  1. "Does your girlfriend wrestle?" "No,but you should see her box.." ????
  2. When evaluating his statements do I evoke Hanlon's Razor ,or is there something more sinister? Nevertheless, the Dunning - Kruger effect unarguably applies.
  3. "Educate Thais" .. a wider philosophical and practical issue generally as their place in the PISA EDUCATIONAL TABLES attests. ????
  4. Although Schrödinger’s cat may be a concept a dog could grasp ? ????
  5. If only they could do that with kids ! ????
  6. That’s why they’re so keen on masks - it helps when they can’t keep a straight face ..
  7. Not really - 66% of the pump price in uk is taxes! It’s over double Thai price
  8. Why? "Odds on" you have no idea, at all. Edited 22 hours ago by Liverpool Lou An educated guess based on Thailand’s appalling RTA death stats vs those of European countries,along with huge amounts of anecdotal evidence on the standard of Thai drivers. Who will win the English premiership (Liverpool?) no idea? - no ,stats will tell you it’s most likely to be Manchester city.
  9. Tried that,couldn’t get a definitive answer. The problem is customer services is the front company. Claims will be handled by the underwriters (totally different) and so you won’t find out for sure until you actually claim. A lottery with the odds against you.
  10. BA have already given up ,handing back their slots to Thailand until at least October 2022.
  11. I’ve tentative plans for June /July. Perhaps when it finally dawns on them they’re ruining their tourist industry and the reputation and have another flip flop..Better to wait until uk summer anyway
  12. All looks pretty innocent to me … I mean none of them are carrying plastic bags . ????‍♂️
  13. And if only they could similarly get rid of them in a couple of years (or sooner) when they mess up,eh…?
  14. If you’re gonna have a fight with him I’ll hold your wallet… ????
  15. It’s just part of the circus/pantomime act . No one actually thinks to question why /what it’s supposed to achieve. Typical of the Thai ???? lack of critical thinking.
  16. I understand what you mean. I shudder to think what might’ve happened had I not brought my 9 year old stepdaughter to UK . In a decent UK state school she went on to get A levels in maths and English and a first class honours in Business economics at a decent university and now at 26 earns a very good living getting a graduate level job in on line commerce. That said she is considerably brighter than the average Thai I meet . There must be hundreds of thousands of kids here there futures blighted by the appalling educational system here . See PISA educational tables for Thailand’s ranking ????
  17. They’ve kept a not very bright,poorly educated and inward looking populous sufficiently nationalistic that they don’t appreciate how self inflicted this destruction of their tourist industry is.
  18. It wasn’t a claim that Portugal would suit everyone in Thailand better ! ????
  19. I know of at least 2 friends that have committed to moving to Portugal,one a family. While probably a little more expensive overall there are particular tax incentives offered by the government which probably more than offset that and of course no ‘Russian roulette' with visa renewal,as here. The difference between a government tolerating your presence while it suits vs one which actively encourages retirees to move there . For Europeans having the rest of Europe on the doorstep too must be an advantage .
