  1. And here's Andrew in poor form.  Not only in poor form but also walking a dangerous line by threatening to post some Malc Almond and Soft Cell.  You fully understand, Andrew, that doing so may get you banned from this thread?  Not only that but you would be liable for any compensatory payments paid to victims due to auricular damages if they inadvertently hit the play button.  You might possibly avoid these serious repercussions if you played Tainted Love, which wasn't a half bad tune.  Anything else, though . . . 
     
    And in support of Andrew's seemingly wild claim of great musicians existing in Leeds here's legal evidence which would stand in any court of law.  The Cresters with the 1964 hit I Just Don't Understand.  Your welcome, Andrew.
     
     

    While I often claim to be from Leeds I was born and lived for many years in a small town midway between Leeds and Bradford and as it has a BD postcode I suppose I am from Bradford !! ( but who wants to admit that !! ).

    Soo, in another feeble attempt to salvage my heritage , here goes.

    NOTE: am resisting the urge to post Kiki Dee or Smokie [emoji51]

    Here’s Allan Holdsworth on guitar flying the flag for Bradford !!

  2. By accident looking for something else, I discovered Counterpart & it's bloody good. Binged on the 10 episodes of Season 1, & because it was released last year, Season 2 is out. [emoji122]

    Anyone seen it - let me know what you think?
     
    I found the plot very intriguing, & the characters - although no really big names, excellent.
     
    Stephen Rea plays a deliciously evil double agent & Nazani Boniadi (never heard of her) made me salivate!
     
     

    Yup, I binge watched season 1 also, excellent IMO, have got season 2 ready but got waylaid with Sneaky Pete which is also excellent IMO .

  3. When you use a Thai medical certificate fo you also use a Thai Police report or Thai Medical certificate along with a home country police report also works? I don't have problem getting police report in the US (for free) and doctor's report is also relatively easy for me but it will require an appointment and last year insurance paid for the physical exams (ACA mandate of yearly physical exams for all health insurances in the USA) for the doc's report. 

    Police report in your home country.
  4. Good info, I personally used a Thai medical certificate when applying for my OA almost 3 years ago at London Thai Embassy, only heard of one other person who did this.

    Apart from the ease of obtaining it, a local hospital filled and signed it for me in under an hour, it was also very cheap , 360 baht ( £8 back then ).

    Together with the strong rumour ( from TVF Member Spambot ) that health insurance will not become mandatory in July the OA is now back on my list of things to bring back from the uk on my visit in September !!

  5. I’ve read his blogs, he posts on here about his relocation to the uk with his Thai wife and daughter, usually has a link to his blog.

    I too would like to hear that all is well with him, a very likeable chap who posts great info about relocating to the uk.

    I know he has suffered from some severe health problems, here’s hoping he’s just enjoying the English summer and too busy to post, but would still like to hear that he is okay .

  6. I think the beach is Cotham Sands with the Corus steelworks in the background.

    Yes, I think you are right, I had the pleasure ([emoji849]) of working at British Steel Port Talbot ( known locally as Port Toilet ) and Corus Haarlem Amsterdam , huge sprawling city like companies spewing out black smoke into the atmosphere.

    British Steel - Corus - Tata Steel now the owner.
  7. Sorry , I made a mistake , she asked for her 350 Baht back in exchange for the 10 $ , which the driver agreed too .
    The driver did agree to the re exchange , but he had every right to decline the request .
    She willing entered into an agreement and by chance , the plan didnt happen .
    Point was, that it wasnt a rip off or a trick , just the Myanmar immigration  changing the rules .
    I tried to explain to the woman that if the worst come to the worst , she could just change the 10$  for 320 Baht in a bank and just be 30 Baht down .

    Sounds like a satisfactory outcome, nobody at fault ( except maybe the female for flying off the handle ).
