No, I've already been everywhere and done everything and it was great. Most of my pals have already died, and well before 60. Best to have everything done well before 60, when you're fit and able IMHO.

Another wine cooler .........

It's 18, and the police often catch and arrest underage youths sitting in bars with no drinks in front of them. Most bars near me have signs on the door 'under 20s not permitted to enter'. As for your awareness/ignorance of the laws ....... not my problem!

I'm planning to die!

I don't really care if my employees enjoy their work. None of my employers cared if I enjoyed working for them. Given a free choice, I'd never have worked even 1 day in my life.

Best sex I ever had was with women I paid the morning after. Worst sex I ever had was with a woman who married and said she loved me (not that there was much sex in that 30 year period).

Entering bars under the age of 18 would be the obvious one.

I would disagree, I don't expect (nor desire) to live to age 77. But I would like to choose where I die, which is not in a UK nursing home. No need to run up expensive medical bills, accept death when it comes. I don't 'self-insure' or have any insurance, and don't intend to pay for long term medical care. It's not required, at 66 I've already had my life.

No problems at all this year, apart from being a bit wet (currently places near the river are underwater). Plenty of places around for 1-2Mbht. Lots of 2 bed houses for rent at 5-7kbht. Better to rent IMHO.

Past experience tells me once in power they will forget all their promises, bow to corporate greed, and join America in wars against 3rd world countries. Renewable energy? Wind farms are ugly and cause noise pollution, the used blades all end up in landfill, and there's not much point in solar in the UK. The sensible option would be to build a load of nuclear power stations. But there's no party with any sense.

Bars don't have a choice, they let them in of have their bars burnt down.

The problem being there are no suitable candidates (or party) to run the UK. Labour are a total disaster, maybe even worse than the Tories.

I see inflation in the UK as a good thing. It pushes up my pension which I spend in Thailand.

So you're saying the government repaying a loan early is a bad thing?

I thought they bought 65M of Gilts? Which as far as I can see is just a government repaying a loan.

This made me money, was going to transfer 1200GBP on the 1st, but restricted to 650GBP @ 42.2 This aft I transferred the other 550GBP @ 42.7 So I profited by 275bht!

Pound now back to 42.7 ...... slightly higher than it was a month back. Maybe this thread should be closed now?

I assumed the limit would be on until the UK markets opened. 9am UK time, 5pm Thai time.

Small point, Do Oz know what mom's signature looks like?

Both parents needed to get a passport. So he will fail well before immigration.

I enjoy both! (and Cambodian and Vietnamese)

Why would I care if my long term hire objects to my short term hires? If she doesn't like it there are many more ladies available for long time hires! As for extra marital affairs, outside her working hours (dusk till dawn) she can do what she likes and go where she likes.

My largest outside 7ft+ plant (also from my local market) just turned out to be male. I cut it down, the misses collected the leaves for her cooking. The stem and balls went into a sealed bin bag for the dustman to collect.

Pay the money owing on the condition the property is immediately transferred to your wife, but he can live there for the rest of his life. Else walk away, it's not your business. That's what I did for my MiL playing the same game. Any of your wife's brothers/sisters don't need to know. Cost me 100kbht, my wife gained a property worth 500kbht.

And yet ........ guys are boasting about their new car/boat/house/motorcycle/watch when they haven't really done anything special either! And I've had a couple of friends that couldn't successfully hire a hooker in Thailand either (one from Oz, the other from the USA, both 50+yo normal looking virgins). Then another guy from NZ I was drinking with paid a girls barfine, chatted to her for 20 mins, then she handed him his barfine back and said she'd changed her mind. And another couple of times, I was in a bar with pals, a girl would approach me, I'd say I wasn't interested but one of my pals was, and they turned around and just walked off. We were all equal age, equally unattractive. Sometimes life/women just gets weird!
