The Dig --- Movie Crime---Ireland 2019

I liked this --Low Budget Irish Crime film--Good acting has a twist at the end---A bit dark

Like most Irish stuff it can be difficult to find, I got from Chaos... Not to be confused with --The Dig 2021

Northern Ireland so the accents can be stronger. If you want subs  https://subttsearch.com/subtitle-details/?imdbID=tt7512276#gsc.tab=0

Made best Irish Movie that year.

 

 

I've watched this and it was very good IMHO.

Thanks, DrJack.

 

BTW,  I could see the captcha letters clearly and thought that I entered  the correct letters in the box below but never got a positive response.     Perhaps my using a VPN is causing a problem.  The letters appear on my Android phone but don't appear on my iPad.  My iPad uses a SIM to access the AIS WiFi.

My VPN is always on. It doesn't cause me a problem when doing online 90 day reports.

I bought one for 1,300 THB... I don't think it's too good to be true. You just get tons of SMS advertising (and sometimes calls).

Interesting, can you provide a link please? I will need a new sim soon.

Hi, I currently have a 30 Mbps dTac SIM with unlimited download (bought last year from Lazada or Shopee).

It is the perfect SIM-card for me (I use my mobile as hotspot for my laptop, and can download at approx 20 Mbps and have no problems streaming HD-movies).

Unfortunately that SIM card will expire in 1 week (18 april), so I am looking for a new 1-year dTac unlimited download SIM. 

Since last year the prices of these unlimited download SIMs seem to have approx doubled, but the price is not the issue for me. 

When looking on Lazada and Shopee (those unlimited SIMs are only available when bought on-line) I see that the 15 Mbps SIMs are still available, but it looks like the 30 Mbps ones, are sold out or not available anymore. 

Note that on Lazada there are 4 semi-identical ads/offers for such a dTac 30 Mbps SIM.  But at approx 1050,- THB those offers are probably 'too good to be true' and it's of course a Big Red Flag that a Thailand dTac SIM would come from abroad... [ https://www.lazada.co.th/products/dtac-30-mbps-unlimited-sim-net-30mbps-1-12-30mbps-mobile2you-i5088939251.html?spm=a2o4m.searchlist.list.2.68315775KoSHyO ]

Also: as the search-engine on both Lazada and Shopee is not very good, maybe they don't show up in my search.

Would be grateful for any response/suggestions re the issue.

Thanks in advance. 

 

The picture has "Melon Thai" as the vendor but if you check the advert, the actual vendor is "Sh***g F*" with estimated delivery date of 17-22 April, making me think it's coming from abroad. If you look at "real" Melon Thai adverts they are asking 2590 baht for a 15Mbps unlimited data 1 year sim, with estimated delivery date of 12-17 April.

That's a big red flag to me. I wouldn't buy it.

This is the first roast beef I've done in over 24 years.  Bit more done than I wanted, at the thin end, but made a tasty sandwich.  

 

Used a Picanha, which started at 1.7 kg, and ended up at 1.1 kg, after all the fat trimmed.  Not a complete loss, as now have 400gr of beef fat.

 

24 hrs after trussed up from the frig, cooked, and on the bread ... 

 

 

 

Very nice.

HMRC are still sending out tax code notices by post. I got one in mid February. This was after I discovered my tax code was wrong using the HMRC app. I contacted them to sort out the issue after HMRC had "assumed" that I would receive the SP increase and adjusted my tax code to cater for that. I contacted them via their webchat and they "fixed" my tax codes for 23/24 & 24/25. I had to do this last year as well. Looks like it's going to happen every year as someone has already stated, HMRC can't tell (or don't care) who is frozen and who is not, so they assume everyone gets the rise, putting the onus on the individual to check their tax code and then if it's wrong, take steps to have it corrected.

My last statement is incorrect. It's not HMRC whose are making the problem, It's the DWP who supply incorrect information to HMRC, I don't see why the DWP can't supply the correct info since THEY know who is frozen and who is not.

"concerns about protecting the whistleblower's identity". Sounds like another "dodgy" witness to me.

I've just finished Barrabrava (Club Hooligans) season 1 and enjoyed watching it. It was recommended by @Will27 previously. It's on Bitsearch.

Got an email from HMRC that my Tax Code for next year was available.

Had to go online to see it, looks like they are not sending a paper copy out now.

Yes, State Pension showed an increase so Tax Code changed and increased tax due from my other pension!

Spent most of the last two years getting this corrected from earlier years of increase applied, eventually getting a cheque from HMRC.

 

Contacting them is not easy, the complaints page has gone.

Rang HMRC three days ago, after trying for 5 times, cut off after a few minutes, and then hanging on for 1 hour 10 minutes finally spoke to someone who corrected the error.

Checked online and my Tax Code returned to normal.

I suppose I'll have to do this again next year.

Thanks @Will27 for the heads up. I'm a big fan of Colin Farrell, so I'll have to have a look at this.
