I think the OP is correct, there are lots of dramas showing on the UK Netflix not available here, and currently what is available is mainly rubbish.

You seem to have a problem with No.3 why can't you just ignore all the nonsense posted on his social media like most of us do ?

They think because they started the first league, they have some right to the World Cup. 

In actual fact, it was their neighbours who invented it, golf and many other things. 

football doesn’t originate in England and that the line ‘It’s coming home’ in the fans’ much sung song of the Three Lions is a “flat lie”.

Did you conveniently ignore the word claims ?

Why don't you give it a rest, if you had followed the build up to the final and the reporting after you would have seen a healthy respect for the Spanish team and  after i haven't read one article that suggests the Spanish were anything other than the better team and deserved winners.

1. No

2. Yes

 

If you have married a prostitute like a lot of foreigners do, then no. They dont count.

 

if a married person engages in sexual activity with a prostitute or pays for such services, it may not under the civil and commercial code of Thailand be considered adultery

 

Furtheremore

 

Definition of Adultery in Thailand

It is important to take note that all parties involved in the act of adultery can be liable for adultery and may be sued under the civil and commercial code.
Adultery in Thailand is defined as sexual intercourse between a person who is married and another person who is not their spouse.

 

If a married woman plays up with a single male that is considered adultery.

If a married man plays up with an unmarried women then this is not considered adultery.

If a married man plays up with a married women then it is considered as adultery.

You seem to have problems with basic understanding, it states paid sex does not come under adultery , the past occupation of the spouse is immaterial.

You have to laugh at the Aussies whinging now, talk about desperate.

An earlier post mentioned the topic of discussion was the Ashes test series but difficult to debate with such one eyed members with very little knowledge of the game of cricket.

I was so happy we managed to draw the series after another nail biting test. Like all of the other matches the 5th test swung both ways before England grabbed the initiative in that last session.

2-2 is a fair reflection of two evenly matched sides who treated us cricket fans to a thrilling series. No point talking about the 4th test,

nearly 2 full days lost to rain, despite Englands strong position it still could of gone either way.

was planning on congratulating Australia on retaining the Ashes, but as the thread is full of whining Aussies talking nonsense i won't bother.

Shame the weather got in the way of what up till now was a cracking test series that despite the uneducated comments from the Aussies on here, could have gone either way.

Actually i am better than that, congratulations on retaining the Ashes.

Yes I'm on his birth certificate, some good questions so far. I don't know for sure she is at work all the time. My son is at school & I can work then & do some in the evening, I also have no intention of taking him out of Thailand I like it here, there are worse places to live.

My immigration status isn't a problem and I have already been to the police to document the various incidents, actually a question I would like to make is how do I press charges or make a prosecution at a police station? Because so far all the police have done is document the various incidents and given me a copy. Maybe I can have her charged for the smashed TV etc?

And yes she has picked up a knife before, as I say I think getting out and then dealing with the consequences after maybe the way to go. 

i think you need to let the incidents go and focus on moving elsewhere with your son, your wasting energy on a person who obviously is not worth it, ask yourself what outcome you would like and then think about the likely hood of that happening.

I went through similar and was quite surprised how easy they agreed to me having custody of our daughter.

Hijacking the thread.....soz.....what do people use to fix 'hollow' tiles?

 

Just had the local village idiot do about 90 sq m and half are hollow sounding.

I would be interested in answers to this also. I have a couple of hollow tiles and was thinking i will have to remove them and replace with new tiles, only this time apply the adhesive to the whole area under the tile.

Improvement after a stroke can continue for up to 6 months and is indeed quite gradual.

 

Some deficits an be permanent but for now, stay hopeful.

 

The most important thing is to prevent another stroke for which control of hypertension and lipids is essential. Most people do fine on statins and if you do not, there are other drugs (though more expensive). Just do not ignore the issue, it is a major risk factor for future strokes.

 

They should also have put you on low dose aspirin or an anticoagulant -- did they?

 

Lastly strokes are often preceded by what are called "mini-strokes" - -so if you have any more episodes of this sort (or other episodes of feeling "strange") do not delay, go straight to a (good) hospital.

 

The effects of a  stroke, if of the thrombotic type, can be averted if given a medication to dissolve the clot within 90 minutes of onset. Only higher level hospitals can do this. Where do you live?

Thank you for your reply Sheryl.

I was prescribed 81mg of aspirin alongside the other tablets and i have been taken them all as directed.

Going by your reply i take it the numbness will continue and there is nothing i can take to reduce this ?

Regarding further episodes, at work today i did suddenly start feeling dizzy and weak again, but apart from the continued numbness, no other symptons and after about five minutes was feeling kind of ok again. It was this episode that led to my OP.

I live in Samutprakan which has a few international hospitals. The first one i visited was Thainakarin which was recommended, but it was them who told me the MRI was clear.

If you have another recommendation it would be much appreciated.

Took me about 3 months to recover from a stroke. Beware of statins. They didn't agree with me.

Interesting, did you make a full recovery or still have some issues ?

For a few months now i have a constant numb/fuzzy feeling from left side of torso and all the way down the left leg. It is uncomfortable rather than painful.

I believe i can trace this back to doing some DIY at home, using a ladder to fit some lights and then having to descend as i came over all weak and dizzy and have had these symptons ever since.

I visited the hospital who gave me a brain MRI and said that was all clear and started treating me for some nerve damage. I ended up trying 3 different courses of treatment with no improvement before i decided to collect all my records and change hospital.

Second hospital checked the MRI scan report and did more blood tests and have said i had a "stroke event" and then put me on four different tablets to treat Hypertension and high Cholesterol. Now both of these were high despite regular exercise and an ok diet and i have continued to take the tablets.

However, the numbness down the left side has not improved and becomes quite uncomfortable by the time i get home from work and i have no real energy to do anything.

Any suggestions are welcome.

Perhaps YOU should read the Thai Highway Code.

 

Documents in both English and Thai attached, just to confirm what others on this thread have already told you.

On Thai roads YES.

It's a different system here on Thai roads.

 

It really annoys me when foreigners complain about this and that regarding driving on the road. I see foreigners coming to intersections blasting their horn aggressivly. When approaching an unsigned intersection without traffic lights just allow the first vehicle right of way, wait your turn.

 

Roundabouts are a big problem, Thai's are too polite, they stop (having right of way) for vehicles entering. 

 

There are many examples, foreigners need to assimilate, learn these techniques. 

 

Maybe you should learn the Thai highway code, the driver entering the roundabout has right of way.

i dont know about this situation but i dont think you can pay them directly. the mortgage is related to your wife and her ID and so on. most likely she has some app in her mobile and telling the payments and so on.

at this point i would not trust you are paying them. in the future all can come to a point actually you didnt do any payment. i would check this

 

UNLESS: your wife gave you the password to the bank app and you have the full ownership of the app. banks use app for the payment

i pay directly to the mortgage account number and the monthly statement is sent to the house.

I found out about the non payment as i opened a statement one day.

Previously i would pay to her account and she would transfer to mortgage account, was only 2 missed payments so wasn't burnt too much.

Why would the bank talk to you? You are not their customer.

 

 

Actually i am in similar situation as OP, apart from selling.

Originally i was transferring the mortgage amount to the wife until i found out she had missed two payments.

I went to the mortgage issuing bank with all details and although reluctant at first we ended up having a dialogue once they realised i was their only option of getting their loan paid.

The outcome of which ended up with me paying direct to the mortgage account and its been this way for around 18 months, with me and my daughter happily living in the family home.

However should the house go on the market then it is the wife as owner who will be involved in the selling process.

I don't understand the confusion.

Mortgage is in ex-wife's name so she informs bank she is selling, the Bank advise how much is left on the mortgage.

Buyer agrees selling price and up to them how they raise the funds, cash or apply for mortgage of their own.

Negotiate transfer costs between both parties and then go to Land office who facilitate the transfer.

Actually you can agree that any profit be paid directly to you, no need to go to ex wife first, but she will definately have to be involved at Land office.

Wife's Bank get paid their money, Land office get paid their money and wife gets the remaining amount (profit from sale) and then she pays that to you.
