I certainly didn't mean to suggest you made the quote. I just highlighted the Catholic Priest and it came back as is when I clicked quote selection. Disclaimer, It was a post by @woof999 regarding who should get a parachute out of a selection of nine people of which a catholic priest was one choice!

Nothing complicated about it. Men and Boy's dressed as women or girls are not women or girls, they should not be allowed to compete against real women or girls in athletic sports. This trans thing is a mental disorder. People who allow such nonsense are even more twisted in the head. This sickness needs to stop.

He is not getting £1K/month pension, He only gets the state pension which is less that £600 per month due to the contributions he made during his working life. Plus he gets another 4000 per annum interest on the 150K about £337 per month, reducing as he sends more money to Thailand. So lets say £950 per month. What if he lives more than 10 years?

Is Donald Trying to Tank Joe's Stock Market?
CharlieKo replied to John Drake's topic in Political Soapbox
If Biden were to win in November (very doubtful) He is looking to go to war with China over Taiwan. Hoping they will react in such a way that the US could then retaliate. So the full scale disaster will happen because of Biden. -
The thing is when most hard working people get such an amount for the first time in their lives, they lose all reason and soon blow it all away. Very few have the sense to hold onto it and maybe try and grow that amount. As I mentioned earlier, I know a Brit who had 250K GBP. after three years he's left with less than 150K GBP. He's about 68 years old, and I wonder just how long that 150K will last before he has no option to return to the UK totally broke! So, yes it is a life changing amount, But that change can be a negative change which some don't see coming!

Who is giving 7.5% interest on 200K GBP?

I've been living in Thailand 17 years. And no it isn't a massive amount.

I'm not sure at 40 years of age he could apply for a 1 year Non O visa based on Marriage? Thought you had to be at least 55 years of age! And the current exchange rate mid market is 46.96 Baht to 1 GBP.

I know a British guy who sold up and came with his Thai wife to retire here, 2 years before he was due to collect his state pension. He had 250K GBP from the sale of his house when he arrived. This was 3 years ago. He now has less than 150K GBP. I wonder just how long that will last before he has no other option than to return to the UK penny less. He had already built a house some years ago. So OK these people can build their house for 47,000GBP Maybe buy themselves a nice new Pickup or sedan. But Just how long will 9 million baht last. I guess it's horses for courses! And the type of lifestyle one hope to have.

Actually, you could build a simple 2/3 bed house for about 750,000 Baht. In rural areas. Well below 47,000 GBP. Though I'm not sure how simple a 6 bed house you could get for 47,000 GBP which is about 2.2 million baht at current exchange rates.

OK I'll bite, Please tell me what is so idiotic about it?
-
Sorry but 200K GBP is hardly a life changing amount. Not even for Thailand. But I wish them luck.

Kamala Harris Surges as Top Choice to Replace Joe Biden, Poll Reveals
CharlieKo replied to Social Media's topic in World News
I'm sure he would debate her. She has never put a coherent sentence together any time I've seen her being interview. You said back to reality at the beginning of that post. You really don't seem to have gotten there yet, reality awaits your return. LOL. -

By doing the above. How can you justify it as saving the tax payer money! You obviously don't believe in democracy! -

First of all, Harris is no Hillary Clinton. Second. that sounds incredibly racist! It wasn't only black Americans who voted for Obama. -

From senile to dumb. Things are really getting worse for the USA if that or Trump is the choice. I guess Obama gets another 4 years as behind the scenes President if she wins! -
British-Thai couple ‘paws’ to save puppy from restaurant abuse

I have a feeling dog might be on the menu tonight. Of course there is a difference. Dogs were bread as companions for humans, and were used to hunt animals for food. It would be a sad world without dogs and cats.
