It's small, and the hills are very, very steep.

They will take you wherever you want to go, but you'll probably be paying extra. Can't imagine a taxi would be significantly cheaper, but who knows these days. If you don't have a big bag there used to be m'bike taxis. Don't take the wrong, expensive ferry.

I used to be permanently in debt till 35 when I cut up my credit card and never in debt since. Gotta watch out for those <deleted> bankers that keep increasing debt allowance even without being asked. Changes in spending- used to be mostly on women, now nothing at all on women. Bought much sugary food, but almost none now. If one doesn't womanise, smoke or drink alcohol one can almost survive on the old age pension.

Is that a surprise to anyone? How about from our side?

Only till they ain't. The Republic of Ireland used to be part of Britain till it wasn't. Nothing stays the same for ever.

Will Smith punches Chris Rock at Oscars
thaibeachlovers replied to Thailand's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
We now live in a sad, boring world ruled by PC and wokeness. Happily I won't have to endure it too much longer. -
In NZ it's no longer necessary to "sign in" when going in shops ( unless the shop owner's want it ). Considering still many cases of covid every day was it ever necessary? Hopefully the mask mandate will be the next thing to go. People that want to wear them will still be able to buy masks to use.

I was non resident in NZ which meant I had a reduced rate of withholding tax there. Why would I pay full tax if not living there? It remained my home country, but not my home.

Makes no difference as to trying to get NHS treatment if not living in the UK.

That's not what he said in the OP.

What Movies or TV shows are you watching (2022)
thaibeachlovers replied to CharlieH's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
That's 2 hours and 7 minutes of my life I'll never get back. It wasn't a bad film, but having wokeness flaunted at every conceivable opportunity made it the most annoying film I've seen since the Tom Hanks product placing film about a man stuck in an airport. A completely made up story about inter racial love inserted that added nothing to the movie except minutes, lesbians, a western female hotel porter in a 1930s Egyptian hotel, an armed female military honour guard etc. It was so Americanized that they could have replaced the entire cast with black Americans, except for the already black Americans in the cast. Oh, and the last scene was preposterous. That was the last Branagh movie I'll ever see. -

Am I supposed to care? Millions like music I loath. -

Hopefully I'll enjoy Nile more than you as I'm going to see it tonight. The reviews were over 50% positive. As long as it's no worse than the Orient Express movie I'll be happy. Having seen the previous movie no suspense, but I'm expecting some good visuals. There are so few movies out now that I want to watch, anything passable is acceptable. -

Also disliked Breaking Bad because it wasn't interesting, not because of what it was about. For an example of series I did like Fargo The Ship House Poirot Prime Suspect Cracker Morse etc -
How are you with people?
thaibeachlovers replied to georgegeorgia's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Having never talked to one that did so ( probably dead ) I am unable to answer that. Personally I'd only do so for someone I called my friend or someone I love. -

Seriously? Perhaps they do it because they can't sit outside back home because it's too cold, and after they have imbibed they go back to a pleasant young companion which they also can't do back home. Perhaps they'd find your attitude cringeworthy. -
It is, and all I can do is avoiding saying anything much with people I don't trust. Far as I'm concerned there is no freedom of speech any more. Sad days indeed. However to be back on topic, nobody where I live discusses the Ukraine war ( it's too far away and doesn't affect us- yet ), so the OP should be happy about that.
-
Not where I live. The public conversation is somewhat one sided, and those that disagree are probably too scared to say anything because they get roasted if they do. A friend of mine was excoriated for saying something his wife's daughter disliked. He was quite shocked by her reaction, and that's from someone he helped raise. The brainwashing is going quite well apparently.
-
Unfortunately I do like talking about it with like minded individuals. However, these days in my life they are few and far between. Most people I know don't care any more- only care about themselves and theirs.
-
You think there is no brainwashing going on in your country? It's one of the reasons I gave up watching local tv, and it's going on all the time on radio, but I tune them out as much as possible- I certainly don't believe them. I don't live in Russia so I can't comment about there.

Not in the military I joined during the Vietnam war ( I wasn't infantry so didn't serve there ), and I certainly wouldn't have for someone I didn't like. -
Will Smith punches Chris Rock at Oscars
thaibeachlovers replied to Thailand's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
It could be a prank gone wrong when Smith realised that it hadn't gone down well. However, I wasn't close enough to tell, so not sure. It's the sort of thing that a couple of mates might think up over a few beers, but didn't think about the consequences. Does anyone know if they are mates? -

That was one of the reasons for suspecting it was faked.
