On that basis, it's a competition between the Chinese, Muslims and possibly Indians.

I've managed 5 so far, I think I'm keeping up.

So many anti-life posters.

Young women giving birth is entirely natural, most Thais finish education at age 12 or 15 so why not?

I was thinking of the occasional "bar raid" where they ask everyone for ID.

They usually only care about Thais, any elderly foreigners are just shown the door.

Lets play a game of spot the difference 

You go first , can you spot any differences between your swastika and this Nazi swastika ?

Nope, I've had enough of you, on my ignore list.

OK, post an image up of a ancient swastika that is identical to the Adolf Hitler designed Nazi swastika  .   

(exactly the same, not similar )

Here's another, early 1900s (Hitler would have been about 5 years old if he designed this), and a Xmas card from the same time.

Subways very nice now n then,but how someone older can eat those Toasty Cheese things from 7/11 il never know. I could eat one when i was at School, id eat a scabby dog back then.! 

Subways are just nasty, but I quite like the 7-11 toasties.

In Cambodia fresh warm bread is served with almost every order in a restaurant, and it's really nice.

In Laos and Vietnam I didn't find the bread to be very good either.

How can they use an ATM card without the PIN?

You can buy stuff in shops, no pin required.

All help would be gratefully received

She'll need to ask UK immigration.

I thought caring for a sick/disabled spouse was a reason for extension in the UK.

Yes and no. I've had a miserable marriage for 28 years. On the other hand, I've achieved more when I was working than the majority of people, and travelled to many countries on the company dime. I have a son who has become a rock of support.

Right now, I am living a life in Thailand that men of my age in my home country can only dream of.

Metoo, and Metoo.

But I've lost several pals along the way, one died age 50 from cancer, one went home with bone cancer, and another pal is dying with AIDs. None of them lived better or worse lives than me, all were younger, you just gotta be lucky.

and the supermarket price suggests to my non-farming but ex-accountant's mind that there would be money in it if they grew successfully.

Probably not as they usually sell in my local market for 30-35bht/kg

Only time I see Imm' is for a 60 day extension to make the multi O last 17 months.

You also encounter immigration every time you exit and enter the country.

OK by air, not so OK by land even with a non-o.

The Tory party killed off the nationslised coal industry because they did not want to subsidise loss making pits.

There was me thinking it was because Maggie Thatcher wanted to destroy the miners union.

if you feel the urge to show everyone how superior you think you are to old people who may be a little short of the monthly funds immigration wants deposited in a Thai bank,

I may be a little short of the 65k the immigration officer wants to see, but that 65k is probably double his wage (before the agents pay him his cut).
