Not to mention little things like the Blitz. "day that shattered innocence" - pure fiction (which is not what I really mean).

So many people appear not to understand that Skype's main USP was calling to landlines and other corporate numbers where whassap and the rest don't go. Plus, I had skype numbers to receive calls - they just vaporised and again whatssap and co don't help. many thanks for that link. I certainly cannot find any skype option in teams profile as mentioned by some posters.

(asuming you meant 'reparations'. 'Repetitions' would be reprehensible) How far back should these payments go? Biblical times? Prehistoric? Just asking for a friend.

For some time I used a website https://123tvnow.xyz that provides really good sport coverage, especially important stuff like footy and cricket. Every few weeks it goes off the air for a few days then re-appears. Now, I have been unable to get into the site for weeks. Anyone else use this channel and if so, has the URL changed? Or is it down for the foreseeable? (I have tried with and without various VPNs, .com extensions etc, no luck). There are alternatives but none was so user-friendly and reliable as 123, so any info would be welcome.

Just that if you are US, you might think "hyperbole" was a football match

Hyperbole. Bit like irony. Bit like "bronzy" or "silvery". You American?

In Bangkok? (BIB)

Sorry if it was misunderstood. You re-make my point, which is that many here have to trek thousands of km to an IO while Samut Prakan is probably (since they relocate back to the riverside) the easiest in Thailand to get to. I thought the OP was making - at least - a mountain frm a molehill.

talk about making a crisis out of a drama.... The amphoe is 200m across the car park from the IO (which is a 5min walk from the BTS, it's not exactly away in Isaan). She can do it by the time you have got your queue number and sat down.

Play golf? You ever hit Nicola Sturgeon? Golf is for male sexist pigs, according to a recent paper (no, seriously): “How Men Use Symbolic Masculinity to Network Through Golf” (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/gwao.13271). Golfers really should be ashamed of themselves! Sociologist joins a bunch of Geordie golfers for a round and earwigs their banter: “The flight path of golf balls and golf challenges they faced were ... given names rooted in heteronormative and misogynistic language. [t]he men developed their own jargon based around the sport. I observed shots being referred to as a PHILIP SCHOFIELD: a shot that appeared “to be straight but ended up being ‘bent’” SALLY GUNNELL: an ugly little runner NICOLA STURGEON: to describe “a nasty little five-footer”. Report goes on forever, berating these nasty men. It was “supported by National Innovation Centre for Rural Enterprise and Research England.”

short answer: NO.

It is chanote - looking at the doc now. That appears to be the only good thing about it!

No, not a sign on the property - we had not considered it! We are not exactly local, and though the circumstances are not like yours, there are some touchy aspects (in his family, whose 'present' it was and they rather expected him to keep it) to be got round. Anyway, does a sign on the property EVER work (I got so used to seeing them everywhere but they stay up for years!)

Thanks for this. Couple of thngs I had not even considered. The land in question is about 500km away, though - would a land office (presumably has to be the relevant changwat?) respond by phone or does someone actually have to go there?

My step-son (khun thai) wants to sell off a piece of land (never built on) that he will never use. It's just 7 rai but should be useful to someone and he wants the cash for a business idea. The question is, how does he establish roughly what that land might be worth? When I search google, etc, all I get - obviously - are answers relating to farang buying/selling. How do Thais go about working out what their land is worth (per rai) in a particular area? Also, is there any government tax on sale of land that Thais have to pay (naive question, perhaps) beyond a 3 percent fee if an agent is used. [I searched for this in the TV forums but surprisingly can't find anything]
