According to that, I'm an Aries and my wife is an Aquarius - but we were both born in July. -

Foreign couple caught having sex near mall entrance in Pattaya

Exhibitionism and voyeurism are very common sexual fetishes. Both are displayed in this topic. Personally, I think it's harmless so long as everyone involved is an adult. -

Uranus is a gas giant. I learned that from the Captain Underpants movie. -

Good luck Kaokorn, but I think that "Songchai Nianhom, president of People for the Protection of the Monarchy Institution (Por-Por-Sor) and his team" will have you cancelled. -

UK Pensions and related info
chickenslegs replied to CharlieH's topic in UK & Europe Topics and Events
My Government Gateway account is showing that I owe 1,300+ GBP income tax from 2022/2023 and states that I will incur penalties if not paid by 27 March this year. I paid in December 2023. -
UK Pensions and related info

I used the chat service a couple of weeks ago, after I read your previous post here. Yes, very helpful and confirmed that my payment was received. However, the advisor couldn't correct my Gateway account as that required a different department (simple Assessment Department). I'm still waiting for the promised call back. -
UK Pensions and related info
chickenslegs replied to CharlieH's topic in UK & Europe Topics and Events
I just looked at my Government Gateway account forecast for 2024/2025. Despite me informing DWP and HMRC that I reside in Thailand (I informed them when I moved here in 2005) they are still adding the UK State Pension increase into my total income. In the past 2 years HMRC has failed to collect the correct amount of income tax after my total income increased, due to receiving my state pension. I brought this to their attention more than one year ago and I paid around 1,800 GBP to set things straight. Even now, having paid the tax I owe by direct deposit to HMRC (I don't dispute the total Bill) my Government Gateway account still shows that I owe 1,300 GBP - (and the threat of penalties if I don't pay) and I will owe another 1,800 GBP next year. My tax history is very simple. I have been in the PAYE system since I was 15 years old. I'm now 68. Communicating with HMRC IME there are 3 options 1) Write a letter and get no reply, 2) Use the Gateway account and get no reply, 3) Phone call to HMRC - wait 30-40 minutes to speak to a human being then be informed that your issue is dealt with a different department who will call you back within 48 hours (but they don't). I was trying to make sure that I paid the correct amount of income tax (more than was deducted). What an absolute shambles. Rant over. -
British lookalikes forge unlikely friendship on flight to Thailand

"Best beach" is very subjective. My top two ... 1. Cocklawburn 2. Bamburgh Bloody freezing 49 weeks of the year, and never crowded - even during those 3 weeks of sunshine.

I'd be interested to know how that pans out.

Temperature inside the poly box is hardly affected by the outside temperature, but I nearly lost some seedlings when I forgot to put shade over them. I didn't look at them until mid day and they looked very sad ...
-
I decided to transfer all the seedlings to soil pots. I started with just potting 2 but they were doing so well that I was tempted to pot them all. I have about 30 more tomato seeds (beef steak from a packet) starting to germinate in foam cubes - nothing to show yet. My only tomato plant has developed these markings on its leaves. Does anyone know the cause and treatment?

Worst Joke Ever 2024
chickenslegs replied to warfie's topic in Jokes - Puzzles and Riddles - Make My Day!
For our anniversary my wife suggested that we should recreate the time we first met. I agreed, it was a great idea. So, we went separately to the hotel bar and, while I was sitting alone, she came over to me and said "Hey handsome, can I buy you a drink?" I said "F*** off, I'm not falling for that one again!" -

Probably a typo ... The lower esophageal sphincter (LES) is a high-pressure zone located where the esophagus meets the stomach and protects the esophagus from the reflux of gastric contents.

True, and desperately needed for those of us expats who have had our UK bank accounts closed. E.g. - Barclays closed my UK account after 40+ years of never being in the red, just because I was honest about my new address in Thailand. If I need to book a flight home to the UK I now need to transfer my GBP pensions to my Thai bank account , (via Wise) then pay for the flight in Baht from my Bangkok bank account- that's two international transfers and about 5-10% extra on top of the current inflated flight prices.
