He's going to the big house, at some point he has to.

Is there a reason why you specifically need bi-focals, vari-focals have long been regarded as their replacement in most countries for well over a decade?

"Finland Who Wants to be a Millionaire question 55555" They must be long competitions!

I think it's truly great that you spend every waking minute of your life thinking only about others, you're an inspiration to us all. That said, when we do encounter these rare circumstances in life that are thrust upon us, not of our making and not of our choosing, observing the upside doesn't make us the devil incarnate and mean that we also don't care about all other beings! Having said that, I'm not too fond of the Welsh nor what happens to them, same with the population of Ohio.

"often", not "always".

Come on now, you've shown you're smarter than that! Ergo, the contribution is so small, in the context of the economy, that it is a negligible contribution of virtually no significance. Don't make me explain simple things again or we can't be friends.

Not to be pedantic but the bank will only return your ATM card to you if it is embossed with your name, many are not, otherwise it is returned to the bank head office which can be a laborious and time consuming process.

Sort of! Money that is earned in the year that it is remitted here is taxable, earnings older than one year are not.

Ditto (or very similar).

Those things are a contribution but then again they aren't, they are so small as to almost make the overstayer an overhead when the authorities time is factored in. You'd be hard pressed to make an economics case that the overstayer benefits the economy.

And is largely the reason why the government began to require medical insurance for foreigner visa's. At one point a few years ago, the government hospital reported that unpaid hospitals bills incurred by illegal Burmese workers had decimated their budgets. At the time there was estimated to be over 300,000 illegals workers on Phuket, engaged in the construction and fishing industries.

You cracking up and them cracking down is not the same thing. ????

All a red notice does is to alert and request assistance from foreign governments in the apprehension of person who is wanted, if they come across him. It is not a plea for them to go out and track him down..

Two of them were axe murderers, the third a terrorist who had swallowed an IED, people just don't realize.

I personally will never ever use any ophthalmologist apart from specialists at Rutnin, following a torn retina, followed by mis diagnosis, interspersed by some seriously unprofessional game playing, on the part of a senior ophthalmologist and a private hospital in the North.

There are less than 1,500 licensed and qualified optometrists in Thailand and nearly all of them own their own businesses, hardly any work for high street/shopping mall eye glass stores. The people you have seen when you've visited eye glass shops in Thailand are not optometrists, almost certainly. https://he01.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/CMMJ-MedCMJ/article/view/144499

Not so much as a peep, apart from the occasional shout of YYYEEEEESSSSSS!

I use the Quick Wash cycle but don't add any softener, it works for me.

Bicker bicker bicker.......????

Our neighborhood is over 70% Chinese and the most senior cop here is very very senior, he's the one building the houses for them to buy and live in, go figure.

We had it all for a couple of years, it was great.

I agree, hotels were cheaper too.

Here, educate yourself in the way of the Orient. https://thebkf.net/meanings-of-8-common-asian-gang-tattoos/
