  1. Exactly what is the link between Muslim refugees in France and recent riots in French cities? I have provided a link to a respected organisation discussing the issues; perhaps a good idea to review before responding... https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2023/07/07/french-riots-banlieues-00105143
  2. Depends on your DOB e.g. https://www.servicesaustralia.gov.au/who-can-get-age-pension?context=22526
  3. I've never had Age Pension payments stopped at time of departure. Unless one has portability, payment continues for 26 weeks from department. However, after six weeks any supplements paid cease until return. https://www.google.com/search?q=age+pension+payment+whilist+overseas&oq=age+pension+payment+whilist+overseas&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIICAEQABgWGB4yCggCEAAYhgMYigUyCggDEAAYhgMYigUyCggEEAAYhgMYigUyCggFEAAYhgMYigXSAQ44Njk5NDQ4MjhqMGoxNagCALACAA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
  4. Some of the right senior wing trump advisers subscribe to paleo conservatism. Why MSN media do not usually point out the info I do not know. However, if you're interested in some detail... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paleoconservatism#:~:text=institutionalized cultural expressions".-,Ideology,gender%2C culture%2C and society.
  5. OP: If it is required to have a prostatectomy, don't omit to have a follow up PSA test one month later. If cancer, it is possible the cancer has spread which would likely require ongoing hormone treatment. For further info on prostate cancer go to: https://www.pcf.org/
  6. There maybe a cure for diabetes, but the truth of the matter is affordability / access to treatment could easily be a major factor.. e.g. in the USA diabetes treatment is unaffordable for the less well off. Also of course the amount of sugar in food; simple examples being bread, cereals and yoghurt for breakfast in Western diets and of course rice in Asian diets. From the article... The research also estimated that by 2045, three quarters of adults with diabetes will live in low- and middle-income countries. But even in wealthy countries such as the United States, diabetes rates were almost 1.5 times higher among minorities such as black, Hispanic, Asian or Native Americans, a separate Lancet study said.
  7. 10MG dose per day is the norm for treatment of nerve pain. Much higher doses are available for treatment of depression or other clinical matters. I do not know if Amitriptyline is available from Thai doctors or spinal treatment specialists.
  8. OP: I have suffered from moderate spinal stenosis for a number of years. Specialist declined surgical intervention. Over the years I had been prescribed a number of pain killers which were ineffective. I am now using amitriptyline, 10mg a day, which enables me to walk relatively pain free. The drug is normally used for anti depressant in higher dosage, but was discovered to be helpful for nerve pain. You may like to get your girlfriend to try the treatment for a month to see if it helps. I understand a prescription is required. Note they can make you feel tired, so take before bedtime.
  9. A typo: should read retirement age for pension will be 67 as of 01/07/23
  10. Sure, but a lot of competition for work in the mining sector. If you have friend / family for intros might be viable.
  11. Yes. Remember retirement age for pension will be 67 as of 01/01/23
  12. Male over 60 you can do volunteer work for 30 hours a week - no need to work Not so sure plenty of jobs, would very much depend on your location and skills - agism is still extensive.
  13. OP, FYI at the moment rent would absorb most of your Jobseeker allowance if you relocate to a major city / in demand location. Some years back I relocated back to Oz to wait out the two year period to return to Thailand where we have a house. I'm still here as I was diagnosed with cancer and cannot afford the ongoing medical care costs in Thailand - just a heads up about plans....
  14. Just a heads up. Just returned from overseas and wanted to renew my ATM card. Rang Call Centre who said no problems at any branch. Went to branch in Bangkok who refused to issue new card, withdraw funds or close account as I didn't have a copy of my expired passport with which I originally opened the account. Refused to call branch where I had my account to obtain original passport details. Now have to travel to Jomtien where my account is now located. Hopefully will not have a repeat experience
