Dear Folks,
The answer is a resounding....YES!
Especially from my cultural perspective.
Yes, I do believe that Erin is one of the most attractive women alive today.
For one thing, she is not too young for me.
And, for another thing, she grew up in Maryland, which is not too far from The Main Line.
And so, it's all about culture.
I believe that our preferences for women, meaning the types of women we find super attractive, says more about us than it does about the women who turn us on.
And so, what is the type of woman that you find most attractive?
Unfortunately, I never found my Erin Burnett.
I know that there is still time.
But also, I realize that time is too short in this life.
Best regards,
Gamma
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But she is most definitely not the most sexiest woman alive today!

As a Brit,i think both Biden and Trump are insane.
As are most of the Yanks i have met in Thailand who squabble like schoolchildren when both mens names are mentioned.
So, so very true. Probably the most paranoid people on this planet.

I don't think that's correct - I am non resident but still have to declare it.
What you get is 5k plus 1k added to the personal allowance that you can earn in savings interest on top if the rest of your earnings are below the PA.
https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/savings/tax-free-savings/
if your interest was greater than that you are supposed to declare it
They haven't deducted at source for some (many) years now........
The amount of interest takes me above the 12,500 tax free sum. However I can only go by what my accountant and HMRC have told me. That is, I do not have to declare or pay tax on that amount in the UK.
As you mentioned, I think the total amount is around 17K GBP before tax is due in the UK. I am just below that threshold!

I find people that try to normalize a second Trump term pathetic. This really is a binary choice. Democracy vs. autocratic permanent one party maga rule. What a waste of all the lives of Americans through history who died to defend it. Trumpists are enthusiastically leading us off a cliff to destroy it forever. Once lost very unlikely to get it back.
Talk about twisting the facts. Yet again you accuse others of doing what the Dems have tried to do, but failed big time. Sorry but you are totally deranged. It's American like you that have ruined America. Given half the chance you would F....K the world also with your endless wars.
After the second world war, Americans lives were wasted on pointless wars that failed. Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Grenada, Libya, and not forgetting Ukraine! All these countries were/are in worse shape than before the US decided it had to police the world.
At least Trump has said he won't be starting any wars.

<removed> will become a must part of the curriculum for any student studying mental illness in the future.
The future of the mental illness curriculum will ask why how many people voted for a dotard, and by reason the faceless, unaccountable and dishonest people behind them, who would destroy their lives and enslave them, rather than someone who had already proved he will protect their freedoms and improve their lives.
Future generations will not believe that people can be so stupid and so easily manipulated by the flight or fight response, that humans all have !
After all, wasn't it the Nazi propaganda Minister Himmler who said " The greater the lie, the more believable it is"?
If you want to CONTROL a population then instil FEAR in them, create a Bogeyman, a MONSTER.
The Nazis used the Jews and other undesirables to sow fear and so negate any rational thought or reason in favour of pure emotion - HATE!
The Nazi's used HATRED and FEAR to manipulate and control the German population to allow them to do unspeakable acts.
There was no reason or rationality or truth but instead they played on fear to negate any form of reasoning or a rational examination of facts.
The people who believed their lies sanctioned them in the killing of millions of people and, as a result, they subsequently suffered terrible consequences.
OPEN YOUR MIND ! It's not about sides, RED or BLUE, its about seeking the TRUTH and applying rational thought not emotions.
Don't allow yourself to be driven by FEAR, those who would use your basic human fears to manipulate you do not have your interests at heart, they are using you.
Its NOT about RED or BLUE, but about whether YOU as a individual and citizen can get beyond your basic human instincts of tribal conflict (as they can't in Africa) and come to a rational, reasoned decision based on the facts and not the lies. Seek out the truth, don't believe the BS your spoon fed.
Rise above the lies and deception, become your own person, not a tool of others.
You should ask @Jingthing about this, he displays classic signs of what you mention!

I'm allowing for the possibility that it may not be true. But yes, it definitely is abuse. Biden is a sick individual on many levels.

33 minutes ago, Jingthing said:I get your point.
I cited Mary Trump who does know something.
Trump is never going to subject himself to clinical analysis.
You know that so there is no other way than observation of his behavior from the outside.
The same thing that the public did to Biden.
OK for Biden. Not OK for Trump. NO!
I would counter that with the diary of Biden's daughter, who suggested she was sexualised at an early age. That possibly Biden had showers with her, where abuse may have taken place!

Great info! Problems start to arise on numerous issues such as tax certificates need to be from foreign tax authority. If you receive a dividend you simply do not get a tax certificate from the tax authority, but from the bank only (withholding tax).
If that leaflet is everything they provide good riddance we are in some deep s...
I know this is Thailand so I am sure this is all we will get. Explanation on a primary school level with pictures instead of a definition of the allowed accounting standards.
I think it really depends. As a UK citizen All I get is my state pension. But I do have quite a lot of savings in a UK bank. HMRC have told me that as a non resident they will not tax the interest I get on those savings. Indeed the bank do not deduct tax on the interest.
To avoid double taxation you may need to apply for non resident status as far as UK taxes are concerned. Which then means any taxes due on dividends would be paid to the Thai Revenue Department. Besides that if you did have to pay UK taxes, you would be able to show a letter from HMRC stating how much tax was due.
It would mean jumping through hoops which is a pain. But is doable if approached right.

You really swallowed the democratic BS. There was no insurrection. Yet more lies created by the Dems to discredit Trump. Just like the Russia Russia hoax. Hillary still can't accept she lost on 2016, even to this day. That is how deranged the Dems have become.

Just now, Jingthing said:Speaking of insanity.
Trump recently dodged a bullet.
Truly an amazing case of good luck turning his head.
Now he's promoting the idea to his cult followers that he is annointed by God, chosen by God, proven by the missed bullet.
That is objectively insane and very dangerous.
Trump is an incredibly flawed criminal human being. Not the chosen one.
Not only is he insane, he's spreading his insanity intentionally to his cult.
Total Rubbish, you are blowing the whole thing out of all proportion.

Again there is an obvious DOUBLE STANDARD.
Medical issues such as with Joe Biden -- non stop chatter.
MENTAL issues such as with Trump -- some kind of taboo for the MSM.
We're talking about the most powerful office in the planet. There should be no taboos.
Actually he was a republican, But is now an independent. He's probably one of those RINO's. The thing is Joe Biden is visibly senile. Where as Conway is manufacturing a hit job on Trumps mental state, suggesting he is worse than Biden. It really is pathetic.

Just now, Jingthing said:Hannibal Lecter in a convention speech. Perfectly sane. Yeah, that's the ticket.
You really need to get over yourself. We can see that you really hate Trump, which say's more about you than Trump.
He said that in relation to the criminals that are allowed to cross into the USA, having committed a crime, get caught only for some Democratic Judge to release them so they can commit yet more crimes, raping and killing! So at least put it into some context.

This is such BS. It's easy to manipulate a video to get the result you want. George Conway is obviously a democrat stooge. It's quite pathetic the way they keep on attacking Trump. Sad the way some Americans fall for this rubbish. It obviously makes them feel better if they have someone they can hate!
The Democrats are showing just how bad losers they are. Biden will quit the race, and all they have is a woman who can't even string a coherent sentence together. They know they've lost this presidential race.
The real question is Will Kamala Harris be able to find a running mate who doesn't make her look stupid!

Surely that is irrelevant? The fact he survived to fight another day is what matters. So, yes they could become the biggest political dynasty in US history. All these trumped up criminal charges have and will fall away. They were never on solid ground to start with.

If you lose your UK passport too many times The passport office may refuse to issue you with a new one on the basis that you could be selling your passport on the black market for a few thousand pounds.

I think you will find that HMRC and DWP cannot communicate directly with each other. So it is highly unlikely that DWP will enquire about your residency status via HMRC.
However If I understand you correctly, you use a UK address as residency for pension purposes. All I'll say is, you better hope DWP never find out. As they will claw back funds which in their eyes was over paid due to you living in a country where you pension is frozen.

Enoch Powell was right about "rivers of blood flowing in the streets" He just got the ethnicity of those who's blood will flow wrong! There is going to be a big backlash against illegal migration. It's started already but will get worse. You can blame the idiot Politicians across Europe for this madness.

People said giving government agencies the right to look into our bank accounts without a court order was nonsense, but they passed that law this year. Why would they need to do that if not needing to check on wealth in reference to benefits? No benefits are paid if you have over 16k in savings, would not be surprised if they pegged pensions if you have over 100k.
That could have something to do with money laundering or potential fraud. As I mentioned in another post. Any government that tried to means test the state pension would lose the next election as pensioners are one of the biggest voting blocks in the UK. Even the DE admit it isn't likely to happen. It is just scare tactics from the Sh...te DE who are anti Labour.
The DE have a history of scare mongering, because they know their idiot readers swallow that crap hook line and sinker!
But, you believe what you like. Grumpy old men will always look for something to be negative about.

No problem, lol. I've met plenty of Americans and they are mostly paranoid. Believe me when I say I wish American military bases were not present on UK soil. Not so much looking out for Brits, more like an occupation! The Old saying, "Yanks go home" is very relevant!
