  1. I'm just going by what is written in the link I posted: "Your pension will go up to the current rate if you return to live in the UK" Makes no mention of moving to a third country having an agreement. I agree that may be the case, it's just not written down in that link, but I can't find any formal statement from the UK saying that it would be unfrozen by moving to, say, the Philippines. Everything I've read from an official source says you need to move back to the UK. Note that UK residents of the EU, EEA and Switzerland only get the annual increase if they were already living there before the end of 2020, so moving to one of those countries definitely wouldn't thaw it. Also, the last reciprocal agreement ever made was with Barbados in 1981. All governments since have said they will make no more, as it's "too expensive".
  2. A bloke's wife asks him to drop by the hospital after work and visit his mother-in-law, who was in a serious condition. When he gets home she worriedly asks: "So, honey? How's my mum doing?" He replies: "She looks great! She is in good health! She will still live for many years! Next week she will be released from the hospital and will come and live with us, forever!" "Wow that's amazing!" - says the wife - "But this is very strange, dear... yesterday she seemed to be on her deathbed, the doctors said she'd only have a few days to live!" "Well, I don't know how she was yesterday" - he replied - "But today when I arrived at the hospital, the doctor told me that we should prepare for the worst".
  3. The adjective for metal is metallic. Except for iron, which is ironic.
  4. My Rolex fell off my wrist the other day. Before I could pick it up, a man accidently stood on it and started shouting at a woman, so I knocked him out. No-one treats a woman like that. Not on my watch!
  5. Gloria Gaynor invited 6 friends around for dinner but one of them cancelled. Don't worry, she said, I will serve five.
  6. Just watched a pirated movie. On a scale of 1-10 I'd have to give it 3.14159265359
