    It’s not strange at all. Tik in Swedish means a female dog. And you can also name a female dog as bitch. Not a nice word for a female dog. 

    Nothing wrong with the word bitch just the way we perceive it it is the description of a female dog, as a female pig/sow, deer/doe, and so on.

    What computer calendar is that?  Google does not list it and that is what most of us use.  

     

    Day 1 Month 7 was my reading - American version goes month/day/year (don't ask why).

    You would think that the natural order of ascendancy would be day, week, month, year, decade, century and millennium, however as we know Americans have strange ways in many things, they also claim to speak English. ????????

    Also being American they won't understand the ironic comedy of this post ????????????

    Sure. If you want the annual increase, move to the Philippines!

    Not true just have a UK current bank account using UK address, family member, friend whatever, ship capital over here when required still get pension increase no tax in Thailand also claim back all tax paid by Thai bank on your capital over here because you haven't any Thai income,             easy-peasy????????

    Everyone can make assessments of the scoot or motorbike journey where they live it's not rocket science. 

    Lack of training and skills in using machines is what is lacking IMHO. 

    What a stupid statement, you cannot assess whether on a 2 minute or a 2hour journey whether some Neanderthal in a pickup is going to plough into you whilst arguing with the wife on his phone. This has nothing to do with your assessment of the journey.

    While not surprising, such a last-minute flip-flop is obviously very bad, as it alienates those who have already booked flights and accommodation.

     

    Here's a new slogan for TAT: Amazing Thailand never fails to disappoint. Guaranteed. 

    I don't think there will be many disappointed because I don't think that there's much chance that anybody apart from the foolhardy or downright stupid had booked ????????

    Say 30 kids in a class, 60 parents for those kids, each parent with a workplace with possibly hundreds, such as a factory.  

     

    Why shut down the factories with hundreds, when you can shut down the 30 kid class, which acts as a central point of spread for all the staff from different factories?

     

    Reading this I take it all the schools were closed during your childhood ????????????

    Well the UK wont even enquire about there expats. Even though most have paid National insurance all there working life and some will still be paying tax to the UK  government. I appreciate we have moved away for whatever reason but most have earned and payed for the right to assistance in a once in lifetime event. 

    When I lived and worked in the UK for 62 years, 47 of which I worked full time paying tax and National insurance, as a non welfare benefit receiver English born citizen, I am fully aware of being 2nd class in one's own country, not treated much worse here. ????????
