Or are still considered to be teenagers at 26 years old …Amazing Thailand! 🤣

A woman may win my hearth , but my mantelpiece will always be out of bounds ...🤣

This 5yr multiple entry visa may be stretched out to close on to 6 years if one were to make an entry in to Thailand close to the expiration date on the visa , then applying for another 180 days extension at the end of that 180 days , if an extension had not been applied for during the validity of the visa to that point..

My daily routine usually involves fixing something that has gone on the blink , this month alone a wheel fell off the lawnmower and needed replacing , the cable that runs from outside the house and provides my internet has somehow broken and a rubber hose on my Dyson vacuum cleaner has also degraded and needs to be replaced..and as fast as I repair stuff other sh*t packs in .. Oh! Coffee and Peanut Butter on Toast for Breakfast..

think price gouging is bad in Thailand , it is just as bad here in the Uk , and they only take bloody card an 'all ..

You did do something wrong - you spoke Thai to her and when you do that , it seems to set them off for some reason ..🤣

When I lived in London , I once purchased an umbrella from a specialist umbrella store in the west-end , quite expensive but really great quality and lasted me for many years , up until I left the UK for Thailand , when I sold it thru eBay and basically recouped most of what I had paid for it years previously.. The shop is James Smith & Sons (est. 1830) https://www.james-smith.co.uk

had 2 dongs..🤣

Yes , totally agree with you , for me it is not the puzzles themselves per se that I am hooked on , but more the challenge of extending a winning streak or breaking a time trial record , I am also the same physically at 71 years young , but still running marathons and being competitive ..

I keep my brain active by doing SuDoku puzzles daily from the New York Times site www.nytimes.com. I set to the HARD level and try to complete against the clock. My best time to date is 11m:48s set on Wed. 27th March with no guesses and no cell reveals..this feels as though you have ran a 5km flat out ..exhausting .. I even have a warm up before and juice up on coffee or M-150 .. I also do the WORDLE puzzle daily from the same website ..record streak to date 237 , currently on #78 streak. When I am in Europe , I tend to do Cryptic Crosswords , very rarely manage to complete one , perhaps around 1 in 10 , London Times newspaper.. 1 in 4 Metro (free London Morning newspaper)

What airline does that?

I have just recently flown with a certain LCC from London Stansted to Boston via Rejkavick and they are now charging extra for luggage to go into the overhead lockers. They have 2 of those luggage frames at check-in desks and again at the boarding gate. 1 frame is used to test luggage dimensions for the overhead locker and a smaller frame is used for luggage that should fit under the seat in front of the passenger. They were rigidly enforcing this requirement at both positions (Check-in and again at Boarding Gate) and anyone who had not prepaid for hand luggage/overhead compartment were being charged 90 Euros.. There were arguments all over the place and the flight was delayed by over an hour because of this nonsense..

My State Pension has now moved higher than the tax-free allowance (£12,570) following this Years increase of 8.5% On my Notice of Coding for 2024/25. the treatment for tax purposes of my State Pension remains untouched ie the excess has not been taxed DIRECTLY , but I have been given a K-- code , which means that the tax that I should have been deducted from the State pension is deducted from a secondary pension that I receive. The secondary pension then is first taxed as per normal ie -20%. The remainder is then taxed using the K-- code/12 as it is paid Monthly. I do not know what would happen if one is only in receipt of the State Pension , but by the looks of it , it would appear that the tax would be held as a debt owing to HMRO.

Flying next week London Stansted to Boston and they are charging for use of overhead lockers , that must be a first , your carry-on baggage must be able to fit under the seat in front of you to avoid being charged extra..

already the case with airasia flights from KL or BKK to Sapporo.

Nice one..🤣

Just waiting for the avatar now , my money's on Sir Les Patterson or Crocodile Dundee

When I go out for an early morning run , I take this light from my bike with me and set it to strobe. I have been using this device for over 5 years now and it works a treat on aggressive dogs , they cannot help but stare at the flashing light and are , of course temporarily blinded. I have become so used to running with this that I don't even have to break my running stride whenever I encounter any dogs .. IMG_0084.mov

it is now , just checked..

Hi , Plenty of the old style circular fluorescent bulbs available on Lazada.

Firstly , apologies if this has been asked before , did check , but found nothing.. I will be arriving at Phuket International Airport from Kuala Lumpur in April and would like to know if there is a fast track lane through passport control for the over 70's. I have found , through this site , that they have such a thing at BKK. Last time I arrived on this flight a few Months ago , I had a wait of over an hour and don't think I could go through that again at my age. Did a lot of searching for this information , but all I could find were some kind of dodgy looking sites charging a steep fee , for so called priority service.

Why Japan , perhaps she was looking for a genius for companionship ... 🤣

Why is she wearing a pomelo on her head?
