I would like to hear the question of will he unfreeze the UK pensions , put to Starmer during his election campaign . However at most interviews the questions are often previewed and selected for preference as on BBC Question Time .

and what percentage are lady boys , high I bet

Just looked on Lazada and could not find it at your low price . ฿23,690.00 ฿49,990.00-53%

I was hoping to read that Buriram airport ( currently undergoing large reconstruction ) will become an international airport . Also most provincial flights seem to go to Bangkok where you have to change planes for your destination . If the carbon footprint mattered in Thailand , it could easily be reduced dramatically by flying direct provincial flights .

Thai folks can be so wasteful with water . E.G. My ladies house has the government water supplied but is unreliable , slow flow to a trickle and so it is never used . We have a well with a decent supply but the MIL is not concerned with the preservation of the water supply . She seems to think it is never ending , she waters the road outside of our house to keep the dust down . Does the laundry with the hose pipe giving non stop water for an hour or so to the twin tub washing machine . Told my lady that the well water has taken many years to get where it is and tell mama not to be wasteful .But no , Thais know best and she carries on regardless . Near Buriram a friend has just had a well bored in his garden because of the poor flow of government water . The local council told his wife that they will not allow any more wells to be bored in their area because the underground water supplies are low .

That was the UK foreign secretary David Cameron meeting with the Thai PM on promoting trade etc . Cameron was asked by the Thai PM if a reciprocal arrangement could be made on visas but DC declined to debate it . The UK makes a significant handout to many countries under the "foreign aid budget " . Pity they don't consider their own people first . They turn a blind eye to their own impoverished pensioners but are happy to house and care for illegal immigrants . So the highly paid UK government and elected MOP are really saying " I'm OK Jack " . Not to mention the House of Lords dinosaurs .

Sure however a change can be made and I would say a new tabled motion to unfreeze the pensions would not be opposed in the Commons or Lords .

1946 , very few people retired abroad , maybe only the wealthy so it did not concern the middle/ working class UK citizens . Also the wealthy did not rely on the UK State pensions . Move forward 50 to 78 years and retiring abroad is not unpopular as the State pension is enough to live on in some countries . Certainly not sufficient to live on in the UK where benefits have to be claimed to supplement the State pension . Also many people move abroad because the warmer climates are conducive to their well being . Indeed there has been cross party committees set up to unfreeze UK pensions , alas without success . The UK retirees living abroad are no longer a burden on the state which should be seen as a plus for the UK government and should be encouraged as it lessens the load on the N.H.S. , frees up housing and additional benefits do not have to be paid . The C.O.E J. Hunt has done his sums and to unfreeze the pensions would directly amount to extra billions a year but he has not looked at the indirect benefits which would possibly counter the increase of unfreezing . The frozen pension is seen by most people as unjust because where you live is your choice and having paid your contributions you are entitled to the annual pension along with any increases . The 1946 legislation needs updating . The UK State pensions is a right not a benefit .

Agree and I cannot understand how appeals against the current frozen pensions have never been successful . There are so many wrongs that the DWP defence has little chance of winning , or so you would think . Furthermore the demand should not only be to unfreeze but also to pay the back what has been frozen over the last few years as the DWP do if a benefit has been wrongly claimed . Smells a bit like the UK Post Office scandal .

Same me but I am a bit concerned about online security when I turn it off so sometimes I connect the VPN to Thailand and my speed test is not bad .

3BB and use WIZZ TV

Are you saying that the HM gov will accept a down loaded signed copy of a life cert ? I thought that the signature had to be an original which is signed on the original life cert form .

Same for me , starting at 7 pm onwards . If I wake early , as I did this morning at 02 00 am , I was able to watch the QPRv LEEDS game without buffering . But that is not consistent as the buffering can happen at any time . I am not using my vpn when watching the TV . Speed tests when using my vpn can result in kbps only .

Solar whirly birds ? , did you fit yourself ?

I know it is possible to buy postal addresses in the UK . If in the Philippines that would be interesting . Play the UK government at their own game . They say it has been in place for 70 years , well its about time it was brought up to date . Unfair and unjust but the general UK population are not concerned as they remain in the UK . I would like to see the UK pension minister , Mel Stride , cross examined on live TV by an informed assertive pension expert . Not only is the UK pension one of the lowest in Europe but they don't want to pay it unless you stay in the UK where the weather can have some bad effects on the pensioners health .

Please tell me how it can be demonstrated that the visitor will depart the UK at the end of the visit , especially for a self employed person such as my lady who has her own business and house . She was turned down last time because it was not believed she would return to Thailand . Do your g/f use an agent ?

A German friend told me that he read recently ( he cannot remember where ) that the UK immigration has made it a lot easier to go there with your Thai partner , for short breaks of around 2 weeks . Has anyone heard the same ?

My mystery is why was Wizz TV giving a poor performance but at the same time my other Thai TV box UK programmes were playing well with no problems . Both from the same router and Ethernet cable , using 3BB . Also whilst I did mention the slow speed test when having my VPN on , I only use the VPN on my laptop , not when watching the TV . I reported the event to WIZZ who said that everything was fine at their end . However the following day WIZZ TV has been working well again . Fingers crossed

Thanks for that but my enquiry to 3BB about outage , they said no problems their end . BTW I am paying a 3BB sub contractor for a V.I.P. service which guarantees 200 Mbps and never below that but often below that . E.G. . last night I could not watch UK TV via Wizz TV . Speed test showed little or no results . All channels not opening but the local Thai LOOX TV ran well . Much to my ladies delight . Then early this morning I was able to watch SKY Sports football with no buffering etc . WTF is going on ? I have had the 3BB technician come to my house and carry out many speed tests to try and convince me that it is my equipment that is the problem but he could not better my speed test results on any app . Then he produced a 250 Mbps speed test from his I phone . What a jerk . I told him to go in not a polite way . I have been told that many people are ditching their ISP providers and opting for a decent router ( Archer 600 ) with a sim card and connect to TRUE internet . A friend has just done this in the UK with good results and a substantial saving . Anyone here tried this ?

True but they can or may lessen the potency of the infection which will enable the infected person to recover in a short period of time and without some possible nasty long term effects . No covid vaccine claims 100% immunity .

Police first action to call Chong Chom border crossing and notify them to stop and look for a man wearing along-sleeved green shirt and a hat and also stop all grey Hyundai vans .

Are your speed tests good if you are using Tunnel Bear when connected to say the UK etc ?

Also , of the infected people , how many were wearing a mask ? I bet it is a high % . These medical masks are the most commonly worn mask . They give the wearer a false sense of security . They do not stop pathogens , in fact they stop very little as the masks have side cheek gaps and are never sealed . However if the wearer has a cough or sneeze the water droplets will be contained but I have witnessed people pulling down their mask to cough or sneeze . Often the masks are dirty , having been kept in a trouser pocket of cluttered hand bag . Often the wearer has the mask over their mouth only or even under their chin . Medical masks are a waste of time , only a n95 mask can help if changed daily . but they are not comfortable to wear for long periods .

The mind boggles , power cut right at the climax time . ☹️ , 🤣

I use a V.P.N. ( Surfshark ) most of the time on my laptop . I have noticed that there has been a lot of " no or slow connections " recently . So I did some speed tests and was surprised at the results as follows . FAST Speed test = no VPN 390mbps down , with VPN 20 Mbps down . OOkLA no VPN = 250 Mbps down , with VPN = no connection . Test my.net with VPN = 26 down , no VPN =55 Mbps down , When connected using my VPN I have a UK location address . Are my speed test results typical , or do other VPN companies give better results ?
