  1. Goodbye, RIP and thank you for serving your country.
  2. Obviously not as much as AN readers feel they need to know.
  3. Cheers Guys, That's cleared that up. I know the way of applying for the EU Schengen area, we have done it before when we visited The Netherlands and Spain.
  4. I am with you on that. I have been with my current insurer, Pacific Cross, quite a while now and get maximum no claims discount. My cover gives 10,000 baht a day room and board. I am covered for 10,000,000 baht for total treatment of a condition and 400,000 baht for personal accident. I am 62, have a deductible of 40,000 baht, because small OPD ailments I will pay as I go. Likewise, I have had cancer of the larynx, but survived after major surgery many years ago, (18 years) this is not covered. Not only that, but I was told by my surgeon that no way was that specific cancer coming back. It hasn't, courtesy of Bumrungrad. My annual fee last year was 47,000 baht. My health insurance is in case of worst case scenarios, and I didn't want lumbering with a 4 or 5 million baht medical bills. I don't smoke, drink little, am slightly overweight, but I am exercising. Likewise, I also have the good grade annual check-ups. That's actually a lot more than I would be doing to look after myself in the UK.
  5. My other half is already in possession of a 10-year UK visitor visa. On her next trip, I was planning on going to Ireland and Europe. I know we can basically just walk into Ireland from Northern Ireland, but can we obtain a visa through the Irish Embassy that allows free travel through Europe? That would be the simplest method, if it's allowed. All other routes to Schengen, we have been in the past, have involved buying tickets and accommodation upfront before applying for the visa. I was thinking, with the Irish visa, we could cut the need for air tickets etc and make life easy. Our last Schengen visa was a long time ago and for sure, rules change. So, I would appreciate any updated advice in case I have missed anything. The idea would be to visit the Irish Republic and Spain, for a couple of weeks in total.
  6. Not according to Reuters and it's been fact-checked, which you can find under the ' VERDICT ' section at the bottom. And some of the conflicts involving Obama were forced on him by ISIS and involved the NATO alliance not just the USA In fact, most of the recent US wars have been courtesy of the two Bush Presidents. So, you are in error about what you state. Trump actively pursued targets in Syria by the way. https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSKBN2A22QR/
  7. I've been three times in about 30 years, I don't think I need to go again really. I found it expensive and not much fun. Not only that, but I could have everything Phuket offers and more in places elsewhere in Thailand without the price gouging, taxi mafias, hassles on jet skis and overall vibe of Give us your money and <deleted> off. Maybe, it just isn't for me, but my other half doesn't like it either, and when we holiday, we go together. I don't mind Samui, I like Koh Chang, I like Rayong, or parts of. My other half likes Vietnam, Scotland and Whitby as well as York in the UK........ Me too!
  8. And let the wider world know how they behave and what they prioritise. Instead of policemen running around like headless chickens to shut down bloggers on YouTube, based in Thailand, and threatening them with blacklist and deportation, for expressing their views.
  9. You take offence at an avatar supporting one of the best and most accomplished football teams the world has ever seen? You are definitely not firing on all cylinders.
  10. The woke governments and lefties do, the public at large definitely do not.
  11. RIP Zoe, Gone too young for the stupid actions of a speeding driver. The Police obviously not interested. No cameras and declining to take footage from local store owners, no check on drink-driving, nothing......... It stinks. Will we have the outrage at the death of an innocent woman or the involvement of the interior minister asking questions about policing in Phuket? We had it for weeks when a woman was kicked in the back by a foreigner, heads rolled all over the place. A trivial incident that made international news and drew the nation's ire, carefully choreographed by the media to whip up anti foreigner hysteria. Or is this another road death not newsworthy enough, as it involves terrible driving on the part of Thais as usual.
  12. Stormy Daniels should never have been put on the stand, they didn't need to discredit Trump, everybody knows what he is. However, this was purely to rubbish him and was not in any way useful or of benefit to the court case and proceedings, which were about payments, how they were made, who made them, what were they for, and where did they come from, how were they repaid, what were they labelled as, etc. She knows nothing of the internal accounting mechanisms used regarding the money, so she served no useful purpose, except to spew hatred. The prosecution has weakened its case, left massive grounds for appeal, and gone about proving a straightforward accounting exercise in totally the wrong way, bringing in red herrings and matters that, actually are, irrelevant.
  13. Listen hear matey, Nothing liberal about me, staunch conservative in the UK, and ex military as in Royal Navy, something your glorious leader chose to avoid. The disgusting man even sought to belittle the efforts of Senator John Mc Cain, who was a war hero for the US. I have read up on him, because I actually went to the prison in Hanoi, nicknames the Hanoi Hilton, where is old flying suit is on display. I share some Republican beliefs, but not all. Furthermore, I believe in hard work, I don't like sponging off the State, I am definitely for controlled immigration, I don't believe in stifling growth by levying huge taxes on entrepreneurs to pay for those that won't work etc Barack Obama was far more presidential than Trump on the world stage. People cringe at what Trump is going to say before he opens his clumsy mouth. I am simply stating facts, another thing in short supply with all the MAGA nutjobs. You see, you are definitely one of the above, you don't come out with a counterargument regards Trump because there isn't one, so your only defence is deflection and accusing me of being in a group that I am not in, and would never be in. Your response to my post is a typical Trump response, avoid the facts and confuse the thread by using abuse. In this way, you hope to deflect from the honest and true points I made about Trump. The atrocious scenes at the Capitol went global, where anarchists attempted to overturn the will of the American people and the ballot box, encouraged by Trumps discredited conspiracy theories about vote rigging. He's a dangerous, out of control narcissist, and not fit to lead the nation of the USA. The USA deserves better.
  14. We managed to get through, and the IO says he was the one that collected the mail, and he remembers it, and will now send out the receipt in the attached SAE now that we have contacted him. Confused? So am I. But he has verbally confirmed receipt and I have the track and trace receipt from Thailand Post.
  15. It asked me to pout a 10 baht stamp on the SAE, it's only a slip of paper. I am in the outer reaches of Kalasin and the main office is in the city of Kalasin.
  16. Listen hear matey, Nothing liberal about me, staunch conservative in the UK. I am simply stating facts, another thing in short supply with all the MAGA nutjobs.

  17. Kalasin Thailand. Fairly obvious, I am in Thailand asking about mail in 90 day reporting.
  18. He was already masturbating when she came up the escalator. He pulled her to the floor and was high as a kite on drugs.
  19. You can see it fairly plain, the actions I mean, at the beginning of the clip.
  20. As is often the case because of the ' not my business ' attitude! Or maybe a placid young man that thought better to stay away from a drug crazed lunatic for someone he doesn't know.
  21. Agree, But I went this route after the online route failed three times.
  22. He's in court and charged with 34 criminal offences, and there are other separate court cases pending. The first time a former American president has been tried on criminal charges. He has a foul mouth, he is not articulate, he lies, and it's been proven constantly, he's a misogynist, he's a draft dodger, he doesn't know how to communicate on the world stage, he's brash and he's tacky. He encouraged the storming of the Capitol with his baseless claims of vote rigging, He has zero credibility. Yet, many of you defend and defend him, pointing and using ifs, buts and maybes' Does the USA want such a cretin on the world stage allegedly speaking for a superpower and with him as CIC? And you guys are on AN talking about the plusses and minuses of an adult porn film star and her testimony. Is it 350 million people you have, and this is what you want to bring to the table as your designated leader to speak on behalf of the American people?
