  1. LM blue cigs seem to be in short supply lately.
  2. What also works well is a couple of copies that might be a little bit not so clear and keep a a couple of really good copies in you own file. When you are asked to get better copies and come back later look slightly confused and then say, oh I might have better ones here and hand them over. Works well.
  3. Maybe the cars do but it appears no one else does. ????????
  4. Expat friend, retired now, ran a fabrication company here. At one point he secured a really good 2 year contract and all the workers had the chance to get a good few hours OT each month. Within three or four weeks the car park was filling up with new pick-ups. At the end of that contract everybody was back to normal hours. Within 3 months most of the pick-ups were being handed back to the finance companies. The workers were ok with that, it was in their opinion normal.
  5. Lots of people say that religion has caused more deaths, more wars etc than anything else. If we didn't have any religions what would people kill each other over??
  6. Read somewhere that by the time your pillows are 3 or 4 years old ?? up to half the weight is the dead bodies of dust mites
  7. Re weed in the food I did say 'if' that's true. Something that was pointed out to me about eating street food and the possible downsides was about the number of dogs on the streets and the obvious 'solids' they leave lying around. Those do dry up and add to the dust, diesel and gasoline fumes plus whatever else is floating around you while you eat and admire the traffic jams.
  8. It's strange isn't it. I've seen that in quite a few countries. All I could think of was fear of possible lightening.
  9. It doesn't look like it. Can you decide what you want to invest your 40 mil in/on? Can you then buy your 1600 square metres 'where' you want? Not too many choices it seems.
  10. Of course I know that. You've still got to pay for the land on top of the 40. The problem is that as yet it's not clear what's going to happen after 3 years. The land you can buy will be in selected areas and if you decide after 3 years to 'withdraw' your investment will you still be able to hold onto the land? Too many unanswered questions and always the chance the rules will change after a few years.
  11. There is also the added fact that a lot of employers are now random testing people for drink and drug use. Have a nice 'stoned' holiday, go back to work and lose your job.
  12. It's the money they want so they don't really care how old you are. Anyway you can't pass the land on to your kids etc so pensioners would be preferred. They die and Thailand keeps the 40 mil and gets the land back.
  13. A new passport means you must report in person for first 90 day report after transfer of stamps??? Any other circumstances cause the same 'in person report'??
  14. Or you can buy roughly 2 acres with established olive trees, a lot, a house ( 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms ) ready to move in near the coast in south Italy ( best wine and food on the planet ) for around £140,000. No investment required.
  15. Where do you put the 2 car garage? Or do you leave the Bentley on the street?
