And there re also plenty of reports of Expats known by their bank to be living in Spain and France being debanked since Brexit. And a friend of a friend, living in Thailand was surprise debanked in the UK by a bank who knew he was living in Thailand earlier this year. First he knew, was when he lost access to his account, had to fly back to the UK to get his money put in a different bank. So you fill in the Thai forms, they contact your UK bank, and you then have the chance of losing your UK bank account. Gotta say, I'd rather risk non-compliance problems in Thailand than lose access to my UK bank account.

You really believe that? Funny how all those homeless guys are single then. And if you watch those US videos of the middle class people having to live in their cars after losing their jobs and homes, they all seem to be single too.

Off topic, Meanwhile back in the UK, the lefty Labour expert 'economist' running the UK finances appears to have lied on her CV and was only ever a bank helpline manager.

Not sure it's that ridiculous, unless you think the packed masses living in the city should have the right to tell the rural farmers and land owners what to do.

Yeah, but that happens to the legit overseas claimants as well, if you don't tell them you ever left the UK, no proof of life forms ever.

Yeah I agree, bad photo shaded by pink curtain, grass is green, tried it last night, as good as anything I've had. 1/2 a joint gets the job done, I'll post a better photo when the light is better.

Not sure why Biden would bother, as they weren't donating to his election campaign.

Lord Waheed is actually a great guy, I used to work for him and his boyfriend, Charlie Parsons. They used to throw the wildest and most amazing Xmas parties.

I've always been fairly wealthy, nobody in my family needed to work, not me, not any woman that lived with me. I did work after university, but I was just wasting my time, thinking back I'm not sure why I bothered.

New delivery from FS High, 50g GMO cookies at 5bht/g 299bht Inc delivery. Very strong smell, even the box stank unopened.

Language, didn't take me long to teach mine how to bring me a cold beer and make me a sandwich. Religion, invisible friends, she can have as many as she wants. Education, I fixed that by sending her to high school and then university, wasn't even expensive.

One did, one didn't! How about you, ever been divorced, or didn't anyone in you home country want you?

Same but my British wife disaster lasted 30y, and so far 15y joy with the Thai wife. Far more sex with the Thai wife, and obviously much smaller and prettier.

Brutal truth and honesty. Vs other mens Hopeless optimism, self delusion and fantasy. I prefer your (and mine) narrative. At least we ain't surprised and depressed when our 'fantasy' falls apart.

An employee is also with you for as long as you pay their wage (and they don't get a better offer). In other words, exactly the same as a wife, the only difference being entirely in your own imagination.

Not even one reading in HOC yet, then HOL, then back to HOC. So at least another 2 years before this MIGHT come into effect. I suspect Starmer will be gone well before then, so pure speculation on your part. PS. Nobody noticed I wasn't living in the UK last time I renewed my passport.

Kids, the more you give then, the less they like you! This is a worldwide truth!

My definition of a good wife, is one that is under 50Kg and will bang me when I feel like it. You'd need to state your definition of a good wife in order for me (or anyone else) to decide if they agree or disagreed with you. There's a lot of guys (probably you) that consider a good wife one that cooks, cleans and does their laundry with no requirement for good looks or sex.

Mine is a bit smaller than those I had access to in the west.

I revel in my shallowness!

I've got a 13yo ......... doubt I'll still be alive when he leaves the nest.

Not at all, I don't really give a poop what hot country I live in.

Why treat either option differently?

I claim your miracle!

Why try to convince your wife/gf of anything? As long as you get to bang her when you feel like it, nothing else matters. And if she won't bang you when you feel like it, time to move on. It's not as if there's a shortage of attractive Thai single moms looking for a meal!
