Some have the term or right to give you X months notice if they sell the property that you have to vacate.  Regarding 5 year leases, they need to be recorded at the Land Department Office.  If there is No mention of the right to sell, give X months notice to tenant to vacate then you may be at an advantage.  If the last option is the case ask for  Moving expenses, and any other expenses you incur as a result of the early termination of the lease.</description><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jun 2026 05:32:45 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Nicola Sturgeon Says She's Paying for Husband's Crime</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1395794-nicola-sturgeon-says-shes-paying-for-husbands-crime/?do=findComment&comment=20532242]]></link><description>Just another liar doing what she does best &#x1F914;</description><enclosure url="https://assets.aseannow.com/forum/uploads/monthly_2026_06/HJPUzFfWQAAF-92.jpg.762aa68673e32933eeeb36a9f049e34c.jpg" length="62385" type="image/jpeg"/><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jun 2026 05:32:26 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Thailand Risks Falling Behind Vietnam in Economic Race</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1395742-thailand-risks-falling-behind-vietnam-in-economic-race/?do=findComment&comment=20532241]]></link><description>I appreciate what you say in terms of not wanting their culture changed.

Brokers cruised through Northern and Isaan villages, promising parents a good job waitressing or being a maid. Maybe the girl was worth B30k. Everybody knew, even the parents. I don't think that happens much today, at least in Thailand, because of face.   Neighbouring countries: Cambodia, Myanmar, Vietnam, 100% still happening. Now that's trafficking and sad for all concerned.  It's interesting that none of the prostitutes, from high to low, ever come from the South. Only North, Northeast, Central North.

If the US has sunk to the level where it chooses to piss it's treasure up the wall to accommodate the bizarre character which it has chosen as it's President and is unwilling to oppose his antics, then well let them fill their boots as the saying goes. I, along I suspect with many, have increasingly started to reach that conclusion. What offends is the huge damage it has done internationally, the slaughter of the innocents (literally) and the utter hypocrisy of expecting the United Nations to take their side; that and it's apparent abandonment of democracy and civilised behaviour!</description><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jun 2026 05:30:48 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Iran accuses Trump of stalling nuclear talks</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1395802-iran-accuses-trump-of-stalling-nuclear-talks/?do=findComment&comment=20532238]]></link><description>I suppose you have a better one?</description><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jun 2026 05:29:40 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>UK Life Certificate</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1386741-uk-life-certificate/?do=findComment&comment=20532237]]></link><description>If he keeps his UK address he will avoid a frozen pension, but if he is found out he will have to repay all excess above the frozen amount he has received.

More than six decades after first becoming a star in television Westerns and later helping define the New Hollywood era, Eastwood remains one of the industry's most enduring figures. His latest film, Juror No. 2, was released in late 2024, extending a directing career that has already produced multiple Oscar-winning classics. A Hollywood Career That Refuses To Slow DownEastwood built his reputation starring in legendary Westerns before evolving into one of Hollywood's most respected directors. Even in his mid-90s, he continues to work at a pace that would challenge filmmakers decades younger.    His longevity has become the stuff of industry legend, with colleagues regularly expressing amazement at both his energy and commitment to filmmaking. Tom Hanks Reveals Eastwood's Unusual Directing StyleActor Tom Hanks, who starred in Eastwood's 2016 drama Sully, once described the veteran director as "intimidating as hell." But the reputation stems less from toughness than from Eastwood's famously understated approach on set. Rather than shouting "Action!" through a megaphone, Eastwood typically stands quietly beside actors and softly says, "Okay, go ahead." The method reflects his calm, no-nonsense style and helps create a relaxed atmosphere for performers. 'Working With Clint Was A Complete Dream'Screenwriter Todd Komarnicki, who wrote Sully and later directed Bonhoeffer, recently praised Eastwood's leadership and professionalism. According to Komarnicki, the experience was so influential that it helped shape his own approach to directing. He described Eastwood's set as free of ego, marked by trust, patience and a deep sense of calm, adding that the filmmaker has enormous respect for writers and remains remarkably collaborative despite his legendary status. 'More Likely To Die On Set Than Retire'Komarnicki believes retirement simply isn't in Eastwood's nature. Reflecting on the filmmaker's dedication, he said he could not imagine Eastwood ever willingly stepping away from movies, joking that the director was "more likely to die on set at 102 than retire." For a man whose career has already spanned more than half a century, it is a remark that many of Eastwood's admirers may find entirely believable.
