My pensions aren't frozen at all, looking forward to a 10.1% rise in April.

I'd put my top 3 as Fight Club, American Beauty and The Unforgiven. I can't rate the movies I've never seen, as I've never seen them.

My house in CM cost 1.8Mbht, 300k up front, monthly repayments over 27 years of 11kbht. The houses currently rent for 9-10kbht/month. If I'd rented I'd have 300kbht in my pocket and save 1kbht/month in payments. I see no advantage in owning, renting is cheaper and it's easier to move. Why do you want to buy?

Someone pointed this out to me previously, UK makes nothing so it's currency is worthless. My reply was, Spain and Portugal grow most of the food for Europe, yet are the worst off financially (PIIGS). USA also makes nothing but rules the world and it's currency is king. China make almost everything for the world but is a financial basket case. So your theory that manufacturing/production makes a country rich appears to fall at the first fence.

Wai-ing is a feudal acknowledgement of a master/servant status. If you don't want to be master or servant you should avoid doing it at all.

I threw my mil out of our home. Nasty bit of work, she thought it was OK to order everyone around and shout and hit our children.

Two possibilities ............ 1. They like the violence and are excited by it or 2. They are lying about the beatings.

Not seen that, all the foreigners I've encountered appear to be on the same social level as Thai farm girls. Me too!

Me, my woman, and our kids have had COVID 2-3x Before vaccination, after 1 vaccination, after 2nd vaccination. The first time we coughed for a bit longer than the next 2x, apart from that no detectable difference. Our only COVID panic was after our daughter (age22) was rushed to hospital after the 1st vaccination. We must have been lucky and caught the non-dangerous Chinese COVID. God knows the harm we would have suffered if we had caught the dangerous farang COVID.

Chinese COVID = good Farang COVID = bad Do I see anti-white people propaganda here?

Did he forget most people have had COVID 2-3x already despite the masks and vaccinations?

I always bet on Thai women using a knife (or machete), because even in trivial arguments that's what they do. Surely I'm not the only guy on this forum who's had a woman pull a knife on him over nothing?

Of course, women always tell the complete truth. For all we know he was completely innocent of any wrongdoing.

Rocks around waterfalls are slippery and dangerous. This sort of accident is easily avoided.

Surely they know 100% of the votes before the election even happens.

In order to trust published figures, you'd first need to trust the Thai government and the Thai banking system. How did that work out for you in the last Thai currency crash?

I never had any problems walking anywhere in PI after dark. Would also say PI beaches are better than Thai beaches, cleaner, better sand, no sand flies, less beach hawkers..

What I imagine is usually better than most people's proof.

It's actually normal, if you look at the top 20 richest people, they're never in that top 20 for long. An it's not as if he ever ha that much money in the bank. When you own a lot of shares in 1 company, trying to cash them in would usually cause a rapid drop in their value. If I had a billion $$$s in the bank, I wouldn't even bother investing in anything.

Not required when changing address.

first 25 scans/month included in the 120gbp year fee.

The 120GBP UK street address + $90 London landline + 10GBP GiffGaff SIM add up to less than my winter fuel payment. So IMHO it's worthwhile.

If you buy a street address in Poole they won't know it's a mailing address. Good for HMRC, DWP and banks, costs around 120GBP/year.

I would assume the Thai Baht is failing big time, and the BoT is propping it up. Will be fun to watch when the BoT run out of foreign currency reserves. For those claiming Thailand has an amazingly successful economy ....... 1st Military governments usually have failing economies and failing currencies. 2nd All the manufacturing has either moved out, or is planning to move out. 3rd That latest COVID vaccine game must have done some damage.
