Do we have some kind of competition going on in ASEAN for the lengthiest post? Rooster, Gamma Globulin and poppysdad appear to be front-runners. OP, you are reminding me of the guy who said " I'm so unlucky, if I bought a cemetery, people would stop dying."

Horses for courses, croissants are off my menu list too. Perhaps you are also missing my point about having one less variable, it's called the KISS principle.

I am on a low carb diet, I only want to cook meat. Pies and chips, get thee behind me Satan.

The only portal I use for my debit card is Lazada, have never had a problem with them. Anyone else, I make a payment to their account. If anyone wants my card details after I have offered to pay that way, I cut them off. As another poster has recommended, I use a Faraday cage wallet. On the extremely rare occasions I withdraw cash from an ATM, I will only do it at a bank with a card that matches the bank. Paranoid, yes. Seems to work for me, I have never been the victim of a card scam.

I bought the Gaabor for 799 baht plus 45 baht delivery. I bought it because my internet research indicated it was a brand with a good reputation, from a supplier who also had good Lazada credentials. If you think you have something bigger and better, bully for you. I don't intend to be cooking whole legs of lamb.

I don't know if I understand what you are saying, AFAIK there is nothing that impedes a couple from renewing their wedding vows in one or more than one country. Be that as it may, how would an amphur in the backblocks of Issan know they were man and wife in the UK, if they chose to say nothing?

Cooking is the same as chemistry - time, temperature and reagents ( food ). Having a constant temperature means there is one less variable to deal with. I was not expecting a food critic on this thread, but have at it.

You are confident the Thai bureaucracy would recognize a marriage in another country? This is Thailand, remember? What I am suggesting is to put any potential issue beyond doubt. IIRC, Thai probate takes about 6 months. Better if it is not longer due to some technicality.

I would suggest the OP could make his situation ironclad by having a Thai and UK will. The bank account in his name in Thailand might still be in dispute, as he is not married there. I would not want to rely on the impartiality of a Thai bureaucrat, when it is a fairly significant sum. I have an Australian and a Thai will. My assets in Australia go to my son there, my assets in Thailand go to my Thai GF. Nearly 40 years, well done. Although people get less than that for murder.

Send the six kids out of the room. Tell them they are disruptive to the kids that want to learn. Also tell them without education, most of them will be deadbeats with no future by the time they hit 25.

They could also drop dead at 55 from a heart attack, which is statistically far more likely. But I forgot, you are dedicated to quoting outliers.

My fryer has an heater element, no halogen. Not that it matters, I won't be cooking anything large.

True enough, AFL footballers are all muscle. They would be classed as obese on BMI, which is why skin fold testing is used instead. Having said that, if someone who is not an athlete has a BMI of 35, it's fair to say they are a lardass.

I'll be buying fresh meat from Tops or Big C, never have liked cooking frozen stuff. Thanks for the tips re covering a roast, and the pans to save cleaning. I'll get a meat thermometer.

I think my favorite German word is schadenfreude. Not that I am into it myself.

RIP. Perhaps the most appropriate adjective for her is wholesome.

Heard some horror stories about Filipinas, Google Rose Porteous. I suppose they do have an advantage over the Thai women in terms of being able to speak English. OTOH, from what I have heard the food is dreck.

Neither did I, thought I was in the food forum.

I recently bought an air fryer on Lazada. Not big, I only want it to cook 300 - 400 gm of meat - pork tenderloin, beef, and chicken breast. The fryer runs at a constant 200 C, with the timer. I may try a small roast later. Any ideas on seasonings that are compatible with air frying welcome. The non-stick tub and support grill get very hot when cooking. When adding water to soak residues before cleaning, can I add while hot, or is it best to wait until cooled down? Yes, I have read the manual.

IMO how well the procedure works and any side effects are very much in the hands of the urologist/surgeon doing the operation. Which means in a public hospital the doctor may not be as well qualified or experienced.

By October, I suspect Aeroflot will have enough on its plate just servicing internal Russian demand, after cannibalizing aircraft to keep other aircraft flying. IMO either there will be another announcement cancelling the resumption of flights, or they will be symbolic only, for propaganda purposes. I certainly would not want to take an Aeroflot flight. As Clint Eastwood said, do you feel lucky?

Corporal punishment should only be administered by a headmaster, who can be objective. A teacher in the classroom who needs to hit a student IMO is a lousy teacher. All the teachers I knew could control a classroom with a sharp tongue, or force of personality.

Life a bit slow in CM just now?

Aussies would call you a wowser.
