HMRC sent you a life certificate? That's a first! Ok, I'm teasing you, you obviously mean DWP. Next time use registered mail. Just as reliable and a quarter of the cost. Switching to an on line procedure is under discussion by DWP. They are aware that they loose millions of pounds a year paying out pensions to dead folks around the world.

I doubt that it is your air conditioner that is lowering the dust reading by that amount. That's not what they're designed to do. However how high is your apartment above ground level? Pollution levels reduce with height and the readings are taken at or near ground level. That and the fact that you'll be keeping your windows closed probably accounts for the difference,

Now, now. steady on The very first sentence in the same wiki article that you're quoting from says: SSN is the US Navy hull classification symbol for such vessels. So my statement was not 'utter rubbish'. However as the term has been adopted for us by NATO and other countries I will concede that your use of it was correct. An interesting factoid from that same article is that the UK was the first ever country to use an SSN boat in hostile action, when HMS Conqueror sunk the Belgrano during the Falklands war. Following that engagement, not a single Argentinian naval vessel left port during the entire campaign, which does demonstrate the deterrent value of these subs. Little wonder the Yantar quickly departed UK waters.

Perhaps Google could help lead the charge into Thailand's use of Small Modular Reactors.

Just how far back do you wish humankind to to regress? Once again you are misinformed. (or guessing) 'Fusion on the other hand does not create any long-lived radioactive nuclear waste. A fusion reactor produces helium, which is an inert gas'. https://www.iaea.org/topics/energy/fusion/faqs#:~:text=Fusion on the other hand,its half life is short.

Write to them! Yes I do mean a good old fashioned snail mail letter to HMRC. I went through this same annoying issue about 11 years ago for 3 years and I finally cracked it by doing just that. It seems that only a letter will spur them into action. After 3 years of trying, they finally pegged my state pension at the original fixed value and they also paid back 3 years worth of tax over-payments. The problem has not reoccurred. I advised a guy last year on this forum to do the same and he acknowledged last August that he'd had a letter from them to say that the problem was finally resolved. He did acknowledge that it was 'hard work'. (I took that to mean a bit stressful)

Oh yes, I remember my Renault 6 well. It lugged me, the family, my diving kit and our camping gear all over Cyprus for 3 wonderful years.

AI's response to that is: 'Yes, while minimal compared to fission, fusion energy production would still generate some waste material, primarily in the form of activated components within the reactor due to neutron bombardment, which are considered low-level radioactive waste and pose a significantly lower risk than the high-level waste produced by fission reactors; the primary by product of a fusion reaction is helium, an inert gas, making fusion considered a very clean energy source overall'. Any improvement in the levels of pollution has to be welcome.

SSN is an American hull classification, not a British one.

No need for a 'shot across the bows'. (Astute class subs don't have deck guns anyway) Just showing themselves seem to have done the job. 'The skills and resilience of our submariners should be applauded. The Yantar, according to the Secretary of State, stopped what it was doing and scuttled off to the Mediterranean'. https://www.forcesnews.com/opinion/opinion-if-you-want-peace-prepare-war-uk-submarine-surfacing-near-russian-warship-warning?utm_source=Forces+Newsletter&utm_campaign=da74ff73e7-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2025_01_24_05_45&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_-da74ff73e7-441295500

ASEAN NOW negativity shining as brightly as ever.

Thanks. “Those who bring sunshine into the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves.” –J.M. Barrie. Try it sometime. Take care. 🙂

Quite possibly.

Sad but oh so predictable that the very first post is a negative comment like this. Two people who are happy together can infect other people around them with their happiness And the infection continues outward. Thus the world slowly becomes a better place for all. But it's slow, slow process and there are many grumpy old sods who will never understand that.

Many heterosexual couples marry and have children with disastrous consequences for the child!

Quite true, no qualifications necessary. But I was interested to know whether he was bringing anything new to the table. Some inside information maybe. My impression was 'no he was not' and the lack of a response from the O/P would seem to confirm that. Just the same old unqualified guess work.

Exactly what qualifies you to post this @SoCal1990? Where did you get your information from?

I'm pleased to see that at least one person has the guts to speak out in front of that misogynistic, homophobic nutjob. More power to her and her supporters.

I do not accept that I have 'missed the point' at all. Trump was using the gender word simply to mask the true meaning of his comment. The man is clearly homophobic. 'Trump has launched at least 225 attacks on LGBTQ+ rights since first becoming president'. https://www.thepinknews.com/2025/01/20/donald-trump-225-lgbtq-rights-attacks/

How can you possibly claim that it is not about sexuality? Sexuality is at the very heart of it. If this only about gender Trump would not even have needed to broach this subject. Trump is a bigoted homophobic. Nothing more, nothing less. At least he should get on well with Putin.

You obviously adhere to the same narrow minded and bigoted viewpoint that Trump does. Sexually is NOT just physical as any gay man or lesbian will tell you.

Sounds to me as if Wise AU is simply catching up with a system similar to that we've enjoyed in the UK for years. Instant transfers in followed by instant transfers out (to your Thai bank) Welcome to the 21st century.

COD is still available on Lazada. Certain suppliers won't accept it, but that's their decision, not Lazadas. But why use it anyways? COD is for Luddites who can't accept that the 21st century exists.

I've switched to using K-Plus QR code (via the app of course) with Lazada. Very easy and apparently refunds are instant if required.. (Haven't had cause to test that out yet)
