I'll take the opposing view. I met several people visiting here from Chiang Rai last year. During the natural course of conversation, it turns out they used to be TV members but left to join another forum due to what they described as the unacceptable behavior of villagefarang on the Chiang Rai forum.

I'll also say it's very petty of you to post this in the Chiang Mai forum where we have several of our own resident members competing for the same "title". Cheap shot at those members.

There are many many ordinary decent expats in Chiangrai who have long memories of this individual who as referred to ordinary decent people as " the dregs". " the usual suspects" " the shorts and flipflop brigade" in the sarcastic way only he knows how to post. He looks down on anyone who goes out for a drink with friends

and as in the past recommended you don't go out after dark in case you get mugged by some drunken farang who are only out after dark. ALL TRUE

You can kid some of the people some of the time

But you cant kid all the people all the time

If all else fails you can watch Australia network by other means.

Can you give more info about " other means"

Thanks

Good quality feed as well as many other channels to choose from.

Can use this service on your pc, laptop, android device etc.

Once you register on line you then buy Truemoney from 7/11. Other payment options are available too. You then input the pin number from the 7/11 receipt to the website and then you watch whatever package you have chosen.

Once you are registered you can try the service out with a 2 hour pass to see if you are happy with the service.

No contracts either which is a plus.

A review of the service with a link below.

Anyone Know were you can watch a replay of the fight

Thanks

Oh, give the guy a break! He recently lost his girlfriend.

Bang, Bang. Bang and Bang again

Does that sound like a accident.

Does anyone know if a Krungthai bank visa debit card,would be acceptable as payment to the HMPO to renew a British passport

Thanks

is stan boardman still alive?

He gave a interview to the echo last May aged 77

He never forgave the Germans for bombing the chipies

I liked the one were the old one is listening to the wireless when she heard the news that the Germans had

overrun Tobruk.

She screamed " them dirty squareheads our Maggie lives in Tuebrook"

Great comeback by Everton,when you consider 3 out of the regular back 4 are injured and the 2 fullbacks are still wet behind the ears.

Typical of Everton not to make a song and dance when their top players are out injured,and just get on with the squad players they have.

Well done the blues

R.I.P. the OP's elderly friend from Tha-Ton.

The system of sending your passport-application to the FCO-office in Hong Kong, via DHL both ways (prepaying the return), worked quite well for a few years.

So how come the UKPA cannot now accept us using DHL, to send in our applications in the same way, to a convenient-to-them address in the UK if need be ?

Why does their every attempt to streamline their systems cost us more, take longer, and add to our inconvenience ?

I will tell you why you can't send and accept by DHL

The powers that be in the HMPO who sanctioned this contract with the VFS giving them a " nice little earner"

And did not give two monkeys about people having to travel up to 4,000 kilometres to renew a passport,

The VFS receive a fee from the HMPO per appointment so by doing the common sense way and letting you send by mail means NO " nice little earner" for the VFS.

So you thought sticking your hands all over someone's face then smacking him with a flailing arm is gamesmanship Bob? If deliberate, the latter alone is always a sending off offence. Faces are to be protected. Bumping someone to the ground is "unsporting behaviour" and warrants only a yellow card

have seen far worst incidents then the costa affair go scott free, !!!!

alan shearer had the sharpest elbows ever in the E.P.L era, fellini of m/u is a elbow merchant, rooney is forearm one,drogba was very adept to the dark art putting c/halfs through the mincer,

ask senderos formely of arsenal, the list goes on and on

its the way costa plays,and he will pay the price of a 3 match ban,and get on with it, why the witch hunt,???????? just sour grapes, !!!!

the F.A. are just big noting here,

gabriel should at least receive a 3 match ban here also,and possibly a further match for improper conduct charge for contesting referee dean.s decision,if not a fine

and the old tyrant scrooge wenger will get nuffin after slagging referee dean.s handling of the match,at a post match news conference

that just shows the F.A are just a bunch of weaklings

BTW

WHATS THE SCORE, CHELSEA 2 ARSENAL 0 two nil, two nil, two nil ,two,nil

winners are grinners,losers can please them selves

and its top of a morning to all

Yes even stevens

I would agree with you that the players you mention could hold their own in the elbow stakes,but the difference beween them and this coward Costa is they could Take it aswell as give it without running to the referee and deliberately getting a player sent off.

And then you have Mourinho condoning this cowards action by saying " it sells tickets" " this is what people want to see". I would be ashamed if i was a fair and equal supporter like your name evenstevens of a team that condones such cowardly actions from a player

It might of been a different story if Chelsea had not tried to take the piss out of Everton by offering 20 million in the first place.

clean your act up soapy, c/sea,s initial bid was 26 mil

all partys concerned including c/sea handled the massive t/f saga very well

apart from martini,s grand standing press conferences,slagging c/seas approach to securing stones,which was above board from day 1

martini will become E.P.L . biggest bullshitter when loserpool,s waffling brenda gets the punt

a top of the morning to all my readers on the footy forum

Instead of reading the Sun or the Star (that s if you can read) you should read the Guardian if you want to improve your football knowledge

Everton made it clear, yet again, on Tuesday that they are not interested in parting with the 21-year-old defender, who has been capped four times, and will not enter into negotiations with the champions. That resolve could yet be tested by an offer which would establish Stones as the most expensive defender in English football, though raising the bid to £40m would effectively see Chelseadoubling their original valuation of the centre-back.

Manchester City’s Fernandinho accuses Diego Costa of provocation in Chelsea match

The London club’s opening offer was worth £20m, with subsequent bids of £26m and, on Monday, £30m having been rejected. Roberto Martínez has refused to deny claims the player is attracted to the possibility of moving to Stamford Bridge, where he would compete in the Champions League this season, although the defender – who has four years remaining on his Everton contract – has not agitated for a move. Indeed, his form for and commitment to Martínez’s side to date this term has been exemplary.

And if you are talking about the press conference after Chelsea got whacked,when the spoilt brat Mourinho stormed out because he could not go first with the interview,and the perfect response from Martinez was "he was a nice person last season when they won 6-3"

Anyone see the groves fight, i know he lost but how did he do ?

rijit

Yes i saw the groves fight,he thought he won the fight and stormed off before the interviews.

I did not think he won the fight,Jack the ripper won it for meT

Not a bad performance from a small club,was it Jose?

You would think Chelsea were the SMALL club offering 20 million and then upping it 4 times to 38 million

For a class act like John Stones who at todays prices is worth every penny of 50 million

The odds were Buckingham Palace to a bag of beans that Stones would have a faultless performance, against the club that tried to sign him, in front of his adoring fans and a non trier of a centre forward.

I have watched every Everton game last season and this season,John Stones as been OUTSTANDING for JEverton.

It might of been a different story if Chelsea had not tried to take the piss out of Everton by offering 20 million in the first place.

If its par for the course with Kenwright,Everton will sell him for what he is worth 50 million as Kenwright insists the books must balance

I would love to be a fly on the wall at the Chelsea balancing of the books meeting.

And lets face it,the only reason your sugar daddy chairman bought Chelsea was he had promised his lad a cowboy outfit for christmas.

Anyone interested

The fights on true visions, true sport 6

Anyone know if the fight is being shown live in Thailand and if so,what channel

The Sportsman is advertising it on their website..from 7am Sunday.

Cant remember the soi, but near Nana BTS opposite Chuwit gardens.

I prefer the Kiwi bar but no mention as yet on their website about this fight and the operating hours are from 9am

Anymore info if the fight is being televised in Thailand

Thanks

The last few days, his predictions have been pretty accurate. The last five years, nost so much.

I remember about ten years ago he was being interviewed on CNBC or Bloomberg

He insisted that everyone should buy gold,that was 350 usd ? per ounce at the time.

I have always had the highest regard for his opinions since then

According to the CIMB website,their seniors one year account pays 2.15% tax free maximum one million฿

For Thai's only

As my current seniors account with CIMB matures next week,i asked today about renewing the account at my local branch.

The manager told me the rate is 2.15% no tax maximun one million ฿ one year period.

I am not Thai

According to the CIMB website,their seniors one year account pays 2.15% tax free maximum one million฿

When you take into account, CTH right from the start are just a Mickey mouse outfit who paid 200 million US for the EPL rights for three years knowing that the only way they could pay the 200 million US was to borrow 14 billion ฿ from the Bangkok bank.

Then the customers they had went for months without receiving monthly invoices and could not get any sense from their customer service, plus the fact that their encryption system they have as been compromised.

I am amazed they have lasted this long

Krung Sri has a few accounts that may be of interest:

Mee Tae Dai isn't a fixed deposit account, so your money is available any time without loss of interest. For 800,000 Baht it pays 1.85%. For me it's convenient because there's no nonsense of dealing with maturity and rolling over into 3 month fixed deposits. Rates are consistently good.

10 month fixed deposit pays 1.90%.

8 month step up deposit pays an average rate of 2.10%.

Mee Tae Dai account now down to 1.80%

What I would suggest to anyone in difficulty in meeting HMPO's address evidence requirement would be to write a snail mail letter of complaint to them about the lousy passport renewal procedures to which we are now subject, around a year before your passport is due for renewal. All being well, you should then receive a reply in the post in sufficient time to enable you to use it as the necessary evidence!

The HMPO sent my friends 13 years old daughter the standard proof of address letter with her address on that she had put on the passport forms,stating that they were not satisfied with her address.she returned the same form thinking this would be proof of address

But Four weeks went by before she received another standard proof of address letter but this time someone with an ounce of common sense hand wrote at the bottom of the letter to just go to her school and ask for a letter that says she goes to this school and her address on record is etc.So simple if they would have said in the first place that this school letter would suffice she would not hold the record of 18 weeks to renew a British passport.

Another friend as just applied to renew his passport,he and his wife own their house but is wife as given him a one year lease in English signed with her maiden name as proof of address.

So far they have not contacted him after 3 weeks so he will wait and see if this is acceptable

Just to complete the circle:

I was about to run off to the KBank this morning, then I thought better call and get someone who speaks good English than listen to myself speaking Thai

THEN an SMS came on my phone. It MAY have been 24 hours after application anyway there was about a day wait.

I had NOT received an email as it mentions in the information from KBank above.

I did my best to read the Thai message.

It didn't mention a KWeb shopping card it just said Km alert spending for card x-1234 (last four numbers though I didn't realise it at this stage) is "riabroy laew" (all set to go).

I went to the cyber site and logged in with my new username and altered password. No prob....the site works fast and well.

I clicked on Kweb shopping card and discovered I had a card number and it was ACTIVE.

I double checked against the physical card issued already to ensure it was NOT the same 16 digit number. It was not.

It sure looks like i have a Shopping Card (virtual) ready to go.

I still have not received any emails as told.

Sure hope my little story helps make the next guy's application less confusing.

Thanks for all help, I shall complete my passport application henceforth!

Well done Cheeryble

It could have been worse

You could have been building a house as well Ha ha
