You've already said it too many times already, but go ahead, knock yourself out. I don't know why you are telling me. I don't bank with Bangkok Bank. I never mentioned Bangkok Bank FTT transfers and neither did the post I quoted.

I would reckon he was transferring to Bangkok Bank over a weekend and you weren't. Quite possibly, but to me his post implies that all wise UK to Thailand transfers now take 3 days.

You mean your transfers take 3 days. Mine still done in seconds/minutes.

Thanks for the heads up @recom273. I enjoyed season 1 of The Gold.

Completely different process, requiring posting certified documents, a long and intrusive paper form to fill and post back, no invitation code issued. Usually it will take 6 months longer, and the first pension payment delayed by months. Followed by, frozen pension, and frequent proof of life forms that will often result in pension payments being randomly stopped. The DWP sent an invitation to claim my state pension to my Thai address 3-4 months before my pension was due, inviting me to ring them on +44 191 218 7777. No forms to fill in or supporting documents to supply.

Yes. TM7 is the correct form.

Thanks for the heads up @oxo1947. I'll definitely keep and eye out for Taboo season 2.

Apologies @Will27. My bad.

Repetition

I also watched it and thought that the ending was okay but did not tie up a lot of loose ends, and for me it left me wondering if there was going to be a second series, because there's certainly enough material to be taken further. I enjoyed it all the same. IMHO there has to be at least one more season because of the loose ends and in particular they didn't catch Morck's shooter(s) and why were the cops shot in the first place?

Meiji currently @ 95 baht (was 99.75 baht last week) for 2 litres in Big C where I live. Lowest it's been for ages.

Mobland complete season 1 now on TheRARBG (& probably elsewhere)

I've just finished season 1 of Dept. Q and enjoyed it. It got better as it progressed IMHO. I got it from TheRARBG.

Thanks for the heads up @recom273. I enjoyed season 1.

I also thought The One That Got Away was good.

When I claimed my SP, I phoned the International Pension Centre, 4 months prior to my data of eligibility, which for me was 4 months prior to my 66th birthday. Best to do it early IMHO in case of issues/delays. Also best to ring them since less info is required as opposed to the postal application form and you do not need to supply any supporting documents which may be required to support a postal application. Took me approx 20-30 minutes on the phone plus about 5 minutes waiting in the queue.
