  1. Retired at 54 ( 3 years ago ) , living off a company pension which is doable, would have been better if 2 years ago circumstances had not changed and brought the uk-Thai exchange rate fiasco, but hey ho !

    Have a few quid tucked away for a rainy day and only 10 years away from my state pension [emoji51]

    Bought a house and a car and don’t drink or socialise much so living expenses are cheap, can still travel back to uk 2 or 3 times a year to visit family and travel within Thailand whenever I care to.

  2. Seems my assumption why these sim cards are so cheap was wrong.
    I ordered another of these SIM cards, and this one is now valid to be activated until August 2019, so it wasn't a special one time promotion in 2018 but seems to be an ongoing promotion
    I wonder how the shops on Lazada can sell it for less than half of what you would pay in regular shops

    I do hope that this is the case as I ordered 2 on Dec 25th and now awaiting delivery !!
    Now down to 1,245 baht !

    p.s. am paying COD

  5. Yes I voted for Bill also, did you know he is trying to eradicate all known diseases known to man as well as trying to preserve the Minke Whale.

    Yes, I hear he’s boycotting all things Japanese and threatening to set himself on fire outside the Japanese embassy at this very moment !!

  6. Well it’s all very quiet !!

    I voted for someone who’s posts are always level headed and polite ( that’s ruled 98% of TVF posters out [emoji51]) and someone who I believe is truly a “ very nice chap “. Someone who’s been in LOS ( and indeed on this planet ) a lot longer than me and I respect his advice on various matters Thai .
    Whether he wins or not is not really the issue, POTY has given me a chance to show my appreciation of his posts by way of a vote .

  7. Andrew, I think you might be using this tape (picture) versus the thicker mounting tape? If I am right the best way I have found is to firmly press the tape onto the surface very well, especially the edge where you will try and remove the liner, then take an Xacto knive or corner of singe edge razo to start and lift the line at the edge. if the tape is securely applied the force to release the liner will be very easy and it will lift.

  8. An Englishman, a Scotsman and an Irishman were exploring in the rainforest when they were captured by a tribe of Indians.

     

    They were taken to the Indian chief who said them “ your skin very strong, make good canoe , but I give you one final wish “

     

    The Scotsman said “ a case of Scottish Whisky “ and disappeared into a tent to drink.

     

    The Englishman said “3 young Indian girls “ and disappeared into a tent to enjoy.

     

    The Irishman said “ a fork “ and after receiving it stabbed himself all over his body saying “ if you think you’re gonna make a bloody canoe out of me ..................”

  9. I'm not really sure what's going on here. I've just been on a thread that showed Marco, Oddy, and Andy D well placed. Now they are not even in any of the three groups.
     
    Surely their votes were enough to see them through.
     
    When does the final start?

    You were lucky to find that thread, the majority haven’t been able to !! [emoji51]

    Actually it was a mistake, when the nominees were put into groups someone ( no names mentioned eh Scott ) forgot to turn over the page and 14 nominees were missed and instead of adding them to this thread they were banished to POTY Part 2 thread which was hidden in the depths of TVF .

    I’m not bitter because I know I’m an “ also ran “ but some of the others in the Part 2 thread stood a chance ( of coming 2nd obviously [emoji849] ).

    Anyway all is good because I’ve just had an email from TVF boss “ El Queso grande “ that all nominees in Part 2 will receive a free dot !! [emoji851]

  10. Read my previous post [emoji16] re: final group.
    "I dont think you can take 2 from each group as you could potentially have someone with 5 votes beating someone with 23 !! 
     
    I think the final group should be all those with say "above 20" is my opinion."

    You’ll be suggesting to include Dave2 in the voting next !! [emoji51]
