  1. Sir, this is the Internet.
  2. I'm lucky. Mrs SR sends me into Pattaya when she wants to clean the house, because I 'make the place untidy.' No questions asked.
  3. Good space, and time apart, is the reason Mrs SR and I have just made 25 yrs together.
  4. Woman has a bit of fun. Breaks a rule. Breaks the internet. People must have such empty lives. 🤷
  5. Amazing how the article can be so much written about a non-event.
  6. If Hamas laid down their weapons there would be peace. If Israelis laid down their weapons there would be real genocide.
  7. Self-evidently untrue, by a huge margin. Musk is a genius with an almost supernatural ability to absorb and synthesise information, and understand the future implications. He is certainly neurodivergent ('on the spectrum') and his posts can appear blunt, offbeat, unfiltered, or just plain weird (example.. his contribution to the football team cave boys situation). But this does not detract from his genius or his importance to society right now.
  8. I would rather he attends, and humiliates their stupidity.
  9. Musk will eat those bozos for breakfast.
  10. The guy sounds a bit creepy, for sure, but the fuss seems full of indignant self-righteousness.
  11. BANGKOK, Aug 26 (Reuters) - Thailand has approved Western Digital's (WDC.O), 23.5 billion baht ($693 million) project to expand hard disk production in the country, Thailand's Board of Investment (BOI) said on Monday, as cloud technology and data centre demand grows. The investment would boost the Thai economy by adding exports worth 200 billion baht per year and creating an extra 10,000 jobs, the BOI said. https://www.reuters.com/technology/thailand-approves-western-digitals-693-mln-investment-project-2024-08-26/
  12. 100% this. Fix the issues but keep the tenants. They sound loyal - you could end up with a lot worse.
  13. An object falling in a vacuum is 'apparently' weightless (rather than actually weightless) since there is no force applied opposing the fall.
  14. Regardless of numbers, the poll can't be relied on to be representative of the population, if it's only viewers of a specific YouTube channel.
  15. This sounds bogus. How can safety standards permit a car that requires a live battery connection just to open the door? No manual override? 🤔
  16. I WAS THERE on Saturday 27th in Trafalgar Square. It was a good day. People from many different walks of life, religions and races were there. It is not about far-right, it is not about racism. It is about understanding that British values, British culture, British way of life is under attack, and needs defending, protecting and celebrating. British people are fair-minded and kind-hearted, and have for decades welcomed to our shores those who want to join us, contribute, and be part of what puts the Great in Great Britain. Unfortunately, there is a torrent of arrivals that don't think that way, and over time it's changing the country we love - for the worse. As a father and grandfather, it's not just a wish but an obligation to the next generation to unapologetically preserve and pass onwards the country that I grew up in.
  17. Sorry I missed this question earlier. If you have decent coverage on your mobile phone then the wifi router will be fine. (Noting some operators have better coverage than others for the same location.)
  18. A valid viewpoint, but overly negative for us. Mutley loves it here in Thailand with the family. A bit of paperwork is not too much hassle for a family member.
  19. I've flown one-way DXB-BKK with Emirates and they asked for a return ticket. They didn't ask at check-in, but when sitting at the gate they called me up to the counter. I was prepared and showed them a printout of my disposable ticket. March 2024.
  20. OP don't let the negativity derail your plans. If you have the funds, and prepared to spend a bit of time planning where you'll stay, there is no need to spend months separated from your four-legged family member. The processes are straightforward (ignore the 'brown envelope' remarks that's nonsense)... let your agent handle it. One other point, the local stray dogs can be a bit territorial, so we usually carry a stick when we take Mutley for a walk! Never had to actually use it though.
  21. Agreed. We have stayed at Cocco Resort in Pattaya, they loved our dog.
  22. We have brought pets to Thailand from UK twice. One a cat, one a dog (Cavalier King Charles Spaniel). Strong recommendation is use an agent to handle everything. It saves a lot of uncertainty and stress. Mutley's breed is naturally long haired. We have his hair cut every 6 weeks, and give him nice showers regularly. He has had no problem at all adapting to Thailand.
  23. Fair price and great performance. It's 4G only but very fast and fine even for Zoom calls, streaming movies etc. I use AIS SIM. No issues. Maybe have to reset once a week max.
  24. Youtube premium is so cheap in Thailand... IIRR i pay THB 149 pm. Music app is good.
