Will B Good

Third world and developing nations just don't appreciate how hard life can be in the west.

The worse the service the bigger the tip and the more heartfelt the the thanks with a loud, friendly the goodbye.......just to embarrass

Let's hope they have some tech savvy folk there to sort this site out.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pensions_in_the_United_States

A report from the House of Commons Library shows that the pension systems of Ireland, Denmark and the Netherlands are arguably good European comparators for the UK State Pension system. This is because like the UK, these countries also provide a flat-rate state pension based on the number of qualifying years a person amasses during their working life. Ireland Ireland pays a non-means-tested, flat-rate pension to people from the age of 66 who have made enough social insurance contributions. The full rate is available for those with 48 or more qualifying years. As of 2021, the full pension amount is €248.30 (or £214) per week. Netherlands The Netherlands follows a pension system that consists of a basic state pension that is linked to the country’s minimum wage. A single pensioner gets an amount worth up to 70% of the net minimum wage. A pensioner couple gets the equivalent to 100% of the net minimum wage (50% each). The pension amounts are revised each January and July, alongside the minimum wage itself. The pension system is also residence-based. Individuals accrue 2% of the full pension amount for every year they reside in the country between the age of 15 and the pension age (up to a maximum of 50 years). Currently, the full pension amount stands at €1,218.19 per month (around £260.84 per week) for a single person. For married or cohabiting couples, it is €832.86 per month (£178.33 per week).

Need to hammer all those wealthy British expats on their big fat (worst pension in the western world) pensions.

Yes.....thought I had uploaded...but somehow they hadn't and had to either do again of do on a different screen or in a different section????....soz...can't remember the details.....but did get them to upload and it all worked fine.

I had the same problem.....I'm pretty sure I was not uploading the documents correctly...... can't recall what I did wrong or how I corrected it, but it was definitely related to uploading stuff.

One for the f**k wits on here who say what's the problem?....no harm...beach is empty....just Thais being xenophobic.

They say over 50% of fatal accidents occur within 5 miles of where you live.....if that's true I'm moving.

Not overly concerned about 'adults' killing themselves.....but it does annoy me to see kids sat on someone's knee in the front of a car or gangs of kids in the back of a truck been driven by a complete moron who thinks he is in an F1 race.

The only surprising aspect here is that anyone is bothered about keeping this deal a secret.......he has money, he can do what the hell he likes.

UK interest rate cut hopes fade after inflation falls by less than expected.......how the markets view this amazing news.

What were the chances?

……..fatal injuries leading to death….who would have thunk?

Just realised that…I assumed it was a gold ‘shop’.

I’ve always sent mine to my IO.

Bathroom plug?

Give up and do it by post.....my last one was rejected repeatedly......done it loads of times before with no problems.

Yes....how the hell do they make a profit?...... never seen more than half a dozen cars in the car park.... and walking around they are deserted.

I walked into our condo gym, music was blasting out......I asked a guy in there...'do you know how to turn this **** off, I don't want to listen to it.......he said sure, picked up his phone and switched it off.....555

Worked one summer in one of those places.......by 5pm I was close to putting a bullet in my head.....it is soul destroying.

If a suicide obviously the balance of the mind is extremely disturbed....but I still find it staggeringly selfish to risk innocent lives by jumping into a busy street.

Give it ten years and there'll be an order issued by the government.....no water after 7pm.....always quick to read the room.

Had the same on the bus and train......even first class train journey in Germany....challenged everyone of them and they turned them off.....but you would think I'd asked them to donate a kidney to a pedophile
