    I use the last UK address I lived at, I don't know the people that currently live there and nobody ever checked.

    4bht/gm doesn't seem expensive to me. My kids get 50bht per school day, they can easily afford cannabis. As for hospital admissions, I'd be more interested in the actual numbers of people admitted with serious problems, doubt there's be 10.

    Isn't this a Chinese problem?

    It's usually ladies accelerating when they intend to brake. Although I did see a Chinese couple rent a m/c and drive straight across the road, hit the kerb and flip themselves into the moat. It's not always drunks causing accidents!

    You're wrong! My pal toppled his m/c over in his driveway and broke his hip. 3rd party insurance paid his 40k(?) government hospital bill.

    The law in Thailand says if you want sex with a 13 year old, you have to marry her.

    Sounds to me you're just a bad loser. The people voted and your side lost, I call this democracy. Brexit happened, get over it.

    .... or for how long.

    Not legally unless they are married to them!

    Cameron was trying to save the Tory party from the Nigel Farage white supremacist movement. It gave the Conservatives another 8 years in power. But it was the UK voting population that voted for Brexit, not any political party, not any MPs. The MPs and political parties all wanted to stay and take their turns at the gigantic feeding trough which is the EU.

    Wot, cheaper than 400bht for 100gm?
  12. BritManToo
    It was the British voters that voted to leave the EU, not Tory MPs.

    The only MP that supported Brexit was the Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn. None of the Tories ever wanted to leave. And the current Labour leader has firmly stated Labour have no intention to rejoin.

    Women are traditionally expected to live in the country of their husbands. While the western world has recently broken with that tradition, the rest of the world hasn't. So if a foreign woman marries a Thai man she can get citizenship a year later, no hoops.

    My answer would be gunboats shooting and sinking all the foreign invaders. A different answer would be to invade and retake that bit of France that was traditionally English then stop people getting into boats.

    All irrelevant. For a country to work people must be able to make money from their investments/savings. Else you will end up in the current situation where everything is going broke. A house is a place to live, not an investment. My savings and pension are not a charity to provide for the government, illegal immigrants and the poor.

    I paid 17% interest on my mortgage in the late 1970s. Low interest rates are the problem, not the solution.
  18. BritManToo
    I thought she (and the song) were dull.
  19. BritManToo
    People expect to make a profit on their savings/investments. Interest rates should ALWAYS be higher than inflation. Currently in the UK inflation is 10.5%, so interest rates should be 12-15%.
  20. BritManToo
    It's really nobody's fault but their own. With the current low interest rates there's no point in saving or investing. The only people that win are those that borrow, and borrowing was always sold to me as a bad thing. Did anyone really get a 1% mortgage thinking it would stay that way forever?
  21. BritManToo
    Higher interest rates are a good thing. It discourages debt. For the world to work properly interest rates need to be at 5-10%. That makes savings/investments/pensions work.

    Why not just put 'lips' on the edges of normal solar panels so they can be used as roofing?
  23. BritManToo
    We'd need to know where you are. Every office has it's own rules.
  24. BritManToo
    You do if you're in Chiang Mai!

    Clones are also hormone treated.
