    You are an idiot if you think you can cut that stuff with plastic. The OP still does not have the right blade to cut that stuff, he needs one similar to a circular saw and even then it is difficult. That advice from years of experience As to getting rid of that type, it is like cane, not grass when it grows, all of the roots need to be dug out and there will still be some left that sprout again.

    If yo pay 200K you have too much money. There are many that range from 30k to 60K. Just make sure you ask plenty of questions on how many the surgeon does. If he is not doing them weekly find some one else. I have had one go wrong by an inexperienced doctor but the second one was no problem by a doctor that was doing them nearly every day.

    You are right with this. The wife is normally happy to display the farang husband but I have been advised to step lightly for the time being.

    Yes, used one of those for a couple of years as 3BB would only connect fibre if there were 5 subscribers. Not the best speeds but will be okay for the short time you are there.

    Didn't your attention span get you to the last line, or do I need to explain what it meant to you.
  6. GreasyFingers
    That might explain the differences in Lay's over the last year. Originally 50 gm packet for 20 baht then 42 gm for 20 baht then 42 gm for 22 baht now 48 gm for 20 baht Must have realised a 16% reduction in volume plus a 10% price increase was making too much profit.

    There are care homes on Samui too. Had friends in one, fairly basic but they were happy, not too expensive but the private hospitals are if you need them.

    They need to get a visa to Australia, just advertised $30,000 per year to start.

    Sorry but your guess is wrong.

    So you think it is acceptable to have to shut it down quickly. crazy way to do things.

    When I go back to Oz for a holiday I use my Thai license instead of my NSW license to hire a car. Never a problem.
  12. GreasyFingers
    Actually if you go back to the 1920's there was a similar report in one of the top US newspapers, NY Times I think. Sorry but not interested enough to look it up for you.

    I have only had the problem with Kerry, probably 50% of the time. Flash are never a problem, but that might be because we live just outside the village of the courier.

    When we bought the house my dear wife did that for all four tanks, bless her heart.

    They might be on Hmong land leased to the resorts, easy money.

    Well I was in the system paying taxes for 45 years but still denied the OZ old age pension as I thought Thailand was a better place to live.

    Like those on here ad nauseam.

    Picked up your bat and gone home.

    You have no idea. If a legal bookie accepts a wager of 100 to 1 he will pay you 101 as you say. The illegal bookies running the illegal lottery only pay 50 to1 (Samui) or 60 to1 uphere for what is a 100 to 1 chance on the 2 numbers. Go and ask them.
  20. GreasyFingers
    Not for the government lottery and the sanctioned horse racing tracks.
  21. GreasyFingers
    Mate. your wife is having a lend of you. No bookie pays 10000 for a 100 investment where the odds are 100 to 1, they have to have a margin. She is probably telling you she puts 100 on when it is really 200 to get the 10000.
  22. GreasyFingers
    You have changed your tune. You said the illegal lottery paid 10000 for a 80 baht investment (the government lottery price that gives you many chances, not just the 2 numbers), i.e. 125 to1 for a 100 to1 chance. You obviously have your numbers wrong, that is why the bookies pay only 50-60 to 1 for a 100 to 1 chance. They have to make money but no serious punter would take that return.
  23. GreasyFingers
    You should be buying them at those odds every lottery. Excuse the directness but I do not believe that they pay at 99-1. never seen it anywhere. Is you wife a collector for the illegal lottery.
  24. GreasyFingers
    I have not looked at this for quite a while but the illegal lottery only paid 50-60% of the actual odds of winning. Are you saying the Gov ones only pay 5-10% of the odds.
  25. GreasyFingers
    They must be looking at a different synoptic chart to that shown on their website.
