It is amazing how many bikes and cars stop at a pedestrian crossing with a swinging closed umbrella

Thank you Richmond.  From 42 points down and win by 7. Great comeback.

I like Brisbane but I hope they loose tomorrow. Go the Swans. 4th at the moment.

Thanks. so AUD45 per fortnight increase. Do you now, has this been specifically stated or is it a guess???

 

Friends in OZ have mentioned several times recently there's a lot of serious/angry discussion about pensioners / families (pensioners and non-pensioners) who are really struggling to put 3 meals on the table, pay rent, electricity, put petrol in the car etc.

 

We wait and see.

I do not know. I was only giving my thoughts of what FN may mean.

F.N rate ?

FN is probably fortnightly. 

I wish that the Thai motorcycle riders would take off their amulets, open their eyes and obey the road rules.

Should I answer although doing it to Bangkok Bank?

There will be no fee from SCB as the transfer is technically domestic in Thai Baht.

You get what WISE shows you before hitting the send button.

SCB, Bangkok Bank and Kasikorn are NOT hit by some strange new rule limiting transfer to 50000 Baht.

 

My transfer to Bangkok Bank is usually next day 2 PM.

Reason behind: I specify the reason for transfer as living cost for long term stay which makes it look like a foreign transfer in the book.

Other posters report transfer in a few seconds.

Anything in between.

 

I transfer from Australia using the same reason. Always same day at 1400 for the past 2 years. The only exceptions are public holidays. I transferred today and no problems.

Bangkok Bank holidays are 13th 28th and 29th.

You are in a tropical country. Why wear a tie?

Is there any meat on wings 

It is the first part of the wing with plenty of meat

I bought chicken wing sticks at my local Tesco on Friday and it was 77 Baht a kilo

I think 5 repeated 20 times is appropriate

It is probably a mistake on my behalf but the use of the word hiring means payment for work done. If this is not the case can the post be change?
