Of course the police were working hard on this case, nice pay day. Or have I got it wrong, they will be doing their best to repay it all the the people who got scammed. I can feel a mysterious fire coming on.

How do most of you transport your frozen food? I use a polystyrene box and try and get a couple of bags of crushed ice from makro. If it's not available I don't buy. Ice cubes don't do the job sufficiently for me.

Just wondering, I'm not going to convert my car into a freezer truck so you can forget that suggestion.

With the heat/weather as it's been an alternative would be good. Not home deliveries as well.

I usually shop at makro, BigC and Tops, that takes about 4 hours, with a meal break.

Oscar2 thanks.

gamini, Oscar2, hope you never have any medical issues, It was a simple question requiring a simple answer.

If you were to have a medical emergency and were on your own, what would you do. I suffered two strokes and can assure you the last thing your going to be able to do is prance about looking at Google or your phone for numbers that may or may not work.

So what is your contingency plan should this arise in the early hours of the morning let alone day time?

I don't know if this is a worthy reply, I slipped, passed out and smashed by hip, it took me 10 plus minutes to crawl back to my mobile. I live alone and this is a real concern to some people. The outcome for me was I was able to get my sister in law to call an ambulance as I didn't know the emergency phone number. What is the number for emergencies regardless of where you are?

I'll brush this post off, sorry, I get mine sent from the UK as and when required.

In future mind your own business and use the correct routes/ authorities to uncover fraud and corruption, then vote with your feet and move.

What rain - please send it here.

Yes indeed - still only have to wait until as they say, sometime in July for the upgrade. Thanks so much TrueVisions.

Although I don't use a wheelchair I have similar problems, I always use the same guy/taxi to take me across. He is very helpful and at times ott, he will wait, help and take you to your destination. Yes it's going to cost you, maybe 1,200, last time I applied for a visa he waited outside the embassy for two hours while my wife sorted out the paperwork. Engine left running, Aircon on I didn't even put in an appearance. All sorted went to hotel and he collected us the next day. He uses a Toyota pickup truck so plenty of room in the back for a wheelchair. Best of luck.

Pub, fair comment, perhaps the message got through to them. Although I have seen it this morning the frequency is not as bad.

The upgrade consists of interactive, EVOlution12, Translucent and maybe more I have missed - I don't need this shoved in my face 24 hours a day.

Enhancing my viewing is what they say, pissing me off is what I say.

If you know what any of that means please feel free to enlighten me, and no, I'm not going to visit the web site.

Thankyou for the information on your up coming upgrade in July, for Platinum and Gold subscribers.

When I watch my TV I really don't need to be reminded every two minutes of this monumental event,

Do I really have to put up with this until July, or do you want to lose another subscriber.

A note attached to my bill/statement would suffice.

I stayed in a hospital in Ubon R. They locked the fire escape doors every night, as a smoker I like a cig before bed and couldn't have one. I smoked on the outside stairway to the nurses annoyance during the day, at night no chance.

The safety implications of the doors being locked really annoyed me but complaining got me nowhere.

I don't use that hospital anymore.

I'm the same as everyone else, meter. My point being, rebate on standing order. I have had to have my TV repaired, my satellite box repaired and my oven blew it's thermostat. Has anyone complained, received a rebate or help in the cost of replacing these items.

Crossy, hybrid inverters, MEA/PEA - my knowledge of electricity is limited to changing a fuse and putting up new wall lights.

Sorry you lose me if technical, I'm a plug it in man, if it works great, if it doesn't it's a problem.

England also has this problem.

JJA, thanks for the reply. I have tried this and the response I get is nobody's told us to we didn't know. From my village to Mukdahan, large pipes are being put/sunk into the ground, you could crawl through them. We must be in for one biblical rainy season. My point, do they not have the intelligence to also lay a pipe and start putting electrical cables down at the same time.

Right said Fred .... so we had another cuppa tea then we went home.

Not had one today yet, although it's getting dark, the wind is quiet strong and I can hear rumblings in the distance.

Rebate for the standing order you automatically pay each month, for defrosted frozen food, damaged electrical equipment.

The worst cut I have had was for 14 hours. I get the point, you pay for what you use.

To all replies - ha ha.

I'm interested to know if any members have had any success in complaining and been able to receive any kind of rebate on their electric bill. I paid mine yesterday, low and behold we have a cut.

Cuts vary from 20min to three or 4 hours.

Agree with AlQaholic, my wife purchased one and ended up giving it away.

Daosavanh my choice, not cheap and not near the town. Has a pool and I find it comfortable and clean.

Eliotness, what's your budget, plenty of horrible cheap places and a few good ones.
