Rooster still crowing....just!
I used to enjoy Rooster's weekly ThaiVisa round-up (This Week In Thailand?). Always a bit of humour and occasional personal anecdote thrown in. There's nothing like it on AN now, pity.

Getting UK HMRC to recognise my UK State Pension as not receiving the yearly increases.
Before April 2016 (basic state pension) you could opt to be paid weekly. Seems possible that fortnightly may have been an option too. New state pension is paid 4-weekly or 13-weekly.

WISE just shut me down!
No "back story" in my case. I was a Barclays customer for almost 40 years. Salary (then pension) paid into my account on the first working day of every month without fail. Never overdrawn. A few car loans and a mortgage over the years, which were never defaulted. I moved to Thailand in 2005 and notified Barclays of my new address. Carried on using the account for purchases here and in the UK, plus regular transfers to my BBL account for living expenses. Completely out of the blue in 2021 I received a letter informing me that I must close my account within a few months, or Barclays would close it.

Thai airline flight makes emergency landing in Phuket
In such circumstances does the pilot announce that an engine has failed? I would have thought it better to just get on and land the plane without scaring the passengers.
