'Change of circumstances' site and use that. I did the first time..

Banks won't witness the form now. Our lawyer did both my my wife's and mine for Bt500. Sent by Thai registered mail Bt275.

I have not received my pension since May. I emailed them on their Any Changes to Circumstances website and received a reply two days later informing me that they had not received my Proof of Life form. The last one I received was in 2020. They enclosed a PDF of the form, which I've returned. I'll just have to wait and see. I bet the problem of the op is the Proof of Life form.
