the other 2 got as far Langley HWDC (Heathrow) and vanished, tracking said they were leaving Langley...

There's lots of posts on forums of 'leaving Langley' being a problem.

I've had stuff marked as 'leaving Langley' then no further information until it turned up at my door.

This is a popular spot with tourists in Chiang Mai. I was up there at lunchtime today, and hardly any tourists at all, shops all empty.

I've never seen it this empty, usually full of cars and Songtaws trying to get in or out, and people milling around.

I was quite surprised.

And never ever pay such a large amount in cash in Thailand - Never !!

2Mbht house,

I paid 10k on signing the contract, and 10k/month while it was being built (5 payments)

The rest was paid at the land office (mostly by the bank), when they handed me the keys, and I moved in that day.

Never heard of her and just looked up her filmography- done nothing significant.

She still managed to make $18 million.

You'd think she would be grateful.

another "I can't believe how things have changed in 30 years" topic. 

Well, 30 years back I would never have believed I could hold music, movies, mapping and communications in my hand and walk around with it. Nor did anyone else.

"BoooYAH" so that it's incomprehensible.

I thought that was what you said when you snorted crystal meth.

Thanks, tried that - no good, they insist on a UK phone number - which I have but the SIM card is the size of a large postage stamp and won't fit any (modern) phone.

Pair of scissors will soon fix that, if you aren't confident enough to do it yourself, one of the girls selling phones will do it.

A1; Because their average IQ is 90, which means at least half the Thais you meet have IQs lower than that.

A2: Because Central Thai isn't their first language.

I did try to educate my wife, but that was a lost cause.

I sent mine to high-school and she graduated.

 .......... great actress, I certainly believed she was happy with him.

Hua Hin is boring.

I always enjoy it.

A walk along the beach in the morning, sit and read a book by the harbour, then a few beers on the Pier at lunch time, over to BintaBart for the happy hour at tea time, and later over to Soi 80 for a young lady.

All within walking distance.

Bread maker delivered and baked my first loaf. Turned out good. 
i can’t find how to programme the fruit and nut dispenser however.

Any ideas. 

I opens on it's own at the correct time in the bread cycle.

Sounds like someone hitting the metal with a hammer, bang, bang, bang.

Does Australia have any secrets worth stealing?

High school graduate 9k/month, University graduate 14k/month

Street food seller = less, Member of Parliament = more.

Is the average salary in a town relevant to anything?

I was one of the highest paid guys in my field working in London, I couldn't make the average wage.

Mainly because the stockbrokers, day traders, bankers and other fat cats made millions.

I think you'll find that's some sort of scam site, and you can't actually buy anything.

Why shouldnt a prosecutiin be forceful.

In which case.

Why shouldn't you be forceful in getting consent?

Most negotiations for anything are forceful, buying a house/car/insurance/corporate takeover/buyin foreign oil all involve a modicum of coercion. Why is it access to a 'woman' should have to follow a different set of rules? It's just business.

If coercion or force are wrong in any situation, surely they should be wrong in all situations.

Dont understand this at all, what can you say on a phone that you cant say in a live chat ? Or am I missing something ? Why is the phone so important ?

I don't understand what he wants either.

I do understand my 8,000bht glasses from a CM optician cost 1,600bht mail order from Zenni.

(The Zenni frames were a better quality as well)

Which is why I only use them now.
