Not really, if you have suspicion of contact you would be straight in for it again. You are right that cats are also carriers. Prior to the pandemic we used to have the government people come round and vaccinate all the cats and dogs against rabies. Unfortunately it stopped and never restarted.

Indeed. I think it was the 1975 reforms that introduced NI credits for those not working. The first move towards the pension becoming a welfare benefit.

The old pension came to an end in April 2016. The new pension may be adjusted to reflect pre 2016 contributions.

When you said you needed 45 years I thought you were talking about the pre 2010 requirements. What you you really meant that in your case the post 2016 requirement of 35 years was insufficient and had to be topped up. Glad to hear it was resolved successfully.

For some reason the majority on here seem to think that every proposal is going to come into effect tomorrow. Henry Heinz chose a random number for his "varieties" and ended up with one of the most successful brands in the world.

No one ever does anything without taking the first step.

That is an indication that the file source(hard drive) is too slow. If it has worked ok on the same port in the past may be fragmentation but could be something else, shop is probably best option.

Bit of a wasted exercise if the hard drive is the problem.

Yes, the 2007 reforms dropped the number of years from 44 to 30 from 2010. A friend of mine had taken early retirement and paid up to the 44 with voluntary contributions. He wrote and asked for that to be returned, you can guess the reply.

Indeed, it can be very frustrating. I don't do the phone, most unreliable form of communication created by man. A few years back I had an issue and sent them a letter and received the standard response that they would look into it and that the current waiting time was 6 weeks. As soon as the 6 weeks were up I wrote again raising a formal complaint and to contact me by email. The matter was quickly resolved by email and a couple of times after just used the same email with very quick resolutions. I got £25 for them not dealing with the intial enquiry within the 6 weeks.

You need to do your homework, the contract was never complete as the CP subsidiary didn't get the agreement it wanted from the BOI. The poject will never start without a revision of some sort. The EEC is trying to get the SRT to agree to issue the Notice to Proceed without the BOI support. Nothing in stone yet.

"Financial constraints caused by the pandemic, the global economy, and high interest rates have necessitated a condition for the government to expedite a 119-billion-baht payment before the 18th instalment following the issuance of a Notice to Proceed, rather than after construction is completed." The UK abandoned part of their HSR project. I would think that everyone has had to revise their plans in some way over the last 5 years. Which planet have you been on?

It is built in. Go to windows explorer and click on the drive, Right click and select "Properties", from the options at top click on "tools", lower option should be "organise and defragment".

I am assuming you are trying to open the movie from VLC. If you go to windows explorer and then click on the external hard drive, find the movie folder, the movie you want and click to open it. The response time of windows explorer will indicate if there is a problem with the drive. If all ok there is every chance that it will try and open with Windows Media Player, unless you have changed the default. If it opens and plays ok then the problem may well be down to VLC, if it doesn't play then would appear to be the drive.

You are probably right, particularly if the hard drive is quite big and connected to a USB2 port. I have several external hard drives of various sizes and the 500GB can bring the computer to a standstill for several minutes. You should check the laptop spec, it may have both both USB 2 & 3 available. Wouldn't do any harm to defrag the hard drive.

You mean like the "We Travel Together" initiative. That money was only available to those that would put their hand in there pocket and go somewhere.

Shows how the population have become more aware, the 50/50 started with 10 million in the first phase, rising to 28 million by the 3rd.

They succeeded where others have failed. One year after the boat people crisis on the Indian Ocean, the number of Rohingya Muslims and other people fleeing Myanmar and Bangladesh by sea fell by 96 percent, in large part because of Thailand’s crackdown on human trafficking syndicates, a United Nations official said last week. https://www.thaianti-humantraffickingaction.org/Home/2016/03/28/boat-people-fall-by-96-percent-on-thai-trafficking-crackdown/

You had to register in previous schemes. When a new phase was started registration was reopened. With the 50/50, by the 3rd phase there was something like 28 million participants and if I remember right for the last two phases additional registrations were restricted to vendors. Also the amount granted to each participant was significantly reduced to spread it around more. The amount granted over the life of the scheme was 13,000 baht per person.

We have about 60 cats and about a dozen dogs, it was the dogs that sounded the alarm on this python a month ago. My wife and her sister bagged it up then set it free on some waste ground. Python 060724.mp4

I wouldn't put much store in an artists impression. When get the BTS from Kheha into Bangkok I get the lift from the carpark up to the ticket area. There is another lift up to the platforms but I just use the elevator.

In previous schemes when there was still money in the kitty, the schemes were extended. I think the WTT scheme had 4 phases and the 50/50 scheme had 5 phases.

Absolute rubbish. Which planet were you on when the 50/50 scheme was running.

The poster I responded to had indicated the interest rate meeting, but I had already seen movement before then going back to the 17th. Her speech came to mind and I did say "probably", no dispute that other financial events on the same day may have had more of an impact. I got my pension on the 19th and had intended a transfer, missed the boat.

Another Devils Advocate could ask how a UK State Pension paid on the basis of NI credits could be seen as a pension from employment. How would that reconcile with Art 41 of the revenue code? Bit strange that people always want to refer to the UK state pension in the singular, when it is anything but.
