Please see my reply above your post 🙏 So how will Uk government pensions be affected? I'm due to collect mine in a few months

I don't often agee with you but you were right on both counts on this one.

I apologise - I probably got mixed up with the state pension being frozen because no treaty

So we are still not clear on whether government pensions are included as taxable or not - mine is taxed in the UK already, of course.

UK no DTA unfortunately

Actually, it was a repudiation of the SNP and their stupid woke policies.

I wish Trump would drop the hyperbole but we need him to try and stop the carnage: peace and Russian withdrawal (not inc Crimea) + no NATO.

Absolutely!!!

Does remittance also mean government pensions, Mike? Sorry it's probably been raised before.

I was a member of the Labour Party for many years and a member of a local management committee. I loathe the Tories, but it was not all their fault. Corbyn sat on the fence about Brexit for years - a foolish error. Things go round and round, and I hope Reform kicks up a stink about PR—they get 14.5% of the votes and 4 seats, while the Liberal Democrats get 12% and 61 seats.

Yaba again?

I'd put Koi in there - chuck 50 baby Koi in and feed daily, but they will require oxygenation and some filtering.

Chiang Mai now has a soi 6?

A poll might have been helpful here. I'm a Kellogs guy, but that's probably out of habit.

I never mentioned those countries, and it is off-topic despite your hate of them. How will it end? Is the topic, and the poll shows that 50% of respondents think Russia will win partially or wholly. As for balanced critique, pot and kettle come to mind.

Honestly - after drinking wines for 50 years, it's QUALITY that counts.

I think Boracay or Cebu - but i'm sure there are many other great places - Puerto Princesa I have heard is nice too.

All good... https://edition.cnn.com/2024/03/10/politics/russia-artillery-shell-production-us-europe-ukraine/index.html

FACT: The US and Europe were predicting that sanctions would hit Russia HARD, but they did not. All she said was, "We will try and keep inflation low" Good God, man, every country's central bank official will say the same - stop cherry-picking. Russia has recorded robust growth since the economic contraction of 2022, surpassing many expert forecasts. Rosstat, Russia’s national statistics agency, reported a growth rate of 3.6 percent for the Russian economy in 2023 while the International Monetary Fund (IMF) estimated growth at around 3 percent. The IMF has thus revised its forecast for 2024 upward to 2.6 percent given the Russian economy’s strong performance last year.

You are all about confirmation bias and no outside-the-box thinking. https://www.bbc.com/news/business-68823399

Biden never lies - no American soldier died under his watch, and it's all the jet lag from 2 weeks ago. Dictator? Do you care to give any evidence?

I could not care less about his ancient practices - obey the law or be locked up.

She is obviously mentally disturbed - it must be a nightmare for her neighbours. The Pu Yai Baan seems ineffective (as usual).

20% of juice or wine that is not from grapes. The fruit in this wine could come from pears, apples, pineapples - not grapes.

RIP, but jump off the 6th floor of a 40-floor condo?
