A grey area. Best not to ask.

I'm not a fan of his music, but in the current climate his performance was brave and culturally important. 👏

From the various threads running on this topic, the consensus seems to be don't make waves and whatever you do, don't visit your local tax office!

No thanks. Although at least Elon realises how unfit for leadership Nigel Farage is!

Good job Barry Humphries has died.

And don't forget to buy DanaboutThailand's burgers too!

"One can only hope..." that no one reads this rubbish in the Daily Torygraph!

That's where good TEFL training comes in. Properly trained TEFL teachers should be able to teach multi-language classes. No knowledge of the learners' L1 is necessary.

I just completed this quiz. My Score 60/100 My Time 96 seconds  

Yes, you're right. After Boris' landslide in 2019 not many predicted a Labour resurgence 5 years later, but they pulled it off.

What were the Korean teachers teaching? Korean to Thais, presumably?

"Muslims have already achieved critical mass"? As they constitute less than 7% of the UK population, you might want to use more reliable "facts" rather than Elon Musk and the American Right. And it's Labour not Labor.

No. If the dispenser in the Women's toilet is empty, a woman can get a male to purchase one for her.

Yes, the UK and Australia are multi-cultural countries and their State broadcasters rightly reflect this. They are not the USA!

True. I don't doubt the possibility of a revival by the Tories, but it would have to be at the expense of Reform. And I think they will need a new leader.

Are you old enough to remember the early 1980s when the SDP was formed? The Thatcher government was as unpopular as the current government and polls suggested the SDP would hold the balance of power or even win power, in alliance with other parties. Of course it was too early to make such a prediction! Maybe Starmer needs a Falklands war to come to his rescue.

Too early to tell, although grim at the moment. I very much doubt the polls will be like this in 2028/2029.

Why would ABC or the BBC want to do anything that the current, short-term, occupant of the White House does?

Couldn't have happened to a "nicer" party! RIP the Tories.

Strange that suddenly they need it. Here is the link for getting any UK issued document legalised. It has to be done by the Legalisation Office in Milton Keynes. If you ask them, they will then forward it on to the Thai Embassy in London for their stamp. Can be done through an agent if you're in Thailand, or by a family member/friend in the UK. Ours took around 3 weeks to get done. https://www.gov.uk/get-document-legalised/apply-for-legalisation

Mine was accepted back in November, but in Bangkok, as it has been for the previous 9 years. Was your certificate legalised in the UK and certified by the Thai Embassy in London? We had to do this before we could use it, but that was 9 years ago!

That's interesting. I thought that the passport holder had to be present. Was this in Phuket? Can you let me have the agent's details (PM if necessary). Thanks

Correct. In fact, the advice is not to do so.

I haven't tried Rayong yet, as need to take my son out of school for a morning (2 days if we need to go to CW!). I will be using Section N2 at CW, which I fear will be more congested than L!

Very true!
