  1. It's Glasgow, what did you expect!
  2. I suspect they don't have a life beyond sneering at people who do
  3. Stupidity, people are just getting dumber.
  4. You might want to consider offshoring to Singapore, it's easier to manage and more friendly than the UK, I've used HSBC Premier for over 20 years.
  5. Yep, I go all the way back to Dixon of Dock Green. For those seeking honest coppering without too much of the CSI stuff, can I recommend the New Zealand series "The Brokenwood Mysteries", now in its 11th series, a Kiwi Midsomer Murders
  6. AI might think putting us all out of our misery was being benevolent
  7. Bedsit in Luton watching the Weather Channel more likely.
  8. I recall someone joking about the DUP's manifesto as being like the Old Testament but with regular bin collections.
  9. Don Mueang opened as a Royal Thai Air Force base on March 27, 1914 - so the Thai military were responsible for that. First commercial fight was in 1924, first flight was KLM. Though seeing as Thailand has been run by the military for most of the past 100 years I guess they're responsible for most of it.
  10. You don't need faith to understand that treating others with respect and kindness is common sense, if you wish to be treated with respect and kindness in return.
  11. That's just sad "You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough." – Mae West This isn't a rehearsal as they say, this is it, make best use of it.
  12. You expect them to work for free!?
  13. Your consciousness dies when your brain activity stops; dead is dead. But I accept some folk like to believe in an afterlife, some greater purpose than simply the replication and survival of your genes across generations, but I'm happy with the latter.
  14. The guy Trump shook hands with in Saudi Arabia recently. Said he was such a handsome man and dropped the sanctions. He's former al-Qaeda, not ISIS.
  15. So an Indian made iPhone + 25% tariff is the cheaper option
  16. No issues with recent transfers from Singapore, to Kasikorn and Siam Commercial. Just checking the transaction receipts I note the last 4 transfers have used Tranglo as the partner bank, didn't notice any difference, all arrived in seconds, largest was THB100k, smallest THB4k.
  17. Likely fewer visitors to the Whitehouse
  18. Prices aren't fixed but rise and fall based on demand and what they think they can get away with
  19. No direct flights Bangkok - Birmingham, but several 1 stops options. Qatar via Doha Emirates via Dubai Turkish via Istanbul KLM via Amsterdam Lufthansa via Munich or Frankfurt There are no doubt a couple more
  20. Anyone dumb enough to believe there's such a thing as 'a "can't lose" investment' deserves to lose their shirt.
  21. Most of the UK's coal 'reserves' aren't accessible, the closure of the coal mines in the 80s rendered what remained in those mines financially unworkable. The UK has little in the way of open pittable coal, most is narrow seam suitable for underground mining which is expensive.
  22. Emerging markets are popular https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/22/emerging-markets-next-bull-market-sell-us-market-watchers.html
