If a person is resident for tax purposes they are taxed on their worldwide income, if non-resident they are are only taxed on income arising in the UK, subject of course to the limitations of the personal allowance - ergo, interest income that is earned offshore whilst non-UK resident for tax purposes is not taxable in the UK.

Some income (interest and dividends) arising in the UK is also exempt, by concession. Non-residents who also have taxable UK income may find the concession somewhat less generous, but I have no taxable UK income and so am very happy with it.

Whilst it's the case that for non-residents no further tax is due on dividend income (beyond the 10% tax which is automatically deducted from dividend payments) even if one is a higher rate tax payer, there is no concession for interest payments. All interest is taxable, unless from within a tax-privileged accounts such as an ISA. It is possible in some cases for interest to be paid gross, but once you pass the £10,600 tax threshold you have to pay tax upon it.

It might be funny if it were true. Octopus is plaaˑ​mʉ̀kˑ​yák

But then, English speakers refer to "cuttlefish", which really doesn't look much like any normal fish.

Any supermarket will have those fish canned in chilli sauce and canned in teriyaki sauce.

Assuming this appeared within a matter of minutes, it's a swarm.

The bees will have gorged themselves with honey before leaving their previous home, so will be pretty docile.

They are now sending out scouts to find a new permanent home and should be gone within 24 hours. However, if they haven't found a new home by that time they'll start to become hungry and potentially aggressive if disturbed.

Am I right in thinking that commission rebates within a QROPS are now subject to UK income tax, and that the tax deducted can't be reclaimed?

Specifically this is for a Guernsey QROPS with the investments held in a GIA within a UK wrap account.

From thai-language.com: "to ask for a kick in the pants; bring trouble upon one’s self; to "mess with" someone; you're yanking my chain; you're sure stirring things up; you're cruising for a bruising; you're being cheeky".

thank you, but i do not have a Apple's device. so i cannot download it. if you have files, send to me please.

You can use iTunes on a Windows PC.

The files are copyright. It would be illegal for anyone to share them.

I've done a fair bit of academic proof reading (Ph.D. theses, papers) for non-native English speakers (mostly Malaysian and Indian). My one foray into do the same for Thai people was to agree to proof read the thesis abstracts for a class of MBA students (the theses themselves were in Thai). Never again! Most of them were utterly incomprehensible. To make any sense of them I ended up having to refer to the Thai originals.

It says six posts under the OP's avatar - but there's only this post under his profile. It couldn't possibly be that the other five have been deleted for spamming, could it?

In your situation the first thing I'd try is dividing the dose: half with breakfast, half with dinner. Always take with food; never on an empty stomach.

OP, I'd forgotten your previous topic on this subject. There it was very unclear that you even had warts. You did write "That Dr never clearly saw a wart, and the 2 dermatologists I saw at Samitiwej never saw a wart. At no point did *I* clearly see a wart." So, did you ever get a definitive diagnosis of having warts?

I'd suggest definitely staying away from any treatment until you can go back to a dermatologist and get a proper diagnosis. (Your previous attempts at self-treatment probably only made diagnosis harder.)

If the skin is unbroken and uninflamed, you could probably see a dermatologist now to get an decent opinion.

If you really want speed you will need a router or AP that can use both 2.4 and the 5 GHz bands.

Not really. No normal client is going to be able to use both bands simultaneously, which theoretically would give an increase in throughput.

The (marginal) benefit of the 5 GHz band is that it's less congested than the 2.4 GHz band should you find yourself competing with neighbours for bandwidth.

The big increase in throughput will come from selecting a IEEE 802.11ac spec router, rather than the more common 802.11n spec. Of course, that presumes the client(s) support 802.11ac.

I have no obvious/definitive wart currently (other than the 2 scabs I am waiting to fall off). But I have some white spots under my skin that look *exactly* like a white spot that turned into a wart - and I had it cryo'd on Monday.

So - I did apply Aldara last night. It was white coming out of the package - but looks more clear/milky once applied on my skin. It did not irritate me at all - so I am not sure what the vaseline comments are about. Did I not put on enough? (ie - should it... hurt?)

I opened it with scissors and sealed it with scotch tape (a tip I got from the internet - not my Dr).

Why on earth did you apply Aldara to what is otherwise healthy skin?

Aldara should be applied to a wart (or other nasty) so that the body can recognise it as foreign. It should not be applied to normal skin. Wait until the wart (if that's what it is) emerges.

The Vaseline comments are about making sure it doesn't get on normal skin.

It should not hurt if applied correctly. After all, warts don't contain nerve cells.

The best beer (beer country) and is there a God, are two questions that cannot be answered as a matter of proof.

Das Pilsener (German - Windhoek)

Windhoek Lager (German - Windhoek)

Excuse my ignorance, but how can something from Windhoek (which if my geography is correct is in Namibia) be German?

Oh, and the question about "is there a God", that's hardly a matter for debate: the answer is unequivocally "no". It's pretty safe to conclude that for things for which there's no evidence whatsoever - pixies, fairies, angels, unicorns, leprechauns, ghosts, Eskimos, gods - they simply doesn't exist. The existence of a god is about as likely as Budweiser's producing a decent beer.

The Dr did give me the M/W/F-style schedule, should I ever want/need to use the cream. But other than that - I am stuck with the internet on advice on how open the packet, seal the packet, how much to apply, etc. (that is - without booking another appointment just to ask them to demonstrate)

Cut off the corner of the packet. Squeeze a tiny amount onto a saucer (or something similar). Use the head of a pin to pick up a small amount of the cream. Use the pin head to smear the cream onto the wart (and nowhere else).

Pop the opened packet into a small ziplock bag and keep it in the fridge.

Just don't expect miracles. It didn't work for me.

Does anybody know if Vietnam produces any brand beer that's any good?

There's a distinction between medical information and medical advice.

The information on the Internet is necessarily generalised.

The individual patient requires personalised, specific advice. For that, one's doctor is the best source.

Indeed, the perils of relying on the Internet are illustrated by statements such as "not normally used more than 5 days in a row". The "normally used" here refers specifically to (I'm guessing) for basal cell carcinoma. "Normally used" for genital warts is rather different. In other words, there's no universal "normally used". (That's not meant to be an attack of any sort, but just an illustration of how easily information can be misinterpreted.)

As said not normally used more than 5 days in a row and washed off in morning after evening application (in my use). There are a number of methods mentioned on internet for usage.

For warts in the genital area (which I think is what the OP's describing), usually it's used 3 times a week (e.g. Monday, Wednesday, Friday) - definitely not 5 days in a row.

And I really wouldn't recommend the Internet as a source of medical advice. One should trust one's doctor. And if one can't, change doctor.

Aldara does not burn the wart out. It simply helps the immune system recognise the wart as "foreign", and so attack it.

If used correctly - not too frequently, not too much, avoiding sensitive skin, only applying to unbroken skin, and avoiding sunlight, then there won't be any nasty side effects; the Internet horror stories are from people who did not use it correctly.

Check what kind of cable comes into the router.

If it's a coax cable I think you're going to find it nigh on impossible to find a replacement router here.

How can the EU influence laws of non-EU countries?

It can't.

The title is totally misleading. The story has nothing to do with Thailand.

It's about European expats working in another European country and who haven't made a valid will.

Location?

Well, here's what the doctor yesterday said I needed:

Hepatitis A

Hepatitis B

Japanese Encephalitis

Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR)

Pneumococcus (IPD)

Tetanus-Diphtheria-Pertussis (Tdap)

Typoid

Varicella

and later in the year

Influenza.

The one thing I didn't need, apparently, was Rabies since I'd had a full course of pre-exposure jabs 12 years ago.
