  1. I would like to see the U.K. stay in the E.U. I am a U.K. citizen and on a purely personal view there are many reports that the British pound would tank by approx. 20% which would be extremely detrimental to my financies .

    But the point you are missing, there will be no British pound, only the Euro, so it will be 40% less, plus NO EU benefits paid outside the EU, so make plans to go home, Think outside the box.

  2. If the vote goes to stay in the EU, and Brussels takes over the UK benefits pension NHS etc as they have said they will do.

    My worry is they will adopt the policy if you are not in EU territory you are not entitled to benefits, if this is implemented how many of us will have to return back to the UK, me for one will have to unwillingly return.

  3. I was going to write this tomorrow but what the heck, tonight will do.

    We all have our priorities in the EU debate, the subjects that are important to us, the one that sway us into our positions and then make it difficult to move us out of, so many of us have already made up our minds which way we want to vote on the 23rd June. Maybe it democracy, immigration, borders, economy, our own lifestyle, our potential wealth, we want our country back or whatever.

    Let me give you something you might not have thought about, bearing in mind that the EU have decided to take no notice of what the Dutch people have said and what the British people think, at least I think that is what they think, about the way the civil servants in Brussels just trample over everything regardless.

    Is this more than just a vote to get out of the EU here?

    Is this more a vote about the Establishment versus the People?

    Well where do you stand, think about it.

    And whats the betting that if the vote is stay in the EU (I hope not) Brussels will decide the pound will replaced by the Euro, the Euro will be the only currency in Europe.

    Now I wouldn't put any money on that and I suspect that any political party in the UK that tried that would be tossed out on its ear.

    One thought is at the present for any major changes to the EU have to be agreed by ALL 27/28/29 states and if only 1 disagrees then it is dead in the water.

    So this is like the Dutch vote,no more countries in the EU that Brussels decided to ignore, and just walk all over them.

    As the Irish Minister stated Brussels wants a new country called the EU.

  4. I read today that the EU has legislation on hold until after the end of June to take control of the UK Pensions and welfare system! The mind only boggles at what this might mean, might it mean that we have to bring all the poorer countries up to our levels with our money whilst we stand still and just watch our navels disappear in the process?

    No doubt most have seen this in the Express today

    Horror as Turkish is made an 'official EU language' before ANY voters support membership

  6. Hi

    Hope you managed to get part you needed.

    I had the same problem getting parts for Onga filter, the metal clasp that holds the multiport valve to the filter totally corroded, and the multiport valve started to bypass to waste when on filter, and this was only six years old.

    Onga informed me that they will not export items to Thailand, but I might be able to find a dealer in Australia that might, but could not give me any dealer’s names.

    So I took out the filter and pump and fitted filter/pump combo called splash made in China.

    The labour cost me nothing as I do it DIY.

    I threw the filter out but kept the pump, I did notice that Onga pumps are uprated.

  7. Almost a bird.

    Small brown bird bigger than a sparrow just built and laid her first egg in our red palm.

    Bird ID from the egg photo would be welcome, as the bird is too fast for me, and I don’t want to get too close.

    This is a Streak-eared Bulbul nest in n my garden right now. Colors look a bit different than your egg, but that may just be the lighting as i took this photo late in the day. SE Bulbul are brown and pretty nondescript but easy to ID with a good look.

    Thanks

    managed to get a little peek at her from a distance.
