  1. KODI is just the tool you are using to manage and view your media. The source and type of this media and the hardware you are using could all effect the viewing experience and cause buffering, as well as the internet conection itself. If you have 250Mbps (capital M) consistently then you can be pretty sure it's not the internet connection.
  2. Those are for the railway line crossing and positioned after the 3240 crosses each respective lane of the Railway Road. If they were to stop traffic as you imply they would be positioned before the junction. For all of the main junctions crossing the railway line road, the road to/from Sukhumvit has precedence. (The Khao Noi crossing is a bit confusing because there's an extra set of signs before the road Railway Road meaning no-one apparently has right of way, but nevertheless that's not the case here).
  3. The motor cyclist. The railway road has stop signs at these junctions.

  5. It's been mentioned either earlier in this thread or in a similar one that the bill mentioned in that article was prorogued in April of this year and will not be progressing any further. There's a replacement due to be pursued by the new Labour government but it's not had it's first reading yet.
  6. OP wants to send PHP. It's a bit convoluted but you can do this with Wise and fund the transfer using your BBL Debit Card. You need to set it up as another currency, eg USD, to PHP transfer then pay for it by card. It would be subject to overseas currency fees and possible cash advance fees so not recommended. It's a costly way to move funds out of a Thai bank using Wise which many say is impossible.
  7. Scroll down to the post by Samut Prakan Phil. https://x.com/JustMikeMcKay/status/1863119236945834493
  8. Runours on the internet they've gone bust and laid off most of their staff.
  9. Friday wasn't November 30th.
  10. Most (all?) Bangkok Bank ATMS will not dispense 50,000 THB in one transaction. They are physically restricted to either 25,000 or 30,000 THB.
  11. You run the risk of not getting on your flight as 30th December to 28th February is 61 days. 2 in December 31 in January 28 in February However, if your trip to Cambodia is booked you may be able to use it as proof of onward travel, and to answer your question, yes you'll get a new 60 day stamp on your return.
  12. AIS and dtac/True have esims available on their websites.
  13. https://mrtpattayataxi.com/
  14. The UK/Philippines reciprocal agreement which covers pensions does not cover medical treatment. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/living-in-the-philippines#healthcare-in-the-philippines
  15. I think after almost 19 years the OP has probably found a solution.
  16. He'll still have $5 billion in the bank if it goes to zero. Will you?
  17. Do you just make all this up? (rhetorical question). Source Hansard (again) https://hansard.parliament.uk/lords/2003-10-22/debates/951629a8-94de-4831-b7d5-da341092ec67/StatePensionArrangementsWithThePhilippines Filipino nurses have been coming here for much longer. Source: https://www.theguardian.com/society/2023/jun/25/exhibition-celebrates-untold-stories-of-filipino-nurses-in-nhs Again, I'm not saying it's a fact but it's a theory that makes some sense when you look at the data rather then read your odd musings.
  18. What are you on about? The agreement is a matter of record, made into law years ago. I was responding to oxo1947 who asked if anyone knew the reason(s) for this being in place. I mentioned I didn't know the accuracy of this potential reason, but given that the purpose of these agreements is as below, it seems a valid reason, but again I don't know this, just read it somewhere in the past. Source Hansard https://hansard.parliament.uk/Commons/2002-05-16/debates/ca3d00e4-fa43-4893-9c6a-c72ed71a4ea7/InternationalSocialSecurityAgreements
  19. But they would be less likely to head there without the agreement perhaps, if they are thinking of provision for their retirement years?
  20. You have a girlfriend? Wow.
  21. Can't vouch for it being true, but I read that the agreement with the Philippines was to keep the flow of healthcare staff from there to the UK sweet as the UK system would collapse without them.
  22. There is something wrong, even if it's designed to be like that. If you click on a topic from the "Topics" box in the sidebar it takes you to the first post, even if the thread is years old. If you click on a topic in the "Latest Topics" or "Popular in the Pub" box it takes you to the last post even if there are several new posts since you last read it. If you click on a topic in the "Popular Now", "Top News Stories", "General Topics" etc it takes you to new, unread posts. All of these ignore the setting mentioned which only affects threads in activity streams and when directly accessing topics from the individual sub-forums (can still use the blue dot if on a laptop or desktop). It appears from the multiple complaints that many users use these boxes to access content so personalisation should affect these too if you want to improve the user experience.
  23. That is over a year ago! Just looked at my previous reports and I successfully reported in December 2023 after being out of the country, but couldn't in June 2024. As I said, the rule changed late last year or early this year and you appear to have got in just before the change.
