For example, referees are required, and some of the processing time is probably spent awaiting replies from those referees. (I don't know if referees are contacted in all cases; but if memory serves, my wife's were.)

Having spoke to my wife's professional referee yesterday, she confirmed that she wasn't contacted and my wife's personal referee wasn't approached either. I suspect that it's a mostly random event that referees are contacted nowadays.

"I suspect that it's a mostly random event that referees are contacted nowadays".

Yes! and I suspect,it's what's known in Engineering batches,as "10% Inspection" i.e 10% get inspected,and the other 90% dos'nt

Two words... Airport Takeover

Two words...Protest .....Peaceful (relatively by the Yellows as I recall)

I'm not saying your statement is untrue,but certainly more evidence is required! to tie up the loose ends, i.e please supply the source that says the following :"The 2007 constitution is no longer valid, or being used. There is currently an interim constitution, formed by the military"

Good news they are not going to make the same mistake as with her brother.

Another step in the right direction trying to do the same as brother won't work this time.

Yeah, because putting someone through a kangaroo court system immediately after the military forcefully overthrows a democratically elected government and shreds the constitution.........where she has absolutely zero chance of receiving a fair trial is awesome. YAY!!!!! JUSTICE!!!!!!

This nonsense will only drive a deeper wedge in Thai society........plain and simple.

"and shreds the constitution....."

Is this statement true?

They sunk more money into Greece, because if they hadn't there was a chance it would've pulled down the euro. Good ole Greece, stick it to em, you just might scupper this anachronistic, bloated club yet and also well done the UK for letting them get in the club.

So you don't believe the other member states had a vote on letting Greece in to Europe then?

Why is this thread even still open? It's been hijacked by rabid British America bashers. What's the point? Don't they have bars to go to? Yes, I've heard them. You don't have a culture. You don't have any history. You don't have a cuisine ... this coming from the British, that is rich! Pathetic. They have a complex. Hilariously, Americans don't care to bash the Brits. Figure that one out ... psychologically.

There is a lot of History between the USA and England which can't be learned over night,often referred to in the Media as : "The Special Relationship" which continued from one President/PM from WW1 through WW2 and up to present times! Interesting reading!

PS.Take no notice of the American and the English knockers,it's simply a basic case of: Jealousy their own country has been sitting back and doing nothing but throw insults,at more successful nations, or doing the Classic: "Biting the hand that feeds them" and there is plenty of them in Thailand !

See my other Posts on this Topic,I personally as an Englishman do not have any issues with Americans,in general they are invariably,good company,well spoken,

and friendly!

Nobody likes America but we sure get a lot of people from Europe, Asia Africa and Latin America as well as the Mid east that want to move to America and have their children become Americans. Why?

Who says nobody likes 'murika?

I think lots of folk somehow envisage a better life than in the shiteholes they live in.. Whether it works out for them or not is a different thing.

I've been there many times.. I personally wouldn't want to stay there, and that's not to say I don't like 'murcians .. I just feel there's better ways of living else where in the world.

Tell me why do you guys always feel, and react so sensitively, about what people think of you?

You just people like the other 7,293,108,475 folk that are alive on this here people farm- You ain't no better or worse.

"Tell me why do you guys always feel, and react so sensitively, about what people think of you?"

I don't speak for all 300 million of us obviously, but what irks me most and gets me riled up some days is that we're damned if we do, damned if we don't. One group's yelling for 'assistance,' the other is rolling its collective eyes at yet more intervention by the U.S. in things that are none of our business. The world and its people love to criticize and voice hatred, but never any gratitude.

Example: Was participating in a Facebook thread that was overrun with Middle Easterners screaming death to America, yet there they were utilizing American technology that had given them a voice in the world. More so than their own governments.

I suppose that's all the more reason not to be so sensitive--knowing that we'll always be angering some, while never pleasing just about anyone.

Unfortunately being American, is like being English,there are Countries out there that will never give us the credit deserved for anything,like America didn't land on the Moon,it was all shot in a Hollywood Studio and, England didn't invent the Jet engine (amongst dozens of other major world beating inventions, the same as America I might add) so get used to it,the knockers can't rise to our level,so their only option is to attempt to drag us down to their level!

OMG! does it get any worse than a hell hole called China,I wouldn't go there if you gave me a free Holiday,including tortured animal food!

Not just jailed but exiled to somewhere such as South Georgia in the Falklands and hard labour.

I'm open to anything that will cause them the severest hardship they could ever imagine.

South Georgia sounds good, a flag a few Korans and some food if and when it's available.

Let them make their own shelter and cuddle each other in the winter.

Why provide them with Luxuries?

342 baht for a pint of Heineken.

On Silom road, open air bar of the eating place that took over Niu's Jazz bar.

Man that's seriously above UK Pub prices......£7 you guys are earning too much money! Heineken is a good beer,but I could think of better for that price!

That is why, I admire you Prime Minister.

You are a patriot, and a man of honour.

I believe that at the end you will succeed with your aspirations.

Thailand will be a better country with you, in charge.

You must be joking Sir.. Are you praising a person who says this or are you being sarcastic?> He said he decided to come into power to drive the country forward, and not to let it fall into “democracy trap” any further, with promise to restore a good government with good governance and integrity."< Anyone that calls democracy a trap is to be watched very closely. Are we doomed to live here under Military Law indefinitely? I will give it to 2016 and that will be it for me.

The Democracy trap is selling your vote and pretending you are a supporter of Democracy,and let's hope Military law will be lifted sooner rather than later! but I doubt it,drastic remedies,call for drastic decisions! and the Prime Minister knows Thai people better than you or I,and knows the decisions he needs to make.And I don't think Expats are included in the equation!

Sleep well!

"I will never betray my country" - then what do you call a coup?

"You are a patriot, and a man of honour."

He's not actually, he's a man - not a very bright one based on his continual rants – who manipulated a situation to overthrow an elected government to serve the needs of the small elite that directs him.

Well we have seen your so called elected Government and the mess of corruption that transpired,that's why the Coup was necessary!

Necessary??? Wow who or what misdirected you?

So who would you like to see running Thailand The Thaksinista mob of crooks? so don't say the PTP, that corrupt disaster has been tried to extinction already!

According to Government statistics,most deaths on UK roads happen at 30 mph,so even if this kid is only driving at 20- 25 mph he could be seriously injured!

YEP! And one for any other Nationality ,If Thai Visa is to become the best informative visa advice online system,then this is the way to go!

After all Thai Visas and Governments laws and rules are individual to all Countries. I see it as the Resident Visa expert for each Country! a long way/long ahead

though.

Does anyone really believe that the population of London is only 8.6 Million ?

The headline should have said 8.6 Million registered inhabitants.

And heaven knows how many illegal immigrants are the great unknowns!

Living on a minimalist income is one thing,doing it is another thing if you have to!

I hope I never have to return.....What a cold/ grey/ expensive/ stressful shithole.

Congratulations once again England....you have gone from the top to the bottom of the pile in less than 50 years...

It's depressing me to think about it!

Why so upset? you done a runner didn't you? so no problem eh! and no need to be depressed.

Hillingdon the biggest growth. Now there's a surprise.

One of the big problem areas for beds in sheds. Rogue migrant landlords exploiting other migrants is the standard pattern.

Story here from the London Evening Standard

A family of six were found living in an illegally-built outhouse the size of two living rooms during a crackdown on beds in sheds.

Landlord Virendra Patel, 58, built the structure four years ago in a London suburb without getting planning permission from Brent council.

He concealed it from planning officers and leased it to the family of six, who lived without paying council tax in five tiny rooms crammed into the 48 metre-square outbuilding in Kingsbury, north west London.

This can't possibly be legal! and should be Bulldozed immediately!

Another good reason to vote UKIP on the 7th of May!

Superfluous.
