My wife and her relatives do not like to walk anywhere. they will always call me to go to a shop or drive one of them a few hundred metres.

I bought 14 year old granddaughter a bicycle so that she could go for her own ice cream or other goodies, She ignores it and wants me or her Pa to drive her.

You can mock the man but you'd be surprised how many western politicians don't get this simple fact. Trying to combat drugs is futile. Countries would be a lot wiser to just go with the flow and legalize and control the market as they've been doing with alcohol and tobacco since forever. Accept that many people buy and use the stuff.

Seconded!

I have have tried all the suggestion without success. 

So, I dug up an old laptop with Windows 7 installed and tried again. no good, clicking verify by EMail failed to produce any response.

I then tried the same laptop using Google Chrome and it all worked , no need for verification and my order has been accepted. WIHIH.

I have a longstanding account with Lazada.

Recently, I have been trying to log-in to place an order. The site either rejects my log-in as incorrect user name or password. I AM inputing the correct details, so I try again. It then requires an identity confirmation and announces it has sent an EMail to my address. I have received no EMail

I have tried 3 different computers using Firefox on Linux Mint and Windows 10. I have also tried 2 different 3BB networks with no success.

Is any other member having difficulty with Lazada?

Can any member suggest a cure?

Stating the bleeding obvious!

2 of my cats died, cause (proven)  was Covid and the vets couldn't help them. Sad but true, cats can carry the Covid virus.

See my previous post about possible Covid 19 in cats. I buried 3 robust toms in 2 days.

I wonder if there were similar debates eons ago when our distant ancestors savagely dragged felines and canines from their clowders and packs, and forced them into domesticity.

 

But more importantly, did the caveman ( or indeed, the cavewoman or non-binary caveperson) have a word for virtue signaling?

Read " the Cat that walked by itself"by Rudyard Kipling. It puts a different view.

Parental guidance is inadequate.

Sorry, but how do they attribute this as a freak accident.

Definition of freak accident..."a very unusual and unexpected event or situation"

Sadly, on these roads it is neither unusual, nor unexpected. The selfish moron was driving too fast, and ploughed on with the standard "I am bigger than you, and more important than you" attitude..............

I apologise in advance if this seems like a rant. 

My sympathy to the Husband who will probably never see proper justice done.

R.I.P. Young Lady.....
 

 

Seconded

Tomatoes grow happily in large pots, approx 40cm is enough and you can move them around to take advantage of sun or shade.

If as suggested she was Chinese, could it be that she momentarily forgot that Thailand drives on the left and looked the wrong way?

50 years ! for only 641,000 Baht , what about those getting millions

in kickbacks from military deals, construction , and other shady

deals.

regards worgeordie

Seconded!

That is a big improvement.

The last time I needed to do this, I had to wait 28 days and collect in person. However the staff at the counter pointed me at and agent who was guaranteed to get it for me for a fee of 1000Baht.

No newsletter nor daily update receiver for three days, please rectify.

Thai lady told me today to be afraid of Monkeypox, three cases in Thailand.

I said, "no"......not true.  She says, "fake news?"   Yes.  

 

Unfortunately, we had to find it on google in Thai....then she was OK.

 

IMO, we are at Defcon 1  and asleep.    COVID we went to Defcon 3.   You know we are at Defcon 5 when we are playing Tic-tac-toe all day.

That is exactly what I am getting at. Prominent headlines aimed at the gullible.

I can not find a medical forum to post this in.

I see that the Media a trying to stir up another scare, this time over the unusual cases of Monkey Pox.

I note that the smallpox vaccine is effective against it. Does this mean that because, in common with most of my generation, I received a vaccination as an infant (and a booster in my late tees, which failed to "take" anyway) , that I am immune and can continue my hedonistic lifestyle?

I am currently waiting out my "under consideration" period for a new extension based on marriage to a Thai citizen.

I did my last 90 day report on line but the future 90 days were cut to the date at which my "under consideration" period expires, not the full 90 days.

 I wonder how soon my extension will be entered in the immigration records. Will I be able to make a new report on line as soon as I return hame on receiving the stamp, or, will I need to go to the 90 day report counter in person and show them the new extension?

In any case will my first report after receiving my extension need to be in person, or will it be accepted on line?

Can whales die of old age like humans?

My brother in Glasgow renewed his passport last month. From application to receipt of the new one took 24 days. Since registered airmail to UK take 5 to 7 days each way it would make sense to get a relative in UK to do it for you. The on line application works just as well from overseas.

Just point big fan at the damp clothes. You will be surprised how quickly that works.
