DH - since I've still one chance to change by today I'll defer to Wednesday next week!

Hi Dunder, thanks for asking. What a time I've been having. I tell you what though, that Gaviscon ive been taking has helped immensely. I'll need to make a decision soon about whether to continue taking it or just get right back into eating those curries. I'll mull it over tonight as I'd hate to feel worse again if I stopped just now.

mesquida we actually have our place up for sale, we gave it 2yrs but my wife misses the grand children and family too much, I personally don't think it will be an issue but who knows and there is still a lot of uk buying over here as well.

I'd be bored if I had retired then ..still working and feeling young(ish!;) in 50s but 51 was a good year!

dcarn "April 2022. 51 a fine age to retire..............hopefully."

Snap, its tantalisingly close isn't it...

[dcarn] 19/10/2018 13:24

Here till at least the YE results after the final payment has been made to BP and will then take stock, so April 2022. 51 a fine age to retire..............hopefully.

But , robo175, what happens after Brexit ? I also am on Spanish soil, and many of the expat population here have sold up and moved back to UK because they are worried about healthcare, pensions etc. post Brexit.

Bit of a rambling thought as I really don't have much of clue about the process for dissolving the hydrate crystals but thinking about Erskine pipe bore and length when you start putting some numbers to it, its actually a pretty substantial volume. For a guesstimate using a 16" pipe with a 4" wall thickness the pipe volume is probably in the 6-7000 barrels worth range! I wonder what percentage of chemical is added to start dissolving the hydrate crystals even say 10% of that volume is something pretty significant to deal with on a rig I would think.

Just double checked...yes UK has bilateral agreement with Phil .as with eec however not with Canada Aus and nz where it's frozen which seems unfair

[robo175] 19/10/2018 11:31

Dund I moved to Spain 2 yr ago got my state pension last yr and got this yrs rise, here you can also get the Spanish health care when 65 and my wife 4 yrs younger can also get it as a dependent even though only 62.

Mate I'm sorry I cant advise re NHS because whenever been abroad for extended periods was always private insurance so never had the need for nhs.
I thought if you went retirement to another country your state pension was frozen as well? (Probably very very outdated information lol!).
I'm always interested to hear such guidance / experiences as well btw!!
If JC ever got in - I'd be gone within weeks.

Hi dh ..not officially since leaving mn in 94 I've worked summer months s/e and go abroad in winter firstly brasi , Thai and now Phil I have accountant who sorts my rebate so yes I've always been registered with HMRC and resident of UK but I'm thinking of obtaining retirement visa in Phil as it's one of few countries dwp will pay soap allowance in any named bank also no restriction on multiple entry ...i thought shares in isa were exempt anyway ... my prob in the future I like to say is the lta on sipps I also intend to hold here till 2021 apart from minor offloading to utilise Sgt and pocket money also wondering if being non domiciled with HMRC do u give up right to nah treatment therè must be others with similar situation so I'm always interested in opinions and advice

[dunderheed] 19/10/2018 10:28

nicnic mate were you formally expatriated with HMRC over the last few years?
I only ask because was wondering if you could utilise your ISA allowances if officially non tax domiciled? I know you can keep the balances etc and the existence of the vehicle but, are you able to still top up in such circumstances?

[nicnic1953] 19/10/2018 10:24

I think u will find there's a tapering effect for age increase ..im 65 this dec 16 (16 12 53) had I of been a week or 2 earlier then I would qualify on dec 16 but I did ask for a forecast from dwp 2 years ago who advised I would be eligible from march 22 next year so I will be back in UK for that and of course the bus pass !! wish I could use that in Phil...

[dunderheed] 19/10/2018 10:23

Oh right cheers haven't a clue when retirement age is lol.
I think mine is 67 possibly because I'm a 'bit' younger than you?
bh you are a mind reader lol!
Well I have an idea regardless of possible oil price weakness in the face of potential massive trade wars sqz share price will be substantially higher over the years ahead!!
Best of luck all!

[bountyhunter] 19/10/2018 09:51

66 is my guess

[dunderheed] 19/10/2018 09:38

FB is that 3.5 to 67 matey?

[dunderheed] 19/10/2018 09:38

Iranian Don (from memory excuse my bad memory if not your correct name!) how's your tummy now bruv?

[captainfatcat] 19/10/2018 09:16

FB I plan on keeping a core holding here for a few years yet maybe trade a few percent round the edges if an opportunity presents itself.

SQZ's going to be generating a substantial amount of cash that potential will fund Columbus and then Row (if successful) developments. How much will be available for further acquisitions looks uncertain but I want to be around to find out.

Hopefully once BKR completes the company might give a hint to future ambitions.

[fardels bear] 19/10/2018 09:07

I see that's flummoxed you all..

[fardels bear] 18/10/2018 22:00

Three and a half years to go until I get my bus pass (I have misfortune NOT to live in Scotland, London or Wales).Does the team think it'll be a DANA or have we a long term future?Is everybody planning to hold for that length of time and if so where do you think we might be by the?
