  1. Totally agree! There seems to be fewer photographs on Facebook recently taken by 'First Responders' showing the result of road accidents (usually involving moto's). Strangely, a friend in UK asked me not to repost these as they were upsetting him. He is a motorcycle fan himself, owning and riding several machines including a Ducati.
  2. Very sorry for your loss and, of course, the most upsetting circumstances.
  3. Most sensible. Many thanks for your info!
  4. Mrs and I went to a friend’s house where the husband/father was dying. When we arrived he’d been dead for a few minutes. Two girls and a young man were working most professionally, uncoupling his urine bag etc. I thought they might have been off-duty nurses but they were, in fact, his children. Most admirable work in distressing circumstances. Our community ‘undertakers’ arrived. Unfortunately, none of the external doorways were wide enough to admit the refrigeration unit. By this time the flies were swarming and father had to be covered with blankets. Builders working on the house next door agreed to assist. At that point we left. Mrs has since been measuring our doorways. Anyone with similar experience?
  5. Seem to have found the answer; if aged 15 or over, no problem. https://travel.trueid.net/detail/P0GprJoM9JO3
  6. Found this quite good info from USA; https://oceanbreezeprosthodontics.com/restorative/types-of-dental-crowns-and-cost-a-complete-guide-2023/
  7. Myself and five Thai family members due to cross overland into Laos end October for 3 days. All of us have passports except for my 18 year old Thai neice. Have read that she can easily obtain a three-day border pass (30-50 baht?). Neither of her parents will be present. Given that age of majority is 20 in Thailand and 18 in Laos will she need written permission to exit Thailand from either (or both) parents? Problem is her parents are separated, father doesn't want to know about anything and her mother is working in India.
  8. Reverse with me. Whilst back in UK for 3 months suffered sore throat, headaches and coughing up very nasty thick dark green stuff for 6 weeks. Back in Thailand on Monday, Mrs got me all sorts of tablets from our local nurse/dispenser. Today, (Wednesday) all clear. However, Mrs now has sore throat and cough.
  9. That's because it's only the search field. 'Watch now' appears below the results found. Andrew Dwyer has posted good alternatives to try!
  10. You need to click on 'Watch Now'. That takes you to a source of the movie with choices of 1) Free 2) Rent or Buy and 3) Subscription.

  12. Many thanks for your kind reply. Probably best option for you is, as you say, seek treatment in Europe. I'm in U.K. at the moment but the way our National Health Service is performing I know I'm not going to get any treatment for a long time so I haven't even asked.
  13. Thanks for your info. I understood that USA and allies went home in 1973. Guessing that conscription continued due to manpower shortages caused by the conflict?
  14. Very interesting thanks! Did New Zealand have National Service at that time? So there was no conscription? Only members of the regular forces who actually volunteered were deployed?
  15. Sorry can't assist as live in North East. However, I see Tony M has already kindly replied. Please can I ask how effective you find these medicines? I have had two strip and ligate ops, one 50 years and the other 32 years ago. Done in sections so 'less barbaric' apparently. Over the year's other veins have since blown up and I believe I'm now at the stage of requiring treatment again. I also have discomfort from haemorrhoids. Back then I asked if injections were useful? I was told that they don't work and strip/ligate was the way forward. Medicines were never discussed. Any words of advice appreciated, thank you.
  16. Switching off shouldn't cause any faults. However, maintenance routines and updates will queue and may take some time to complete if your machine has been off for a while. With a new machine this shouldn't be a problem for you though.
  17. These settings would also have been on your previous machine. The defaults are designed to suit most needs. Therefore, if you never needed to change them previously, I wouldn't worry. They are there to enable you to save a little electricity and also to suit individual preferences.
  18. Pleased that you are now home and recovering. A few of us are intrigued. What did the hospital actually do? Were there X-rays, scans, stitches, plaster casts and/or bandaging etc?
  19. Thanks for your report. The fact that attention was immediate is most important in such circumstances. You are obviously satisfied with your care and accommodation. Another thread today mentioning PAI (Personal Accident Insurance). Something to think about if you don't already have it?
  20. I agree. Limiting one account per device has to be more secure. Have recently opened current accounts, savings accounts and taken out a credit card with some of the new 'Neo Banks'. They are mobile app access only, no web service available.
  21. WoW! Thanks for the warning. I don't maintain an active UK SIM whilst in Thailand. My UK institutions all have my virtual UK mobile number with 'VYKE'. Therefore, I need to obtain a pre-pay UK SIM such as Giffgaff. Would the UK bank be able to tell that the UK mobile number of the data connection differed from the UK mobile number upon my account? Or would that not matter?
  22. Good info thanks! Using another mobile and manual typing into the app works for me whilst in UK. I suppose if the banks eventually limit access to via SIM only, enabling mobile data whilst roaming should solve that, albeit at our cost.
  23. I'm in the market myself. Please let us know about delivery, packaging etc. Also, how easy it is to set up and go?
  24. So can low blood glucose. Often accompanied by nausea.
  25. That is my experience. My local high street dental clinic has both general and specialist dentists. Equipment seems very up-to-date and they recently installed a most impressive looking X-Ray machine. There are 9 cubicles with individual air filtration/extraction systems.
