What is your take on this peer-reviewed study published last month in Immunity, Inflammation and Disease, according to which young adults who received a Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine showed elevated spike protein production a year or more after vaccination (which is significantly longer than the spike protein is said and expected to remain in the body)? Participants exhibited elevated levels of multiple proinflammatory cytokines – the proteins which help regulate the immune system – signifying a persistent immune response to the messenger RNA.

How does one choose the wrong parents? Blaming ailments on genes is perhaps the most cynical and cruel principle the pharmaceutical industry has come up with. "I have cancer because I have bad genes", i.e. it's my fault. At no point is it suggested or considered that cancer is caused by poisoning and chronic inflammation.

If true, yes. It is weird, however, to post a topic in which the sole conclusion is that your spouse is stupid. Some people are just bizarre, but each to their own.

We've all been there, I've indulged in it myself once in a while A few of us know some things about the main protagonist which would be problematic if posted here. Let's just say we're not dealing with your average "family guy"…

He spent the first 50+ years of his life in the UK and he was not happy, he stated before that he wished he had discovered Thailand when he was younger. Now he's just making the best of it in his old years and doesn't care about anyone or anything else. There's a psychological element to his mindset and posts.

100% this. And it won't change anytime soon.

That's just a cooler-sounding version of 9.

I've been on 15 since 2021, but I think the majority of people are currently on 9. 10 will be the tipping point.

If she didn't want him to have it, she would have said nothing and tried to ensure he never heard about it, which given his nonexistent command of Thai would be easy enough to achieve. BMT is a very cynical guy and he's probably cracking up reading the comments to this thread which I now think is 75% sure to be a wind up.

Exactly, so he's not entitled to anything either way. If not in a touristic area, it's highly unlikely the land is worth 10 million, unless she has a lot of rai. The document writing/signing thing could be a Thai way of expressing frustration (which can sometimes come across as a little immature)… or BMT has made the whole thing up (he doesn't speak Thai so she obviously speaks basic English, she can see what he allegedly wrote on that paper). With this thread, he's just created an opportunity to tell us he thinks his wife is stupid, for whatever reason.

I'll gladly contribute my 47, if we all chip in we can produce collective genius.

Presumably, un any case, the document has no legal standing if not done in the appropriate notarial conditions. If this story is true, it sounds more like the wife having a go because she is p*ssed off about something.

In my opinion, farangs will never be asked to pay taxes in Thailand. After months of back-and-forth, speculation and contradictory information, given the insurmountable problems it would cause and the degraded image of the country as an expat haven (with the subsequent capital flee), it will end up being either: 1 - Completely swept under the carpet 2 - Turned into a flat tax (e.g. 1,000 baht) to be paid during any visa extension, i.e. tick the "I hereby declare being from a country which has a dual-taxing agreement with Thailand" = 1,000 baht per farang in the Thai State's coffers, everyone is happy and face is saved.

In other words, it is never going to happen, as a few of us expected all along.

Nothing happens for no reason.

That much I had gathered… I do understand why you are much happier in Thailand than in the UK, this country accommodates your type pretty well.

Now correlate that with his numerous posts on self-confidence, knowing your worth etc.

BritMan regularly says his wife has no say regarding money. And he actually calls her stupid in the OP, even if the tone is somewhat humourous, it is telling. It seems quite a few farangs behave this way with their Thai spouses, treating them as inferiors, giving them pocket money and scolding them like children if they aren't happy with what they do with it. So it's no surprise said spouses should retaliate when they feel they are in a position to.

Yeah, that's called being a husband and dad.

I recall him saying stuff like "my wife has NO say over what I do with MY money"… Seems like she's just giving him a taste of his own medicine.

Soooooo so much worse… Now everybody together, correlation does not prove causatioooon…

Of course… From one department to the other within the same cartel.

Good.

I would laugh if it weren't so tragic.

Such a great album. Those were the years…
