  1. I was required to be present at all 3 of my sons passport applications, that is both parents present. That was at HK consulate.

    edit ~ he is a minor

    Was this for first time application? or renewal as the rules may be less for a renewal.

    This is not an issue for Thai immigration as she is not an immigrant, she is a Thai Citizen.

    Best get down to the Thai passport office and sort out what you need.

    It was first time application and the second and third renewal . They only issue a 5 year passport to minors. We have had the same officer in all cases. They also coduct a bit of an interview with questions about school and so on . On the last application my wife went alone with my passport but they would not accept that and I had to take a day off from work to be present.

  3. I have a memory of my first visit to Parhead to watch Celtic , I think it was against Aberdeen but more likley Partick Thistle, for a mid week game . My old dad took me and my cousin probaly about 6 at the time and we were right up the back of the jungle , I was blown away by the floodlit stadium and we got shots each of a shoulderie from my dad. The thing was though, and this had not been picked up my dad , was me and my cousin were wearing our new tracky bottoms sent over from Australia by our gran , and my cousin's were blue with red stripes down the leg and mine were red with black stripes . Needless to say a few heads turned and my old man was saying things like ," fuxake theyr only weans , christ , their granny sent them over from australia" and so on.

  4. My first games were over the styles with my father at Firhill , early 70's although the football match that is most memorable and truly had me enthralled and terrified at the same time was Scotland vs Argentina at Hampden Park. There was pipe bands and the hope that goes with a big build up, 1~3 was the score . Maradonna as a youngster scored his first international goal that game .

    I was at the uncovered "celtic " end with my old Dad and it was a scorching day , I was about 8 years old . The Scotland fans were nuts and it was throwing bog rolls down the terraces and steamimg drunkards gallore scarry stuff , couldn't take my eyes of the crowd .

  5. So, now I know where all those alcohol preseved snakes in a bottle come from.It is the despatcher of snakes to the spirit world , he who kills the evil biblical serpent, he who reads but learns not, mocks and kills! Well thank you very mucho, I love drinking that stuff.

  6. Hello folks.

    I am looking to buy a telescope for a bit of star gazing . Is there still a small shop on the ground floor of big C selling them? Cheers

    No, no shop there selling telescopes.

    Cheers , I had a look around the shops outside big C as well and there is no optical shops . The closest is a guy selling army hobbiest gear but he was shut on sunday .
