  1. He said " Stay oorf they dangerous combine 'arvesters" O'ive got a brand new one and Oi'll give you the key"… ????
  2. Before I switched to Wise (to Kasikorn)I would frequently also get a charge deducted en route by an intermediary bank using SWIFT . That never happens with Wise and never had a payment delayed by more than 2/3 hours. Also you can print off the transfer documents from their App to prove the payment is international transfer to immigration. There’s also an option on Wise to be redirected to your bank app to approve the payment immediately which afterwards returns you to the Wise app. There’s then no delay matching any manual payment you make from your bank. Seamless and 95% of the time the transfer is in seconds.
  3. I’m just sipping on that same brand of whisky I bought yesterday for a bargain price,but now my new Patek Phillipe saying time for bed,so just slip off my air Jordan’s and up the wooden hill to Bedfordshire… Anyone seen my sunglasses….? ????
  4. That you’ve enabled the dog to elevate its perceived standing by allowing it to sit on the furniture as an equal to humans illustrates a lack of understanding in a fundamental of dog training. Does it share your bed too? ????‍♂️
  5. Although tragic ,there’s still a frisson of Schadenfreude that an owner who negligently enabled the previous biting of 10 people without effective counter measures has now had a taste of his own (fatal) medicine. There's no such thing as Karma,but were there to be….
  6. It sure is a changed place since I popped out of the Womb. And mostly, not for the better. Think you’ll find atrocities of such nature (and worse) have been going on since human evolution- the animal kingdom too is pretty raw in tooth and claw - . Global communications mean that you get to hear more of it and much sooner to. Nostalgia ain’t what it used to be,eh ..?
  7. and they'll play a sad song on a violin for him Don’t harp on about it or you’ll be called a lyre ..
  8. Didn’t Ferrari Joe say something like that about his plastic bags… ☠️
  9. You do understand what the major role of the IMF is ,beyond forecasting (the clue is in the name) ? So in that crucial,fundamental major role of IMF discerning who gets loans and other payments Lagarde was so deficient that she was found guilty of negligence (not simply poor judgement) by a French court ,which in itself can carry criminal censure. Now if you don’t think such a major shortfall in her fundamental role as head of the organization doesn’t call into question her judgement,then you are setting the bar extremely low.
  10. I’d be concerned about them NOT taking down my "particulars" ! ????
  11. Ah,so my mentioning a significant change to corporation tax ,with all the implications that has,is ‘deflection' while Brexit ,which you simply randomly threw in without any quantification simply as a sound byte. The topic is the economic forecast of IMF,and you only imply corporation tax is ‘deflection' because I suggest you were likely unaware of the details and understanding of its implications. You also just keep falling back on ‘personal attacks' accusation simply because I’m exposing flaws in your wider understanding evidenced by the shallowness of nothing more than a simple and unsubstantiated repetition of such accusation.
  12. So how might one get a conviction for "being a bad economist" ? But being found guilty of making inappropriate payments (on more than one occasion) to a third party rather calls into question one’s judgement (at the very least!) wouldn’t you agree? But I’m interested in your views of what Sunak's forthcoming increase from 19 to 25% corporation tax will have on FDI and consequently UK productivity if you have any interesting thoughts to spare..?
  13. So presumably this officer considers nicotine patches as cigarettes…? Not really the brightest,are they ? ????‍♂️
  14. Yes,oh wait…what was Christine Lagarde convicted of…?
  15. Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? ' ('Who watches the watchmen? ')
  16. In keeping with the article,most here have accurately assessed this is a symptom of a far deeper /wider issue and these are the sacrificial lambs. No,they don’t deserve sympathy,but more so than those pulling the strings who remain immune. There is a small victory in that all will be a little less comfortable knowing that social media can provide an illuminating spotlight and damage the country’s tourist industry. It might just be a very small step on a journey out of the morass of endemic corruption,although many ,many more will be required to make a difference. So maybe a small celebration of this is in order,with certain parties now aware they cannot be quite so complacent that they are untouchable.
  17. None so blind as those that will not see.
  18. For which I’m eternally grateful! ???? ????
  19. Yes,it’s good and if you simply hold the camera over the Text with app open it overlays the Thai with English. No need for screenshot and can move the lens about all over the document
  20. No,just strait forward observation .
  21. Because you have failed to see/understand the argument running through the thread it is rather the shortcoming in your comment,not mine.
  22. Exactly,I think Chomper's view is very one dimensional,seeing only the aspect through the prism of the stale political left wing narrative he is obsessed with .
  23. "You’ll always find me in the kitchen at parties" ????
