Ex-UK pilots lured to help Chinese military, MoD says
billd766 replied to Scott's topic in World News
Ex fighter pilots in their late 40s and early 50s have a limited shelf life. A lot get hired by the Gulf countries, but the airlines are not hiring many and the cost of a CPL, aircraft type certified, is high. It is a cross between loyalty to your country and loyalty to your family who after all need your financial support to survive. -

House January 6 committee votes to subpoena Trump during Thursday’s hearing

There is also the possibility that the Republicans will not win back the control of the house. Then what will happen? The best poll is an election where every registered voter gets a say and they are the ones who will do the choosing. -
Is it possible to block Windows Explorer and still use Windows 10 normally? I use a 4 port USB extender, and WE keeps dropping it out then putting it back again. I HATE Windows fracking 10 and Windows Explorer. I buggered my right arm up a week so I am working left handed and typing with 1 finger, and it is very frustrating.

But it is the choice of this government and not necessarily that of the Thai people. Easy to say, but not so easy to do. Of course the invader, Putin, could admit that he has lost, surrender, and pull out from ALL Russian occupied Ukraine including the Crimea, Donbass etc and pay reparations. It could happen but NOT under Putin.

I agree with you, but with Wise I get a better forex rate than KBank, I know before I transfer exactly the forex rate I will get, the exact amount to the satang, the day and time it will arrive at BBK bank. With KBank transfers I only knew roughly which week it would turn up, how much I would get and I would be reliant on the time and day of KBank forex.

It does to me. I transfer the funds for living in Thailand and it shows up as an FTT on my bankbook and statement proving that the funds came from offshore. I could do the same with KBank but then I would have to get the head office to send me 37 separate conformations of payment per year. Try to remember what works for one person does no always work for everybody. I made a small spreadsheet that tells me when I get paid by Wise n the UK, when it is due in Thailand, adjustable for bank holidays, how much I transfer and the forex rate given. It makes MY life easy. Why do you care? it works for me. Why?

It must be wonderful to sit anonymously behind a keyboard, and speak on behalf of millions of people and to say what YOU think that they should be saying. Especially when you have NO idea of their thoughts and feelings. Even more so, when you don't even KNOW millions of Americans. I am a Brit and of the 70 million Brits i would be hard pushed to be able to name, and thus know more than about 350 people personally. Nor would i have the temerity to speak for them. -
I live in Thailand so I do mine in Thai time. I generally get notified in the afternoons and transfer from Wise then. Any transfer I make on a Friday does not arrive until Monday about 2 pm. Unfortunately my state pension always arrivers every 4th Friday,

But can you do an international transfer when the Thai banks are closed?

I have a Wise Borderless account and I transferred GBP 730 at 5; 15 pm this evening. by the time that I had completed the paperwork which took me 3 or 4 minutes, Wise told me that it would be in my BBK account at 2;13 on Monday. Thai banks are closed at the weekends and Thai public and today is a public holiday. ;

Extension of Stay based upon Marriage
billd766 replied to spetersen's topic in Thai Visas, Residency, and Work Permits
I am due a marriage visa extension in the next 10 days. I am 78 and I slipped on some water soaked concrete on Monday and cracked my right elbow and bashed my ribs, I have done about half the application but the worst part is that I am right handed and I am now reduced to typing with one finger left handed. Do you think that Immigration will give me 2 week extension as I cannot sign my signature left handed. My wife called them today but they were closed for the holiday. -

Newin Chidchob: The kingmaker of Thai politics returns as election looms

Have you thought about how those countries became members of the Warsaw Pact originally? A clue would be that Russia invaded and annexed those countries during the course of WW2. When the Warsaw Pact finally collapsed those countries were free to choose their own course, and there was NO Russian military stationed in the country any more to force them to toe the Russian line. Please tell us all how, in your opinion, NATO inched its way towards the east. Did NATO knock on the doors of each former Warsaw pact country and threaten to invade them unless they joined NATO. Perhaps each of the countries individually approached NATO and asked to join NATO? https://www.nato.int/cps/en/natolive/topics_49212.htm#:~:text=NATO's “open door policy” is,a say in such deliberations. NATO’s “open door policy” is based on Article 10 of its founding treaty. Any decision to invite a country to join the Alliance is taken by the North Atlantic Council on the basis of consensus among all Allies. No third country has a say in such deliberations. NATO’s ongoing enlargement process poses no threat to any country. It is aimed at promoting stability and cooperation, at building a Europe whole and free, united in peace, democracy and common values.

I know that feeling very well. My state pension is about 28% and will die with me. However my wife will get a % of my military pension and a % of my company pensions until she dies. After that my son gets the lot but the pensions die with my wife.
