Trip Hop

Do I come across as someone who has a death wish then?

Obviously more than you!

Neither do you judging by your comments on this?

Open to negotiation I suppose but from recollection this person paid about 10000B for a few days whilst his flight was sorted out. That was about 10 years ago though.

I know that for a fee you can get your own air-con separate room in IDC. And no it's not from personal experience but that of someone that got kicked out.

It can be as little as 8 years in the UK with good behaviour.

What makes you think they are Muslim just because they are Irani?

I have to say that I've had worst nips off my 3 legged Thai Ridgeback when he wants to play. However, a Pitbull as with any other dog should not be left to roam free in public places, especially if it has the habit of nipping/biting people. If the IP had responded/retaliated the wrong way, things could have been far worse.

I have to agree. Just from the photos and the state of the kit, it looks like something out of the 70s in the Western world. Hope that they are all ok?

If only you knew what I do? It didn’t come from a bar stool in Pattaya either.

The Mrs' ex boss runs a small newspaper/media outlet that feeds some of the majors and as well as local topics, specializes in alleged social injustice such as this. He is also a lawyer though who has worked alongside the likes of Sittra, so he is fully aware of his legal liabilities. I have no doubt that he takes risk that could be hazardous to his health but I'm pretty confident he's fairly connected too. I have to say that I admire the guy for his stance.

Even if just in transit at not clearing immigration, in cases like this the airline has to obtain confirmation that the other side will accept you before they will allow you to board. Here they would also have to obtain permission from Turkey and the UK in advance. A friend had a similar issue some years ago when returning from Prague to the UK via Amsterdam. Funnily enough the Netherlands were fine but the UK Border Force were the balls ache despite him flying out of there on a return ticket only a few days earlier.

Me too! 😁

Since when was Beeching anything to do with road building?

It's not cheap but I think you're exaggerating a little there? I got bit on Samui before and the total bill for treatment on the day including tetanus, 1st Rabipur and optional immune globular (13000B) directly into the wound came to around 25000B and that was at the Bangkok Samui. I didn't like the way I was treated whilst they were waiting for my insurance to authorise payment, so never went back and got the remaining 4 shots of Rabipur for about 800-1000B from local clinics and smaller hospitals. Had I gone to them in the first place, the initial bill would have been a hell of a lot cheaper but as my insurance was paying and I was a bit naive about the BS, I didn't really care.

I can understand the locals' annoyance. I got bit by a German guy's dog whilst I was sat talking to him in a quite part of Cheongmon Beach in Samui some years ago. The local lady owner of the adjacent eatery wanted me to stay around and wait for the police as the dog had bitten many times before and she felt it could be driving customers away. I had other ideas and wanted to get to the hospital.

I could name at least one other place that he's forgotten and this information didn't come from a bar stool in Pattaya either!

Look up the name for someone who collects watches, you will find it is the same. Now do I need to educate you any more?

He may well be one of the better ones and I have no interest in debating whether his family has wealth or not; or where it came from if they have? However, what I will say is that you are wearing extremely rose tinted glasses. I won’t disclose on here exactly how I know but I do. What I will tell you though is that he has been connected to the horologist from a very young age and therefore he was never going to be your average Joe. If you doubt this last bit, just remind yourself which office previously he has always been transferred back to whenever he has been taken off active duty?

I get the impression that you're just out to either up your post score or troll with all your controversial comments. Seems a bit bitter and twisted either way. BTW, UK palliative care is pretty crap if you do manage to get it.

I can accept that I may have confused the two and I'm happy to admit it, as was clearly stated by myself not knowing the finer details in my last post. It's a shame that you haven't acknowledged the same regarding your beliefs as stated? Plenty of information available on the internet and rather petty to make a point of me not supplying a link when it's not really a niche subject. Here goes just to keep you happy though! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-32216346#:~:text="Non-dom" describes a,be affected by these factors. Have a nice day!

I don't want to get in a debate about this as I don't know the finer technicalities with regards to terminology/status. However, a quick search of the internet reveals the following: "Non-dom" describes a UK resident whose permanent home - or domicile - for tax purposes is outside the UK. It refers to a person's tax status, and has nothing to do with their nationality, citizenship or resident status - although it can be affected by these factors.

Not always the case. As you say if they are out of the country for a full tax year (April 6th to April 5th the following year) excluding allowable days for visits, you are entitled to file non-dom status and will pay no tax on outside UK income providing you can prove that you are registered for tax in the country that you are based. However, a lot of countries/contracts in the Middle east etc will pay tax free and use this as bait regardless of whether the contract is long enough for you to qualify. This can lead to a rather unpleasant surprise if the UK tax man catches up with you at a later date. I know people that have been caught out this way and I have also turned down contracts myself when the attractive so called tax-free turns out not to be the case.

Looking at the road surface and adjacent bar it certainly looks more like New Plaza than Buakhao.

Have you ever thought about changing your screen name to Save the Brits? 🤣
