    The range master and instructor needs to be in control of people in the range - always!

    Assume your gun is loaded at all times
    What do you do if you check your gun and it's unloaded?  See rule 1.
    Never point your gun an anything or anyone you don't mean to shoot or kill.
    Keep the muzzle pointed down-range at all times.
    If a person is downrange, unload the gun, holster it, or put in on the bench with the breach open.

    So let me get this right.
    Student picks up a unfired bullet off the floor
    Student thinks that unfired bullet is a "dummy"
    Student loads "dummy" in magazine, racks a round (this isn't stated - But - there is no other way to get that round in the barrel.
    Student playful shoots the instructor with a "dummy" round.

    There is so much about this story that is totally - wrong.

    It will become a lot clearer once the required brown envelopes change hands. ????

  2. For my “Retirement Visa” I put

    Baht 800.000 into my Thai bank on a months long visit when I set up the account in Hua Hin.
    Went back to UK, then returned 3 months later on a simple 30 day visa which I then changed 3 weeks later to a “Retirement Visa” showed money in bank with updated bank book. The bank gave me a letter when I got book updated without me even asking for one. 
    I occasionally took money out then put more money in to keep account seasoned, but never let it show less that 800K for more than a few days and always made sure it had 800K 3 months before renewing visa. 
    All 90 day reports were done by post and every year renew visa in BKK.

    The wife’s family (all 6 with Thai passports)  come to UK regularly on 6 month family visas and wife and son both have dual citizenship (Thai/British) and travel there with no problems at all. 
    Covid travel restrictions and requirements in both countries are changing by the day, so you shouldn’t have any problems.
    Good Luck.

    Full UK state pension is currently 179 pounds/week.

    Don't know how the OP got 185 pounds/week nearly 7 years back.

    They're currently thinking of raising the state pension age to 70.

    Imagine working as a lorry driver when you're 69 years old!

    I get £466.54 every 2 weeks, but I live in UK. That includes a protected payment over and above the Maximum state pension amount.

  4. Had a New Kia Soul First Edition since May 2021 in the UK and I’m more than happy with it, despite being a petrol head with some classic fully restored cars in the garages.  
    I only charge at home on cheap overnight electric (5p per kWh) and we’ve done around 13K miles since new. 
    we get around 300miles from a charge and regularly do 270mile journeys without charging anywhere. 
    Having lived in Thailand, I wouldn’t consider getting an EV there as the infrastructure is pretty much non existent. 
    We’ll keep it for 3 years, then trade it in for another model, depending on what new models come online then.
