  1. 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.
  2. It was the British voters that voted to leave the EU, not Tory MPs.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. I paid 17% interest on my mortgage in the late 1970s. Low interest rates are the problem, not the solution.
  8. I thought she (and the song) were dull.
  9. 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%.
  10. 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?
  11. 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.
  12. Why not just put 'lips' on the edges of normal solar panels so they can be used as roofing?
  13. We'd need to know where you are. Every office has it's own rules.
  14. You do if you're in Chiang Mai!
  15. The guy I knew who did before age 40 would drink Lao Kao at breakfast, Then when drinking in a bar of an evening nip out for more shots of Lao Kao. Don't think it's possible to kill yourself with beer, not strong enough.
  16. Never liked the Xmas greed of my Brit kids. Gave it up in Thailand as my Thai kids never expected it.
  17. Assuming it wasn't a local resident objecting to the waves passing through their house and body.
  18. My last few years in the UK I had a Portuguese kid in my class (12yo), couldn't speak a word of English. A year later he spoke perfect English with a local accent. No special lessons.
  19. He's still upset about ww1, ww2 and Brexit. Back to the OP, Mental illness comes in many forms, mentioning god is a sure giveaway.
  20. My last bill was 386bht, mostly for my grow tent light (HLG 240 + Quantum board). @Eddie45 been growing in Thailand since COVID started. Before this year it was entirely in a tent, but this year I've moved my flowering outside, so far so good. The western plants don't like full sunlight, they just shrivel and die, so I have to keep them in 50% shade. So experimental veg and clone inside, flower outside at the moment. The plants are much bigger than the last grow tent crop, but will there be more flower?. I also have some Thai plants outside in full sun, so far they've grown big but I view them as a waste of my time. Too many males, too little flowering, and you don't know if the seeds are what they were claimed to be. Plants from western seeds ............2-3ft tall and flowering about 2 weeks.

  21. Or just not tell them you're living outside the UK.
