What Movies or TV shows are you watching (2025)
I gave this a try but quit after 15 minutes, Karen looks about 16 and has the obligatory black boyfriend/partner. Nah.

Bought another Omron BP machine from Lazada. Is it real?
Not sure I agree with that. I still have a cheap no name model I bought years ago for about 3-400 baht, the readings I get from the new one I just bought and the old one are wildly different, as much as 20 systolic and 10 diastolic difference.

Yes, that was my mistake. When I was searching for an Omron product on Lazada I saw Official Omron Store at the top and assumed it was.

It says Omron with a 5 year warranty.

Well it says official store on the page I open, not going to argue about it.

The seller tells me it was made for the Russian market, but orders were cancelled and now being resold here. They have said return it for full refund if concerned. It does come with a 5 year warranty, if that's worth anything.

My bad, there are no reviews. Because it was the "Official Omron Store" I assumed that it was a new release and none were sold yet. However, even the model # doesn't show up anywhere on a Google search except for Lazada and Shopee, so maybe it's only released in Thailand.

I agree it's good. Try Speak No Evil, the US version, that's a bit of a thrill ride as well.

Bought another Omron BP machine from Lazada. Is it real?
Bought an Omron HEM7130 ten years ago from Lazada that finally quit on me, so bought another basic model an Omron BP701 from the "Official Omron Store". However, the new model has absolutely no identifying marks, like brand, model # or where it's made, so hard to know if it's even the real deal. The old model had all the correct markings, so assumed they all would do. Now I'm a bit skeptical as to whether I can even trust it's readings.

This wasn't a movie, it's real life and broadcast on media everywhere.

Fed-Up Nottingham Dad Moves Family to Thailand for New Life
Thailand is still cheap in comparison to most western countries. I've been here 16 years, gave my Thai partner 20,000 baht a month for housekeeping expenses (for food and utilities) when I first arrived and still giving her the same amount 16 years later.

Need new tyres for Mitsu Triton after 10 years
The Triton has only done just over 20,000 klms in 10 years but the tyres are starting to develop some cracking, so need replacing. Wondering if I can put on something like Yokohama road tyres ( 3590 baht each ) instead of the heavy duty Bridgestone Dueller tyres that are on now? The pickup is only 2 wheel drive, so no need for off roaders.

How busy is Jomtien Immigration at present?
Went Monday, got my bank letter in 15 minutes from SCB, then I was the only customer at Immigration to renew retirement visa, so in and out in 10 minutes, then returned yesterday to pick up passport. Doesn't get any easier than that!

Listen to Abbey Road sometime and you'll see how innovative and creative they were. They set a very high bar.

Nearly all their hits were in the UK, they reached no. 8 in the US with Wonderwall, their only US hit. As talented as the Beatles? They wish.

They're nearly 60, old enough to be great grandpas themselves.
