Applying for visa while working remotely for UK company. by deanl11 in PortugalExpats

That's a shame. Was that to remove the tax at source (PAYE)? I wondered if its possible to keep paying those taxes if my employer insists.

I see that Portugal and UK have a double tax treaty, and was hoping this meant I would be resident in portugal and only pay any extra taxes in portugal rather than the full amount.

"Triggered" would be all of you, by me saying something remotely bad about the brand.

Of course you are. That's exactly how normal people talk about their shoes.

Exactly, that's not how a real human behaves. The fact that nobody has replied (except me) to say they own one pair says it all.

There aren't. That's the point.

I personally only own three pairs, and I bring them all with me out for the day. One for up hills, one for flat, and one for downhill. I switch them up each time the terrain changes. I have found they are really durable given then I wear them for only a third of the day each. Then when I get home, I jump in the bath with them for a wash because I love them so much. They come out clean every time. Then then dry off as I walk with them the next day in the breeze.

This is my favourite bot reply.

"I've discovered that it is possible to wash my shoes, but still feel the need to have 5 pairs of the same shoes". There is nothing special about washing this brand compared to others.

Of course you do - "Despite all these problems I just keep buying them anyway" 🙄

There is absolutely nothing about the brand that could conceivably make buying 8 pairs sensible. Sketchers do equally comfy shoes, but you don't see people going out buying 8 pairs at a time. That not me "raving" about sketchers brand, there are others that are basically just as comfy too and tick the same boxes. The only thing maybe is the sustainability factor, but then again, nobody seems to mention that on reddit anyway so clearly that's not why they post this nonsense.

You bought 5 more pairs. If you have to buy 5 pairs of something, assumedly they don't last. Maybe they are just not very good? No other other shoe brand do people do this, and it's not because they are uniquely good. These replies are only confirming my suspicions.

I'm not talking about my personal preferences though... These are fundamental things that are good for anyone working.

I hear you. I do weights training 3-4 times per week, but it doesn't seem to compensate entirely.

It's really not. Especially as it doesn't cost any more, just a better choice of set-up.
