  1. Thanks for your help. I didn't really want to contact my card provider, as though I am registered in the UK, I am living here in Thailand. I was hoping that someone might have been in a similar situation, but it's not the end of the world, I can wait until my next rip back to the UK and order it then. But thanks once again for going out of your way to reply with your kind advice.
  2. Most of my online shopping outside Thailand is usually done on Amazon. Whether bought from US, UK or other. They have my card details, and everything goes smoothly. Amazon allows shipping to several addresses or pick up points. I now wish to buy something from a different US seller as not available on Amazon. Does anyone know if UK card providers will allow payment for something bought online in a second country, (US), and being shipped to a third country (TH)? I'm pretty sure some security flags might be raised, and I don't want to get my card locked. I was hoping to use PayPal, but it doesn't seem to work from Thailand. TIA.
  3. I was watching today, a US Congressman question a judge/former activist lawyer who defended trans rights, about two young schoolgirls who were both sodomised and forced to fellate a fluid gendered individual in the school girl's toilets or sports changing room. This was because he/she/it was allowed to use said facilities. The school allegedly tried to cover it up. As the Congressman said, "I always hear about the rights of these people, but I never here anything about the rights of the girls and women who don't want this. That do not feel comfortable changing or showering with them around." In my opinion there is no way anyone born as a male should be allowed to use female toilets. It might be a better idea to have a third set: Men's, Women's, and LBGTQAWTF+M.
  4. W... for w**ker
  5. Better not spill any on his suit. He might get bleach stains. You can smell the Chlorine in the water in BKK.
  6. Here you go Gamma: https://www.amazon.com/LG-34WP65C-B-34-Inch-Borderless-Adjustable/dp/B093TB6HZH/ref=sr_1_19?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.mL53cQwZgXaWg2eMUrB5MTSTqBHX8EW90Ly2BkPF6ZO2oLpR0bVgk3Nn0_c6Wh-QVHLEJnb66Epc6e3L8hP8cF07jkE-8PwyhWGBLWNHxC6_StPthBgY2i8F4zTaT7lDzui6OlsI1F3Ea2BWLE-MCwTsyX2EPFgmKJfU_4U52S7HC8cKOmZeVJ9ZuCwzuZrBpONxW91uoKO1bDgz8dpCudSLtIipijNG5YSWQg-uYWU.DACe9mFLYRiyfpoCZCV2tOTFk_72hVcvpVCV2Bd2Qj0&dib_tag=se&keywords=40+inch+computer+monitor&qid=1731979410&sr=8-19
  7. It's only getting worse under "Queer" Starmer. And before any of the woke brigade jump in on me using the word queer, I am not using it in the gay sense. Rather there is something odd about this Prime Minister, who blindly refuses to listen to the chorus of complaints from the public about unfettered, illegal immigration and it's effects on society as a whole, the perks scandal and the winter fuel allowance uproar.
  8. Just before Covid, every Thai seemed to be buying a brand new pick up truck. Mostly with a loan. Even then I think many were repossessed. I'm not surprised that the bank's are tightening up on lending money. They must have a whole heap of homes and used vehicles on their books.
  9. The streaming quality was bad, and at the beginning quite a bit of buffering, but that improved once the fight started. It has also been mentioned in the Press that the quality left a lot to be desired. As for te fight, it was sad to watch a once powerful fighter who struck fear into many opponents, reduced to being taunted by a loudmouthed Youtuber, 30 years his junior. Still. At least he walked away with a ton of cash, and no injury to speak of.
  10. My last invoice to cover 2024 was $4814 in-patient only. .I expect it to jump this year as I had a motorbike accident. Very expensive, but what can you do? They have you by the balls if you want decent cover, and at 66 age is against me.
  11. Oh it's diverse alright. More diverse than ever. I was back in London a couple of weeks ago. Each time I go back it feels more alien to me. New skyline, shops and restaurants I knew either gone or changed use, whole blocks torn down and replaced, foreign voices in languages that I can't even begin to recognise. By that I mean you can sort of tell if someone is speaking french, italian, spanish, arabic, russian, swedish etc., but this time there were many languages where I couldn't even guess what being spoken. Lots of druggies, and homeless on the streets as well. On the bright side, the recently opened Elizabeth Line is amazing. It makes getting across London far easier.
  12. I would love it to be Tyson, but at the last outing against Roy Jones, he looked slow, and a shadow of his former self. His speed has gone, but not his power. Years of smoking weed must have also taken their toll. I would love to see him teach the young loudmouth a lesson though.
  13. Chaweng Beach was once very beautiful, but after over 30 years of unchecked building, littering, and sewage, it is now only a shadow of it's former self. The sea is dirty, and the reef just offshore has been devoid of sea life for many years, and many of the trees removed to make way for the hotels. The white sand now polluted with tiny bits of charcoal from countless fires. The southern end is a little cleaner, due to there being no reef at that end, so the waves clean it more. i often think the authorities should import one of those sand cleaning machines they use in the South of France, and give it a good wash and filter. i can clearly remember being amazed at the beauty on my first visit back in the early '90's, and being warned to be careful of Stonefish in the sand in the shallow waters inside the reef. I doubt anything living there now. Pattaya beach, Koh Lipe was another that was way up there in the beauty stakes, far better than Lamai in my opinion, but that also has been over developed.
