  1. That's definitely not the impression given by you saying, "he says it is the worst decision he every made to buy a EV car"? Were you being deliberately disingenuous, or just accidentally?
  2. Your friend seems to have ignored one of the main points about owning an EV which has been mentioned over and over again in this thread (as well as in many articles found elsewhere) which is that if you don't have at-home charging, then an EV is probably not the best choice for you.
  3. This. Having a UK passport does not imply any tax liability. I've held a UK passport since I got my first one at age 14 and I haven't paid UK tax since 1981 when I became non-resident for tax purposes. Conversely, if you're resident and earning taxable income in the UK (and don't have non-dom status) you'll have to pay UK taxes even if you don't hold a UK passport.
  4. It's not been explicitly stated but it seems he probably wants to stay in Thailand longer (and with less bureaucratic requirements) than he would be able to do so at present, having entered on a non-Thai passport.
  5. Not sure about that: WHAT’S A MELO MELO PEARL AND WHY IS IT SO VALUABLE?
  6. What's the point of a mug shot where only the person's eyes are visible? The normal purpose of a mug shot is both to allow law enforcement to have a photographic record of an arrested individual, and to allow for identification by victims, the public and investigators. This mug shot serves neither purpose.
  7. That's just a total straw man argument. This thread has absolutely nothing to do with economic performance, it's about systems of government.
  8. I don't imagine it's the cheapest EV around but at least the range-extended versions with a 1,100 km range would allay a lot of people's range anxiety.
  9. Silly question perhaps, but if he's unidentified and had no papers on him, how can they be sure he's a foreigner? There's people from all different kinds of ancestry and racial backgrounds with Thai nationality nowadays.
  10. That is untrue. My daughter has both Thai and UK passports and has on more than one occasion (after acquiring a Thai passport) entered on her UK passport. Also, she had Thai nationality (and a Thai ID card) for several years before bothering to get a Thai passport, so during that time, she couldn't have entered on a Thai passport even if she'd wanted to.
  11. Are the details of this confirmed yet? It's been two days but I still can't see anything about this on any media outlet other than the New York Post.
  12. Somebody said that, but it's not true. The age of majority in the UK is 18. Teenagers in Scotland have some increased rights at age 16 (the right to get married, for instance) but even there, the age of full majority is still 18. As stated on the UK Law Reform Commission's website: The Law Relating To The Age Of Majority
  13. Not the case for the UK, according to lawstuff.org.uk As they state on their website: Holiday without parental consent It is true however that some countries (Portugal for instance) will not allow unaccompanied minors into their country without written permission from the parents.
  14. I think many banks operate a grandfather system. I know mine (NatWest International) does. I've had an account with them for over 30 years (it was originally RBS International but they switched all personal accounts to NatWest a few years ago) and I've been able to keep the account I always had but I can't open any new accounts with them - I asked just last year.
  15. As the Prussian statesman and architect of the unification of Germany, Otto von Bismarck once said: While I don't like the lèse majesté law, I don't think it's the main problem facing Thailand today. If Pita and the MFP could moderate their stance and just go for limits on how it is used and for which cases it's applicable, that would (IMHO) serve the greater good, if it would allow for the formation of a non military-dominated government that would better reflect the will of the people as expressed through the ballot box.
  16. All but one of those require the account holder to be resident in the UK or have proof that they are about to move there.
  17. The various problems with lithium availability (and mining practices) are why so many people are researching alternatives. Here's an article outlining 7 possible alternatives to lithium for EV batteries. 7 Lithium Battery Alternatives These all sound quite promising, however as the article points out:
  18. You mean in terms of them finding the girl's body? Apparently not, it seems he continues to deny all knowledge of her or her fate. Her body was found following a tipoff by someone who saw her being led into a forest by an unidentified man.
  19. There's nothing I've seen that indicates he led them to the body. According the articles earlier in this thread, he has continued to deny any knowledge of her fate, and her body was found following a tipoff received from someone who saw her being led into the forest by a man.
  20. When they are direct, verbatim quotes from Comer (which they were) and moreover, were given to a Fox News host during an interview, then I'm not sure how it matters who's reporting on it.
  21. I think you may be getting your missiles mixed up. The UK sent Star Streak missiles to Ukraine about a year ago. World's fastest laser-guided missile deployed to Ukraine It's the Storm Shadow missiles we only announced sending them two days ago.
  22. Various commentators have pointed out that the most notable moments from this event were probably the numerous statements made by Trump that may well serve to deepen his legal jeapordy. He said things that would have prosecutors on the January 6 and Mar-a-Lago documents cases pricking their ears up and repeated his defamatory language against E. Jean Carroll - a move that could see her suing him again. How Trump’s CNN Town Hall Remarks Put Him in Greater Legal Peril
  23. Whereabouts in Hua Hin, do you know? I've already asked at the government hospital for instance, and they didn't have it there.
  24. No, he's saying that he has 3 separate pensions, each of which he receives monthly.
  25. And when pressed on this in an interview with CNN, Comer admitted straight up that they hadn't found anything illegal. Republican committee chair trying to dig up dirt on Biden admits they’ve come up dry
