I am underwhelmed.

Hence the reason I have insisted that all my grandchildren learn to swim.

My 7 year old Brother printer is refusing now to print any colours, only black and white. I only use it intermittently and the local repair shop says it is not worth repairing. I am contemplating buying a new one Would expert members recommend a reasonably priced and reliable one. I do not want a cartridge fed device.

I grew potatoes successfully in Scotland for 30 years, but they always seemed to sprout better if exposed to a period cool temperatures before laying out. I suggest you put them in the bottom drawer of you refrigerator for at least a week. Do not freeze.

Hold firm China, stand up to the bully!

I think Thais are highly intelligent, after all even a 3 year old can speak perfect Thai!

I get all my pensions from UK sources where they all have UK tax deducted before being paid to me, and annually I receive a P60 type form from UK HMRC to prove it . Confirm I am Not elegible for tax in Thailand. Additionally, I have not been able to find the Tax Office in Chiang mai, where is it?

This is old news, published on Facebook on Saturday.

The seats have probably all been snapped up already by greedy agents who will resell them at a premium.

Cycle 7km to pub, lift 3x1/2 litres of beer to face and cycle home. Twice per week.

I agree, I also worked as a controller for 34 ears before retirement and the procedures in use at Reagan airport appal me. VFR at night is banned in most countries for the reason that it is inherently unsafe. In an urban area it is extremely difficult to pick out another aircraft's lights against the background city lighting. And taking ones eyes off a target to scan instruments even for a second can make it very difficult to re-acquire the other aircraft. I also held a PPL with Night and IMC ratings and so have experience in this field.

Firstly, I do not believe that there are "numerous"local pilots out of work. Secondly Insurance companies often require plots to have a minimum number of hours experience before insuring the aircraft. Thirdly, a wet leased aircraft is almost always registered in a foreign country and international regulations (to which Thailand MUST adhere to) require that pilots must hold licences issued or endorsed by the state in which the aircraft is registered. It would be uneconomic to re-register the aircraft in Thailand and for the foreign pilots to obtain Thai licences for only a few months work. 9

I have read somewhere that it could have been a Tsunami resulting from a volcanic event in the Greek islands.

I have a Sharp rice cooker which has served us well . The non-stick coating on the bowl has become scratched after approx 7 years use, I cannot find a Sharp agent in Chiang mai for to buy new bowl. Can any member suggest a store? Chiang mai area suggestions only please.

I am a very light skinned Celt so I always wear a shirt and and Long trousers (pants to you yanks). My Thai neighbour (who is frequently shirtless) commented that had never seen me without a shirt. One day he came in to my house just as I had taken off my shirt to put it n the washing machine and stared at me. He asked my wife if I was ill or had a skin infection because he never seen anybody so white, even a ghost.
