  1. You do have to be aware that wherever you go you always take yourself with you 555
  2. Don't think embassy letters are relevant for income method. Requires a full year of monthly bank statements showing money being transferred from abroad AFAIK - but I'm relying on bits I've read, it doesn't apply to me. Some embassies still issue confirmation of income certificates free of charge. In my case pension confirmation. Needs validating at the MoFA. HH accepts. edit: Oh, this is an old thread I say!
  3. Buddhist teachings themselves are as relevant now as ever. Sky fairies are not. Why don't people worship Thor? Or Ra? Or Yog Sothoth?
  4. Quadruple post (still waking up ...)
  5. HAs your house burnt down? Been flooded out? Invaded by pests? Your car been stolen/vandalised? Accident? 🤣
  6. Triple post
  7. Education, not IQ.
  8. Double post
  9. Get a credit card with a SA carrier. Miles don't expire. (EG LH Mastercard Blue/Gold). You also collect miles simply by using it, and that can mount to useful mileage very quickly.
  10. Sounds like the 'problem' is all in your mind. I've always kept it simple - if I don't like a job/place/girlfriend etc., then I change/move/break up etc. Carpe Diem. That doesn't preclude careers or marriages.
  11. I did. She threatened to slap them instead of threatening to help and assist them. Booted them out instead.
  12. Do you seriously think 'Reform's' rabid racist rabble will actually welcome being 'taken into the fold' of Kemi Badenoch just because of her toxic rhetoric. She's black pal - no chance.
  13. Even if that's the case (seems likely) it's a bit much to start slapping customers who've innocently bought a service from him. A decent restaurateur would be at pains, I would think, to try and perhaps even cater to them at another time, whilst also banning Burapa for good (and letting other venues know as well). Slapping them? Wow! Wonder how she treats the staff.
  14. There are so many potential causes of high blood pressure that s/he should see a doctor. It's not good enough to assume that a calcium antagonist might solve the issue. The situation can also become urgent very quickly. There's a multitude of potentially fatal issues could be behind the development. Could be anything from plaque to valve problems to nervous system signaling problems. Or psychosomatic. A decent health insurance will probably apply a reasonable surcharge premium to an issue that is being properly managed. OP see a doctor. Especially if your lower BP value (diastolic) is at 81 or above. The 130's (systolic) is not such a problem although 120 is better. Doctors worry more about the diastolic value. You need a thorough evaluation. I've been through the process and actually take Amlodipin because calcium build up in my vascular system was constricting dilation and contraction and hence blood flow. Now they've found some plaque build up in my coronary blood vessels which is not threatening now, but is obviously a long term threat. I'll probably be on statins by year's end. That process is ongoing with a stress ECG coming up. I'm heading for 70. As my heart specialist said, "It's quite normal as you age. All part of the dying process."
  15. You also need to worry about the people behind him. He'll probably be toast after this election and they'll pick much more carefully next time.
  16. And it strikes me as a bit late to be asking here for advice when the lease is due up in 7 days or so anyway.
  17. An insight which has evidently failed to penetrate very deeply into the AN world.
  18. His culpable action was buying that animal in the first place. What the hell did he want with that? Looks like his protector son of god (see foto - brooch right lapel) didn't agree with his choice either. And my comment further up is serious. I love dogs and grew up with one as a child. Not scared of them at all and can handle them well. But there's no way I'd want something like that around the house. At least the police put a swift end to the (admittedly) poor dog right away. Unlike their Thai counterparts who pass killer dogs on to other 'better' owners.
  19. I can't imagine wanting to live with a dog that might kill me just because it doesn't like the type of Chappy I put down for it.
  20. None of them look very happy ...
  21. The Indians. RTP doesn't want to run the risk of getting involved.
  22. That'll keep you out of trouble I suppose ...
  23. Perhaps because they bought then sold off their council houses to BTL landlords and trashed their own unions.
  24. Wasn't that a particularly virulent form of incurable gonorrhoea?
