Oh dear, more stuff Loiner doesn't understand. 

Not interested in your Project Fear continuation from Jingly Times. How deep did you have to trawl for that?
The UK paid a net 8 or 9 billion pounds to the EU last year. When we exit No Deal that shortfall will have to be made up by other EU members, or maybe just Germany.

Why is the news outlets in the UK not broadcasting what happened yesterday in the EU? Germany is selling off Euro bonds at minus 5%, that means anyone buying them is paying 5% more than they are worth. Reported at over a billion Euros of bonds.

because no news media anywhere publishes that kind of nonsense.

This is to support the Euro which at midday went into free fall across the world.

yeah right! to support a currency investors are attracted by interest rates which cause a loss. my dogs are wondering why i'm roaring with laughter.

There’s only about ten of them who are net contributors and most of those only marginal. The rest are EU freeloaders. Will Portugal pick up the tab, as last year it was the fourth biggest scrounger at 2.5 billion? It’s the EU equivalent of your spoonies drinkers, no wonder you like it there.

nobody has to pick up any tab and nobody has to cough up any amount. lower net proceeds means lower distributions. as simple as that!

One point most people have missed is that (from one of the major English newspapers in Thailand) eleven financial companies and the biggest banks are currently testing the eKYC (know your client) apps. Once in operation supposedly by the end of the year, it will be impossible to have someone else use your bank cards or your bank account book to withdraw any money from your accounts. This is supposed to affect all accounts in Thailand once it comes into effect. Do a search and you can read the articles yourself.

nonsense!

This is only what they have borrowed the last 4 years from the Norwegian People's Pension Fund.

they did not "borrow"! the Norwegian Pension Fund "invested" in Thailand. i suggest you do some homework.

I think the Baht is artificially inflated just like the Yuan in China

methinks you think wrong as the Chinese currency is artificially DEflated and that's what the masters of the "Greatest Nation on Earth" think of the Thai Baht. i suggest to do a little homework.

Thais have a tendency to be quite traditional and if you are attractive and single they feel compelled to come up with an explanation for what they see as abnormal behavior.  Some of those possible explanations are not particularly flattering.

thanks for the explanation. i'm not exposed to Thai polite society which surely would comment my abnormal life style unflattering.

I've been thinking about getting into it as a kind of backyard hobby, just for the eggs. Do you think it's worth the hassle? How many eggs would a pair of healthy ducks produce over time. just picking your brains as you seem to know a lot about this topic...

living on a lake in Florida i raised a dozen ducks (1 day old Mallards). they turned out to be 4 males and 8 femals. after several months i had to fight crows, possums, gators and other animals to net daily 3 eggs. taste absoeffinglutely delicious! wouldn't touch chicken eggs anymore. tried in Thailand for the umpteenth time duck eggs and couldn't finish a single ugly tasting one.

i had rogan josh with a crusty nan.

Is anyone really taking this post seriously?  You have to be kidding me.  Who in their right mind given a concern for a child's well being would ask for an opinion about a  black ladyboy of indeterminate age on Thai visa? 

a "soistalker" would.

So, a 50 year old Caucasian guy moved in with his Wife/GF and they have a dark son that dressing feminine ?

  Do you have a problem with her size, her drinking habits , his skin colour or his dress sense ?

his only problem is with himself and his dirty phantasies!
