  1. Among all the BS on the Samsung page, it mentions measuring your BMI. For that it needs to know your height & more importantly weight, which obviously can vary from day to day. No way a watch can do this unless you tell it the data. Easier to use the calculator on your phone for this. BMI is Weight (kg) divided by height (metres) divided again by height. Mine is 70/1.76/1.76 = 22.59. If it is over 25, you need to grow a bit taller!
  2. Can you HEAR EVs approaching, or those damned electric cycles?
  3. It's ECG not EEG. But the way you describe it, you want the watch to only monitor your heartbeat, intermittent or not.
  4. I am planning a SKI holiday for my next, 77th birthday. Spending the Kids Inheritance.
  5. Who is BDC please? Hate these TLAs.
  6. The booking.com I just mentioned said Bht 695 0n the website, and that's what I paid. Very close to the airport for when I come back to Thailand.
  7. Change the headline to ALLOW not obligate. And the answer is NO! A separate licence is needed, for which you need to PASS A TEST.
  8. Yesterday I booked an hotel room with booking.com. Paid with my Bkk Bank debit card for a better rate, and received a confirmation email in minutes. The payment had been taken from my bank, as I had expected. Later I got an email, pretending to be from booking.com, saying that my card had been declined and I should click on a link showing. It was in my junk box and showed a fictitious sending address. I deleted it immediately. NEVER open an attachment or open a link in ANY email you do not know is 100% kosher, or they will be emptying your bank account with your card details. Got similar emails this morning from Amazon? and PayPal? I wonder if booking.com has got a leak.
  9. Just read that it is now open for use and could knock the journey down to 30 minutes instead of over an hour on the old route. I would suggest you take the old route as the speed limit is 80 kph.
  10. When I go for an ECG at the hospital, they put 8 sensors on various parts of my body, including ankles, wrists and chest. Then the machine draws out a graph to show how the blood is reaching those parts, heart rate etc. There is NO WAY a watch can do those measurements. I had one last year which did not even measure heart-rate accurately. And to measure blood pressure, an artery must be constricted and then slowly released. Do not fool yourself that a watch can do this properly and accurately.
  11. Confusing that there is such a difference in prices for the same things.
  12. Because there WERE.................plural.
  13. I have just discovered this band. What a sound!
  14. Which is what I, and many others use. Thanks. Remember to tick the Long Stay or Buying Property option or it will arrive instantly as a Local Transfer.
  15. That's OK unless you need to do 65k per month for your retirement extension as many of us do.
  16. Yes thanks, I use Wise with no problems. I convert to Baht in Wise as & when the rate is good and then send Baht to my Bkk Bank. Glad for you that 65k is a 'small' monthly transfer. 555
  17. Do they arrive as International Transfers in order to satisfy the IO?
  18. My two sons who live and work in Dubai as musicians have had it tough since Covid, so I have had to help them out. Youngest got 'caught' using cannabis so 10 weeks in confinement, and it cost me 23k quid to get him out on bail. But I said to them, it's only money you WILL NOT get when I kick it.
  19. No, WaMu, Washington Mutual went bust and was bought by JPM Chase in 2008. Chase has been going for centuries.
  20. My Mrs registered me at this house, my home, 5 years ago. (Well actually, I did it online), I have stayed in hotels, been back to UK several times, but the IO in Phitsanulok just looks at the paper slip in my Passport and all is OK. In fact, they printed a new copy for me last month as the old one was getting a bit tatty.
  21. How many children would understand those words?
  22. Why would his children be giving money to HIM, is it not usually the other way round? And from where did those kids get the money? How come he is getting a pension and retirement compo when he is still working at only 61 years of age? A condo in Hua Hin worth Bht 156M...555.
