Miserable goit.

Condo ownership by foreigners revealed: China tops, UK in third
jesimps replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
A lot I should imagine. Not so much the Chinese, they tend to marry their own kind. -
On line school lessons causing stress
jesimps replied to Twigtom's topic in Primary & Secondary Education
Can't speak for the kids, but the stress level of my missus who was a teacher went up exponentially. So much so that she quit and is now quite happy in her new job. -
Thailand to introduce 500 baht tourist entry fee from Jan 1st
jesimps replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
No prizes for guessing who that'll be. -
Correct. I didn't even know I had termites until they ate my kitchen units, skirting boards, door frames and ceilings. Cosmetically, everything looked ok, it was the permanent buzzing noise that gave them away. Everything softwood, woodchip or plasterboard had to be replaced.

Udon police arrest Swiss expat who killed armed intruder at his home
jesimps replied to webfact's topic in Isaan News
He was in Swiss man's house with a loaded gun, whether he wanted the money or the wife is immaterial. -

Not in UK unfortunately. Remember Tony Martin? -

Yes he does, he went on my ignore list several years ago. He's also a big supporter of military coups. -
SURVEY: What was your reaction to the vaccine?
jesimps replied to Scott's topic in COVID-19 Coronavirus
I'm 77, had my first AZ Jab last month, no side effects at all. Looking forward to my second AZ (hopefully). -
I've been waiting a month now for my Bitkub verification and have heard nothing from them except for an email saying "Welcome to Bitkub", then at the bottom, please send your passport photo and selfi (which I'd just sent). My wife waited ages and then after weeks of phoning them, she failed the verification. I've read about these verification problems from lots of people, seems to be a thing with Bitkub. You're one of the few successes IMO. I've been with Coins.co.th for quite a while now, but am confined to Bitcoin. They don't do alts. You also can't place limit orders, it's purely instant buy/sell. Good exchange for beginners.

Must Read Thailand delays plan to re-open cities to tourists until November
jesimps replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Oh! What a surprise. -
Ah, the demon drink again. It attracts the virus don't you know. What non-westerners can't seem to comprehend is that to most of us, an enjoyable night in a restaurant is a meal accompanied by an alcoholic drink of some sort. I won't visit one until they resume serving wine with a meal. As for being charged for gambling whilst playing a harmless game of pool.....No wonder so many eating establishments are going to the wall.

"Two days later dog had been fed poisoned food and that was the end of it" I've often thought of doing the same to the nine noisy abominations in next door's garden. I've suffered them for six years now. If it wasn't for the fact that the owners are quite nice people and friends of the missus, I would have done it long ago. Although not a dog lover (think God made a mistake when he gave them that obnoxious bark), I used to quite like them until living here.

Aim for the middle of the green....Simple????
jesimps replied to ASEAN NOW News's topic in Golf in Thailand
I'm just happy if I get anywhere near the green without ending up in a bunker. I spend a couple of minutes pumping the air if my ball actually lands on the green, middle or wherever. -
September should be fun (or not) for Crypto investors
jesimps replied to DumbFalang's topic in Cryptocurrency News
I've been DCA for a while now, so I'm not bothered which way the market goes. If down, more cryptos for my weekly $100. Can't see point in selling if you're DCA. -
Good advice. Give the online ones a body swerve. After several months of bar mongering I met my missus at a local restaurant where she worked as a temporary waitress/cook. She's a teacher by profession, but had recently arrived in the area and took the restaurant job to tide her over until she found a suitable position at a local school. It took a lot of wooing, but I managed to win her over and we've now been together/married some 14 years.

Q. re Thai girlfriend receiving a UK pension after partner dies..
jesimps replied to giddyup's topic in Home Country Forum
As far as I know she'll get nothing from his state pension. My civil service pension can only be claimed by my wife, not children, parents, siblings, cousins or live-in girlfriend. The missus and I were quite happy just living together, but when I found out the pension rules we got wed. Didn't want to leave her with nowt and definitely didn't want my hard earned pension to go to the state. -
The green Covid Vaccine Certificate - and how you get it.
jesimps replied to OneMoreFarang's topic in COVID-19 Coronavirus
I got my first AZ vaccination at Bang Sue, but can't see any number on the paperwork starting 600000....... Do you only get said number after 2nd jab?
