If pensioners were given a million pounds and came to live in Thailand within a year they would be married to some impoverished farmers daughter, be a father at 70, probably not their offspring, and walking the streets in Pattaya looking for a bar with balloons outside. ????????.

There are some things money can't change.

With so many unemployed, there is little incentive to maintain

workers rights. Compulsory retirement at 40 is the answer, something

similar was promised in the early 60s, a three day working week,

thus solving the unemployment and workers rights problem.

All pensioners choosing to live abroad in Thailand should be given

1M pounds..Housing crisis solved.

Does anyone actually know the optimum population capacity for the UK?

Would it be wise or not, to keep to that optimum?

Reading the sign, it Looks like someone is trying to 'rip off' the Indians. lol.

I cancelled the subscription because its politically biased, and the sudoku is kids stuff.

I'm not happy when a Go Go bar goes.

Apparently you have to apply for that 2 month SETV on line in some countries and it's not as straight forward as it was. Some older blokes do not even know how to turn a computer on let alone apply on line for a visa.

 

Then you've got to chase down to Jomtien and hope you can get another month's extension.

 

People want to be able to relax for the 3 or 4 months, not have to go chasing about or flying in and out of Thailand while they're on winter break or a long holiday. It's bad enough having to fly for hours on end and half way round the world just to get to Thailand.

 

Then you have to contend with ever rising prices prices, a lousy exchange rate and the worsening and increasingly mercenary attitude of the locals once you've arrived there.

 

As others have said I also know a couple of regular visitors who are calling it a day and one of my ex pat chums who has been in Pattaya for 12 years is going back to the UK in February and may not come back. He says it's not the Thailand he knew before and he's had it with the place.

 

Some people simply don't want the aggravation, that's why fewer falangs will be coming to Thailand for long holidays in the future. I'm in Pattaya right now and it's the quietest I've ever seen it at this time of the year. It can and will only get worse.

It is indeed a right faf getting into Thailand, I have to consider Spain or Italy next year,

cheap short flight, cheap accomodation, how difficult can it be? Might even try Russia.

I fell into it by accident, got a mouthful and was severely ill for 3 days, and

cat-napped in the bog for 2 nights.  Heaps of pathogens in it mate.

When are the English going to get a vote on kicking Scotland out of the UK.

Nice one followed by a vote on kicking London out of the UK.

Alright, geez, this reminds me of a joke.

 

Little Johnnie and Suzie were playing together one day and, being curious as children are wont, they decided to see what they each looked like.

 

So little Johnnie drops his drawers while little Suzie divests herself of her skirt and there they sit in the grass across from each other staring.

 

Little Johnnie espies little Suzie's pudenda, a bit taken aback at a certain absence, and pointing his finger to his little protuberance mockingly remarks, "Why you haven't one of these!!!"

 

Unperturbed little Suzie proudly responds, "Well, my mother told me that with one of these," pointing to her little muffin, "I could have as many of those as I want!!"

 

Now I'm not so sure this is a joke as much as it's just a statement of absolute truth.  The Power of Pussy.

 

Man's sad fate in this world; his life begins by emerging out of a woman's pussy and he spends the rest of his miserable existence trying to get back in.

 

 

Yeah indeed, can be a sad fate, as proven by the number of divorced blokes hitting Patters..

me included. Bear in mind the old saying 'If you want to sleep at night marry an ugly woman'..

which I did by accident. Turned out to be a different sort of beauty..like this music.....

Why dont people like this stuff?:

From the land of hope and glory and cobblers.

Aint been around for 3 months, got an asbo in uk...playing beautiful 90 year old music like this..

Populist Conspiracy Theory gibberish. 

Surely, there is no such thing as Conspiracy Theory.

This is confirmed by an article in the INDEPENDENT.

We already know that AI can be used to manipulate

public opinion. Massive swarms of political bots were

used in the 2017 general election in the UK to spread

misinformation and fake news on social media. The

same happened during the US presidential election in

2016 and several other key political elections around

the world.

These bots are autonomous accounts that are programmed

to aggressively spread one-sided political messages to

manufacture the illusion of public support. This is an

increasingly widespread tactic that attempts to shape

public discourse and distort political sentiment.

Typically disguised as ordinary human accounts, bots

spread misinformation and contribute to an acrimonious

political climate on sites like Twitter and Facebook. They

can be used to highlight negative social media messages

about a candidate to a demographic group more likely to

vote for them, the idea being to discourage them from

turning out on election day.

No Conspiracy here, just government business as usual.

Well, It might give you an alternative view from the

official establishment narrative. We must question

everything we are told or sold, particularly anything

from the UK gov.  Got yer doh on a gee gee yet, I'm

going for a rank outsider, better winnings.
