  1. Depending on the context, crumpet according to the urban dictionary means hot chick, though I always took it to mean having sex, ie "having a bit of crumpet".

    As a Brit , to me , it always means “ hot chick “, as in “ went down the club last night, full of crumpet “.

    Although I might add it’s an older metaphor and rarely used today !

  2. Brazil suffered hyperinflation in the mid eighties right thru till 1994 , various currency changes caused absolute chaos for the population.

    When, in 1994, they finally changed to their current currency ( real ) there was a brief period with the old currency ( cruzeiro ) and the real in circulation concurrently.

    There was a huge difference in the currency value.
    At one point $US 1 was equal to 1 real and 76,000 cruzeiros.

    To have 2 currencies in your wallet caused mayhem, even despite the huge difference in zeros !! , the largest notes were 50 real and 500,000 cruzeiros.

    Luckily the local population were honest people as a local bartender proved when he returned with a 50 real ( $US 50 ) tip I had mistakenly thrown in for a few beers with colleagues !!


  3. I'm curious, since several people report being told this by Jomtien - does/did Jomtien accept 90- day reports online and.or by mail?
     
    Anyhow my take-away from all this is, whenever going to Imm  to make a 90 day report or  file a TM30, have updated passbook and photocopies of same with you.  But don't offer it unless asked. (If using the 800K method).
     
    Probably wise for people everywhere to do this until matters become clearer.  I will.

    Yes, as my immigration ( Ayutthaya ) doesn’t do online 90 days reporting I already made a mental note to update my bank book and take it with me just in case.

    How online and postal reporting deals with it is just another hoop to add to the list.
  4. When I joined TVF I think it was all about bars, bargirls, ladyboys, cons and scams etc ( been a while so I don't remember everything discussed ), now it's about where is the best pizza and crumpets! What the happened to TVF since then?

    People got old !!

    I’m thinking about starting a thread about “ where to find comfortable shoes” [emoji51]
