Yes that went straight above your head.....

Perhaps the DWP should take our adverts in the nreaks on Emmerdale and Coronation St for the terminally dimwitted

What are you talking about All income is taxable including state pension once you go over the Personal allowance in total no matter what the origin of that income If you dont want next Aprils rise am sure many charities will happily accept it even if the Tories (and not Labour) froze the personal allowances level previously whilst in power

Yep I said the other day on seperate thread and produced another link from DWP saying the state pension is "not sanctionable"

One of my lads is in Dubai currently with his Girlfriend due back Sunday He's on Saudia via Jeddah back to Gatwick He messaged this morning asking do you think there will any problems

Go on then I'll take the bait

I wont relate an entire post that I made few months ago but my question to a Visa Agent that overided everything else (in my opinion) was can the shight hit the fan using Agents technically circumventing the rules Top agent came back with a laugh and said no this is immigrations biggest "cash cow" The level of (and I choose my word carefully) "bungs" goes right to the top

For christs sake you've moved the goalposts completely Get back on topic the OP or the subjects of it are claiming they were "blindsided" Bollacks....

For christ sake lol its been in "force" for 70 years or more !!

Doesnt matter whether they considered quality or not but the number one requirement for life after oxygen and food is....money I have zero sympathy for people they ignore the absolute basics

Astonishing I havent read every page bar OP but these people knew there was no annual uplift Its been like that since the 1950's in certain countries. Whether we think its right or wrong is immaterial These people are utter weapons

Yes I cant be bothered with these day trip border bounces and always fancied Danang anyway (been Angeles before) just thinking its closer and hotels are insanely cheap

I'm on an intended 6 month trip this Autumn/Winter or just shy of it and going to rely on a VE entry extended by 30 days and then go Danang or Angeles City for a week and come back in on VE again (hopefully all ok) and extend again Last exit of Thailand was March of this year so not expecting any issues I will be getting an onward ticket again as because same as the last 2 visits I was on one way ticket (not that Etihad or Singapore remotely asked for it last 2 trips or the SETV for that matter)

Simply not true The UK state pension itself is not sanctionable and I provided the DWP link previously

Yep situation getting worse Sterling/Baht interbank real time currently now down to 43.43 at time of post

I've deliberately screenshotted my own post and quote to include the 3 confused emoji lol It seems that it has to be spelt out for the terminally dimwitted here The trafficking, of huge quantities of drugs for financial gain is a criminal act the world over no matter where it originated from !! Jesus wept !

Dropped further this morning 32.60 real time

Sterling continues its march northwards against the benchmark Dollar....Geddon Sir Keir 🚀 Just a huge pity that the Baht is going for glory against the same USD on the opposite side of the pairings lol 32.69 in real time...ouch

Some of the suggestions are beyond comedy gold they really are Its as if Thailand doesnt have Physicians and Consultants trained for years who know what they're doing as regards ongoing extensive tests Ohh hang on says one of Bumrungrad's finest we'd better pop onto Asean to see if any of the bar room brawlers have got any suggestions

Just keep taking it because after 22 years I'm still here lol Its FM you've got I'd bet my last Dollar on it

Exactly I've been on it for 22 years and it gave me everything back in life in 2002 200mg originally a day 150mg a day now 22 years later Out of interest to others reading it doesnt work on headaches lol

I hinted at 95% in my original post as didnt want to go all out but in reality 99% it certainly is Much more common than people realise I cant tell you how agitated I was back in 2002 when all these tests were going on. I wasn't reassured that all these tests coming back negative was a good thing but in hindsight it was I remember vividly my own GP getting agitated to me and saying "look you havent uncovered some new disease in mankind" lol Once I had the Tramadol and originally Amitriptylene (older style anti depressant) it was gone in 2 days. We stopped the antidepressant after 2 months (I wasnt depressed per se) just to be on safe side that it wasnt that drug that had solved the issue but pain didnt come back so we knew tramadol had solved it

After the public lashing they got from a prominent bar group owner on Soi 6 Pattayas finest seemingly dont have too far to look

J J will be along shortly to advise but personally never heard of it

Yes I get new prescription every month here in UK. For my Thailand extended trips they wont give more than 2 months at a time so I buy over the counter if required from my local guy up the pharmacy Never had problems bringing into Thailand but then only ever been stopped once at Suvarnabhumbi at inbound customs and such was my surprise I was looking around for the cameras assuming it was a complete wind up It needn't have mattered anyway as the x ray bag scanner bloke was fast asleep in his chair
