What's needed is a low powered vehicle (electric bike perhaps) to replace the motorbike. People like the fact that they don't have to rely on public transport especially if a short journey (like around town).

When they introduced mopeds to Britain years ago they were restricted to under 50cc and you could ride them on a car license.

I have driven hundreds of thousands of miles and never once had a single vehicle accident.

Weeeell, as I have posted, I have taken care of a few PC's for folk with results they and I were happy with.

Done mainly with easy fixes because the owners never did the fundamentals.

 

Nobody here can say my fixes didn't work because they did.....????

 

Many years ago I gave a PC problem to a shop, on starting the thing up I find stuff missing, so for years I have been fooling around finding fixes, it has been good fun...................????

 

Ok Where do you live?

Help. My PC is running slow. The trouble is I am absolutely useless at trying to follow instructions. So often I read "do this or do that" and i look at thee screen and have no idea what they mean.

I started to browse different sites and read that this program will do this or that. But what I really need to be told is there one program that even a 4 year old could follow. Like hit button "B" and after that everything  is automatic.. I know that's a lot to ask for.

 I know there are some computer experts out there. So what I'm asking for is any recommendations and advice.

Thank you

At least he wasn't caught with his hand in the Cookie Jar.

I drove an ambulance in the 70s. We were told that we could drive through Red Lights, go the wrong way up a One Way Street etc, but any accident would be your fault and you would be charged.

If I was driving a vehicle that was carrying drugs and weapons I would drive sensibly and also made sure I had enough rest.

Good to see full PPE in use.

Safety last Thailand.

As an ex fireman I thought that, but Thai fireman are flameproof.

61.000 dead of what and where?
Measles was a harmless child disease when I was young, but everyone had to take care to have it as child because it can be terrible when you get it as grown up.
So not being vaccinated while most around you are vaccinated it is a high risk

I don't know about it being harmless. According to WHO figures in 2019 207,500 people died from Measles.

I need to get my Marriage Certificate translated and notarized for my pension provider. No hurry but the wife will need it when I'm dead so she gets a percentage of my pension.

So I need a name and address of a suitable company obviously the cheaper the better as long as it's done properly. The only dealing I've had with a lawyer here many  years ago didn't end well and it turned out he wasn't qualified.

So I don't wont to make the same mistake again. With the number of expats in Pattaya there must be some of you who can recommend a descent company or individual.  Thanks

I don't think I've ever come across a cart with a Lithium batter. They are normally standard car batteries.  Some years ago a fire at the Navy Course in Plutaluang wiped out loads of carts in there parking /recharging area. and they were definitely standard batteries.

An idiot, just like that politician years ago who said the smog over Chang Mai was caused by Korean BBQ s.

Amazing.  Where do they get their weapons, it's not as if you can just buy these things on the street.......

Sarcasm at it's best.

i agree 100%. i will never go back to uk

But you still need to renew your passport, and if your in your 70's or 80's you might be looking at an easier way to do it.

Tony has reopened a gym on 3rd Road. Does anyone know if I can use my Lifetime Membership Card which I've had for 15years. I was surprized that I still had it. I thought I threw it away when the original gym shut down.

Looking at the colour of the water coming out of the pipe I'm not sure I want it anyway.

During the last couple of weeks I have been amazed at the number of people running red lights.. The other day I saw two Baht Buses drive through  2 red lights on pedestrian crossings. Nothing unusual in that you might think but there were people on the crossing at the time.

I don't know if Tony is a crook (I suspect he is) but compared to the lot we have now he is a saint.

I have only shown them my electricity bill. That's always been enough when I go to Jomtien for my certificate. Theoretically it's free but I'll always paid 300 Baht.

The disabled could use a different side soi rather than make a drama about it

Why should they. They have enough problems getting around than wondering if the main entrance to Walking Street will restrict them. The solution is a police force that upholds the law. Not to restrict anyone with legal access. And as for the view about whining to much.. You should walk in somebodies shoes before writing such rubbish.

Coming from Jomtien I pay 10 Baht. If I go past Pattaya Klang I pay 20. It seems fair to me.

We get off at Pattaya Central at 1900 from Korat which then runs to Patong. I'm sure buses run from there though the day.

Bit confused there . Patong is a long way away and on the other side of the gulf.

How about a written version as well, in the OP?

Feedback yesterday had a clear majority in favor of the written words. Just sayin'

 

 

I get my coat ..........

 

I agree with you. I much prefer the written word. I miss Roosters written comments at the weekend.

Seems all the  Thai AMLO and banking reps attending international anti money laundering training  and conference sessions which is being implemented in the Thai financial system.

 

Expect to see a lot of innocent people getting frozen out of their bank accounts for suspicious activity (no access to their money) whilst the banks conduct due diligence.

 

I had this happen to me. No fault of mine. A friend made a mistake. It took them weeks to unfreeze it.
