  1. And then where would they buy somewhere to live with that $1million. Are you truly that stupid? Oh wait! You are a rabid Trump supporter.
  2. Sadly for the USA and the world, it does matter. Unfortunately he is one of the lunatics running the asylum, called the USA nowadays.
  3. At the same time Thailand will be wasting billions of litres of irreplaceable water. snip from the OP "the initiative highlights Thailand’s rich culture and New Year traditions, reinforcing its position as a top travel destination during the festive season". Songkran in its current manner actually bears little or no commonality with the real culture and tradition of the original Songkran. It is simply a way of making money.
  4. Does anyone, other than Trump supporters believe anything that Musk says?
  5. Try researching before you post. Europe is NOT just one country, but 50 different countries including Russia. Here is a link for you. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europe Europe covers approx. 10,186,000 square kilometres (3,933,000 sq mi), or 2% of Earth's surface (6.8% of Earth's land area), making it the second-smallest continent (using the seven-continent model). Politically, Europe is divided into about fifty sovereign states, of which Russia is the largest and most populous, spanning 39% of the continent and comprising 15% of its population. Europe had a total population of about 745 million (about 10% of the world population) in 2021; the third-largest after Asia and Africa.
  6. She reminds me of an old BBC radio show broadcast from 1946 to 1960 called "Take it from here" That is what she is doing. Take it from Here and put it there, then take it from there and put it somewhere else. It is not new or extra money, just reshuffled money.
  7. How would you know whether or not I forgot Pita? Was he standing for election? If you have read and understood the constitution, you would know that the PP were given the option of forming the government. That they could not and the reason behind it are nothing to do with the legality or not of the current government. As they could not form a workable government, the party with the next highest elected was given the option, in line with the constitution and the law. If that party could not form a government, then the next party in line would have been given the option. I am not sure how many times that can happen before a new election would have to be called. Strangely enough I had noticed that Thailand is not the USA. However I was responding to another poster @spidermike007 who may not be aware of the rules.
  8. Seriously? A;; you need to do is to is to provide serious links and proof of what you claim. If you cannot, why should I believe you? You, like me, and all the other posters here are simply an anonymous voice on a small English language forum in Thailand.
  9. Actually it is a legally elected government. PPP which had more elected MPs, was given the first choice of electing a majority coalition government. Unfortunately together with their partners they still could not form a majority government. After a period of time (30 days I think) the option to form a coalition government went to the party with the next highest number of elected MPs, (as laid down in the current and previous constitutions). In this case it was the PTP who could, and did form a majority coalition government. In Thailand, and in many other countries it is not necessarily the first past the post party which forms the government, nor is it, as in the USA that the electoral college decides who is the winner.
  10. And of course you have the proof of all this and you will publish it when? It is easy to make allegations whilst being an anonymous keyboard entity, but actually backing things up with actual verifiable proof is not quite the same thing.
  11. TBH I don't trust either of them as far as I can throw the Royal Albert hall left handed. However that is just my opinion, and I am sure that other posters will agree or disagree with me.
  12. However as a Thai national (she will be 60 in October) she will also be entitled to the standard 150,000 baht exempted income, and probably the age allowance of 190,000 baht.
  13. I went to this link https://www.gov.uk/guidance/claim-personal-allowances-and-tax-refunds-if-you-live-abroad which is the link to HMRC form R43 and followed it along as far as I could and it seems as though my wife should be entitled to the UK tax free allowance, plus it looks as though she will not have to pay any income tax on my pensions at all.
  14. Thank you. I did not know that. The pensions combined will not exceed the current tax free allowance (unless that changes or is cancelled).
  15. Mathematics from the MAGA school of accounting.
  16. And you have the proof that President Zelenskyy has an unaccounted slush fund? Well if you do have the proof, then post it and prove it. Otherwise it is just another unsubstantiated allegation from an anonymous keyboard user and totally meaningless.
  17. I believe that Zelenskyy does want peace. Just NOT on Trump or Russia's terms whicj involves the complete surrender of the Ukraine.
  18. That is interesting to know. When I die my state pension dies with me but my wife is entitled to 50% of my military pension and 50% of my company pension. However she has never lived in the UK, nor has she worked there and she does not have a National Insurance number. I/We have been assuming that she will receive the full 50% of each and pay no UK oncome tax. Could I be incorrect in my thinking?
  19. He is so much of a clown that he has been re-elected for a third time. What have you achieved so far in your life?
  20. But peace between whom, brokered by whom and on what terms. If both sides that are at war are NOT included in the peace talks, how can there be any peace talks, or peace for that matter? Talk is cheap, peace always comes with a price tag to one side or the other.
  21. Try typing "how many double decker bus crashes in the world" into a search engine and see how many results you get. It is called searching internet news for results. There are dozens of them.
  22. We have a cat like that. It liked it so much that the scrawny kitten adopted us and is now a sociable cat, but only on its own terms. It loves me in the morning because I feed it, after which I am ignored until it is hungry again. It likes my wife and other people, is ignored by my neighbours dogs, and detests their 2 cats who are always trying to steal its food, unless I am on guard duty.
  23. Actually there are some really stupid people in Thailand who do keep a lion as a pet. I don't think that I would sant to take one of them for walkies though.
