The last time I looked, we were not in Russia, comrade

I have 14 years of gaps at around 800 quid a gap so I doubt it is viable for 2000 increase a month

Letter saying I can't pay

How did you pay? I no longer have a UK bank account.

Because she won't do even ONE

Unfortunately, Thais have been very "mai pen rai" from a very young age. Most countries there would be millions on the streets by now.

As you well know, he disavowed it. It's going to be tight, I have to admit, but I think the Democrats have pulled a conjuring trick with this Biden thing and no nomination process for KH.

That does sound like it's gone down an awful lot. It needs more money but it's a bottomless pit.

Amazing - do you have the contact numbers - maybe I'll have one last try TYIA

I had to look it up too haha - I'm guessing it's not the "Sydney Morning Herald" 🤪

I last worked in the NHS up until 1999 - and a lot longer than you and at a much senior level. Back then, we recruited from the Philippines, so you cannot use that as if it's something new - it isn't. It is common for many lower positions in the NHS to constantly moan about managers without understanding the facts because they are frustrated. It isn't perfect, but most in the world would give their right arm to have a similar free service. You think private would be better? Anyway, this is totally off-topic, so let's agree to disagree. One of the best things about the UK, and there aren't many, is the NHS.

It is a dream for most younger Thais - everyone hopes you are right. Down with dinosaurs!

Wow - that is amazing but I'm done trying with them. I tried to pay online, but Bangkok Bank was a pain in the ****, insisting on a bank address in the UK address despite having all the SWIFT codes, etc., etc., etc. They could make it easier - let us pay by CC, for example. I'm giving up as they don't reply, and I'm very bored with it.

Good morning. I won't be losing a lot, around 3 or 4,000 a month. I cannot top up online, which would be easy, and they say as my pension is from next month I cannot do it at all. I can't be bothered with it to be honest.

"with the backing of ruski" what??? it's a bit early to be on the Chang. This guy is a born Nationalist, as it suits his own wealth agenda. Thailand is 50 years behind most developed countries and they LOVE IT that way because it keeps them in power.

What do you mean by "what the heck"? You completely took his words out of context to further your little agenda.

I can assure him Thailand is mostly "meaningless" to the USA.

That's a very silly thing to say. In my experience, while some are not great, the vast majority are highly competent. Labelling management as incompetent or saying that there are too many of them is a misconception. The opposite is true—there are not enough. Managers comprise 2/3% of the workforce (39,000) compared to around 5% in many top companies. It is a complex and very difficult organisation to manage, and the general public is clueless about what it takes to manage such a vast organisation and keep it as the best health care service, free at delivery, in the world.

He was a pen pusher who retired just as his unit was going to Iraq. Maybe that was smart - I can't blame him for that to be honest. But hero he ain't.

Good! Try thinking before just lapping it all up - question things. Bye

The uncle was with her?

I can't be bothered to phone up and chase it. Luckily I'm not relying on the State Pension.

"IMO it's time for you to roll out the tin foil hat, all those MSM conspiracy theories" That is called something where I come from - how about drop the Ad Hominem? it gets boring

Honeymoon period - we will know more in a month or two, but I have to admit it is going to be harder now the liar Biden, "only God Almighty," has gone, and the unelected Harris has taken over.

Unfortunately, MSM is not a CT. But I know from your limited education and background that it is difficult for you to think outside your box. Just let MSM do your thinking for you. Life is much easier, I know - bye.
