I'm 80 now.

How difficult/easy is it for a novice to fully load one of these boxes? I'm tempted to buy one just because it will play most video formats, but it would also be nice to watch whatever else I can add to it.

Thanks, I'd be happy to pay 8000 baht for the convenience. Do you have the name of the agent?

That's why I said an agent (or someone).

Which mulberry bush is that?

It seems the bedlam at Immigration seems likely to continue, so when my retirement extension is due in a couple of months I'd prefer to have someone just do the queuing for me, as at 80 it's getting to be a bit much to stand there for hours. I have the money in the bank, I can get the bank letters, fill out the forms etc, so shouldn't have to pay the full agents fees. Has anyone used an agent or anyone else just to submit the paperwork and pick up the passport with the new stamp?

Never been asked to prove I'm still alive in 14 years of living in Thailand.

I renewed my 5 year a couple of months ago and the perception test has been dropped. Only colour and brake tests.

My ex wife owns her own house so has no rent to pay, yet she complains that she can't live on an Aussie aged pension, so runs credit cards to the limit, but then money management was never her forte.

What is a box that can play all modern formats?

I lived in Katherine NT as a kid and aboriginals weren't allowed to buy alcohol (they also couldn't vote) and there were no drunken aboriginals killing each other or neglecting their children as there is now. Alcohol has destroyed aboriginal communities.

Semen found inside her and she wasn't raped? Are the police saying it was concensual?

I didn't see if it plays HEVC, but I'm now thinking that it might be easier to just avoid that format. I read that you can add HEVC capabilities to VLC player under TOOLS but I don't see that option on my Android TV.

What kind of Android box?

The Panasonic is a TH-43LX800T Android TV. I took a USB stick with a couple of HEVC files to the TV seller today and the stick wouldn't play on either a Panasonic of Sony TV. I was thinking of buying an external media player that will play everything. Of course I can just avoid downloading HEVC files which is probably the most sensible solution.

Just tried it on my new Panasonic Viera and VLC say no files detected when I have two HEVC files loaded.

I have a Sony Bravia and a Panasonic Viera Smart TV's that I use mostly to play downloaded movies with a USB drive. However both TV's won't recognise some formats like HEVC, so what media player is there that will play everything?

I no longer use it, but Fascino pharmacy may stock it.

I persevered with episode one, but there's nothing new to see here, just another virus turning nearly everyone into zombies. This theme has been done to death so won't persevere.

I'm colour blind so always needed help on identifying the colours when they were just dots in a circle. Now it's just like a small traffic light where the three colours flash randomly, red, amber and green, so can pass that one easily.

That test has been dropped in Pattaya, they only ask you to identify traffic light colours and a brake test, that's it.

I'm not a driving instructor, and this is how the majority of Thais get their licence. Take it up with the Ministry of Transport, not me. I might also add that she hasn't actually driven a car since getting her licence, so other road users are not at risk, from her. Can't speak for the many thousands who got the same degree of training.

Any figures to back up that it's peanuts?

My Thai partner got her licence a couple of months back through a driving school. She did a total of about 4 or 5 hours actually behind the wheel and she is still far too nervous to drive by herself or drive in busy traffic.

Part of it's charm.
