  1. It remains to be seen. Most complex tax returns involve a great deal of dialogue with the authorities before they are agreed.
  2. I get all EPL matches on True without fail.
  3. My advice ? Always build a brick wall topped with broken glass or some such. A cheap pair of pliers will make a large hole in that mesh in no time at all.
  4. Many of us could have told you that was going to happen. Thai immigration have their rules and procedures, as do all countries. Before embarking on any course of action involving the immigration authority here, best to do a bit of research first.
  5. I must assume this is meant as a joke, in which case 5 out of 10 for the attempt, otherwise take a serious reality check combined with a hefty degree of honest introspection.
  6. Eating less would likely be good for most of us Brits.
  7. It doesn't take much to upset the PM. He seems to be unable to cope with much other than routine, pre-planned events.
  8. I hadn't realized there was an immigration office at Laksi. Is it possible to get extensions of stay there, and to do 90 day reports ?
  9. Lucky for you. Poor, unfriendly, service generally, apart from a small number of branches. I have had accounts at SCB since Standard Chartered closed their retail business here, and my impression is they are none too keen on westerners.
  10. What are you doing to it ? I hope it's not what it appears to be.
  11. Not really. Jobs that can be done by Thais reserved for Thais seems reasonable to me.
  12. Sounds like a heart attack or a stroke. My father survived a massive heart attack in his early fifties. He played golf and tennis, and appeared very fit.
  13. The Pollution Control Department office is on Pahonyothin Rd. It has a sea water control division.
  14. Such a sad story. A young lady who suffered in silence until she could no longer endure the cruel bullying to which she was subjected. I hope those who taunted her will be called to account, and I pray that she is now resting in peace.
  15. No sympathy whatsoever. Anyone who enjoys cock-fighting is at one and the same time both moronic and sadistic.
  16. I recently had stamps transferred to a new UK passport at CW, supported by an embassy letter supplied by VFS. Nothing else required. If you need, or want, to use an agent I would suggest that the one you currently have should be able to deal with this without any hassle for you.
  17. I welcome this, but I'm far from sure many of the working girls/women will. Many of them enjoy the freedom of being outside the law and off the radar. Anyway, highly doubtful it will ever happen given local sensitivities on the issue.
  18. I'm not sure it's about physical driving skills which are generally good in Thailand. In my opinion it's more about lack of concentration, tiredness leading to sleep, drink and drugs.
  19. In addition to their ugliness, ineffectiveness without wind, and the high cost of materials to manufacture them, windmills also horribly kill and maim birds. In summary, they are a useless nightmare.
  20. If public health is one of his responsibilities his visit is entirely justified. By the way he's a multi-millionaire who certainly doesn't need to grub around for free trips.
  21. How depraved must somebody be to want to do this to a one year old ? This disgusting individual should be put inside for a long time. Meantime, where is the girl's mother ?
  22. Awful, despicable human beings. I hope the little one somehow gets the chance for a good life.
  23. You need to buy time. Maybe you could apply for a 30 day extension on line assuming you have copies of your passport. If nothing happens after 3 weeks I'm afraid you will have to go the police/embassy route. Sorry for your predicament. I've heard of agents who perform well for years and then suddenly disappear, usually as a result of money problems.
  24. This is where most Democrat Party governments in the US finish up.
