Liverpool Lou

Where did you get all that garbage from?

And, obviously, you don't know the details of the cause this accident. Maybe the driver was driving perfectly well.

Now you know why people who kill people in accidents do not stop ! The driver did stop, he also waited there for the police.

Where was it reported that the driver had been speeding or that he was an idiot?

He won't see anything of his mum in prison.

As I pointed out It varies from country to country and there seems no logic behind it - what do you see as "specific"? The countries that have the agreements are specific, selected by the governments specifically, they are not chosen at random!

Obviously, you have no idea what "random" means, then.

I do not agree with our not receiving the increases but we pay in for the UK state pension and it's associated increases to receive it whilst we're residents of the UK. Governments have always made it clear that those deciding to reside in certain overseas locations will not get those additional benefits, it has never been a secret, so those choosing to live in non-qualifying countries, despite the disadvantage, are paying in to receive only the basic pension once they leave the UK. The downside of no increases has always been common knowledge and well-promoted on the government websites. It may not be considered to be fair but we all have the choice before we relocate.

"...it’s a matter of the greed of the wealthy..." What's that supposed to mean? What is the "greed of the wealthy"?

The difference is that those residential arrangements would be legitimate as opposed to those pretending that they live in the Philippines.

And still have your pension paid to a Thai bank? That may raise a red flag in the DWP that you may have to explain to their satisfaction. The proof of life certificate of a British "Philippines resident" coming via Thailand Post is something else that you'd have to have a good explanation for.

No, it is not "a bit random", it is very specific.

Those with holiday arrangements on the other side of the world probably aren't going to have a problem paying their electric and gas bills!

The thousands of Europeans who are here already, and whose numbers are increasing, don't appear to agree with your friends.

Unfortunately, in addition to passport/DL for identity verification, that company requires a current utility bill, not ideal for non-UK residents.

What bad experiences have you, personally, had with HSBC that makes you say that they are completely useless? None?

Whatever happens to it the Patpongpanich family will never be too bothered. They can unload the area anytime for billions ($).

What? From the OP... "We moved to Thailand a year ago and stayed in Chonburi and now we’re relocating to Bangkok".

"Rich driver who deliberately blocked ambulance...." Where did the "rich driver" bit come from, it sure wasn't the headline if the original article? Doesn't take a rich man to own one of those. The model shown in the video does not cost anything like B3.3m, less than 1/3rd of that would be more accurate.

Does it matter what the superior officer rank was to be worth commenting? Your previous comment suggested that you thought the CO was the offender, he wasn't, that's why I commented.

It was reported after he was discharged.

Which "naval commander" [sic]? The accused was a PO.

Send the OP an invitation...please.

To point out that the headline is misleading or false. What is inaccurate, misleading or false about the thread's title? Are you saying that he wasn't the champion of the fight he won? Seems that he has a 100% win record...so far!

What do you mean "why should complete strangers pay"? No one is forced to contribute.
