    a Prime Minister should not have to pay personally for their dumb policies - they should really do a better job.

    Precisely. If in 'Western' democracies every President or PM or Minister who introduced a mediocre or bad or disastrous policy had to pay out millions or billions from their private pocket as a result, there wouldn't be any competent government to be found. Every government would play it super safe and never achieve anything.

     

    Ridiculous.

    This type of weaponry should scare everyone. These drones can take out a single individual or thousands at a time. It really surprises me that the US has not already adopted this as their arsenal. 

    I think I read somewhere the other day (but I'm getting old) that the US is doing exactly the same as the Chinese - large-scale use of drones from big platforms.

  3. Your eyes don't have to deteriorate with age, provided you look after your general health (80% what goes in your mouth - low low sugar, high on vegies & fruits ...) and 20% exercise.

     

    I'm about to turn 76 next month. A year ago I got a new pair of glasses in Thailand, with my first eye check since arriving here permanently in late 2015. My eyes hadn't changed since my last eye test in Canberra in 1998.

  4. About a year ago my Oz bank (NAB) froze my (Oz) accounts until I supplied them with a TIN. No argument from me (eg my entire income in Oz was covered by DTA & no Thai income) had any effect.

     

    So I had no choice but to go to the Revenue Office here in Surin & ask for a TIN. Took about an hour out of my life and all done. Apart from supplying it to NAB in Oz I've had no further use for it (no tax return lodged this March & no intention to do so while my income remains 100% compliant as I expect it will till my upcoming death some time later in the century).
