Ex-PMs have a large amount of public money available to spend (115,000 pounds/year for life). Foreign travel with the occasional speech is considered a legit way to use it. https://www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/article/explainer/former-prime-ministers-what-support-do-they-get-state#:~:text=The PDCA allows a former,prime minister as an individual.

But it reduces the opportunity of the bar to inflate the bill. Which is why they use a tab in the first place. Easy enough to stop, Make all business have CCTV pointed at customers. Then the police can work out the correct bill without any input from customer or business. No CCTV then the business is prohibited from operating.

He probably didn't fall either.

My youngest boy is 12 and I am 67. I wouldn't mind another 1 or 2. If its good enough for Bob DeNiro.......

Sounds to me like a golden opportunity to get a new younger one. The trick is never to part with your assets. Don't get me wrong, I love my woman. But I also loved the previous one, and I will love the next one.

If you're so great, why are you in Thailand (Land of easy women)?

Had 5 biological kids, cared for 2 that weren't mine. 4 biological kids ...... worthless ingrates 1 wasn't mine ....... total nightmare. 1 biological son is great, 1 daughter wasn't mine also great. Don't think DNA matters that much. If I had to choose just one out of the seven it'd probably be the daughter that wasn't mine.

Off topic, I cycle to a temple at the top of a hill 2x a week. The Monks always put a bag of food on the table while I'm trying to get my breath back. Tea, coffee, cold water all there for the taking if you wanted or needed it.

There are no local hunger issues. The temple will feed anyone.

Au Der Auf German buffet in CM is pretty good for 220bht.

Up to you!

POCO M3, Worst phone I ever bought, never worked properly since purchase. No support, many similar complaints online (wouldn't turn on after charging). Bricked after a OTA update (many other owners had the same problem). Chucked it in the bin. The only totally worthless phone I've ever owned.

I've received good care at NakornPing government Hospital ER. (on the road to Mae Rim)

..... a start.

Just spent 10kbht outfitting my 12yo for government school (inc. school 'extras').

My gut wants it though!

No law in Thailand is enforced properly. Not even the laws that matter.

The bank uses my savings to finance others mortgages. If I were still living in the UK, I'd have my money in a box under the bed. No point in anyone letting the banks use their savings any more. Would be interesting if everyone withdrew all their savings on the same day.

Generally, yes and yes. Took in a homeless 13yo girl last year, she was a total nightmare. I paid for everything, school, uniforms, books, clothes, food, pocket money. Constant stealing from us, lying to us, playing truant. The school informed us she hadn't attended enough days to move to the next year. Ended with her final day stealing our m/c and staying out all night to bang her bf. We put her on the bus to BKK to live with her mother. Her mother put her back on the bus as she didn't want her, but at least we were rid. I would have paid for her all the way through university if she had wanted.

If mortgage rates are 7.41%, why is my UK bank only paying me 0.5% on my savings?

Sell the pickup, send the 2 kids to government school. Spending beyond your means is foolish in any country.

Never came across an attractive one that didn't want the money.

100 stray dogs is a problem that needs someone to fix. In most civilised countries they would be caught and destroyed.

Almost every drug gang in Thailand. My misses was a member of a police controlled drug gang in BK from age 18+, who would she grass to?

Agree 100%, the guys that say different have either never had a LTR with a woman, or are living in denial. Although I have seen a few guys living in a sexless relationship where the woman pays a significant share of expenses. Briffault's Law The female of the species controls all access to sex, where she gains no benefit, he receives no sex.
