URGENT. Wife is trying to keep me at home tonight, insisting that a local decree has banned all alcohol sales tonight because it is the King's Birthday. I cannot find any proof of this . Is she correct?

Let me Know how it tastes. It has not yet appeared in my local Makro.

Yesterday evening I started to cough and started a runny nose. the cough is not painful but it continues until I run out of breath and choke I bring up a small amount of salty phlegm. Today, I have no appetite and no energy, climbing the stairs leaves me breathless I have no temperature, When I cough I now have slight pain at the bottom of my ribs. I think I have a common cold but Madamme fears it might be Covid 19. No other family members are showing symptoms. What is it? No other family members with whom I have spent the last 4 day have any symptoms. What is it?

Thanks, I'll keep watching.

Large (2mx2m) thin sheets of toweling material that can be slept on. I put them underthe sheet.

Rain in Thailand is warm. Thai neighbours often comment on my ignoring of light to moderate rain and cannot understand that as a Northern European I am used to icy rain and gales and find Thai rain and wind completely comfortable.

More than 20 ears ago I bought 2 bed towels in Wararot Market. The are now becoming increasingly frayed and will not last much longer, but I cannot find any new ones. Has any member seen bed towels for sale in Chiang mai area. I can find mattress toppers in many bedding outlets but these are not the 100% cotton that I want so ignore them please.

When I retired to just outside Chiang mai, I sent for a lot of vegetable seeds from a nursery in the South of england. I planted Runner Beans, Broad Beans, Peas, standard Cabbages and Brussels Sprouts et al just at the beginning of the cool season and watered them well . They all failed. They germinated, put out a good show of leaf and died. The beans and peas flowered but did not produce seed. I suspect that the local pollinating insects failed to recognise the strangers and ignored them. If you go ahead make sure that they are suitable for your area.

When will governments learn that banning a pleasure drives it underground and into the hands (pockets?) of organised crime. Licencing cafes a la Netherlands model would bring in revenue to the government, but, that would mean the money going into to the wrong pockets.

I know it does not absolve the driver but China drives on the right, did the victim look the wrong way.

No mention fthe influence of religious groups in other areas e.g. Northern Ireland.

My family often eat Pla Too (ปลาทู). Curious as to its english name, I put it to Google Translate. It came up with Mackerel, which the fish is obviously not. Can any member give me an english or even better a zoological name for it?

I agree, My Maw and Paw endured the great depression as children and the 2nd World War as young adults. These imprinted a fear of running out of funds for the rest of their lives. Furthermore Grandchildren at university are expensive if you do not want to let them run up a large debt.

I had the same idea but the helpline staff ignored my suggestion, I suspect her technical knowledge was insufficient. I had occasion just after opening the account to correct my EMail address and I wonder if their system has reverted to this incorrect EMAil.. It may be significant that, after their upgrade last December, the payment notifications which I used to get stopped abruptly.

I do not use an Iphone.

Very UK centred, football is played all over the world.

I have been using wise.com for 4 years without difficulty. Recently, I started using a different laptop and the system detected that and claimed to send a conformation EMail for me to verify myself. That EMail has not arrived. I have tried several times to log in over the past week without success.The EMails never arrive nor are they in the Junk mail. I have spoken to their help line, who promissed to send me an EMail to help me reset everything. That has never arrived. Therefore, I request all members to recommend another, equally reliable and economic agency to use to send my pensions from UK to Thailand as promptly as wise.com. I intend this to be a temporary fix until wise.com can reset me.

"The bus lost control" Eh? How can a bus be in control of itself? The Driver lost control.

Even experienced pilots need a certain amount of retraining on moving to a new airline or aircraft type. Young newly qualified trainees are easier to train , but the bean counters will not allow the funding for it.

Ordinary washing-up liquid is almost identical to shampoo.

Details please of channels and times.

Please forgive my ignorance, What is a Crypto Miner?

Report it to the local electricity office.

10 days, but I was looking for a per diem figure. I believe she will be occupied with educational activities most of the time with a day or two free at the end. Thank for such a quick response.
