This attitude doesn't only exist at HBSC. Sadly, unless you are super rich and you want to borrow big money, the banks couldn't care less about you nowadays.

Learn how to spell.

Over the years I've experienced several falling asleep at a red light. 

Always been smooth as far as I am concerned, since 1982.

She didn't like something about you. Could have been the way you looked, or the way you spoke, or something else.

The stop Bernie Sanders brigade at it again. Come on Dems, wake up. You are handing the November election to Trump on a plate.

Watch out for treacherous <deleted> undermining transition negotiations, just as they have been doing with the withdrawal agreement for the last 3 years. They have no shame, and will stop at nothing I fear.

Utterly pathetic.

I can't understand why people support such organizations. Obviously they care more about such dangerous animals than about people. 

 

"Mr Sakdapol suggested that provincial budgets would be better spent on a long-term sterilisation and vaccination programme, which is proven to be the most effective way to humanely and sustainably reduce stray dog populations." 

 

Not 1 of these measures would prevent new human victims. How many more innocent victims does it need that such a naive thinking stops?! 

 

 

I certainly care as much about animals as I do people. Humans will have a lot to answer for should there ever be a judgement day.

That's good. We'll all be OK now.

No, you are whinging.

Never had any kind of problem at CW or, previously, SSP based on retirement extensions to an O category visa backed by 800k in the bank. Married to a Thai since May 1990, but never used the marriage route.

Providing you have the correct docs, that's as it should be each and every time. Wish I had the spare cash laying around to go back to the retirement route instead of the infernal marriage extension.

I have been able to resist using the marriage route, thankfully.

I don't like to go shopping like before. I always have now the feeling that I get punished when I have to bag everything myself. Therefore now I buy only what I really need and what fits into 1 bag. And I never buy anything if I don't have a bag with me. I save a lot of money. 

 

Poor you, feeling you're being punished. Snowflakes everywhere, even in sub-tropical Thailand.

That was my mistake yesterday not asking for a supervisor as i was very mad. Yes i know that the Thai id has a microchip, and when they put my wife's in their machine it read it. Yes i know the passport is legal id for a foreigner, but they refused to take it yesterday. And as stated maybe they did not know how to enter the numbers.  But why has this come about it is very strange, and to me it is of no use producing id.  Maybe i am not thinking, but i just cant understand this. Who in all their wisdom decided to do this? 

Calm down. Hardly a major issue.

Then why did she run?  And why are the Brits asking for her extradition if she can't be prosecuted?  

Bit slow on the uptake Marshall.

Other times, however, it's best to sue the grossly irresponsible party who caused the death of your loved one into poverty and cherish the court's award of damages.

 

The appropriate response to smarm is snark.

Puerile comment.

Diplomatic immunity is hard to define. Whatever the outcome is the young man, very sadly, will remain dead. Sometimes it's best to let go, and cherish the memory.

Somebody's been a bit too greedy.

Usually BMW for me, but it would depend on the model.
