  1. The single market wasn't the problem for anyone. The problem was allowing the 3rd world countries of Europe to join, then enter the UK as cheap labour.
  2. I would suggest remainers were illogical because, 1. The UK has already left. 2. No political party wants to rejoin.
  3. Most Thais I've encountered eat nothing but veggies, and that includes the kids. Bags of greens from the market consumed every day.
  4. Never had any problems.
  5. Land borders, they won't let you out, if they think you intend to return but they are likely to refuse your return. Fly somewhere and you won't encounter that problem.
  6. I thought this was Asean Now? Just over a year old.
  7. Been really cool up here in CM this month. Really nice in the night/mornings.
  8. Only one of my parents/grandparents ever made 70. So I've always based my calculations on that. Back on topic, Budget was good for me, 10% pension rise and nothing negative.
  9. From that I've never had an STD, always UTIs.
  10. Penicillin is deadly to some people. Just because something doesn't work for you is no reason for everyone to avoid it.
  11. Can't imagine living 25 years into state retirement ....... 66 + 25 = 91. Even my pals back in England mostly die in their 60s. If I manage to make 70 (doubtful) inflation would have been trivial.
  12. Easily available at most pharmacies and recommended for UTIs. Moved from Cipro 500 @100bht to Norfloxstar 400 @80bht. STDs and UTIs are the same thing IMHO.
  13. I went through all the same problems, generally my PSA test result was 0.4 from age 63-65.
  14. Sensitive tendons in my ankles. Generally I have to stop exercising for a week while taking, and then another week after just to be safe.
  15. If I'd rented a council house my divorce wouldn't have cost me 600,000 pounds, and I wouldn't be homeless. If I could go back and do it again, I'd have rented. Back on topic, Does everyone else agree that 2014 was the pinnacle of UK living standards? Or does that assertion get a free pass?
  16. Weird assertion, I don't believe man on man sex happens outside the US justice system all that much. Didn't happen in the UK prisons, I have no experience of Oz prison, maybe you're like the Americans.
  17. No, I'm saying the large land owners (Crown, Aristocracy, RSPB, Nation Trust, Forestry Commission, Church, etc) should submit to redistribution, along with anyone owning more than 10M pounds in assets) I doubt you have enough to share with anyone.
  18. I don't know what's going to happen, and suspect nobody else does either. As long as I have enough money to live out the rest of my life in comfort (40kbht/month), nothing else really matters to me.
  19. I used to work for a company that employed a lot of wokes, they couldn't do any of the work required but they looked great on the 'affirmative action' statistics. At one point it was hard to get the work done, as there were too few people employed on their merits. Couldn't even use them to run errands as that would have upset them. They all got a generous salary, but they were hardly workers.
  20. I changed at 42.7 yesterday and was quite happy with that. Looking forward to my 10.1% pension increase now.
  21. I think a lot of them were employed to push the previous owners woke, anti-Trump agenda. Obviously Mr. Musk doesn't want them around any more.
  22. He's good at making money, does Twitter really need all that many staff? This IMHO is removing the chaff, and maybe an asset stripping exercise. Or maybe he's just bought it to close it in a revenge scenario for hurting his feelings.
