Driver Flees Scene After Attempting to Extinguish Flames in Bus Fire Tragedy
I think emergency exits on busses open from the inside, not the outside. It will be interesting to find out if the teachers on the inside were unable to open them. -

Frozen in time: British expats losing out on pensions in Thailand
If he lives in the Philippines, he should be getting the full pension including the increases. If he hasn't been - he should start complaining loudly - that they don't know their own rules. Maybe they don't believe that he is living in the Philippines because he's using a UK bank account still. Probably should open a bank account there and get his pension paid into it (should be easy to do if he's living there on a retirement visa of some sort). -

Frozen in time: British expats losing out on pensions in Thailand
On 2. Whether you're married or not makes no difference. Your state pension dies with you. If you have a defined benefit pension from your company, or an annuity, then that can sometimes be set up to still pay a full or partial pension to a surviving spouse - so not being married means she could lose out in that circumstance - but not for the state pension. The bigger issue if you're not being married (depending on the value of your estate) is possibly inheritance taxes. If you've got enough assets (worldwide) to be liable. Possible example would be if you have a house in the UK that you're leaving to your kids, and you go over the inheritance tax threshold, not being married could mean that the executor asks for money from her based on the value of what you've left her. Where if you're married, it's tax exempt. -

'Damning non-answer': Vance refuses to acknowledge Trump lost the 2020 election
Interesting that one of the words came out of Vance's mouth in response was "Censorship!" - to excuse his "damning non-answer." Then the refusal to engage, "We've talked about it, I'm happy to talk about it further - " but not right now, not right here at the debate, right Vance? It's Vance's own "Haitians are eating dogs and cats" moment. That question shouldn't have caught him off-guard. Or maybe he didn't prep, a la Trump? -

What are you talking about All income is taxable including state pension once you go over the Personal allowance in total no matter what the origin of that income If you dont want next Aprils rise am sure many charities will happily accept it even if the Tories (and not Labour) froze the personal allowances level previously whilst in power- 1

Watch: Man Sparks Outrage by Smashing $4,000 Autographed Taylor Swift Guitar
It's just a nearly insane super freak, with too much cash on his hands, showing fealty to his political master. Be obedient my boy. You know me if someone says something bad about me I hate them, and If I don't like someone, you shouldn't either! -

UK frozen pension returning to UK and going overseas again at a later date!
When I returned to live in the UK I was automatically entitled on day one to receive NHS care. Also from day one my pension was increased to the non frozen amount, thus increasing by a large % amount, if I had returned to a frozen pension country within 2 yrs of returning to the UK my pension would have reverted to the frozen amount, as it is I’ve remained her since my return receiving a nearly 100% increase in state pension. -

That makes absolutely no sense - as the US is one of the countries where a UK state pension isn't frozen. Are you sure she wasn't from Canada and changed planes in New York? -

Prawit No Longer Accepts Salary, Entitlement Pay As MP
Nobody knows the extent to which these top generals and top ministers have enriched themselves over the years, we could be talking about billions of baht. Nobody knows, because no investigation is allowed and journalism here is inhibited to the point where one truly has to question if Thailand is anything resembling a democracy. This is just a symbolic gesture intended to deceive the most naive amongst us. -

Concerning Harris: What is the most, for you, appropriate tune that comes to mind?
Apologies for this late addendum which I had intended to include in the original Topic: She's so Cold....too! I mean, she's not exactly the burning bush, or anything....imparting great wisdom....as once happened in Biblical times..... -

Thai Parliament Set to Decide on Controversial Liquor Bill Today
The wine import duties in Thailand are insane, and the government is denying themselves a potentially huge industry in fine wine at wine shops, good hotels, wine events, wine festival. The wine could be promoted on so many different levels and there's no doubt that if they got rid of so many of the taxes that are applied to wine and reduced the import duties by 80% across the board at the wine industry would be 10 times larger than it is now. -
