    As a Marxist radical, I can definitely state, none of the people you mention want women to be property and land to be redistributed. In fact the closest politically to me appears to be the Taliban.

    Not worth paying any extra NI if you're already near the maximum of £220/week. Which is probably why they wrote and said you can't pay any more.

    Years before the new pension don't get you anything! Only the 8 years 2016-2023 can increase your pension entitlement. But obviously not get you more than the maximum new pension. I've edited the numbers in my previous post to reflect recent increases in the new pension

    It's been 8 years since the new pension, each year costs around £1,000, adding £6/week for each year you pay, so for £8,000 you can buy an extra £ 50 pounds a week, or £2,000 pounds a year, getting you 8k back in 4 (ish) years. Or viewing it as an investment, a return of 20% a year. Obviously adding extra years won't get you more than the maximum new pension.

    4 months before pension date, I phoned up using Skype (3 calls to 2 departments). Confirmed that only voluntary payments for missing years after 2015 made any difference, confirmed which 3 years maxed out my pension, got the payment code, paid by UK bank transfer, phoned back 10 days later to get a manual pension update. Pension paid on time. It all worked flawlessly!

    I always liked the breakfast in Murphy's Irish Pub, and then we used to drink all afternoon at a restaurant on the pier near Murphy's Irish bar. This photo of the (Sea Side) restaurant overlooking a small fishing harbour (just around the corner of the beach from the Hilton). Evenings were spent at BintaBaht for the early happy hours, then a walk to the many small bars in Soi 80.

    Computer say NO.

    Took me 45 years of full NI contributions to make my full pension. 3 of which I had to purchase at the end, because of 'contracting out' reducing my entitlement.

    The best English breakfast sausages I've found in Thailand are Prime Breakfast Thin. 169bht for 500gm (12 sausages). I'm buying them from Green's in Chiang Mai (free delivery to CM on 1,000bht order). If you want large sausages, the Prime Olde English sausages 169bht for 500gm (5 sausages) are just as good.

    The new world order told the western governments to lower interest rates, they did, their currency value dropped.
  11. BritManToo
    Pound drop was to do with Labour lowering interest rates, nothing else.
  12. BritManToo
    Always!

    Don't think I've ever stayed anywhere with a service charge.
  14. BritManToo
    If there's a service charge I don't eat there. It's up to the employer to pay a living wage for their staff, it's not my job to make up the difference.
  15. BritManToo
    Or even worse ........ 'what's that guy doing in the women's toilets (or the nurses changing rooms)'
  16. BritManToo
    Still no mention of what she did though. I can't even work out what a 'gender-critical' offense could be. Edit OK, I've found it, it's believing men are men, and should use the men's toilets, even if they choose to wear a dress to work. Sometimes called 'transphobic'.

    No British immigrants here, we're all non immigrants. And if the UK was to offer me free housing and spending money, I'd go back in a flash. But I'm White/Christian/British so there's nothing for me (that I can afford) in the UK. And my wife isn't the right flavour of non-white, so they don't want her either.
  18. BritManToo
    There is no deep division in society. The government wants the immigrants, and the people don't want them.
  19. BritManToo
    Nah, they don't charge shoplifters for under £500 theft these days.
  20. BritManToo
    It's everywhere but you need to search 'the kingdom 2007' YiFy and 1337x both have it.
  21. BritManToo
    No emergency meetings to discuss immigrants killing children then? Guess the new Labour government doesn't care that much about stabbed children. Or pensioners freezing to death in the winter.
  22. BritManToo
    Damn it, but I have to agree with you. Only people that never interact with the police like/approve of them.
  23. BritManToo
    Any protest that forcefully disrupts the lives of others is an act of violence. If they want peaceful, they should stand in a field with their signs.
  24. BritManToo
    I'm more concerned about reality than woke fantasy.
  25. BritManToo
    Nah, it's never women wanting to be men that causes any problems. And transgender means surgery, if you still have a penis and balls, you ain't transgender.
