  1. It would have been a lot more "tragic" if they had killed another driver/s.
  2. Yes, I suspect different brokers give different advice on different insurers for different policies for different people!
  3. If service is included, you don't need to leave a tip. If service is bad, refuse to pay the charge and see how you get on! VAT is just part of life!
  4. Nope. I backed Starmer and he won, and I'm still posting pro-Labour posts. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿☮️
  5. I've been trying to open a savings account for my 9-year-old son. He's British like me, and I was hoping as I've had an account with Bangkok Bank for 18 years, they'd let me open one for him. But our local branch said "No" - he has to be 18. Does anyone know a bank that might do this? Would I be better off trying in Pattaya or Bangkok?
  6. That's what I'm hoping. My broker has assured me I would be covered, but I'm hoping I never have to find out!
  7. Not as bad as Biden's, but he is certainly declining fast. Fortunately, it looks like he won't win the election in November. 🙏
  8. I just completed this quiz. My Score 60/100 My Time 72 seconds  
  9. I declared that I was taking statins for cholesterol and medication for mild hypertension and got the medicines listed on the policy (WRLIfe). I'm assuming, possibly foolishly, that I'm covered!
  10. I just completed this quiz. My Score 80/100 My Time 46 seconds  
  11. You could try emailing them: info(at)perfectplayer.tv
  12. KFC Thailand presumably adjusted the style to suit their Thai customers, not expat Americans, and it seems to have worked!
  13. Hmm. He's being held on remand in the same place as Epstein was, another of Trump's pals. Perhaps he needs to watch his back!
  14. Very true. The Democrats have hopefully learned from this. Clinton was far too complacent.
  15. Walz didn’t order Minnesota schools to put tampons in boys’ bathrooms or sign a bill requiring tampons to be put in all boys’ bathrooms. That’s not what the bill signed by Walz in 2023 actually says — and it’s not how the 15 Minnesota school districts say they have implemented the law. The law, intended to make sure students of all income levels and gender identities have ready access to menstrual products, says school districts and charter schools must make menstrual products like tampons and pads available at no cost “to all menstruating students in restrooms regularly used by students in grades 4 to 12 according to a plan developed by the school district.” The law never specifies that the menstrual products must be put in “boys’ bathrooms,” and it allows school districts to decide what counts as a bathroom “regularly used by students.” Districts are permitted to provide menstrual products in bathrooms for students of any gender, which are often single-stall rooms, rather than in their traditional multi-stall bathrooms for boys. All 15 of the districts that responded Friday to a survey of 25 districts, including the Minneapolis and St. Paul districts in the state’s two most populous cities, said they comply with the law without providing tampons in traditional boys’ bathrooms. https://www.houstonchronicle.com/politics/texas/politifact/article/fact-check-tim-walz-tampons-19660855.php
  16. He didn't lie about his military service and why would anyone object, let alone ridicule, providing free sanitary products in schools? Other than the likes of Trump and Vance that is!
  17. When have the police ever said that??? 🤭
  18. Correct. My 9-year-old gets 40 baht a day for school snacks and 50 baht a week for pocket money.
  19. I've always banked with Lloyds and have continued to do so since moving to Thailand 19 years ago. I do use a family address in the UK, but they know I live in Thailand. For online transactions I use my Thai mobile number to receive the OTP code, which usually works well.
  20. The prisons are over-crowded so it would be ridiculous to exacerbate the problem. His life is pretty much over.
  21. So, if I decide to be ultra-cautious and do a first 90-day report for him, before his next extension, will he be fined 2,000 baht? 🤨
  22. No. A child can only have Thai citizenship if they have a Thai parent.
