  1. So you and Trump have something in common: incapable of reading more than a paragraph or two.
  2. It's in the name: chicken balls. Only made from parts of male chickens which are a.k.a. cocks.
  3. In the past these sorts of changes have been grandfathered. Probably nothing to worry about for people already with a visa, even if these rumours are true.
  4. At 224 lb and height of 6'3" he's a fine specimen of humanity. Plus he can ace an incredibly challenging cognitive ability test. He'll be around for a while yet. Let's hope he lives long enough to find himself behind bars. That said, the moment he finds himself in a courtroom he'll undoubtedly suddenly develop the need for a wheelchair and claim dementia.
  5. Trump should do the world a favour and get rid of another menace, himself.
  6. I believe that only applies to people in the UK. Those living abroad can't pay on line.
  7. That's shown when you check your National Insurance record online.
  8. My attempt to pay voluntary NI contributions hasn't gone smoothly. Last October I 'phoned the Future Pension Centre. They checked my record and told me to complete the online form "Apply to pay voluntary National Insurance contributions when abroad", which I did. I then checked when I could expect to receive a reply, and discovered it would be in January. In March I submitted a complaint saying that I hadn't received a response. After a bit of toing and froing I got details of the bank account through which I would pay and told to give my NI number and name as the reference - no PIN number. Now they've got my money, how are they going to know which years to allocate it to? And how should the process have worked? Any thoughts? Thanks
  9. It sounds like she's not trading in shares, but in some sort of high risk derivative - maybe options or CFDs (contracts for difference)*. This is totally inappropriate for someone of limited means and experience. It might be safer to wait until the casino is built here and put your entire life savings on "red". She needs to stop this nonsense and channel her energies into finding some small business opportunity that will give her an income. * I can't however, square that with "you win or lose after a fixed time, in her case a ridiculous 1 minute." Perhaps she's on some extremely dodgy gambling website, gambling on very short term stock price movements?
  10. Extract from https://tdac.immigration.go.th/arrival-card/#/home Sorry, your quote it seemingly irrelevant. My query was about doing the first 90 day report after reentering the country in person. I hate wasting hours of my life driving to Chaengwattana for a process that only takes a few minutes.
  11. You're missing the point. The Immigration arrival system used to be linked to the 90 day reporting system, so Immigration would know when a 90 day report was due, and one could do the report online. They "upgraded" their systems sometime ago, and the link was broken. Since then the first 90 day report after reentering the country has to be done in person, which is a pain. I'd rather hoped that with the new system the link would be restored and one would be able to do such reports again online.
  12. Does this mean that we'll no longer have to do the first 90 day report upon reentering the country in person? I.e. is this system linked to the system for TM47 reports?
  13. In other words, they teach the morality of Islam, of jihad and of Mohammed, the vile, mass murdering rapist. Precisely how is rewarding teachers for doing this going to lead to peace? Surely it would be far better to sack the lot of them and replace them with secular educators.
  14. The name field only accepts characters A-Z. This would appear to be to keep Elon Musk's children out of the country since neither Exa Dark Sideræl or X Æ A-Xii is permissible. It would also bar all Europeans with umlauts, tildes and accents in their names.
  15. Definitely time for France to reclaim the Statue of Liberty.
  16. Sorry. I didn't know you were a pauper.
  17. I'm pretty sure that "are you a lard-arse" is not one of the questions when you book a flight. How, then would they know that the individual is corpulently challenged and needs two seats?
  18. Yup. Full list at https://destinasian.com/readers-choice-awards/2025-winners/best-airports
  19. Suffering from memory loss? Weren't there some issues between Catholics and Protestants in Northern Ireland, not that long ago? Some three and a half thousand dead?
  20. Why would you want to do that? The paperwork requirements for an extension based upon marriage are much more onerous than based on retirement. Plus you'd have to drag your spouse to Immigration each time.
  21. Nope. These ETFs work on a daily price movement. If the index falls 10% over a month, these ETFs will almost always not rise 10%. The actual rise/fall will depend upon how jagged the index has been over the period.
  22. Have you tried asking the UK government anything in the last few years? Kept hanging on the 'phone for ages, then cut off. It's ludicrous.
