  1. OP again. After about thirty minutes queueing, someone in one of the checking windows shouted out, "90 Day Reports!" So basically all those doing it can then queue jump. A recipe for arguments. Why they can't just open a window just for 90 day reports I don't know. Or put a 90 day report queue number machine. Too easy.
  2. Arrived early today to do my 90 day report. Thought to myself, “Great. Nice and quiet. Shouldn’t take long. 8:30, doors open. Woman tells me I need to go downstairs at get a queue number. Only two windows downstairs, for checking documents. So now stuck in a queue waiting for all the people in front to have their documents checked before I can even get a queue number. Stupid idea.
  3. Is that even a word?
  4. Is there a breakdown of how the 250 Senators voted?
  5. There are reports of some some BBC employees saying that he sent messages to them that made them feel "uncomfortable." Looks like more to come on this.
  6. The boy involved says it's all bulls**t and nothing happened. So who to believe? The mother? Or the now 20 y.o. boy?
  7. As far as Dengue is concerned, it's not the tiny little ones you have to be worried about. Rather the bigger, black and white striped Aedes Aegypti mosquito. I believe they can also carry Chikungunya, and Zika i have had Dengue (one of the four strains), and it wasn't nice. Chikungunya unpleasant, but not as bad as Dengue.
  8. Rarely had a store bought pie that comes close to a home made one. At least not out here. Although Marks and Spencers Large Bramley Apple Pie back home would take some beating. And then there is the issue of price. Much cheaper making at home. Especially if cooking in bulk.
  9. Don't waste it. Just redo the icing to look like a Rolex watch face and give it to Prawit.
  10. Can he? With the defamation laws here being what they are.
  11. No licence, no insurance cover if you have an accident. The insurance company will refuse to pay out. Get licence and buy first class insurance if a new bike. I would also add no driving after dark. At least for a while until she has gained some road experience.
  12. Isle of Dogs...That brought back memories. Waiting forever for the 227 bus on a freezing afternoon after school sports.
  13. Watch out for the elephants and tigers. ????
  14. They must keep it for themselves as the only American Cheese we ever see in supermarkets here or in Europe is floppy, yellow 4" square leaves separated by plastic film. To be fair, lots of European companies now make it too..
  15. Water rationing? As you turn into the road opposite Mit Samui Restaurant on Chaweng Lake Road, that leads to the temple, there is what looks to be a 10cm black plastic pipe that is leaking badly and has beenfor at least five days.
  16. Isn't Cottage Pie made with beef rather than pork? If lamb, it's Shepherd's Pie. Each to their own I suppose. i always make Cottage Pie with beef, adding onion, carrot and peas to the mix. Once assembled in the dish, I sprinkle grated cheddar and black pepper on top of the mash before putting it in the oven on a high temp for a few minutes to melt the cheese and crisp the potato. This thread has put me in the mood to make one tomorrow. Thanks. Some others I have cooked recently were; chicken and chorizo jambalaya, chinese style chicken curry, sausage, chorizo, kale and potato hash, sweet potato, chick pea and lentil curry.
  17. 15,000 baht? Blimey! You have certainly gone all in. would take me a year to get through 15,000 bahts worth of books.
  18. So facial scan introduced for increased security, but not for foreigners. See the quoted get out clause above if you get scammed. This must be Thailand 4.0.
  19. This guy seems to have some idea of pulling himself out of a slump.: But joking aside: I think alcohol is the wrong way to go. It is a depressant. Look at your normal day and what you do? Has it become routine? Propping up a bar? Or plonked in front of the tv all day, glass in hand? Try a change of scenery. Even a long weekend away can do wonders. Find some form of exercise that you enjoy and doesn't seem a chore. Keep yourself occupied so you don't have time to dwell on things. HTH
  20. Time for the police to review their procedures in such cases. Would a taser have helped subdue someone in a drug fuelled (I presume Yaba) frenzy? RIP.
  21. Depends if there's another Joe Ferrari on the force.
