  1. As mentioned on a radio phone in programme, if the painting was done by the graffiti artist known as Banksy, would the council be so keen to get it removed?
  2. From the HMRC website https://community.hmrc.gov.uk/customerforums/pt/d0f9057b-3d87-ee11-a81c-000d3a86dfe6#:~:text=Individuals who are non resident,is known as disregarded income).
  3. I retired last year, from the merchant navy. Never filled in a tax form for more than 30 years. I consulted a tax accountant who completed a tax form for me. I expected to pay tax due to state pension and dividend payments, and bank interest on cash. However, somehow the HMRC said they owe me-79p, I have searched for info on this. I asked google if non residents have to pay tax on dividends or interest. Found the following- Individuals who are non resident in the UK are not taxable in the UK on UK interest or dividends received. However, if tax is deducted at source from the interest and/ or dividends, then some or all of the tax may not be refundable ( this is known as disregarded income) Also this https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/non-residents-and-investment-income-hs300-self-assessment-helpsheet/hs300-non-residents-and-investment-income-2022 Seems it is called disregarded income for non residents. I am off to UK early April so will contact my tax accountant and check with him, then I will be able to stop paying him.
  4. My son and daughter entered Thailand last year using expired Thai passports. They had to show a valid Thai ID card.No problem, told to renew their Thai passports.
  5. The muslims are organising in England. Here is a website recently set up which lists mp's who abstained on a ceasefire motion, with their majority and number of muslim voters in the constituency. https://themuslimvote.co.uk/who-should-i-vote-for
  6. I have accounts with 3 banks.I was away from Thailand for over 2 years during covid. No problems when I returned, except one of the ATM cards had expired.
  7. According to this bloke, Everton are almost a £billion in debt, and he doesn't think the takeover will be approved. So, in total, including shareholder loans, but before trade creditors (outstanding transfer payments) Everton have £1 billion of debt. Does this matter? https://www.toffeeweb.com/season/23-24/comment/editorial/44492.html
  8. Might be going down with the points deduction-and maybe more to come- but at least the new stadium will be the best in the Championship. At 3 minutes are the beer pipes being installed. Part of the planning permission stated that the Grade 2 listed wall and hydraulic tower and pumphouse had to be restored, as well as the railway lines.
  9. Surely if you are here on a marriage extension then you should only declare the 400,000 baht needed for the extension. Same for retirement extension. Just declare the 800,000 baht required. According to a post on another thread, a person over 65 is allowed 500,000 baht tax allowances so no tax for marriage extension, and not a lot for a retirement extension.
  10. As an Everton supporter, I hope they will win However past experience shows that after a win or two, expectations are smashed by reality and they lose then next game or two. I expect a draw at best.
  11. I have been working overseas for 48 years, now retired. When my mother died, I and my sister inherited the house, a 3 bedroom semi detached in UK.I bought out my sister. My son lives there now, has done for about 6 years. Next year my daughter will also live there, she has lived in UK previously. When I die, the house will be left to both of them. I doubt if they will return to live in Thailand. I also use the house as my address for banks.Suggested I sell the house and buy a smaller cheaper one, both children asked me not to. The house has been in the family since 1936 or so. Been married for 33 years, everything in Thailand is in the wife's name
  12. The top flight league title stayed in the same city for seven years. Who and when? Everton 1939-1946

  14. I said to my wife I bet you can’t say anything which would make me feel happy and sad at the same time ! She said ‘ you’ve got a bigger willy than your brother’ !
  15. I get mine every 4th Tuesday, so 3rd October and 31st. Arrived OK, but my pension is sent to a UK bank.
  16. K-pop girls like Rangers!! https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/oct/24/k-pop-band-mistakenly-sport-wrong-rangers-shirts-at-dallas-gig
  17. Just done my extension in Ubon. This time they wanted copies of my childrens birth certificates, even though they are 29 and 26 and live in UK.
  18. Interesting article about Salah. Salah has come a long way since he signed his first professional contract as a 13-year-old at Al Mokawloon in Cairo and it earned him a monthly salary of 125 Egyptian pounds or £3.32 https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/sep/29/liverpool-mohamed-salah-earning-at-least-1m-a-week-adviser-ramy-abbas
  19. On the back of the card reader there is a small hole marked reset. Have you tried pressing that in with a pin?
  20. I have a spare Nationwide one. PM your address and I will send to you.
  21. Everton fans are the most pessimistic in the Premier League. Can we get a trophy for that? https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-12309949/Everton-fans-LOWEST-optimism-ahead-new-Premier-League-season-Sean-Dyches-face-prospect-relegation-battle-according-Sky-Bet-survey.html
