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.

Obviously not as blind as you. having finished insulting me, try to explain what you mean. Sp you have no proof.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

OK. Start your thread and keep a check on the response and compare it to this thread.

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.

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?

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.

Gosh. Do you think that I should care when he goes into a huff? Sorry, but I truly think he is not worth it.

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.

His own as laid down by his master, D J Trump.

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.

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.

Usual Trump supporter bluster. Might, perhaps, maybe, but little substance. A bit like the "I have done deals with over 200 countries", but I won't tell you which countries.

The office of the president is generally respected. The occupant of that office however has to earn and deserve respect. Trump does neither. Also, who does Camaroni think he is. Respect is a 2 way function, and Camaroni has certainly shown NO respect at all for ex President Biden.

Anybody that did any research before coming to Thailand would have known that. In addition the other factor to take into consideration is the Forex rate which changes daily and in many cases more than once a day.

Perhaps you could do a search on the internet and find out. I did. When was the UK bereavement benefit stopped in Thailand for UK pensioners? AI Overview Learn more The changes to UK bereavement benefits, affecting UK pensioners and their spouses, came into effect in April 2017. This change, primarily impacting widows and widowers, introduced the "Bereavement Support Payment" and altered the rules for inheriting state pensions. Here's a breakdown: Before April 2017: Widows and widowers could inherit a portion of their deceased spouse's state pension, depending on the circumstances. After April 2017: A new "Bereavement Support Payment" was introduced, replacing the previous widow's pension and bereavement allowance. This payment is a lump sum and a series of monthly payments, but it's not based on the deceased spouse's state pension. Impact on Thai women: The changes meant that Thai women marrying British men after April 2017 may no longer be able to inherit their husband's state pension if they don't have enough National Insurance contributions in their own right. I married my Thai wife 25 years ago today and the last time that I looked a few years ago she would not receive any Bereavement Support Payment nor any portion of my state pension.

AFAIK, and I did research it a few years ago, if your wife has never lived in the UK, has never paid national insurance contributions in her own name and has no no national insurance number, then she is not entitled to a UK state pension, and your state pension dies when you die. It may have changed in the intervening years, but I don't think that it has. There used to be a bereavement grant paid to all UK pensioners widows, but that was stopped, at least in Thailand, many years ago.

And do US citizens get any tax free allowances or deductions that can be offset against tax payable?

Whilst I agree with your conclusion, I would have suggest that he was foolish more than a moron. quote from the OP 2 hours ago, webfact said: At 70, the former banker relies on a weekly £137 (6,150 baht) after a SERPS top-up, opposed to the current UK basic pension of £176.45 (7,880 baht). In Thailand, one of many countries on the UK’s 'frozen pensions' list, Lee and others see their pensions diminish amidst rising costs. As a former banker he should have known better

The frozen pension rule, (not a law) has been in effect since 1947 and any expat retiring to Thailand should have known that if they had done any research before moving ro Thailand to retire. I am 80 and I still pay income tax in the UK even though I paid national insurance contributions for 44 years. The only legal way NOT to pay income tax that I know of is when your ONLY UK income is below the GBP 12,500 tax free threshold. The internet has been up and running for more than 10 years. Before that, and even now the DWP and/or HMRC could have told him that his pension would be frozen from the day he moved to Thailand, IF he had bothered to ask. As an alternative, TVF would have told him the same thing 10 years or more ago.
