Which will circulate throughout the UK economy.

As a former banker he may have spent his life watching fellow Brits suffer...interest rates, mortgages etc. Now it's his turn to feel the pain.

Not it Queensland it hasn't

And on any flight into Oz from Bangkok there is an additional security check at the entrance to the gate. I have seen people lose bottles of booze that they have purchased at duty free on numerous occasions. It has nothing to do with the normal security scans that everyone must go through before passport control. Every bag/ backpack etc is inspected by hand. Duty free booze can be purchased, but must be in a sealed bag and delivered to the gate after the bag search. Unfortunately not every knows this and can lose a couple of hundred bucks of fine booze.

Quoting 3 lakh!! 300,000 kyat. Didn't ask if that was short time, long time rental or outright ownership!

I only wish I did!!

There's usually a terminal where you punch in your phone number. No need to use your phone at all.

I wouldn't go to a war zone. Even before the war Mandalay was a dump. No way I'd live there. The Burmese guys I worked with warned to be very careful at night time due to the stabbings.

About 8 years ago at what they call a fashion show they were asking 300 USD.

Cheese steaks or that weird stuff at Nifty Fifties...scrapple? That was a nice cafe. Love hoagies.

Welcome back Bob/Don/Colin,.....

You are spot on. When the King passed away, the village boss said over the speaker system that whilst people should wear dark coloured clothing, people shouldn't take offence if some people could not. I guess some posters don't realise that in rural Thailand some people can't afford the expense of even a T shirt. Food takes priority.

I don't stay in a hotel but in my wife's house. It was no hassle getting an E visa from Canberra.

Agree. Everything China does has a strategic intent.

Every technological advance humans have ever made ends up in weapons of war. AI will be no different. Be able to kill more efficiently.

Not where I am in Isaan. They wanted " letter from embassy" which turned out to be a certificate of residence, which can't be obtained on a visa waiver entry. Needed a " proper" visa to be able to get one. Other places may of course be different.

There's the the catch 22. I couldn't get a COR on a visa waiver entry so couldn't open a bank account. First time around I got a multi non o marriage from savanahket to overcome the issue. Then a COR then a bank account.

I should add that I only got a visa to be able to get a certificate of residence to renew my Thai driving licences. Since the visa was for less than a year I only got another 2 year temporary licence. Bugger!

Agree. I got a non o evisa based on marriage from Canberra. Had to show 400,000 baht equivalent in an Aussie bank. Evisa for 60 days but stamped in at Swampy for 90 days. Go figure.

Why were they putting other people's words in their mouth's? If that is the best they can do with AI we're doomed.

Yeah my mate is a cattle farmer. A real one. Thousands of acres. No time to feed the cattle hormones or anything else. He breeds them and sells them. Biggest job he has , if he has time ,is pregnancy checking. And also catching young bulls. The ones we eat.

Whatever happened to Sparktrader. Almost as bad as Harrisfan.

Why should you worry. You allegedly live in Kobe?

Why is that ? Did you have a bad experience as a child? You wouldn't have been the first by all reports. I can sympathize as I experienced the same.
