  1. Thanks. I'll give that a try. Just did that and it just took me to the account I tried to change the number for.
  2. The thing is that I cannot close an account and create a new one either.
  3. I know that some Thais are racist, Anutin seems to be a perfect example. But the vast majority are just getting on with their lives and probably give it no thought. Personally, I have only had one racially charged interaction. That is one in forty years here. Perhaps Bob needs to do a bit of introspection. Why do certain Westerners seem to be the center of racist issues? Perhaps it's not even racist. People tend to dislike self entitled aholes and treat them accordingly. NB.Not saying that this is the case in this instance though.
  4. My problem with Lazada is that I created the account and set it with my own mobile number. Later, I changed it to my wife's number without any issue, but it absolutely refuses to allow me to change back to my number, resulting in all kinds of <deleted> trying to cash out a refund that was sent to my wallet which uses my number, not my wife's. Moved over to Shopee and only very rarely use Lazada now, like only once a year. Never had an issue with Shopee and paying with QR is much more convenient than Lazadas transfer system.
  5. They should not be calling for anything. At least not when on duty.
  6. The links in that site are screwed up and the information is mixed up between pages. Click on Cialis and then read the content. It refers to Viagra. If they can't even set up a decent website, I would not really trust them. Having said that, generic tadalafil is indeed available from India and there are quite a few recognized manufacturers. Just be more careful about the websites you order through.
  7. And your comment wasn't? At least you confirmed my comment about your reading comprehension skills.
  8. I think you need to take a course in reading comprehension and perhaps throw in an extra course in logical thinking.
  9. You seem to be lacking in logic. I have problems with all extremists. But please tell me what he has done that is extreme in this case. Pushing and shoving to the Cenotaph? I think you need to see other incidences of violence under the guise of support for Palestine. In any case, the EDL was disbanded years ago. If he is/was involved in pedophilia, he should be arrested and charged for it. As to imagery, have you heard of dark humor? There will always be someone who finds something offensive. Should that be used as an excuse to stop others finding it funny? There should really be no fixed boundaries as pointed out by Ricky Gervais. Should comedians and satirists self-sensor so you don't get upset?
  10. So people born and raised in the UK are all fine, wonderful, law abiding citizens, with British values? You would be okay with some of those gorgeous British people trying to force their religious beliefs on you and your family and telling you what you are not allowed to say or do? I thought the UK was supposed to be a secular country and yet here we are unable to extract the Michael out of a religion whose edicts are contrary to everything the country supposedly stands for. Why can we joke about every religion bar one? I can call Jesus, Bhudda, Vishnu whatever I want with no fear of repercussion, and yet if I call Muhammad anything negative such as a c*%t (even though I do not believe he ever existed), the hounds will be baying at my door (figuratively) and death threats pouring on. The extreme adherents of the Koran and the hadiths they follow push a narrative which is the antithesis of what the vast majority of Brits desire or are willing to accept. I know that the majority of muslims in the UK are moderate and do not support the extremists, but they are silent (with a few exceptions). Yet they are the very people who are best equiped to take a stand against extremism within their own faith. So who is left to raise this issue and bring it to the fore? And it certainly does need addressing.
  11. Seems that some posters are lacking in reading comprehension skills, and I don't mean you.
  12. Viagra and Sidegra are the same drug, i.e. sildenafil. Sidegra is the one manufactured by the Thai GPO.
  13. You can buy Grakcu at 7/11 stores in Thailand. It is claimed it is a herbal all "natural male support supplement" and is widely available, however, the US FDA has issued a warning that it contains undeclared drugs, including sildenafil. Other similar products include one called Munz. About 70 Baht a capsule. I do not know why generic tadalafil, aka Cialis, is not available here as the patent expired long ago. Sildenafil, aka Viagra is actually produced by the Thai Government Pharmaceutical Organization and sold under the name Sidegra (supposed to be prescription only).
  14. And in some cases incontinence. I went the Rezum steam route at Bamrungrad Hospital. Below are a few of the previous related topics which might be worth reading.
  15. Came here when I was 19 and will be 61 next month. Way back then it wasn't easy to keep in touch with people so no real bridges from the beginning. In the time I have been here, I have only been back to Blighty a handful of times and of those, only two trips were for holidays. Only still in touch with me dad, sister and a close friend and even then I only call home about 3 times a year. Will go back next year for a week or two as my old man is knocking on a bit now (92 next month).
  16. The red rimmers have got someone to join their daisy chain.
  17. This government is planning to change Sor Por Kor land (many land plots used for agriculture) to land with title deeds. That may actually push up the price of the land.
  18. I've noticed that too. Not getting notifications for all new posts posted on threads I follow.
  19. Not many can afford to retire in their 40s. Good for you.
  20. Where I am there are no bars, so at least it has that saving grace. However, there is no real western community either, so if you don't speak Thai here, it could get very lonely. This seems to be quite common among retirees in the North East, who do most of their drinking at home. I don't think they realized what they were getting into. Sad really.
  21. True. There is online work available though which might work for some. I'm lucky in that I haven't needed a WP for the past 6 or 7 years. I officially retired from my employer on 31 December 2022, but they kept me on a 12 month contract working from home 3 days a week. They may even keep me on for another year. It all helps sliding me into retirement as I work out what I want to do to keep myself occupied.
  22. For someone who has been working their whole life, retirement can be difficult regardless of where you live. My dad retired at 60 many years ago and within 1 year he was suffering terribly from boredom (there is only so much gardening and fishing you can do) so he ended up getting a part-time job just to give him something to do. For someone to hit retirement, up their sticks and move to Thailand, after a few months when the novelty wears off, they may start getting bored here too.
  23. Reading comprehension is clearly not your forte. 🤪
