  1. And all Trump needs to do is to tell Putin to stop the war, remove the Russian military from ALL of the Ukraine and share the rare earth minerals etc. Good luck with that little task. However, do NOT expect the USA to come to the rescue of the Ukraine. Oh Horlicks, I have just remembered that the USA, under Trump, has pulled out of the peace negotiations with Russia and the Ukraine.
  2. And what happens to ALL the NIC contributions that you and your employers were forced to pay in over the year?
  3. IMO smashing all the stuff up with a hammer will only lead yp a bigger pile of broken bits foe me to get rid of, and they will probably end up in a landfill and pollute the environment. Something that I really don't want to do, especially if anything can be salvaged, reused or resold by somebody else.
  4. IF a general election were called this month I think that Reform would win by default. IMHO neither the Labour or the Conservatives seem to have any policies that are attractive to the voters, the Lib-Dems and Greens don't seem to have any policies at all which doesn't leave any other options than Reform, who don't seem to be any better than the rest, but at least they cannot be blamed for for the state that the UK is currently in.
  5. I live in rural Kamphaeng Phet and have a similar problem. We have old mobile phones. a tablet, 2 old laptop PCs, an old desktop, old keyboards, mouse, 4 old UPS, cables, power supplies and I can find no way to dispose of them. I don't want to throw them in the trash as many of them still have the apps and probably some data on the as well. What can I do with them?
  6. Thank you. Mostly I speak the things that I feel and things that I hope that I can do something about. Things that I can do nothing about I tend to file under, things I wish I could do something about, but I know that I can't, and simply get on with life.
  7. I am not sure if he likes the truth or not, but IMHO he doesn't understand or even want to understand it, unless it comes from Trump, in which case it MUST be the truth, because Trump has said so.
  8. IMHO, I don't think that you would need a reciprocal agreement to pay into a UK bank. Again IMHO, there should be a requirement to upgrade ALL state pensions to the current level and a far better Dual Taxation Agreement (DTA) between the UK and Thailand confirming that income tax must always be paid to the country that it was earned in, and not the muddle that it is now. Having said that, I was never a civil servant in the UK HMRC, nor was I ever an expert on international taxation laws.
  9. We never had a problem adopting a kitten/cat. It turned up a few months ago meowing for food. My wife fed it and she adopted us. Now I am the one that feeds it in the morning and opens the kitchen door at odd times if the cat is hungry. She is an outside cat and very sociable but on her own independent terms.
  10. Obviously not as blind as you. having finished insulting me, try to explain what you mean. Sp you have no proof.
  11. Thus speaks the worlds most experienced currency trader and financial expert, with no links and nothing to back what he says, as usual. You must have far more experience than the whole of Moody's staff who do this for a living. Out of curiosity, just what financial experience do you have?
  12. It is much easier for the illegal Myanmar government to bomb, kill and injure innocent civilians, than it is for then to attack armed freedom resistance fighters who fight back.
  13. And naturally you, and you alone have proof of that. If you have the proof, then feel free to post it. If you don't have the proof, why are you whining? Just get on with your life and ignore the things that you cannot change and don't affect you personally.
  14. Looking at the video, it appears that the scooter had come to a complete halt and was waiting to turn right. I cannot see if she was indicating or not. The Honda was going very fast compared to other traffic earlier in the video, but did not appear to slow down or attempt to turn away from the scooter. How sad for the poor woman and her children. RIP.
  15. He reminds me of somebody screaming out to the world world, "Look at me, look at me. I am still here and I cannot be ignored". However he has been on my ignore list for quite a while, so the only time I see his posts are if somebody responds to him.
  16. OK. Start your thread and keep a check on the response and compare it to this thread.
  17. Probably because the UK political leaders are nowhere as near stupid as Trump. Plus most Brit posters understand about staying on the topic at hand, unlike you. Of course if you are a Brit there is absolute no reason why you shouldn't start a new thread about that topic, instead of trying to divert this topic.
  18. Please explain how you managed to reach that conclusion, which id completely at odds with the official AAIB conclusion? Were you on the investigation team? Do you have access to information that the investigators were not privy? Or are you spouting BS as many posters seem to do? How much aircraft accident investigation training have you had?
  19. Well I have paid NIC from 1959 until 2009 and I am STILL paying income tax on my pensions even now in 2025, and I am not anywhere near the top fifth of the UK taxpayers. Perhaps it should be pointed out that if all state pensions were unfrozen that there would be more taxes paid and more income to the Treasury.
  20. Gosh. Do you think that I should care when he goes into a huff? Sorry, but I truly think he is not worth it.
  21. And do you really think that anyone posting here on AN knows the answer to the question? Why not telephone or email Mark Carney in Canada? He should have a better idea than any of the posters here.
  22. His own as laid down by his master, D J Trump.
  23. I am sure that Ian Fleming, who wrote the 11 original James Bond books, from 1952 until his death in 1964, would be laughing at you as well.
  24. BS. I have lived in Thailand for 24 years and I have ALWAYS paid UK income tax since 1958 when I left school and started work until I retired in 2009 on my 65th birthday, and NO, YOU do NOT supply me with ANY healthcare in Thailand. How do I know that? Easy, as I went to the state hospital in Kamphaeng Phet, (where I am legally registered) this morning to get some more meds and my bill for a diabetes test and the meds came to 2,507 thb. Neither YOU or the UK government paid a single baht towards the bill. So STOP telling lies. If you cannot tell the truth. then why do you post BS.
