The Cyclist

Trump says Hi from New Hampshire Apparently the first time in history that a non incumbent president has won in both Iowa and New Hampshire. I think that tells it's own story.

I dont think you understood my post. But you may well be one of the ghosts https://www.theguardian.com/society/2024/jan/02/number-of-ghost-patients-registered-with-nhs-gps-up-two-thirds-since-2018

You didn't read about the 5.5 million ghost patients costing up to £950 million a year ? Google it

If you mean bank branch, any branch will do. I just updated my passport number about 2 weeks ago and I havent set foot in my original branch for at least 10 years. They also printed out an annual statement for me on the spot, 200 Baht, I have seen others saying that it takes them a week, so depends on which bank.

I'm expecting Hunt to lay some land mines at the March budget for a Labour Government to deal with. You might get lucky, unfreezing the State Pension would be a cracking land mine to lay.

Yes there is, 10 qualifying years on your National Insurance record to get any State Pension and 35 years to get the full State Pension. https://www.gov.uk/new-state-pension/how-its-calculated#:~:text=Your State Pension will be,the full new State Pension.

This is for Thai Nationals and Foreigners working legally in Thailand, or others who are gaining other income in Thailand through interest payments etc.

I beg to differ I have none of them, and I doubt I'm the only one.

I have admitted to being here for the comedy value as heads explode in direct relation to how Trumpty Dumpty does. Every vote he wins will see the frequency and intensity of the explosions increase. I dont really think that can be considered trolling.

Bingo Assessable income - File a tax return. No assessable income - No need to file a tax return. Until told otherwise, why put yourself on the radar. And we really need the Thai RD to have a lightbulb moment and issue guidelines. There is a reason that the International Tax Consultancies have been rather silent since 20 Nov

Thats what I thought - That is why I posted it, I didn't it had gone up.

I've just nipped to 7/ 11 and bought a carton of Dutch Mill @ 95 Baht. Has that went up in price ? I thought 95 baht was the usual price.

I would hazard a guess that your daughter, being the sender, would need to initiate any contact to find out where the money is. The start point would be where she initiated the transfer.

Which generally turns out to be the case. Do not be surprised if you see * A whole new Section ( eventually ) being added to the Revenue Code. * Rather than the reported amendment to the tax filing form, a seperate form is produced covering International transfers to Thailand / income remitted to Thailand, or whatever name they give it.

Thanks for that, I've only been using skype for about 16 years. I do occasionally have to make calls that cannot be made over skype. Which I already stated in response to another poster.

And if you had read the rest of my posts, you would have seen I dont. I'm only here for the comedy value when the Starts in earnest

Illegal Migration. I find it interesting that the ones actually in Thailand are not marching at the IDC in sandwich boards and megaphones demanding the release of the illegals held in the IDC. Legal migration. I also find it interesting that they cannot put forward a cogent arguments on * How to build a city the size of Manchester every year. * The associated infrastructure, Schools, Hospitals, Staffing etc. * Who funds it * Cry over the raising of the financial threshold from £18,000 to £28,000. Can you live in the UK on £18,000 a year as a new arrival. Or does that mean handing out more taxpayers money on top up benefits ? * The list is endless.

No it wasn't me It was a quote from an article in Politico A poll, reported in Politico, not me. Clear and concise for you.

Do I Have another go Perhaps you could take the time to read, digest and comprehend this part of my comment And you can keep hitting the stupid face icon all you like, by doing so, it speaks volumes.

What has that got to do with, which doesn't apply to illegals. Do you want to explain to me how this is sustainable ? And who is going to pay for all the associated infrastructure ? Strawmen, soundbites and rhetoric are not answer or solutions, and they will certainly not induce debate. You want to try again, or slope off skulking ?

Nothing odd about it. £18k was far too cheap for entry to the UK. And a Net inflow of legal immigration comparible to a city the size of Manchester every year is not sustainable. If you really want to debate the issue, you will need to come up with something way more substantial than you have so far.

Goodness gracious me, your knickers really are in a twist. The difference being, I dont claim to be super intelligent. Just smart enough to retire at an early age.

You tried conflating legal immigration with legal immigration A common tactic your type. When you tried to stereotype me yesterday, it will come back at you in spades.

You are accusing others of doing exactly what you are doing It is quite simple Illegal migration is the issue, not legal migration. And it will be way more than Tory voters who are concerned about it. No need to come back with any strawmen.

Just like you do. Legal Immigration Illegal immigration https://www.politico.eu/article/stop-the-boats-now-second-biggest-concern-of-tory-voters-poll/
