  1. What about all the innocent people dying? Isn't that bad? It is,but not in a way that has many practical negatives for the rest of us. There are quite a few not innocent people dying too…
  2. Wow! Lights AND music! /j Are you calling him a lyre…?
  3. It tells me that it is very significantly lower than in my U.K. and the rest of Europe.
  4. What were you saying during the pandemic when at one stage the oil price went negative and the energy companies lost billions? The same with airlines.You appear not to understand the economics of a volatile commodity industry where profitable times balance out the troughs of losses. Well yes it very much is the effects of the war which is behind the significant inflation "and stuff". You also have to explain how the preceding decade(s) of low inflation and interest rates fit into your theory….? ????
  5. Well I’d much rather be paying my energy bills here than on my house back in the U.K. (which I rent out) . The council tax alone is 12000 baht per month and the utility bills will be that again (plus 50%) ! ???? My tenants pay that…
  6. One thing to be mindful of is if doing your report circa 15 days before due date (assuming approved within 2 days) your next 90 day report is due from that date ,not 90 days from the original due date . Given the online reporting has worked seamlessly for me since the new website this effectively doesn’t matter so I always report the full 15 days beforehand to cover eventualities, so"loosing" 15 days each time.
  7. Yup,those are the ones I always use. Best price/quality combination. Made in Netherlands if I recall?
  8. "Till death do us part". At least they entered the spirit ???? of the occasion ! ????
  9. Did the girlfriend wait for him until he came out of jail? I’m desperate for a happy ending…
  10. If you’re getting those glitches within 2 years that doesn’t bode well for say 5-7years old when the likes of Toyota etc will not have experienced similar glitches within its first decade !
  11. That’s not a chat up line that’s worked terribly well for me in the past.. ????
  12. Do Let us know when you’ve found any to ask…
  13. Really they’ve not been around long enough to make proper assessments compared to say the bullet proof proven reliability of Toyota/Honda over decades. They certainly aren’t as well engineered as those brands and maybe uncertain resale values. For now I’d stick with those established Japanese brands many of which are still soldiering on over 10 years old. In U.K. my daughters 9 year old Yaris has only needed 3 wiper blades and sails through each MOT test. I reckon it’ll not be much different in another 9 years ! But here’s a survey https://www.carbuyer.co.uk/mg/zs/reliability#:~:text=MG ZS reliability,fault in the first year.
  14. Frankly it’s less hassle to keep that arrangement going (also future proofs against changes in their policy) and do all your bank business on line anyway. Even when getting new cards as long as you have the details you really don’t need the physical card. You can even load the details on the wallet in your phone for contactless payments if necessary.
  15. Perhaps he got "Murray head"….
  16. According to PISA educational tables so do an awful lot more !
  17. can do it with my brain. learned math the old school way. Being conversant with times tables and mental arithmetic is still a big advantage in conjunction with a calculator. It will help with spotting any keying errors as well as devising calculation short cuts. I can easily work out which is better value on different pack sizes /prices for example.
  18. Your partner knew nothing of Khmer Rouge? I suspect nor of Chianti and Cabernet Sauvignon. Wine isn’t a big thing here in Thailand…
  19. Really? I suspect you have little understanding of what these entail holistically. What did you study and what career did it lead to ? Just for clarity I studied Latin ,French and History to A level. The disciplines involved bestowed the mental capacity to grasp the economics of running a successful business of my own.
  20. Or they looked up Thailand’s ranking in the PISA EDUCATIONAL TABLES
  21. While your approach will certainly mitigate to a considerable extent your chances of an accident there still remains a considerable element of peril from the environment on the roads in Thailand . The RTA statistics don’t lie.
  22. You do understand that shareholders are primarily pension schemes,one of which is likely yours ? … of course you don’t ,you have no economic literacy at all… ????‍♂️
