  1. Don't think they recorded such things before Brexit. I used to walk on and off the ferry UK/France and didn't even take my passport out of my pocket, nobody seemed to care. But you may be right, the UK authorities still think I'm in the UK, so maybe it's just a glitch with my data.
  2. Why not tell them you inherited the money (millions) from your parents who died 20 years ago? And you've had no income of any kind since the day you inherited.
  3. Me too, everything 'scrupulously sourced' tends to turn out to be socialist government propaganda.
  4. If you're unsure, you should tell DWP you're unsure, else that would be a lie.
  5. If you're gonna lie, why not just lie about where you live and get the full pension all the time?
  6. It's a photo of my former bosses wife, I think she was about 25 at the time, and had already recorded the TV series, "Adventures of a call girl" with plenty of nudity, as was her appearance in "Penny Dreadful". About the only wife of someone I knew that I ever desired (which is why I use her as my avatar).
  7. You might be able to tell that, but I can't. In fact I freely admit I have no idea what a woman thinks, or why she does stuff. All that vindictive/destructive/harmful stuff they do after it's over, no idea either. And wanting to you harm you, harm their kids, harm themselves, completely inexplicable.
  8. "Habitually resident" is to do with your future intentions, and not the number of days you spend in the UK. If your thoughts are, "I'll spend a year in the UK, then I'll move back to Thailand", and you state that, then you would be habitually resident in Thailand, and when you returned to Thailand, your pension would be returned to the payment you received on your first stay in Thailand. If on the other hand, if you returned to the UK with the intention of staying there forever, then simply change your mind later, your pension would be frozen at the rate you next left the UK. Australia pensions work on the same theory, tell them you are going back for 2 years just to claim your OZ pension and you lose it when you leave. You have to intend to live the rest of your life in Australia to get it.
  9. You can access WISE from more than one phone, and your PC, I currently have it on 3 mobiles.
  10. Those votes, weren't in previous elections either, so did 14M people who never voted before 2020 decide this 2024 election wasn't so important?
  11. Why do you need a physical WISE card when the app allows you to make two virtual cards?
  12. Landlord, tell them you'll move once you have your deposit back. Address, nobody in Thailand ever notifies anyone of address changes, so don't bother.
  13. Just say no, and make stuff as difficult for them as possible.
  14. Even worse if I suggested COVID vaccine didn't work, masks didn't work, and lockins at home didn't work. Not to mention climate change, sea level rise or carbon dioxide. I'm not suggesting that of course, because I fear the reaction.
  15. I'd like to tell you, but then I'd be saying it, which is a worse offence than thinking it.
  16. Looks good, I'll watch that .........
  17. I assumed they're dumping their stock in case it becomes worthless on Jan 1st. Fear of new laws is endemic at the moment, I didn't buy a new car this year because they might have taxed me on the transfer of money. And the Thai car industry is crashing (so other expats must be also fearing the law). And wanting my UK bank details, I'll be in the Philippines before I agree to that, Which'll be another Thai bank house foreclosure, a single mom and a fatherless kid. The Thai government seem hell bent on economic suicide at the moment.
  18. Note the names of all the people being obstructive. Dismiss them after the transfer of power, with no references. Make sure they never work in the USA again!
  19. Enjoying my 5bh/g weed, all the talk of new laws just lowered the price.
  20. TL:DR Has fredwiggy got himself a new account?
  21. Not that worried about paying tax in Thailand. More worried about Thailand telling my UK bank I live here, and my UK bank closing my account. Debanking is real for those of us from the UK.
  22. Ask for a menu, once on their LINE mailing list they post their updates to you every day or two.
  23. FS High on LINE, they are now my preferred supplier, fast COD delivery by Thai post office. https://liff.line.me/1645278921-kWRPP32q/?accountId=fh420 Quite a large selection of bud from 25bht down to 5bht. But they run out of each item fairly quickly, so you need to take a bit of a chance. GMO cookies is ChemDawg + Girl Scout cookies, so how bad could it have been?
  24. Easy, my wife can open an account for me to use. Or I'll just start using one of her many existing accounts.
  25. Here's what it looks like in my hand, there are some seeds. The ad photo and the reality match surprisingly well.
