Busy weekend Mr Owl ? Farang with idle hands do the devils work I’m told. 🤣 can someone enlighten me as to this pic ? It came across fb on the Ban Dung Update page the other day. The fb auto translate often doesn’t work on this page, I suspect they may be writing in Lao language ? Mr Owl had mentioned a fishing park, which conjured images of hoards of Thai and Farang with bait casters, fly rods and maybe hand lines not this rabble with Thai nets ! It looks like a total circus down there ! 🤣

What would be better is if the pissing competition ended. We seem to have arrived at position of no tax on the pension, let’s enjoy that.

Thank you for confirming the disingenuous manner that punctuates your posts.

I’ll add that I have only ever had 1 TV/AN account, this one. How many accounts do you have on TV/AN ? Forget that, we don’t want anyone getting in trouble…

If you can’t click read and comprehend the opinion in the link, up to you. If you want to make statements inferring facts and later claim innocence I’ll cease wasting my time with you.

No one is saying you should be ! You keep making this claim like it should impress people, the only people impressed are those who like you are morally bankrupt. You should be proud of what a fine upstanding humanitarian he is, keep up the cash supply 👍🏼

I have no problems with free speech and I’m quite baffled at how a dislike of someone’s business practices makes me a leftie… Elon doesn’t give a rats arse about your free speech, him being a dictatorial autocrat is a reasonable way to describe his public persona however. Im sure Elon thanks you for your blind worship, its amazing how money clouds peoples judgement. Past results are no guarantee of future performance and you’re down $12 already today 🤣

Thank you 🤣🤣

Let me rephrase myself, you didn’t get off your ginger and find the link, dunno why you’re gloating.

Twitter. edit: the cave sub… his Pedo accusation to the cave rescuer… his general disregard for corporate governance… his treatment of employees post covid.

To be fair, no one of any opinion had published this.

8 years…?

They’ll slap a coat of “rich wasp living a Christopher Skase lifestyle funded by Mr & Mrs Little Ozzie Battler” paint on you and throw you to the witch burning mob who will sing and dance while you bbq. You are correct in that they wouldn’t do it to Australian Residents, but by this time they’ve figured out that you’re not.

I’m not so sure the Australian Government really care about Australian pensioners who live and most importantly (to them) spend overseas. Welfare payments are really only popular with the recipients and amongst “lefties”, there’s a philosophy of it’s good for the economy because it almost all goes back into circulation but if the money is going overseas however… And right wingers don’t want to pay anyone any welfare. There isn’t going to be anyone protesting in the streets about reducing pensions to people living overseas and when the government of the day says “This budget measure will save X $Aud which will be focused on healthcare and policing for hard working Australian Citizens”

Sorry, I don’t think you have your head in the sand. I personally think that at some point the Australian Government will want the money, will it be this year, next year or 2034, know one knows. Long term (undefined) it will change and likely to a similar model that KH has proposed, hopefully it’s after we have shuffled off. Im 57, still working in Oz and I doubt I’ll accumulate enough to not be on the AAP, such is life.

I understand that to qualify for the AAP you need to be an Australian resident for 2 years but I don’t understand why you’re saying that someone who is already receiving the AAP would need to return to Oz for 2 years to CONTINUE to receive the AAP ?

You may well be correct, this year… anyone who is not expecting it to happen at a future time has their head in the sand at best. Just hope it happens after you shuffle off.

You might be right but I took it as his mate picked up a rash last week... 😄

He’s lived here for 4 years… 🙄

Bloody born again ev evangelicals pushing their agenda ! 🤣

What load of cherry picking twaffle.

The captain would be aware of any and all issues with the plane and as you already understand, he makes the ultimate decision on “to fly, or not to fly”. Id suspect that it may not be unusual for those seats to be the last filled ? I always decline those seats, I’m 6”2’ and wouldn’t mind the legroom but dislike the non reclining seats.

If you are correct in what you have posted then it was not a random choice that left those seats vacant, it was a conscious decision by the captain, crew and maintenance… Which would raise some VERY big questions.
