  1. 'Palm oil or refined coconut oil and ANY oil that doesn't burn or smoke when heated to 175-210°C (345–410 °F) will do,

    A trick is to pre-fry them very short and re-fry , for longer lasting crispiness!

    Lard and beef drippings is a question of "taste"... though!

    agree there let them get cold and then refry

  2. my friend in the uk was sacked from his job, he is now on 64 quid a week , she is away back to thailand as soon as he was sacked, she still demands 100 quid per month off him. let that be a lessonto you all as it is to me, some guys just cant see past it sadly

    dmax why has your friend not claimed pension credits see here - http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Pensionsandret...dit/DG_10018692 i did a quick check and he could have claimed pension credits from 2006. there is a age calculator on that linked page.

  3. Interesting subject as my passport is almost full, only one blank page left. Nowhere near expiry date. As I am going to the UK in a few months I can renew it there but I worry that they won't get it back to me before I return here so I will probably wait until I'm back then get another from Hong Kong.

    It just seems a rip-off. Money making by the UK government.

    Apply through the post office in the UK, £90.50 for a 48 page one, very quick should be less than a week. prices shown on the IPS website are fast track ( 1 week) £120.00, same day £130.50. to apply here in Thailand have to send to Hong Kong and its about £150.00 ish

  4. On a similar note, I have booked to be in Thailand in the first half of 2011 for 109 days, leaving Thailand 26th April.

    So if I fly to ,say, KL for a couple of days before the 7th April I should get another 30 days (presumably from the date of return into BKK) ?

    I think you could extend a 90 day non immigrant 'O' Visa, for 30days at local immigration office for 1,900 baht

  5. the correct visa, tourist = 60 days + can extent for 30days

    'O' visa = 90 days if more than 90 days here get a multi entry

    mosquito net, light weight rain cape/cover, tube of colmans mustard,

    and for me...................................................

  6. I agree 100% People come here to get away from a law infested country but then forget

    Your correct there, we moan about points on licences, for seat belts, using a mobile while driving, speed cameras, etc. in the UK. Here is a refuge from all that P.C nonsense. not that i am encouraging drink drive, as having served as a road traffic police officer in the UK, I have seen more than my fair share of 'ACCIDENTS' where the driver is over the UK limit.
