The Fugitive

Wow! Thanks so much. That's another website bookmarked!

Same here. Google Chrome is a system APP on Android hence cannot be uninstalled. Been hearing about Google not being trustworthy (Microsoft being a sinister organisation etc.) for years. We use it because it works and it works well. No point in 'doubling up'.

Love this! Many thanks for posting this hyperlink!

Spot on! My Mrs posted on Facebook the insurance company guy presenting her with a giant cheque (you know the sort of thing) for 100,000. I was amazed that it was, in fact, only a few days after the death.

It is unlikely that you would be ripped off for 18,000 (only). When I was asked for help with two very recent funerals it was 50,000 and then 100,000. I gave both even though I knew that one person had funeral plan cover.

I think Tuvoc is referring to his own case here.

Browser Market Share Worldwide - August 2022 Chrome 65.52% Safari 18.78% Edge 4.29% Firefox 3.15% Samsung Internet 2.85% Opera 2.2%

Agreed! For that reason I guess most of us (myself included) use Google Chrome as our 'go to' browser. I only have that installed, but keep browser installation files (.exe, .deb, .rpm) in download folder, data partition and on external hard drive. Fortunately, have never had a problem of lost/corrupted Google bookmarks.

100% in agreement. That is exactly how it was.

Shouldn't have happened of course. Had a Lazada product showing as 'delivered'. Was referred to Best. Turned out package had been returned to their depot because we were out. Local delivery guy was most apologetic for forgetting to bring it out with him the next day.

Scoot were happy to take his money when it suited them. If they had cancelled the route prior to departure he would have had a choice. However, he was already out here when they did that. He's left with no other option but full price airlines. Shabby treatment to say the least.

Thanks for that. My SurfShark subscription is almost due for renewal. I can say that in almost two years using Windows, Linux, iPhones and Android mobiles I've never been unable to connect or unblock geo-blocked websites. Don't stream much so your tip is valuable information. Previously, I subscribed to ZENMATE which was cheapest at the time. However, it couldn't unblock BBCIPlayer. I complained twice to be told 'We're working on it'. By day 29 it still wasn't availabe to me so I cancelled and got my subscription back in full.

I was bumped off (due to overbooking) a TAM flight from Asuncion to Sao Paulo together with 2 other passengers. They booked us into a decent hotel, meal provided together with taxi transport. We were rebooked onto a flight later same day and were able to make the original onward connection from Sao Paulo. Gave us a $200 discount voucher for future use too.

Thanks very much for taking the time and trouble to post this valuable information. I have Mastercard credit cards with both Santander and Halifax Bank. Very recently (in the last week) I was told by Customer Services of both banks that there is no problem with having a Thailand address or of sending renewed/replacement cards to Thailand. Makes life more interesting I suppose!

Belgian chocolate isn't too bad either!

Totally unacceptable in that case. Thanks for the clarification.

Didn't think of that. Head scratching time now!

I expect so because the setting refers to all notifications. Will observe what happens from now onwards!

Good advice and instructions in the newspaper article about why and how to change your notification settings for iPhones and Android. Must admit, both my main 'phone and back-up were set to always show notifications whether locked or not. Another lesson learned thank you!

Very good points! The airline have discontinued flying that route. Passengers who have already booked but not yet flown (outwards) will be disappointed but have options. This guy is actually half way through his booking so the airline should be responsible for arranging an alternative return flight at no extra cost.

Agree. I've done it myself several times in the last few weeks.

Could it be a genuine 'staffing issue' and they've not got enough staff to process quickly enough? Possibly your refund will appear on the next but one 'billing cycle'. Agreed it's very poor customer service but maybe the employee is acting under instruction to put people off as long as possible to 'buy time'?

Just tried my SurfShark VPN setting it to Manchester U.K. Both ITVIPlayer (Hub) and BBCIplayer are working well.

Received 1 X Sinovac and 2 X AZ in Thailand. Last (the booster) was in February 2022. Taken one self test after a bout of coughing and sneezing which indicated negative. All family except mother-in-law were vaccinated and all subsequently contracted Covid (except for mother-in-law!).

Just tested 'SurfShark' and all OK. Never had any problem connecting or unblocking geo-blocked websites in two years with them.
