What did these men think would happen when marrying a low educated farm girl/bar girl?
I could not agee with you more. Trying to have an intellectual conversation is like sticking
pins in oneself
Used to think it was more to do with the language barrier and would get better. One young little sprog later, too late
For a lot of people here its not an issue, their either just looking for companionship or on the same level
That said, for me, nothing can compare to the love of a child and you certainly won't be lonely (not for the next 16 years anyway)
Fully understand the reasons for people who say rent but as someone has already implied, the grass is always greener on the other side.

Just direct from Halifax Uk using swift. And it arrives FTT
Transferwise has already stated they cannot guarantee the FTT code
Many posters have recieved both
So on the basis that yourself and a few other people have recieved the FTT code we are supposed to think everything is OK?
Are you prepared to risk your extension when you suddenly realise they haven't been coming through this way for a few months and the ensuing panic to try and sort it out

No, Article 44 was there so you could have everything your own way.
Very little, if anything, has changed with "your version" of civilian rule, and, one way or another, your days at the helm are numbered.
Not unless the senate get disolved where he holds absolute power
He probably, now holds more power than before as he has the will of the senate to warrant any decision he makes.

So where do you think this funding is going to come from?
If it was that easy would you not think they would of done it
Every government party robs peter to pay paul
As the population increases more funding is required
Our population is growing faster than we as a country can cope with
Put together with a longer living population, requiring greater health care and with fewer workers to pay for that heath care
Although they may not be seen as the problem, they are, a contributing factor

Sorry no
I think the statement is obvioius and feel no need to get into a to and fro debate with someone seemingly as narrow minded as yourself (no offence intended)

350,000 new migrants + entering the country every year
More babies being born by migrants than uk nationals in many parts of the country
So in ten years time around another 4 million + non nationals to cripple an already failing NHS, schools, housing
Damage to the country is nothing compared to what it would of been for our children
As someone has already said remainers all seem to have a personal reason for their decision with no real thought to the consequences in the future

You have to ask yourself the question why did you take them to court? For your money right. So let the lawyer deal with it
Are you not reading his post or just picking out bits you want to
The cost of the lawyer will eat up any returns he will see, or more

TW is not to blame, they always have said from the start that the last leg of the transfer is domestic.
Not so sure that statement is correct
Why were Bangkok banks statements always identified as FTT, until now ?
Bangkok bank has declared that it not due to them
Transferwise has admitted they have changed the way they are doing things now (we have not been told what has changed)
I can only assume they did not have enough liquidity within Thailand until now
Now they state, as always, it is to save us money. This is not about saving us money but about them making more money
i transfer 1 million baht plus and i suspect most people do close to this, so the sums involved will equate to millions, whether dollars, pounds or any other currency

Could it be this?
Yes that is it is but if you click on it, it shows a list of other banks that it transfers from
Definitely not what we all want to see as it specifies an internal transfer not an international transfer
This could be a big problem for many of us that need to prove an international transfer for our extension

This is what happens when when you promise more positions than are available to ensure your victory

1 hour ago, welovesundaysatspace said:What’s your point? It doesn’t matter whether your put it in percentages or absolute values; it doesn’t change the fact that, in the event of a no-deal Brexit, the UK is about to put at risk half of its market, the EU only about 7% of its market.
No it does not change the fact that the UK is about to risk half of its market although that is a matter of opinion but in certain aspects i could concur
The point is, which also incorporates all your points is that you are using the EU as a collective. Separately countries within the EU even if only losing 8% of their export market, will have a devastating effect on their economy
Germany exports 14- 18% of its cars to the UK as an example. It does not matter that it may only constitute 0.5 % of its exports, its the damage to the German car industry
Therefore quoting statistical figures can sometimes (sometimes) be misleading or give a false opinion
I understand your trying to impress a point but we can source their products from elsewhere they cannot sell their product to anyone else, thus they rely on us more than them
You could say it goes both ways but not on the present strength of the pound, exports cheaper. Why would they not want to buy from us?
I don't say whether you are right or wrong as only time can tell. Speak to 10 economist/politicians and they will all have a different opinion as we have all seen
The argument is and always has been will those countries wish/have to trade with us.
It is going to take many many years to recover if we ever fully do and i believe if possible we should leave with a deal . However it is my belief, the repercussions of staying in, over the long term, will be a lot worse for reasons i have mentioned in another post

My search was regarding a certain statement that was supposed to of been made of which there is no proof whatsoever
It has nothing to do with an article that was never published
Try to read a post properly before replying to it with a somewhat sad and sarcastic comment

16 hours ago, AlexRich said:Scotland will be more than happy to do one, as will Northern Ireland
Scotland yes, Northern Ireland i don't think so
I got to know quite a few people from Northern Ireland quite a few years ago and was quite shocked at their desire to be part of the UK instead of a united Ireland
Truth is, if it were not for the Irish back stop the deal would of already of been passed in Parliament
Brussels will except nothing more than a hard border of which we cannot have unless we want a return of the IRA (trust me they are still active)
If we leave without a deal there will be no hard border but the EU must then tell Ireland to put one in place, which they will refuse
So one way or the other there will be no hard border yet still Brussels refuse to budge on this point
It seems to me that Brussels are doing everything they can to twist the knife whilst also giving credence to the fact that, maybe, we do need to be in control of our own decisions

What you should do is go to your bank and ask them for an explanation and emphasize why you need said explanation. Additionally you can ask them to provide you with a letter of explanation (or a Credit Advise at the bare minimum) for immigration purposes.
A reply from you on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Not in a position to at the moment as i'm in the UK and will be for a while
I use the 800k so does not affect me but have been considering changing to a dependant visa/extension
Ultimately it could affect me in the future. I will do as you have suggested but cannot at this time

I set the account up originally to pay into my KBank single account but because I couldn't see any FTT details I opened an account at BBL
My latest transfer, only today to Bangkok bank, shows as interbank transfer via smart
No longer FTT
Don't know where that will leave everyone?

On 6/26/2019 at 5:04 PM, welovesundaysatspace said:1) Almost half of all UK exports go to the EU.
2) Only 7% of all EU exports go to the UK.
Who relies on whom?
I would not argue against your statement but it could be put in another way
The 7% of EU exports to the UK is far greater than the UK percentage(50%) exports to the EU
In essence the same statement
EU exports are country driven and will have a much larger effect upon individual countries within the EU, If we source products from countries outside the EU
Suddenly the onus changes on who relies on who
Statistical information can always be twisted to support one way or the other
Please ! i don't want to get into some mega argument of who is right or wrong as i feel that many people here will only look to the negative side due to the value of the pound
Is it in our interest to leave on a deal, yes
Did the UK have to leave the EU, yes ( in order to stop the unsustainable migration/ please note i say migration not immigrants who are needed but can be controlled)
Idiots in Brussels forced us into this position and now idiots in the House of Parliament(all parties) are escalating the problem for their own agenda, regardless of the cost to the country

7 hours ago, GeorgeCross said:please feel free to provide some stats yourself as a counter argument to his "outlandish statement" (if you can find any..)
I do not need to provide any stats as do many others who live both in the UK and Thailand
I own and rent 2 houses in the UK and always like to keep abreast of the market situation.
To rent a one bedroom flat in the south of England (the north is cheaper) will cost a minimum of 19,000 baht a month a 3 bed house 32,000 baht regardless of condition.
London !!, do not even go there, that price is per week (have a friend who owns 3) Obviously cheaper the further you move away
Add to this a monthly charge for council tax of 5,000+ baht and a high cost of electric versus Thailand
I have always maintained that you need to allow 10,000+ baht for all utilities gas, electric, water, tv licence, council tax, insurance etc but this is the minimum
If you are going to rent a nice studio in thailand for 15,000 baht per month or mediocre house (ie: Pattaya) while eating moderately,then Thailand is still the cheaper option (especially if you own your condo or house)
However if your expectations are grander then the difference starts to diminish
The big difference is quality of life.
In the UK, especially for people returning, they will be virtually isolated, as apposed to an active social life in Thailand
I have always said that Thailand is as cheap or expensive as you want to make it. What aspects of life do you deem important?

One thing to note about Transferwise is that they raised their fee between this transfer and the prior one. For about the same US$ transfer amount, the fee increased from US$18.73 to US$22.60.
In the UK the fee also went up 3 pence per £250. I don't think anyone is going to get too worried about it

It was with precisely this risk in mind that I ceased using TransferWise for my monthly 65k transfers to my BKKB account
My transferwise transfers always show as overseas transfer (bangkok Bank) , it is only other banks that do not show this
Apparently you can contact the bank to change it, if it does not, not sure of the procedure.

I don't know where you have got this information or maybe it is just applies to medical professions
I come from a 2 university city (1 new -college gaining university status in the last 7 years) and only finished a degree course 8 years ago
Universities are big business, the money to be made is extrodinary 12 halls of residences built and whole areas of the city now occuppied by students in those 7 years
Not only do they get the cost from students they also get grants from the government, for a 4 year course £500 year 1 £350 £250 £175 in latter years
Lecturers would basically give you the questions to the exams so you would be prepared (and the answers in some cases). As one lecturer told me, it's all about bums on seats
Yes of course there are foriegn students (mainly chinese i would say) but the idea that they rely on them is preposterous (but a huge source of income)
overseas students are a very small minority but growing by the year from my observations
