I'd rather be dead than broke!

Biden wasn't on the ballot slips though. He may have won if he'd been on it. Instead they offered a woman that had slept her way (Willie Brown, 'are you his daughter?') to the ballot form.

I've never had a problem with buying Brit foods online at 30-50% off the shop prices. Ginger biscuits, digestives, fox's crunch creams, daily mee granola, Typhoo tea bags to name just a few.

I've never had any problems making friends in Thailand, either on the forum or in person. The biggest problem is them dying! Most of us are elderly and we only have a short time left. To make friends all you need to do is enjoy common activities together, hiking club, cycling club, eat at the same restaurant, drink at the same bar, and soon you'll have new friends. No need to rush things, start by smiling and saying hello as you pass, eventually you'll progress to a chat and seeing if you have things in common. I've even met up on holiday a couple of time with guys that shared pms with me on this forum. Then there's about 20 Thai retirees that I meet every day while out cycling, not really friends as we have no language in common, but we wave, smile and shout 'hello' when we pass, or have coffee at the same shop. If you want friends it's really up to you to get out there and make the effort!

You think there are only white British pensioners living in Thailand? Racist nonsense!

Completely accurate IMHO, the less you use your muscles, the weaker you get and the worse you feel. As someone nearly 69 I've been inactive, and it doesn't feel good, now I'm active and feel as healthy as I was at 45. I can't manage the physical excess that I could age 30, but gentle exercise every day is the answer to many health problems as you get older.

Agree, but I prefer my 25Km cycle (with a bit of electric assistance) that gets me out of the house meeting other cyclists, and seeing the local wildlife. I find exercise without travel, a bit of a chore. Like the OP said, you've got to keep moving!

Total BS, almost everything you post is deceptive or worthless. I remember the good old days when you were one of the greatest posters on this forum an POTY, but around 3 years back there was Yinn .......... how the mighty have fallen.

Thought it was quite amusing, and I've known several guys go exactly that way, all dead now (it was always the 10bht shots rice whiskey that got them). Best to realise in life nothing really matters except your money, so take care of it.

One could ask how many warnings have you received? But that would be off topic. Deliberately mixing state pension with means tested benefits isn't exactly honest. Especially as every link you post is about means tested benefits and not the state pension.

I feel sorry for you.

As non residents can't open new UK bank accounts, you won't be getting a pension either. Can you imagine the banks trying to process 13M new accounts for pensioners, many of whom can't even remember their own names? What complete and utter nonsense you're writing, get some help!

Not confident at all then!

If no letters are written to pension recipients on January 2025 will you promise never to post on this forum again? ........ or are you not that confident in your understanding (aka lying).

Yes, renaming it means starting the process again in the commons.

I've always had a standalone bank account in the UK for 'money laundering'. No need to open another one.

According to the link, still no action since 24 April 2024, so hard to see how they can start investigations (on means test benefits) in 6 weeks time. 1st reading in the commons, then house of Lords, 2nd reading in the commons ........ more like 2 years than 6 weeks.

Yep, @roo860 was right, more nonsense. Better I start a thread on 'online stalking' where you can really demonstrate your expertise.

It's unclear what entry/exit information the UK government currently record, but if you left the UK more than 5-10 years back they had nothing.

Only relevant to pensioners claiming means tested benefits. For those only claiming State Pension where no yearly information submissions are required, and your only claim is made at the start of your pension entitlement age, it's not relevant. It's also not relevant to those on means tested benefits that take all their pension out of their bank account every 4 weeks. If you pay cash for everything, there's not that much data on your monthly 'outgoings' for them to collect and examine. But I'd be interested in knowing what means tested benefits you claim, as it seems to be of great concern to you ....... I hope you're not on the fiddle!

And Biden would be Claudius!

Strange that such a 'high value' man would choose to mix with such 'losers'.

Only if he removed all the Obama judges first.

I wouldn't call 16 and up 'very young'.
