Get out more, get laid more. You think too much matey. By the time you sort it out, you'll be dead.

He didn't say that. He said, 'I'll be back'. What a waste of a post !

The punch line is: 'no, I didn't think they could play cricket'.

No

Good one 😅

Who was the first person to find out that if you stuff ginger up a horses ass it runs faster???

I read this for real on a Military Assessment form: ' his consumption of alcohol at inappropriate times is only exceeded by that of his wife' I wonder if he was ever promoted

That was funnier than the original joke, well done

It will get added to all pensions, unless you opt out, but if you don't qualify, HMRC will deduct it in tax. Be warned, if you don't qualify for the WFA and you don't opt out, the tax man may well hit you with more than you get paid in the benefit, especially if you pay any tax at the marginal higher rate on any other income. You can read on all about it on the UK Gov website.

I opted out of the WFA when I moved here. It seemed the right thing to do.

Not any more

They claim pension credits as a benefit. Claiming any benefits while living in Thailand, including this one, is illegal. The government started to interrogate UK bank accounts of benefit claimants in order to catch just this kind of fraud. I even knew of an acquaintance who was claiming not only pension credits, but also a housing benefit, while living in Thailand. He was caught fined and given a suspended prison sentence.

OP, I don't care and neither should you, or anyone else. Most people living in Thailand are fxxxed up in one way or another, so nobody should be judging others. Unless, and there is always an exception. Anyone who walks around town and shops with their shirts off and old men wearing vest type T shirts, or just actual vests. Usually the ladies, regardless of their job or background, dress a damn sight better than most farangs.

Get an agent to get it for you !! 2,000 Baht

You can bet the farm that they do know, just not admitting it.
