  1. Thai drivers never learn to use a low gear when descending. I have had to teach several Thai relatives the technique. None of the had ever heard of it.
  2. Yesterday I went the local PEA office to pay my bill. It was closed before 2.30 pm. Therefore, this morning I tried to pay the bill in a nearby 7eleven .The till turned up a message translating as "No outstanding balance". I cannot understand this. Has PEA decided to give me a free month or is it a gremlin in the system? Suggestions please.
  3. I counted 6 tour buses, one after another, heading south on Hwy119 towards Doi Inthanon at 7am this morning.
  4. Thank you Dr Jack.
  5. Just a bit of forward planning in case I cannot renew my extension for marriage at some time in the future. it would appear that with 2 border runs in a year, I could manage 240 days. Please confirm.
  6. May I piggy-back on this post. How many times can you be allowed to make use of this method,Especially back to back?
  7. Nakhon Sawan is a long way from the Burmese border.
  8. While searching for my new Year treat, I found , in Rimping at Kat Farang, Old Pultney 12 years old at ฿2.600 per bottle. This is a very good price for a very good single malt. The price in a super market in Scotland is Gbp38, equivalent to ฿1600. Enjoy
  9. I was in UK at the time of the referendum. I cannot recall any reference to the ECJ.
  10. I agree but she is impatient. I have suggested she tries to take a gap year working in a hospital before applying again, But a 17 year old does listen to an old grandpa.
  11. No I used to get a list of new posts in each forum every week. None have arrived for about 3 weeks and I cannot find the birds topic anywhere
  12. Luskentyre beach on the isle of Harris has been used to promote Caribbean holidays!
  13. I have not received any post in this forum for a long time, in fact, it appears to have been eliminated. Also, regular posts in the jokes forum have also stopped coming.
  14. My 17 year old granddaughter wants to study medicine at university. However, she just fails. marginally. to make the grades required. She is almost a year too young for her year at school so has time on her side. Are their any colleges in the Chiangmai area where she may study intensively to bring her up to the standard asked?
  15. I did a similar thing a few weeks ago. Bar staff at my favourite pub told me that' as usually happened, my sister-in-law's car had stopped outside to take me home. I toddled out, got into a silver Camry, to be confronted with a horrified strange woman. I apologized profusely, got out and spotted my s-i-l in her identical silver Camry just in front.
  16. I disagree with a lot of her expounded views, but for is I admire her. Peerages and the like have degenerated into bribes.
  17. More job opportunities for (illegal?) immigrants in the coming years.
  18. Correct proper porridge is cooked from raw oatmeal, water, and a touch of salt, add milk or cream to taste.
  19. My daughter was dissatisfied withe her nose. Against my objection, in her early twenties she had silicon injections which lengthened her nose. 20 odd years later it all went wrong and she needed an extensive reconstruction which required cartilage to be taken from her ribs. LADIES, DO NOT DO IT!
  20. IT WORKED! Thank you.
  21. I am using Firefox browser on an old Windows OS. I used to have a Menu Bar at the top of the page. It contained File, View, Edit, etc. About a week ago it disappeared and I cannot find how to restore it. Advice requested from Firefox experts please.
  22. Metropolitan Police should be investigated or their failure to act in the face of the many complaints which were ignored!
  23. Street lights not working, a red herring. What happened to the headlights on the vehicle?
  24. I recall "cheap housing" being built in Glasgow in the 1960s. Within 30 years they had to be demolished due to their dangerous state while the post war prefabs were still viable
  25. Where does this word "burglarised" come from? What is wrong with "burgled"? ?
