The word friend is banded about to losely IMHO I use acquaintance. I guess I'm lucky to say the best friend I've ever had was my Dad. My Thai wife is obviously more than friend. Sons and daughters I take for granted they come and see me. Guys and girls, ladies I know here are really only acquaintances. I have a good buddy who's here 6 months of the year and we go riding our motorbikes to all corners of Thailand We been doing that for some 11 years so Yeah I guess I could call him a friend. ????

Fair call. ????

My slapping days are over sorry, I know my limitations these days. ????

Most of my life was in the construction industry and yes drinking for most was a way of life and as you say they are not all like that. In UK to bring class into bad behavior I don't agree they can come from any class me having spend a lot of time in pubs and witnessed on many occasions throughout my work life.

Don't understand what your on about, sounds like a contradictory post. It's all quite simple really mostly the term a proper motorbike is a big bike not a Wave or a Scooter. In Thailand not same obviously. If it bothers you are a biker if you have a Triumph speed triple plus any other 2 wheels you have. UK Bikers have always taken the water out of each other, some take too seriously. It's all a bit of fun. ????

I would like to think a stern talking of what you will do will avoid that. ????

Please ya self. I don't feel left out of anything like that, if a person I knew did start getting out of hand or disrespectful whilst in my company I would put a stop to it.

Sounds to me you didn't really know him that well. I'm English and thankfully I don't have family or friends that visit me in Thailand like that.

There alright sitting in front of them, and lot of ice on tap. If you have a room for air-con 9btu cooler unit are very cheap now.

So stop doing it then. So personally I have made it clear enough that any money that Russia makes is not good and shows sanctions only help a bit. That's my opinion why not give your opinion without asking questions of others. I'm just off to 7-11.

Your getting a bit weird over this take your emotions out on someone else. Stop and think, what about 7-11. ????

The simple thing is as the thread title reports what is done about it I have no idea.

Well I don't see sanctions working only helping a bit in situations but how it's defined on how sanctions work doesn't look good if Russia's pre-war levels are the same.

War effort in Ukraine would be my first guess.

No because they could still produce more and sell more and instead of a £ and say get 50p instead of nowt is not good.

All I'm trying to say is any money they make from oil and Russia being reported as selling oil up to the pre-war levels is not good.

The situation is I have never bothered about a Will as I have no assets in UK other than a UK bank account and every vehicle in Thailand I always have in my wife's name. So the only thing that is technically mine in Thailand is the visa extension money because it's in a Thai bank account in my name only which is required by immigration. We have a joint ATM Thai bank account as well in which my UK pension is paid into. As for my online UK bank account to save my wife aggro I have given access to my one of my UK sons to take out what money there is on my demise and give to his step Ma. My questions on my demise. 1. Vehicles no problem my wife can sell. 2. The visa extension money in my name account again to save wife aggro I have changed to a ATM card account so my wife can use the ATM card to get the money out. 3. As No. 2 states could my wife get into trouble if she did that, do I need to write a letter giving permission. 4. Has the Thai govt have some right to some of that extension money. 5. With the joint ATM account she take what money is left because no more money be paid in once DWP know I have peg it. 5. Will just writing a letter to say and have it witnessed that I give all money and processions to my wife and permission to take all of what's mine enough. Thanks for any help.

Well maybe in the west. Russian export levels up to pre-war levels is not good.

Nothing to do with understanding and it doesn't matter given the situation Russia has put theirselves in they are still making money which is not good.

Agree, they can increase production and sell it cheaper.

I guess his sort of right but strict checks on gunshops selling guns and who is allowed a gun needs strict inforcement. The gun lobby will always say bad people will still get guns and good people have a right to protect themselves from those people.

Or "riding while drunk".

The only thing I heard was, some of the leak info was about SAS on the ground in Ukraine, I thought it would be pretty obvious for Russia to assume that anyway along with other countries special forces.

I never say that. I'm sitting in a car. I'm traveling in the car. You have been in the car. I am being taken in the car. I'm going in a car

I drive my truck sometimes like I ride my bike. See lots of people use drive my bike, I straight away think have not been a long time bike rider or have ridden bikes much in their lifetime.
