  1. What is a "foul move"? Surely you can only move a piece in the prescribed way and if not replace it and move it properly - or does it not work like that?
  2. I am not sure if it is because English is not your native language but I found much of this post either pretty hilarious or disappointingly sad............. Energy mainly from rough sex........bemused much......
  3. Unless they then get swallowed up by a neighbouring country............ But otherwise probably.
  4. You mean as opposed to sitting in the middle and trying to make money off both sides.......
  5. You can actually keep it going for up to 4 years - as I have done and now on my second stint as it were......... That's setting it up for 12 months and then renewing every year.
  6. Unfortunately doesn't seem to matter too much anymore especially for "Social Media". Before you would have expected it to have been posted in Home Country forum.....
  7. I think I have only read his John Rain books. Anything else you can recommend by him? Scot Harvath is Brad Thor's books main character. Not sure if I have read any of Tom Wood so will check that out thanks. Nelson DeMille books featuring John Corey Tom Cain - character Sam Carver Did you ever read the books by John Trevanian? Eiger Sanction was turned into a film with Clint Eatwood from memory, there was another with the same character and also a book called Shibumi. Eric V Lustbader - Nicholas Linnear character (and others) - he also took over writing the Bourne books.
  8. Just watched the first episode and the words of the subs and the dialogue definitely don't match but not a deal breaker by itself - could switch off for example..... The acting, well I see where your coming from, but will try the second episode and hope it is less of an issue.
  9. The more popular downloads I saw all had dubbing in the description. Perhaps I will look for one without. Thanks
  10. Thanks - just downloaded this but haven't had time to watch.............I did wonder if dubbing was going to be an issue.
  11. Absolutely - who paid them.......... If the picture is actually of the factory looks like quite a bit of investment in machinery......
  12. According to this you can - https://www.lloydsbank.com/current-accounts/help-and-guidance/opening-a-bank-account.html However it probably means you need a UK address and theoretically you should be a UK resident.....although it does not say that on that page if you dig down I don't think they will open one for you if you say you are not.
  13. Do they mean an open window with screen or some sort of extractor fan set up or what?
  14. I noticed this morning that the leccy guys were doing stuff on 3rd Rd just before it hits Klang going north. The short cut around back of Sophon was closed off to cars. I sat at the lights to turn up Klang for 15 minutes - they didn't go green once in all that time. This was just before 10am.
  15. Yes but I was talking about the next level of discount over 300 units where it only mentions May but who knows.......
  16. Next sentence from the linked article - is it only for May however? The final sentence says the measures will benefit 41 million people..........
  17. Perhaps it has changed but some years ago I claimed for a new laptop which I was carrying in an old laptop bag and I did not have any packaging for it.
  18. Personally I am happy they are checking on houses with often young Chinese staying for extended periods. A better question may be how/why these 2 Russian "lads" joined up with a Thai gang unless they have lived here for a long time?
  19. I would suggest it does not sound dodgy unless you work for a revenue service. It is also 1 of the reasons why some people choose Thailand as it is currently possible to achieve this whilst staying legalish........ I am non resident for UK Tax but still pay tax on my UK income - generated in the UK. However I pay no tax (yet) in Thailand as I try to only transfer savings/income from previous calendar years income. I also will not complete a Thai tax return currently. The Thai implementation of CRS may complicate things moving forward but I agree with @nigelforbes that if you can avoid registering with the Thai Revenue service I would personally do so for as long as possible. So for some of your questions - 2 - Yes 3 - No 4 - currently no
  20. Metro Bar? Soi LK Metro but no live music and possibly another one somewhere along there. Hops - soi 13(2?) - sit at the bar if you can find a seat and has live singing.........and decent food I think the Stones House on Walking Street if still enclosed has A/C and live music but you may not be able to hear yourself think......
  21. Wrong thread perhaps? Turkish guy thread possibly........

    End of Songkran

    Sunrise is at 6.01am tomorrow. 4am is possible for some diehards but I think you will be unlucky if you get soaked at that hour.
