  1. i was born immediately after the 2nd world war, there were 8 boys and 5 girls in my class in primary school and that continued for more than ten years. As a result many of my contemporaries remained single until over thirty. women had a great choice and became very dismissive of men.

     

    Also, I found this blogger gabbles at such a speed that she was almost incoherent. This seems more common with women.

    Or crumbled Danish blue cheese on a haggis pizza. Boladh géar as they say north of the Trossachs.

     

    You'll thank me for it.

     

     

    Brawly Feekit.

    ARO have gone in to cheese.

    Tried the Gouda and Edam slices which were fine and yesterday saw they now have Tasty and Vintage blocks. Bought a Vintage at Makro but yet to try.

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

  4. 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?

    I've never heard the term "bed towels."  Google search doesn't help.  What are they?

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

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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?

    Perhaps skinflint boomers are a product of their parents who grew up during the Great Depression era of the 1930's.

    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.

    My guess is that they have a different e-mail address for you. I mostly use just one, but one time I gave my other address to a site and forgot. I thought I was having the same problem as you but then remembered to check the other address and there was the reset from the site.

    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.

  11. 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.
