    When you let a Thai lady ( wife ) get involved with money 💰 🤑 

    They think they know better  ways to improve their wealth 

    Unfortunately greed probably plays a part in this story plus getting scammed 

    I have sympathy for the guy learning the hard way of doing  business

    in Thailand 😱

    Why would you do business in a country where you don't, read, write and speak the language

    And of course don't understand the laws.

     

    Only if you are a dumb <deleted> who listens to a Thai woman with no financial acumen and has too much money to lose.

    Suck it up!

    I guess everyone has a goal that they want to achieve as they grow older.  I once lived in the Pyrenee mountains (beautiful place), and I wanted to cross from west to east on horseback before I died.  Unfortunately, all the horses got wind of my plan and emigrated...

     

    Now, having reached retirement age of 66, and with modest but sufficient monthly income, I want to continue my educational charity in Myanmar for as long as I am able.  But although my brain is strong, it seems my flesh is not 🙂.  It's not my huge bunion and BPH and Bronchiestasis and dodgy eyes that is the problem - I have learnt to live with these.

     

    No, it's just a general tiredness, aching bones and muscles.

     

    I'm sure that there is no underlying serious illness - I'm just getting old!

     

    I do take general supplements (Centrum Silver).  But are there some specific supplements that have proven results to make me as sprightly as a sprightly bar maid (female hormones aside)?

     

    I hear that Boron is good for knee joints and magnesium is good for .... er ... something else.

     

    I walk 5km every day and don't get tired (my lung function is normal - my bronchiestasis just produces more mucus than normal),  but I think I also need some other physical activity to stretch my tendons and make me more supple (bar maid comparison again).

     

    I had a general blood works check-up last week, as well as an ECG and stress test, and nothing ill-toward found, arteries are clean as a whistle, no fat depositis etc, HR normal, blood pressure normal etc.

     

    Suggestions welcome!

  3. The  whole debacle is full of corruption, obviously the order wasn't part of any due diligence because that would have revealed in the very first instance, that the specified engine was subject to sanctions.

    Fitting a inferior Chinese engine that has never been used before is full of peril for any submarinerers and constitutes a reckless disregard for their safety.

     

    Obviously the bungs have been large as this woeful purchase has been lurching from crisis to scandal every year.

     

    Not to mention the complete waste of taxpayer's money.

    That still leaves the question as to why the UK making itself so attractive to illegals by giving them free accomodation, free health services, free recreational activity, and pocket money to name just a few of the benefits they are given, paid for by UK tax payers.

    Absolutely and meanwhile pensioners are being asked to pay more for everything despite the fact they have actually contributed to the UKs finances.

     

    Meanwhile around 450,000 pensioners who live overseas who made tax an NI contributions have their state pension frozen and many like myself still have to pay income tax!!!
