The forum upgrade was nice in its infancy but the ever expanding assault on my eyes from the advertising has become intolerable.  The forum listings are now broken up and that was a step too far for me.  I understand the requirement for income on such a free site but it's gone way over the top in such a short time.

I will find my entertainment elsewhere from now on.  Good luck, TV.

I haven't got the faintest what you're going on about, laislica.

The home office can only tell me if the application is complete or not, is there anyone else i can ring who can give me more advise on the application.

Not really, unfortunately.  You'll spend a fortune on phone calls, all to no avail and merely add to an already stressful situation.

I can only suggest to those that can stretch to the premium is to visit the PSC.  Did it for my wife's ILR four years ago.  It wasn't the most exciting day that we've ever had but mission accomplished.  My eyes still smart at the expense of it all - taxis to Croydon, hotel stay for early appointment, food, drink and 1400 quid of the hard earned for the visa.  Oh well, we've all been there.

Anyway, surely your husband has some ID to register with a GP.  Does he have his biometric card available?

Off to bed now and glad that today saw an end to Hillary's presidential run.

Even if you developed some kind of relationship with her, there would be months at a time when you wouldn't see her because the ship would be in another country.

And she'll be getting her cornfield ploughed by others in the meantime.  

You don't want much, do you?

If Hillary can make it to the live debates then she really needs a large retinue of medical staff on hand, and a bottle of her finest.  I don't want to witness Hillary keeling over live on TV as it's embarrassing but a definite possibility.  Prop her up well.

I note the secret service guys threw Hillary in the back of the wagon to avoid any further embarrassment.  She definitely won't make it to November at this rate.

Hillary Clinton Ducks Behind Pillar to Keep Press From Filming Her Coughing

That'll be the old ducking behind the pillar trick to steady herself with a quick blast on the hip flask.  

A couple of stiff G&Ts and Hillary will be right as rain, until the next episode anyway.

It is alive thankfully but with a few scratches....

Can't you just buy a stand in gerbil and hope for the best.

Not sure your girlfriend's friend's daughter will be best pleased to find her gerbil has been savaged by a crazed Shitzu.

I have been using XendPay for a while now.  Funds usually take three days but they do offer excellent rates and you can pay what you want for a transfer fee, i.e. any amount or nothing.

XendPay rate this weekend is 46.11, Bangkok Bank 45.64.  Not even BB's TT rates compares to 46.11. 

Thanks for the heads up, kkerry.  Useful dongle and will be purchasing one for my wired Bowers & Wilkins earbuds.  I am interested in wireless earbuds but nothing on the market at present that I want to purchase.  

Anyway, my newly purchased black iPhone 7+ should be here next week.

This is hilarious.

A new trend in protests at trump monster truck campaign rallies.

Hold up pocket CONSTITUTIONS.

Watch the trumpeteers boo!

So patriotic! 

Watch starting minute 13:

 

 

I doubt anyone cares.  Post your vote on 8 November, JT.

2) Donald Trump will rip her to smithereens.

The Donald is primed to dispatch Hillary.  We're about to witness the most bonkers run-in ever and it isn't going to be pretty. 

The Donald is causing mayhem again and his popularity commensurately soars, as always.  Roll on the start of the live debates next month.  

Hold on to your seats.

And you pay in US dollars so you get ripped off big time on the exchange rate as well as the rate being very poor right now.

The government cottoned on to a nice little earner ages ago and won't be giving it up any time soon.  

Even before the USD scam, they shafted my wife and I with their fantasy GBP/THB exchange rate that was impossible to replicate at the money changers.  

Agreed, it's a huge con.

Bleeding great banner ads across the top of the page covering up links in Safari.

Great thread and very entertaining.  As an aside I note The Donald isn't slowing up any, merely warming up.

That's OK but that other thing was HUGE for the way I used the forum. 

 

Is this coming back or not?

 

If not, I'll have a real learning curve to understand how to use this forum as before. 

 

Ermm, take your time.

Be honest and highlight visa runs and trips where appropriate.  You'll never go wrong with playing it straight.  Keep it brief, though.

I think there are 16 entries in total ...

Edit:  just list them all and leave no room for ambiguity.  Sixteen trips isn't a great deal to evidence.

I don't think the format is too bad.  Been on for two hours and well aware that it's already becoming second nature.

I've been in to computing since early 80s and just roll with it.

Just trying to find 'benefits' to applying after a successful application last time.

The circumstances are even easier than last time, so looking forward to a yes ...

There are no benefits and the circumstances are not even easier than last time.

It's a fresh application and should be treated as such, unless you like living dangerously.

I should add that the Laotians will take your baht all over the country.  It is the no.1 currency in Lao.
