  1. OK. I'll come round your house and piss on your shoes. PM your address
  2. 1. Taking shoes off before entering the house then after entering the house, picking something up off a dirty floor and putting it on a food preparation surface. 2. Leaving shoes in front of the door. Not just to the left of the door. Not just to the right of the door. Must be left where they can do maximum damage.
  3. Thank Buddha this madness is coming to an end. Male and Female are categories in a biological classification system of organisms that reproduce sexually. Men and women are separated in sport for biological reasons. If a man wants to disable himself by taking hormones then create a category in the Special Olympics, or they can compete in the mens' category. Intersex people, the vast majority of whom are male and female, should compete in the category dictated by their sex chromosomes. There is only one type of intersex condition (Swyer's Syndrome) where someone has a Y chromosome but does not go through male puberty. Sorry but we should not change the world for 0.0013% of the population. 🤔
  4. Age old movement. The lord of the manner gets to feel morally superior by giving the beggar a slice of the servants' loaf.
  5. Came across these two which I can't believe I missed. Big fan of Crocodile Dundee when I was a kid 😂 This one very much in the style of the first two. A few good un-PC jokes. Breath of fresh air. This one's a bit cringe. Only for the die hard fans. Could only find it on FlixHQ. All torrents are dead for some reason.
  6. Showing your lack of knowledge there, old man. Noel is famously the clean living one. He's not his brother's keeper.
  7. Great stuff. Now, if you get an e-visa, there'll be absolutely nothing added to your passport. 😇
  8. Incompetence and / or lack of training is no excuse. If someone has met the requirements to be issued with the visa, and is legally using it, then they shouldn't be asked such questions upon entry.
  9. ...and the prize for worst mis-reading of the room goes to... They might have got away with it a few years ago but times are changing.
  10. ...and when you go to a shop to buy a TV, pay them ฿4000+ for the privilege of giving them your custom. After that, you can buy as many TVs as you want. 🤔
  11. I agree with above that it's not a good time for your plan. You'll be OK for the first 1-2 months but returning is a major problem now. Firstly, the Cambodian borders are closed so there's no quick, easy land border runs available. Secondly, if you fly back in you'll have a high risk of being denied entry. This is because corrupt officials at the airports benefit from a 'safe entry' scam, which costs ฿5000+, so gives them all the reasons they need to deny you entry. I spent 6 months here last year, as a tourist on VE, followed by 6 months back in the UK. Upon return, I was grilled at immigration about how long I was staying, what I was doing here (doh!) and told 'you can't keep doing this'. If you want my advice, enjoy your short stay in Thailand and never come back.
  12. Rent must be expensive in Somerset. The Local Housing Allowance for Teesside is £94.36 per week or about £400 a month. A decent 1 bedroom flat, not in the ghetto, costs £500+ a month. I didn't know about the utilities and broadband discount...have to look into that.
  13. To be expected as the zeitgeist shifts...the only colour that matters is green.
  14. Yes, generally more cracking down. Went to Laksi yesterday to extend my 60 day VE and there was yet another form to fill out. It's called STM11 and gives permission for immigration officers to 'carry out investigations' into the information given on the TM7. Incidentally, total chaos there. There were no STM2 or STM5 forms in the usual trays next to the TM7 forms. In fact there were no trays for them. Those forms were on the checking desks and I think people were filling them out there. Had to queue for 1.5 hours before lunch and half an hour after. Legs and back are aching like crazy today. 🤪
  15. Thanks. Is that the book or the TV show? I have the book.
  16. Casey Report is already out. Confirms what everyone has been saying for 20 years. The racially-motivated child gang rape genocide of under-aged white girls by Pakistani men in the town of Rotherham.
  17. Hi Simon, I recently spent 6 months back home, living with my parents. I was surprised how cheap, and high quality, food was but obviously I wasn't paying the bills which are extortionate. Some per month costs, conservative estimate: Council Tax = £130 Electricity / Gas = £110 Water = £40 TV Licence = £15 Broadband = £40 I assume you've done the online calculators so maybe your council tax will be reduced to £3 p/m? Will your rent exceed the cap and , if so, how much will you have to contribute? Are you entitled to (now reduced) PIP with your health condition? Will you receive enough Pension Credit for it to be a 'gateway' to other benefits like Winter Fuel Payment, Cold Weather Payments, free prescriptions, free eye tests, NHS dentist etc? I'm shocked that you weren't shocked by Blackpool...I was shocked by it 30 years ago 😂
  18. ...or sacrificed in their 1000s. Maybe it's time to have a chat with the Nigerian government. 🤔 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annual_Customs_of_Dahomey
  19. The chickens are coming home to roost now. No convenient land border hops for most, only a long expensive journey or flights plus bribe to corrupt officials. I think I'll contact the British Embassy and Home Office to tell them what's going on. I'll suggest that the permission of stay for UK visitor visas be reduced from 6 months to 2 for Thai tourists and they must pay £600 surcharge per entry.
  20. One of the two main Bangkok visa run companies has suspended its run. BBC reports flights to Siem Reap suspended too.
  21. Very low resolution understanding of the man. When he was an officer in India, his best friend was an Indian officer. When they both went to the British officers' mess together, and everyone told his friend to get out, he replied 'If he goes, I go' and went to sit with his friend in the Indian officers' mess. After he returned to the UK, he invited said same officer to spend christmas with him every year until he died. Does that sound like a racist to you? Enoch Powell was a highly intelligent, educated and articulate man. He was well versed in history and the politics of the time, namely the wars in Israel-Palestine and India-Pakistan and the civil rights movement in America. It was these things which led to his concerns about immigration. Now we are seeing the settler-colonialism of the UK (predominantly England) by Arab muslims who cluster in settlements / enclaves which, thanks to our electoral system, give them disproportionate electoral power. The power is effectively in the hands of the Imams, who instruct the men on how to vote, who in turn instruct their women and children; ironically, the patriarchy which we are supposed to despise. 🤔 Already we have local councillors elected on the 'Gaza ticket', who shout 'allahu akbar...free Palestine' as a war cry, a Pakistani mayor who cries 'I represent the people of Pakistan' to her constituents, people being prosecuted for burning the Koran and a law against 'Islamophobia' in the making.
  22. A straight line on a graph with a logarithmic scale...a new level of stupid 😂 The graph is useless without knowing the atmospheric concentration of CO2. Would you be surprised that, 50 million years ago, it was 1500-3500 ppm compared to the current 400 ppm? 🤔
  23. Like it or not, most of those protests have permits along with permissions / restrictions attached. They are allowed to use amplifying equipment but only on a set route and during specified hours.
