  1. Yeah, even on a big image it just won't go away. My brain is damaged forever!! Interestingly, my wife, who is blind as a bat without her specs, saw it straight away (although she didn't know who it was).
  2. In the civilised world that would be "attempted murder". Here? Take care and look after yourself! Or else!!
  3. You need bad-girls too, then you get eggs
  4. Save the file and look at the thumbnail from a distance, it's much more obvious. It's one of those things that, once you see it, it's impossible to un-see.
  5. This is Liverpool Lime Street Station. Now squint a bit and look again
  6. Remember last year we were joking about AI moderation? EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE! Ah, sorry about that, software glitch!! Rest assured that all our moderation staff are mostly human.
  7. Hover over it and it tells you that you are a Gold Member. It's another of those "enhancements" that software engineers make when they can't fix the actual bugs
  8. "Green Gas" is a mix of propane and butane, conveniently similar to "cooking gas". Video link for information only. Do Not Try This At Home

    Now, now children, play nicely and share the ball ... I hope you lot haven't scared off our OP.

    as a Mod I'm not allowed to comment
  11. Yeah, that's our experience too, the land office already have numbers in mind.
  12. Many of those who served feel the same, truly a bad joke

    Guys, take the POTY posts elsewhere please. @Doni90 POTY = Poster Of The Year
  14. Yeah, as always TiT
  15. I reckon you could walk on that even as an atheist
  16. You need to do the funds transfer whilst in the land office. Hand over the cash or cheque in front of the officer or show the officer the transfer screen (get agreements from the seller and land office on how to do the funds swap beforehand). For your electrical, you might get a licenced sparks to look over it, I've not seen an actual electrical inspector other than the PEA chap whose "inspection" was cursory to say the least.
  17. Regarding payment - Madam uses a cashier's cheque, (actually last time she used a QR bank transfer) to pay the land price, cash for the taxes at the land office.
  18. There are a number of apps that purport to be able to block spam etc. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=embware.phoneblocker Is one of many, I've not tried it but ...
  19. You can set up your phone to reject potential spam calls, I still get a few but most are flagged. Google is your friend on how to do this.
  20. Yup, reject and block!
  21. We were actually the victims of a similar scam, long ago (2004). Rented a condo from the Management Company, no problem, paid deposit and rent, got receipts. After about 3 years a lady turned up at the door and was rather surprised to see us. She had a loong chat with Madam and drank coffee. Turned out she was the actual owner and the Mgmt Co. weren't sending her the rent and hadn't told her there was anyone renting. We switched to paying her direct and stayed another 5 years. Condo management company were, er, removed.
  22. This is the key, you have to actually be a tourist. Tourist Visa or Visa Exempt only, yes they do check. https://www.tourismthailand.org/Articles/plan-your-trip-vat-tax-refund
  23. Pop the lid off the shower and post a naked photo
  24. Unsafe definitely. It may just need the lid taking off and freeing up. Many use a standard RCBO for a simple fix.
