Let me re-phrase the question. When a """THAI""" person gets a credit card how much is the annual fee. That is a """THAI""" person. For the record I have absolutely no intention of getting a Thai credit card. Repeat """""I""""" am not getting a Thai credit card.

I have no intention of getting a credit card. I just want to know why the gf thinks that I will fall for her claiming her annual fee is 6000 baht.

Where did I say that I wanted to get one. I have no intention of getting one but I want to know what the annual fee is. Why is that such a problem?

Israel, the last place on Earth I would want to go to. Japan would be nice but I think immigration might be a bit difficult.

When he came up on Google I immediately thought of Gordon Ramsey

Starred in the Roy Orbison story as Roy Orbison. Never heard of the film either.

I remember when taught in college about machining PTFE. Never smoke when machining PTFE. Something to do with fumes inhaled through a cigarette produced hydroflouric acid in the lungs and killed you.

I can't believe the BS that the Government are trotting out to justify this. It will protect out boarders and stop illegal immigration. You mean like a passport should. It will stop illegal migrants from working. What dumb ass came up with that one? At the moment every new employee has to show their passport, if they have one, to show their right to work. So why are so many illegal immigrants able to find work. Because some employers are acting illegally not doing checks and knowingly employing illegals. How the f*** does digital ID get around that one?

In the UK, unless it is some super duper exclusive credit card, there is no annual fee. Is it normal for a Thai credit card to charge an annual fee and how much is it usually?

Why does stainless steel need protective treatment? But a stainless steel handle on a fridge door does seem over kill.

Anybody who has sponsored a Thai wife on a spousal visa will tell you that any migrant on a visa whose first language is not English must pass an English test. So surely everybody applying for benefits of any sort must surely be able to communicate in English.

Jenson Interceptor. Now we are talking. One of the renovation programmes did an Interceptor.

Purists would whine about the Rover V8 in a Stag. They put the Ford V6 in the NSU Ro 80. That would have been a nice car. Styling way ahead of its time. A friend of mine had a Stag with the Rover engine. He didn't want the hassle of the Triumph engine. Although all the car renovation programmes that have done a Stag stick with the Triumph engine. Was it something to do with a misplaced water pump because the V8 is basically a 4 cylinder Dolomite engine with an extra bank of cylinders. The pump is near the top of the engine or something then suffers if the water level is low. Is that right? That and diabolical build quality at the factory.

Out of interest, is a kit car subject to high import charges?

Rover V8 or Triumph V8?

I happened to see this today about the Stratus strain https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/covid-symptoms-2025-stratus-new-variant-strain-xfg-b2805973.html

In got an updated booster a year ago in the UK. I hope there will be a booster when I get the winter flu jab in a couple of weeks. There was a new variant around a year ago so seems you need at least one booster.

I will have a look.

I have always thought about driving up the Western border from Mae Sot to Mae Hong Son via Mae Sariang then to Chiang Mai on the Mae Hong Son loop. You have Mae Moei NP, Mae Ngao NP and Salawin NP plus some nature reserves so sounds more like a week long trip. Anybody done this and have any recommendations?

It is already destroyed.

Then he did a rubbish job didn't he. He lead the country into the mess that he created then passed it over to others to sort out. Great job. The mess that followed is directly down to him.. Sheer arrogance to think it inconceivable that there would be a vote to leave.

Where were they living when they were in France? I bet it wasn't in hotels. If living in tents or containers was good enough for them in France why not the same in England? And before anybody says duty of care, that goes for France also.

Really? I don't recall endless demos calling for the UK to leave. The referendum was purely due to DC placating the looney fringe in the Tory party. Oh yea and there was an absolutely over whelming vote to leave. Then DC ***ked off. This is about bad PMs and DC is right up there with the worst.

Most of the problems that have beset to UK can be put down to one person, David Cameron. Every thing after his damn stupid idea to have a referendum, purely to placate the blue rinse fringe in the Conservative party. And as soon as the vote did my go the way he thought he promptly effed off. Every PM since then has been useless. Some far more than others, BJ and LT to name the worst. Starmer is just a continuation of second rate leaders. The joke is DC gave us the referendum to see off UKIP and the Tories finished up caving in to Reform. Now Corbin is starting a left wing party that will suck the vote from disgruntled Labour voters. The next election will be Corbin's party verses reform with the Tories and Labour sitting on the sidelines.
