    My wife's own words, "They get cash in their hands, and they cannot อดทน" (perserve, resist the temptation).

    I have some very hard working and prudent in-laws.

    On the other hand I have some that this sums up, a S-i-l who started a shop but spent the the money that she got from sales rather than just the profit. This inevitably led to her ending up with nothing to sell. Her daughter and the daughter’s ‘tom’ then took on the shop and did exactly the same thing.

    A B-i-L is a farmer, whenever he sells a crop they go on a spending spree followed by not having money for things like seed, fertilizer or diesel for the tractors.

    Anyone under 30 should be limited to riding push bikes like everyone did 50 years ago. Any lunatic can twist a throttle to achieve orbital speeds. It takes real skill and experience to control oneself and the machine. Remaining upright and following the correct line, if learnt from trial and error, can have fatal consequences 

    About 40 years ago I was 20 and riding around on a Suzuki GT750 like a lunatic, wherever did you get the idea everyone was on a bicycle?

    I guess I was lucky I wasn’t born that ten years earlier!

    never had a bad experience with any bolt driver in past 3 months

    Neither have I.

     

    Perhaps because I live in Suphanburi, drive or ride wherever I go and have never used them.

    Sorry..my bad 

    I believe foreign embassies should alter their warnings list..

    #1 Don't ride on a motorbike on Thai roads (driver or pillion) under any circumstances 

    These young dumdums have no clue on the amount of tomfoolery that happens on Thai roads

     

     

    From the arrival it’s clear that she’s a 28 year old professional, not sure how you twist that into ‘These  young dumdums....’

    Thanks for the reply. I have considered selling everything and buying new in Thailand, just need to work out the best option.

    We brought all of our stuff over from England, no tax because I’m married to a Thai.

    That was about eight years ago and we’ve not had a single problem from anything resulting from moving it here so I don’t agree that you’d necessarily have any issues.

     The only thing I’ve done is changed plugs on everything, started with adapters but gradually changed them as we settled in.

    I thought that was a seperate issue. You probably no more than me, am just an idle observer reading the news and seems a cock up from what i read but sure more nuanced than i know.

    I’ve followed it quite closely and although it’s a minor inconvenience to me (I now have to go downstairs to watchTrue rather than watch PSI in bed!), it’s clear that encryption is the one and only reason that it’s been removed from those platforms that are either unable or unwilling to encrypt to the standard required in the contract with FIFA.

     

    i hope everyone gets to enjoy it one way or another.

    So let me get this straight:

     

    The NBTC a government body lent 600 million to another Government body the SAT to help get the WC rights for all to see

    The SAT another government body accepted and also negotiated with corporate sponsors seemingly giving them exclusive rights to 32 matches completely contrary to the all to see regulation

    The NBTC were completely silent about this and never even raised it as an issue

    When the 1st match started it was clear that it was not free for all and TRUE had been given rights

    The public complained and the NBTC quickly trying to save face decided they had to do something

    Now they have demanded the money back and looks like hte two government tax payer funded entities will start wasting more taxpayers money in court

    So TRUE have effectively had the NBTC subsidize their bid for the best 32 matches- the public cannot see some of them, the money has gone, and the SAT dont have anything to pay back. They are all a complete bunch of incompetent morons who should be sacked and asked to pay the money back themselves.

     

    And lets not forget the President of the SAT is one Prawit Wongsuwan.

    Not really, it’s all about encryption and the ability of some broadcasters to prevent their signals from being accessible in other countries.
