  1. proxy votes are votes in attendance - they are represented at the meeting.

    But Trajan, I've a problem with this bit:

    (example) 30% attending a Meeting

    however, let's say that you only got 30% of all possible votes to attend the meeting (you still have a quorum), but 20% vote to remove the manager and 10% vote against...the manager stays, because even though the majority at the meeting won the resolution, the vote did not reach the legal minumum of 25% of the total number of possible votes.

    For chucking out a manger and a few other bits you have to have 50% or the owners represented at the meeting, physically or proxies. And then you must have a majority of the vote.

    You are correct that the manager in your example would stay, but even if the full 30% of those attending voted to chuck them out there was not 50% of the owners represented so the manager would stay.

    My reading of the law anyway.

  2. The sign for the government test centre I always though looked a bit like a castle. But someone else's description as looking like a cog seemed much better. It is (if I recall) yellow on blue??

    Go down soi 19 and if not there come back up soi 17. It is at the Nimen end of the soi and sooooo easy to find. (don't forget odd number soi's are on the left side heading towards T Suthep) Its a big shed with car pits and car wash etc

  3. A bit closer to home.

    Nimenhimen Road, soi 17 or 19. Which ever there is the normal cog or castle sign on the junction. On the left hand side of the soi is a big open space with cars etc. Car wash at the far end. Go to that end and the guy sitting at the table will do the test, give him your green book and then he will do the test, tax and insurance. You pick up your green book and tax disc a day or so later. Cost is a smidge over 500 baht.

    Used to be a tv to watch during the 10-15 minutes it took.

  4. I'm getting prices of between 95 and 300 Baht a bag for the tile glue and coverage of between 1 and 3 sq m a bag.

    Is there a big difference between the bottom and top priced tile glues? Previously used a glue at 160 (now 180) Baht a bag but as I want to tile 80sq m the saving of 5,000 Baht is encouraging!

    And how much glue should the workmen use?

    PS to keep on topic I've tiled on tiles and provided you do not mind the increase in floor height it works very well. Removing existing tiles is noisy, expensive and a pain. In addition you might find that they are laid on cement so either you remove 2" of cement, again very noisy and more expense, and then you have to build up the floor or put the tile glue on top of the cement and you still get an increase in floor height. Maybe only 3mm but enough for every door to jam.

  5. I was just looking at Google earth and found a very strange bridge in Bangkok - at location 13°40'8.29"N, 100°32'18.62"E

    Has anyone tried to use it yet or is it incomplete? Maybe waiting for the next earthquake to shift it a bit?

    (Just copy and paste the location into google earth search box - I don't know how to link to the program - sorry!)
