Let's see the court decision letter! But we all know there wasn't one.

Frozen pension policy turns British expat's dream into a nightmare
British state pension is currently 12,000 pounds a year. I'm happy enough with that.

Thinking of buying Hard Disc storage - potential price increases/shortages
I paid 7000bht for the Synology ds233j 2 bay Nas earlier this year. It uses 10W so it's left on 24/7, no need to conserve power.

Battery pack, fire detection and management?
Would point out Lithium fires are hot enough to burn through concrete and steel. Best to keep your batteries in a shed outside the home.

Have you called the cops?
The police visit our 'red box' 3x a day.

Frozen pension policy turns British expat's dream into a nightmare
They take my word that I still live in England without any documentation. So why wouldn't they believe I was living in the Philippines without any documentation? As for looking at passport stamps, I always tell everyone I don't have a passport. There's no requirement for Brit citizens living in the UK to have a passport.

UN Report Warns Of Asia's Increasing Climate Crisis
I'm looking forward to the day when I can buy some cheap seafront property. I don't need a mortgage or insurance, just a cheap place to live.

DWP in the UK new powers from January 2025
I have no foreign payments leaving my UK bank account or debit card. If I had such payments my UK bank would cancel my bank account.

I don't use raid, I just keep a second Nas in a different place with the same files on it.

The pandemic cost 7 million lives, but talks to prevent a repeat stall
I had the original COVID, it was no worse than the flu. I had double vaccination, it didn't appear to have any adverse effects. I had COVID again, it was no worse than the flu. The vaccine made no difference to my body as far as I can tell, it appears to me to be worthless, so I won't be having another COVID vaccine. I have no problems with you all participating in medical trials by big pharma, that's your personal choice, but you won't convince me or shame me into participating a second time.

You just buy a Synology NAS and treat it as a single drive. My 2 bay Synology ds233j can take 2x 22TB hds internally, and another 2 USB drives externally. They also make 4 bay models. No need to even turn your computer on as it can download torrents, and play to your smart TV on it's own

What Movies or TV shows are you watching (2024)
The Red King, entire season just out. Remake of The Wicker Man with a female police sergeant of Indian descent in the lead role. Not to mention the lady of the manor is black and the retired policeman has a mail order Thai bride. Surprisingly good with a bit of tongue in cheek wokeness, decent acting, and well written. Beautiful scenery and photography. Well worth a watch.

Car tax ticket & car tax itself
As far as I know DUI is the only motoring offense that will get you deported ..... and then only if you're not on a marriage extension. No D/L, no insurance, no tax, no helmet, speeding ....... small fine.

Movies, TV series, books, music. Come teotwawki (assuming I survive) I'll still have lots of entertainment.

I Love Ukraine.
2 and they were both hookers. Nice enough but always on the scrounge for help with this and that. TBH I wouldn't have known they weren't Russian, if they hadn't said.

I think you missed the point of the discussion, maybe you should read the posts before replying.

How to retire in Thailand
I have a perfectly happy old age on the money I have, quite frankly I don't know how so many foreigners spend so much money in Thailand.
