  1. I just completed this quiz. My Score 40/100 My Time 201 seconds  
  2. That's confusing. The State Pension in 2006 was 84.25 per week. Did you have some extra entitlement to almost double it? Edit to add: Maybe you have an earnings related pension (SERPS) But that doesn't explain the difference between what you should get and what appears in your bank.
  3. Are you sure about that figure? That was the approximate rate in 2022/23 but you said you had been receiving your (frozen) pension for many years. Going by your latest 18,546.52 THB deposit -that would be around 430 GBP per 4 weeks. That was the approximate rate in 2013/14. https://adviser.royallondon.com/technical-central/rates-and-factors/state-pension/basic-state-pension-rates/
  4. I guess we will never find out whether the baby was stillborn, died from neglect, or was killed.
  5. Left out in the sun for a while, maybe.
  6. Best, and honest quote from that link ... George H. W. Bush – 41st President “It’s amazing how many people beat you at golf now that you’re no longer president”

  8. Some people have a tradition of naming their children after the place of conception. Her other two kids are Bus Shelter and Ford Escort.
  9. I thought the initial take-down was well executed. Beating the guy while he was already under control was a bit OTT, but not unexpected when tempers are high. The final kick by the lovely lady in yellow was a pathetic attempt. Overall 8/10 for entertainment value IMO.
  10. How did she fund that awful cosmetic surgery?
  11. The way I read it is that Sean Tinsley was convicted of the lesser offence of assault, by the Thai court. Following the death of the victim, Adam Pickles, some years later, a British coroner has found sufficient grounds to allege that Mr Pickles was murdered. When a coroner's verdict is murder, the police are obligated to investigate. As for guilt or innocence, IIRC, Sean Tinsley pleaded guilty to assault.
  12. Not Hampstead Heath, but relevant ... The famous story goes that when Winston Churchill was Prime Minister, he was woken one freezing February morning by a Downing Street aide bearing the shocking news that a male Tory MP had been caught having sex with a naked guardsman in St James’s Park. Noting that it had been the coldest night of the winter, Churchill is said to have remarked: ‘Makes you proud to be British.’
  13. Remember the ice bucket challenge? ...
  14. From AI In Thai society, "amart" refers to the upper class or aristocracy, essentially the elite members of society, often including those with close ties to the royal palace and holding significant political influence; it signifies a privileged group with access to power and wealth. Key points about "amart": Meaning: Literally translates to "aristocrat" or "noble". Social context: Used to describe the highest social stratum in Thailand, including individuals with significant political and economic power. Comparison: Sometimes contrasted with the term "prai" which can refer to the common people or lower classes.
  15. I disagree. There are plenty of extremists who would be willing to destroy the whole world to gain their place in Heaven.
  16. Where are you buying your tiles, toilet, sink etc? Places like Homepro, Boonthavorn, Homemart and such may have their own fitters, or recommend a local firm.
  17. Silicon remover, Lazada. Probably available at Nippon Paint stores too. Nippon paint silicon off
