          I have only started. I am 5e. But leant. Bought 10% if savings on April 2nd

          I did chemical physics degree. Always bet on uncertainty. That's what my degree is on. Palace fan helps

          The best thing is You don't know and any pundit who does doesn't

          But I think it is priced in with the tarriffs.

          Depends on EU response this week. Think they will tarriffs services and tech rather the goods. As they don't meet EU guidelines

          So Goole and Pharmaceuticals will all start building plants in the UK.

          That tarriffs screen is so funny. Though RobtFPL did it.

          The E was a R and a wave function was a 0.25 =1

          So it is ((exports-impirts))/Exports lol

          Labour is the same. Just a slow painful death, that didn't spook the markets

          15% NI to every employee stops growth. VAT at 20% and if you earn 100k or above your taxed 60%. Going to south east Asia. I had had drug induced akathisia and a deep brain stimulation operation after a few pills of an SSRI and my old company was sold for 6m. I designed the bloody software. Could not work for 10 years. I will sue that. As you cannot sue the NHS. I tried. Got a free operation I guess. But I had to see him privately after waiting 6 years

          I am so done.

          Just going to enjoy early retirement in Vietnam I love that place

              Lol . I haven't voted since I voted in labour in 1997. Before Blair sent us to war. And luckily brown didn't try and sell us down thejoining the EU monetary policy. Lisbon treaty was as far as I could stomach

              I didn't want Brexit but just a custom unions and freedom movement of people

              Until it happens to you. You don't know how corrupt everything is. Trying to sue the NHS for their mistakes. The 2nd leader of deaths and injury in the UK btw and no,1 in America, is like the poor older people with jaundice since a blood transfusion a Nd got aids and hepatitis C.

              They are waiting for them to die basically as they are trying not to sue and delay. They did this to me as legally you only have 3 years to claim. So I did. I was too ill. To fight. But work and pensions wouldn't pay out and claimed the NHS and the NHS said no. Go back to work n pensions.

              Akathisia is hell on earth.

              I do run a charity to help people called akathisia alliance.

              Exactly. Can't afford Singapore hehe. I am going in the fall will travel Thailand Singapore Malaysia and Philippines and get my feet on the ground

              Then come back. Vietnam is starting a investment visa for 5 years. Still need 50k in their bonds but then you can even own land. But I will rent.

              I am old and ugly enough to know how quickly politics can change. I could invest in a condo, only for them to change their minds 10 years later. Although a condo is ok as you don't own the land underneath

              It's how McDonald's work

              Unless it there big stores they own the ground underneath. Rent out the building and that franchise is run by the manager but forced to buy there food , obviously

              It's up to you to make it a success and if it is location they shut it down and rent out the building to someone else. As they own the land underneath haha

                Singapore is expensive but everything seems to run smoothly here and the infrastructure is good. Looking forward to Vietnam on Weds. Have also heard good things about PH as everyone speaks English really well and Philipinos are super friendly people.

                  They all are. Infrastructure and food is pretty poor compared to the others. Ilioilio is supposed to be different. Like anew town but Philippines style or Cebu. daveo is supposed to be nice too. Miss the typhoons but the downside is there are some earthquakes as it is near the plate.

                  Like all hurricanes typhoon. The nearer you are to the equator the less powerful they are

                  But like flushing the toilet lol. Hurricane go clockwise in the southern hemisphere it's anticlockwise.if a typhoon etc went near the equator it loses power.

                  I saw this guy from congo filming for you tube and makes a buisiness. Fair play just showing this fact on the equator

                Thanks - good insight. I'm here for six weeks. Two weeks down already. Heading to Thailand and Malaysia after Vietnam. The Thai massage place (legit) next to my hotel in Bangkok charges £4 per hour for a massage lol I hope to come back later in the year but want to check out PH, Taiwan (unless Xi launches a 'special operation') and maybe China.

                  Starlink though is a great rural broadband solution

                  I built my business up with grants installing 4g and then 5G broadband. Then I used ubiquiti and TPlink to install network solutions

                  Yes it will be out of reach for locals but not companies especially in the Philippines were the website speeds are crap compared to Thailand Malaysia etc.

                  You're welcome btw. I have only been to Singapore. Reddit and you tube is your friend to make short lists of places to go

                  Meeting expats. I hate that word. Is good long term though Vietnam and Thailand and some Philippines as well.

                  They will tell you the best community that's speak English well. But also groups to join

                  Like if you like golf they will tell you were to go without paying through the nose, scams etc. but you tube is good for that.

                  Perhaps Reddit isn't great as it is full of Americans who are not willing to learn other cultures
                  Anyway I am going for 3 months. I need an operation so maybe 4 months that I can only afford it and have a look around.

                  Then come back for Christmas and have a better idea which and perhaps who you meet then as well

                  I love new cultures but I hate being isolated. Most physicsist are dyslexic so languages are going to be a problem

                  But fitting into what other people like and do has never been a problem

                  Just remember Crunchie hear it's a shame you can't pm here. But Russell Baker on Facebook. You'll see a lot of Palace posts on there lol, so you get the right one

          Probably switch Sarr to Murphy (have Munoz and Mateta but Sarr does better away). Don't see the point of Moving the other two on. Evanilson perhaps only one game. Don't fancy two Newcastle defenders

              Absolutely. I think we will get a win and a draw.

              League table since our 2nd win GW14 which was away to Ipswich. 6 pointer

              Games we lost were home to Fulham west hame and Everton at home.

              Have lost away since gw17. When I bought in Munoz at home to Southampton. 2-1

      Probably got to wait until 36 now. Everything's a mess at the moment, with yellow flags, rotation and plain old poor form.

      With Man City being the main instigators- hope and pray the "boring ones" don't get to the facup final and ruin yet another final...
