I place as much effort into the content presentation in replying to one of your posts as i do in leaving a note for the milkman.

Don't flatter yourself.

ALL your post are written like that.

It would be a sign of respect to other posters if you would use proper punctuation.

Note for the milkman? Does the milkman not deserve respect? Soon you might sing

 that Herman's Hermits song......

Temper temper,i didn,t steal your bike.

True, you did not steel my bike.

But you ruined my belief in the possibility of intelligent discussions about Brexit.

And in the possibility to apply the same punctuation on this forum.

Just a small suggestion, so that your post could become readable instead of barely decryptable:

Replace "Temper temper,i didn,t steal your bike." by "Temper, temper. I didn't steal your bike".

Or better even: Think of a better reply.

you,reWelcome.

I admit that the Weird Lords are up to the UK, not me.

Will you admit that the European parlement and government  is up to the Europeans, not you?

You're out of the club, so stop medling in the club's rules.

Right on and if your leaders can,t cut the mustard by achieving something as simple as ordering a consignment of drugs,vote them out,oh i forgot,the eu dosen,t believe in peoples elections.

European MP's are elected, unlike your House of Weird Lords.

nothing to add 

 

but we do need to pay a little respect for other members on here that might not be members of the now mighty UK community - we may have people posting here that are not from the UK - can you spot them lol

 

how is the Euro doing these last few of weeks - it seems to be dropping like a lead balloon - who do we blame for that 

 

The UK lol

Have you checked the pound-euro exchange rate?

No, didn't think so.

Thanks for the replies.

This isn't a scam to get money from me. I'm sure of that. ( Caveat that nobody can be sure of anything )

Gf owed the money before she met me. It's 330,000bht and it's on top of other loans. 

She knows I won't bail her out.

She owed the money long time already. It was verbal, year ago she signed paper to say she owed it. Paper gives impression it's interest free now but will turn into interest if not paid.

She won't dump me, I know that.

She was awful with money before I met her. But has been very responsible for the last 5 years. But the past is overwhelming her.

She wants to pay it back. 

Sorry to hear these details.

Your gf seems to be honest but irresponsible.

So that raises the question: Can we farangs play the role of the social security system that Thailand does not have?

The answer to that question is clear... but it goes in against our Farang mindset.

Been there, done that, and regretted it - but would probably do it again.

I hereby nominate these doctors for a Nobel Peace Price.

If no peace prices are available at the moment, take one away from "that woman".

The fate of these Myanmar poor people is very much the same as the fate that a nobel prize winner bestowed on the Rohingya.

Something funny in the air in SE Asia?

If a non infected person is locked up together with an infected person, there is a good chance that he will catch covid later on. Next he will be ready to pass on covid a few days later. And so on.

Will our fellow expats be locked up for life???

I pitty my poor Myanmar fellow expats.

Thai songs remind me of Thailand.  To those living here for many years , ' What songs remind you of England ? '

You seem to assume that all expats/immigrants in Thailand are English?

A certain rap song - but I was warned not to give a link again.

Just a guess: the Polish and Rumanian expats?

The general consensus ( from the TVF sleuths ) is that users of TOT are suffering the 522 issue, only on TVF,  while others, True, AIS etc , are not.

I can assure you that I don't use TOT in Madeira.

Sounds like a conspiracy theory to suggest "all authorities" don't care about saving the lives of the elderly. I call B.S. 

I don't think there is a conspiracy, but choices will be made, with the same result.

Bit of a hysterical statement, but on a par with the rhetoric that was coming from Remainers prior to Brexit. Seems a hard border is not such a bad thing when the EU wants one? 

The best solution would be a British withdrawal from the occupied territories.
