Which movies you never get tired about?
For me, it is Dirty Dancing. I was involved in the video release of the movie in Europe in 1987, and what was actually a low budget movie, but turned out to be a blockbuster. Since, I have watched it at least 8 times, most recent just today, and still I shed a tear in the closing scene. So share your movie of all times. -

Thailand's EV Industry Faces Challenges Amid Subsidy Concerns - video
Now, if you going to adjust the figures to suit your bias, adjust them both - GMV of MG ZS EV is 2070 kg. Also, you are 'cherry picking' a singular event to suit your bias and ignoring all other possibilities in which an accident can occur. Now, in this imaginary head-on collision - in your ranger, If you try and swerve out of the way... you are lot more unsafe because of the instability of a higher pickup, suspension etc, more unresponsive because of the excessive weight, you're ready starting to roll with a strong swerve (think moose test). If a lighter more stable car tries to swerve out of the way, there is better road holding less chance of a loss of control. You're trying to polish the turd and roll it in glitter - and, while I like the Raptor significantly more than any MG - its not a safer car... Unless of course, as you pointed out you are in one of the 5% of head on collisions and not 56% of incidents involving overturning and skidding... Common Accident Types (Figures from The Nation) - Overturning or Skidding on Straight Roads: 43% - Overturning or Skidding on Curved Roads: 13% - Rear-End Collisions: 31% - Head-On Collisions: 5% - Collisions with Traffic Barriers: 4% - Intersection Crashes: 2% - Pedestrian Accidents: 2% Types of vehicles in accidents: - Pickups (37%) - Private and public vehicles (27%) - Motorcycles (20%) - Trucks with at least 10 wheels (8%) - Six-wheel trucks (6%) - Vans (2%) -

Split Tunneling
Yes at the app level so a browser is an app and therefore you cannot use one browser to connect to lazada and the same to connect to UK TV with split tunneling. I guess it might be possible to have two browsers one for UK IP connections and the other for non UK IP connections?? -

Tax advice
I see my comment maybe a bit unclear, can get the difference.... I meant people who still pay tax on their income in UK, say for receiving private pension or from dividend, interest etc., and end up also being charged tax for importing their own money into Thailand, then can claim this from HMRC. No loop hole at all, as it happens I have some shares from US, Canada, Ireland (all iShare ETFs), the dividend payments from these are taxed at source, I receive details from my brokers. I put this in my self assessment form online, and they are automatically deducted from my total tax every year.... -

Syrian Rebels Take Damascus As Assad Flees Amid Global Concerns
I suppose like all those Free Poles went back home when Lech Walesa was elected. They were asylum seekers as well, changed the character of whole towns in the English Midlands, forcing local people to eat smoked pork sausages. The nerve of it..... Wait, they didn't. Neither did Gregory down at the local Football Supporters Club moaning about what Stalin did to his beloved Ukraine. The couple running the local Indian restaurant didn't go back to Uganda after Idi Amin fled to Saudi Arabia. Many Syrians will of course return home. Why would they. Britain is full of people who they don't know, never met, but who hate them anyhow. Many will stay, tough it out, as the UK is now their home, just like Nigel Farage's Hugenot ancestors did. My Thai wife is firmly convinced that the majority of British people hate foreigners, especially Asians. Not sure where she got that idea from. -

Thailand throws ‘baht’ at impact study of 10,000-baht handouts
It was a scheme to get votes for the party who promised the plods that, if they voted their party into power, they would in turn reward the voting public by opening the treasury up and showing the commoners with public money. Of course it was a lie. They are wringing their hands and plotting on how to renege without causing a social uproar, and my guess, create the conditions for another coup. It's called - "Vote Buying." Although not technically illegal in this case, it should be.
