I'm calling sh!t on that.

I am now retired and get free healthcare from my local government hospital (free for Thais over 60). This is not linked to social security payments, which I stopped paying upon retirement. I do, however, get a social security pension based on what I paid in, and a governemnt pension of 600 Baht per month, which will increase to 700 Baht when I hit 70 years old.

I don't know about the US, but not suprising in the UK now that the leftists are bending over to the muslim block.

From reading a few of the posts, can I claim ignorance of the law to avoid being locked up?

Wonders never cease. I actually agree with you on something. I'm going to buy a lottery ticket tomorrow.

Reform will put on a facade of staying on the right, but if they get in they'll do a Starmer u-turn on most of their promised policies. Farage the delusional, narcisistic gobschite he is, should never be trusted. I'd go with Restore or Advance.

Farage spouting his usual boll0xs. If he does get in, he would immediately come up with an excuse why such policies are not possible. He is such a narcisitic tvvat, with a total misguided sense of self importance. Despite me being a center right, or even "extreme right" in the leftists' playbook, I could not vote for any party with him as the leader. Hope Restore or Advance, or a combination of the two, overtake Reform and get in at the next election, even though I do not agree with everything they say, but I won't hold my breath.

Saw the clouds over your area yesterday and thought it must be raining there. In my area of the province we just had a really heavy shower this morning at about 5:30 and that's it. At least no need to water the garden today.

Speak of the devil. I haven't seen him on this site for many a year, yet lo and behold, I came across him when checking out a UK pension related page on Facebook just yesterday.

Suck an Ya be happy

If I was still living in Bangkok, I'd just stay with my Honda SH150i, but now I live out in the sticks so don't have to struggle with traffic jams and very busy streets. I have looked into both the Zontes and the ADV 350, and, as you say, the equipment on the Zontes is superior, but the nearest service center for me would be about 160 kms away, compared to Honda which is less than a km away. Also, Hondas seem to be very well made and last a really long time, whereas the data on the Zontes in this regard is very limited.

Any recommendations for crash bars?

It is funny that the logo on the side of the green pickup is that of the Public Health & Environment Department.

Nadhim Zahawi is an even bigger concern. Nasty piece of work. Accepting all these "converts", including the Green, can't be positively promoting Reform. But then as long as they promise to lick Farage's a-hole, he'll accept anyone.

I upped the dose to 1000mg, but no real improvement. I will just finish my current supply and then give up.
