Don't they just "transfer them to an inactive temple"........????

I have a 100,000 baht secured CC from BKK bank. As I don't travel anymore I decided to close the account or at least reduce the amount secured. I went in to our local BKK bank , 25 klms away last Thirsday 3rd. I asked if I could reduce the secured bit to 20,000 baht , no problem . Copy Bank Book , Passport main and visa page , signed 7 individual forms / photo copies . It will take 10 working days. Yesterday Monday 7th. Wife gets a phone call , " cannot reduce secured amount to 20.000 baht". Okay will close the account , " you will have to come in to the branch to sign some forms ". Another 50 klm round trip. Arrive at the bank and one of the tellers was asked to deal with it. Copy Passport and Visa page ,copy Bank Book , she telephoned BKK bank in I presume Bangkok and a English speaking lady , wanted to know my name , date of birth and the last time I used the card. Sit down for 30 mins and meet the original lady from last week. Copies Passport and Visa page and Bank Book . Sign another 5 pages docs and copies. When will this be cleared I ask , " 10 working days " okay . when it clears can I transfer the 100,000 baht into my other account . "No , you have to come in and collect the money and then you can put it into your other account yourself". So 3 x 50 klm round trip just to close an account. What happened to computerization ?

ETH must have given some of them a rocket at half time. What a great second half , impressive.

Not impressed with the first half against Lens. I know it is pre season , but sloppy mistakes at the back and the inability to put the ball in the net still needs sorting.

Had to laugh at that huge sign " TAT Dept. store " Tat in the UK. Dictionary meaning: Tat , "anything that looks cheap, is of low quality , or in bad condition".

Is that the bustling intersection shown in the photo ?

I bet the people he is " trying to weed out " has more money than I and a lot of retired expats here , who are not criminals or a member of a motorcycle gang.

This is how some of them operate any vehicle they are in " control " of. Roads and Water. Safety is not an issue. If you go fast it is more fun

or maybe people are just getting fed up with being hassled as soon as they step foot onto a public beach ?

I can't change my password as my account has been suspended until they can sort out the age verification.

They didn't , it was in their support system that this came about.

I have been using the same account for 15 years or so. Nothing has changed and the d.o.b. makes me over 50.

No nor me. This is a message coming from Google support saying that I am not old enought to manage my account and they need some proof of age before they allow me to proceed. Not bad , I have had this e mail address for possibly 15 years , and I am way over the required age for managing my own account.

I have been using my gmail account for a number of years , and I tried to send a mail today and received this.......... Mail Delivery Subsystem <mailer-daemon[at]googlemail.com> 11:24 (12 minutes ago) to me You no longer have access to ****[at]gmail.com. To send this email, choose a different ‘from’ address and try again. Learn more at https://support.google.com/mail/answer/22370?hl=en-GB I clicked on the support link shown and it took me to a " google support page " that wanted my date of birth and verify with Credit Card (which dows not show a D.O.B.or a copy of my passport. Sounds highly suspicious. Any body else had this recently ?

Away strip looks rubbish, whose idea was that ?

I hope the keeper turns out to be a good buy. as for Mount I am not a fan of his , IMHO he is not that good . Jao Felix would have been a better buy. Kobbe Mainoo looks to have stepped up . The youngsters are performing well against a physical Wrexham side and Mejbri looks like he has stepped up. Needs to fill out a little though. Joe Hugill has impressed with limited service , so he will be hard to judge unless given a first team run out. I see Savage ( Reading ) and Elanga ( Forest ) have both left. Chong , Iqbal , and Laird have gone , probably want to play first team football elsewhere. Can't blame them. There were a lot of promising youngsters , but alas , they do not make it with us , but it doesn't make them bad players. Still need a goalscorer though.

Exactly.

I have only found Optrex eye wash in the bottles , never found Optrex's eye lotion in the small container.

Yes , I had my one and only visit from them a couple of months ago after being on a retirement ext. for the last 15 years or so. Photos , a form to sign , and a good humoured moan that they have had to travel so far from the office .

Got the vehicle in to Fords at 08:30 hrs. Took the wife's phone number and called us at 15:30hrs. Old Alternator swapped out with new. Paid the bill. Went to Lotus about a klm away , heard the dame chirping noise . Returned to Ford , it is now 16:00hrs , a team of mechanics are listening to the engine , according to the wife , one of them said " I told you it wasn't the alternator ". Where he got a scornful look and toddled away. From 16:00hrs till 17:15hrs they had taken the new alternator off , put my old alternator back on , replaced the tensioners and put a new belt on . Drove home in it and been out in it today , no problems.....fingers x touch wood etc.

Anybody have any books missing from their Kindle Library. Over a week ago I looked at my Library and 50 of my books were missing. I contacted Customer support and for this last week have been messaging backwards and forwards. They wanted all the title of the books missing and their ASIN numbers and the titles of the books and ASIN numbers I still have in my library. One of the excuses was ," book isn't available on Kindle anymore " . I told them that the book still should be available for me to read in the Kindle cloud or whatever they have. Today I was told " they have not been deleted or moved by us , it must have been done by you , we will not be assisting you any further in this matter ". Well at the start of all the messaging and emails , I was a very valued customer , but apparently not valued enough ! Alternatives to Kindle please.

It is a big deal to me , everybodys cicumstances are different .

But in reality ? Who knows , never see the outcome of these cases , do they get to court ?

I'm no mechanic , but Ford have told us it will be a 8:30 in the morning job and pick it up at 5 o'clock. They said they have put one mechanic aside just to work on replacing alternator. 8hrs , wow , I didn't realise it was such a difficult job.
