  1. Buy one of these , it will outlast you , we got ours as a wedding present in March 1986 and it is still going strong to this day and has never required any spare parts or repairs despite being used daily , completely mechanical , no pop-up feature , cuts off when timer spring unwinds , then keeps toast warm.
  2. He has a GoPro (Allegedly...)
  3. I was served by a man , I had read your post several weeks ago and had my fingers crossed that it would not be this woman , I recognised this man from many years ago when I got my initial non-O and at that time he was very easy going and helpful , how times change , he was just as you described the woman who served you .. I am not going to try at another embassy or consulate as you have done, `I just don’t have the energy or patience for all this b*lls*t , but will begin the process to regain my retirement visa from scratch…
  4. Just had my application for the DTV refused this morning at Savannakhet , reason being that they only accept bank statement from one’s home country showing 500k baht equivalent, Thai bank accounts NOT acceptable … I wish they would make these requirements public , just a heads up for anyone contemplating using Savannakhet , as I am sure this is a recent change that has not been made known…
  5. Still waiting for some quality GoPro footage of your altercation with the taxi driver yesterday ... 🤣🤣
  6. Agree with what Upnotover posted above , at the time of posting the earliest available appointment is Friday 20th Dec. Beyond 20th December , slots open on a daily basis , there is no option to book further than 14 Days in advance. Each Day's quota is quickly taken up , when it becomes available , quite possibly due to agents block booking spots , so need to get online early ie. 07:00 to 08:00 to have any chance of getting an appointment. Hope this helps..
  7. If Bangkok is not too far for you , these guys have a lot of experience servicing and repairing high end watches https://www.expert-watch.com . Branches in most Central Malls..
  8. I can recommend MosBurger located in most of the big Shopping Malls in Bangkok , fast-food type of place , Japanese , cooked fresh-to-order and not tepid like McD , not too fancy or stacked , but really good for a fast-food set-up. The Green Tea and Cheeseburger are my go to every time I visit Bangkok.
  9. Yes , the same office that does the visa extensions on the ground floor , but that was 1 year ago , so may have changed by now ..
  10. Virtually everything I pay with my phone and banking app , only things I pay using other methods are 1) Gasoline - Card 2) 7/11 - Cash 3) Utilities (Electricity , Internet ..) - Direct Debit
  11. She is busy writing up the lyrics for her latest song which is about someone who smashed up one of her guitars ..🤣
  12. the Strange Case of Mr. Farrukh and Mr. Uzair.
  13. I think that there are more than a few on here , to whom this news is relevant and welcome..
  14. Latest Earning figures released this morning from the ONS indicate a likely rise in the state pension of 4.0% from April next year , as it is highly unlikely that next months inflation figures will exceed this.
  15. You could also sell on line through www.chrono24.com , very reputable and secure site , but quite high selling fees , circa 6%
  16. A couple of suggestions for you.. 1) Papaya , a shop on the 5th floor of CentralWorld , they also have a branch at MBK , both Bangkok. 2) www.watchbyladda.com , I have bought Rolex watches from them twice , they also have a bricks and mortar shop , but they are only interested in buying good condition , relatively new pieces with full box & papers.. Hope this has been helpful..
  17. I just completed this quiz. My Score 50/100 My Time 110 seconds  
  18. I just completed this quiz. My Score 71/100 My Time 87 seconds  
  19. whilst in the UK I use Smarty , very cheap and very flexible , can pick the card up from almost anywhere , eg Tesco , Argos , Iceland etc. https://smarty.co.uk/pay-as-you-go
  20. And all the roads we have to walk are winding. And all the lights that lead the way are blinding. There are many things that I would like to say to you , but I don’t know how.
  21. At first reading I was sure this was Radiohead , 2 + 2 = 5 , the putting the world to right line is very similar , Oliver’s Army - Elvis Costello
