Now THAT is a stunning looking pussy!

Our 4 dogs all get Royal Canin Dry food twice daily. Not cheap, but premium dog food brands (such as Royal Canin or Hills) give definite benefits for dental health, skin and general health. The other benefit is that the better  quality feeds generally have less residue - meaning less landmines in the yard to clean up!  

I took my pink ID card , Passport & Bank book to my local Krungsri Bank a few days ago. In typical Thai style they took a myriad of photocopies - all of which I had to sign- and then took a few pics of my hansum face. The whole process took about 10 minutes.

My wife tells me I can do the facial recognition stuff online for my Kasikorn account.  I’ll report back on that in due course.

Sorry - attempted humour - it is an old Australian joke.  

“I am a country member” - responded by “oh yes - I remember”

I was a member of a lodge in the UK for many years. When I left the UK I became a country member of that lodge. 

 

 

Oh yes.   I remember.  555

Love the gun ????.    Installed one back in rural southern Australia before I moved here permanently. My wife and  I had no problems during the Covid induced toilet paper crisis - other than rectal freezing during the winter!!

Scatman John’s sister?

Agreed... somewhere in the middle would seem appropriate 

 

Without getting political... yes... a lot of tax is not paid in Thailand and a lot of money which should go into public funds ends up in pockets... 

 

 

And therein lies the basis of the problem - and many of the issues in the LOS - when we try to compare things with life in the ‘civilised’ West.

You should get the right answer here.  ????

My wife likes to buy gold from Aurora. (Actually she likes to buy gold from anywhere - lol)

We have  had no issues selling gold back to them - but there were 2 occasions where it took them 24 hours to reimburse money to wifes bank account. This was apparently because everything had to be organised by head office - and we don't live in Bangkok.

For variety and quality of product - Wife prefers 'Chin' gold

If this stalling event only happened on one occasion - and the car has been okay since then - I think you are worrying unnecessarily - possibly overreacting?

Enjoy your new car.

I need a stronger lens for my right eye - but was unable to configure this with Zenni when I ordered through them.    Have others managed to do this? Is there a work-around?   - or am I just weird?

I know what you mean - here are our scooters

I have recently started using a VPN (and switched on ‘cleanweb’) specifically for this site. It works very well to stop pop-ups and ads. Hallelujah.

However - many other sites I visit are slow to connect (or will not) - so I often have to pause the Surfing shark while I connect.   A small price to pay IMO.

In Australia in the 70s we thought the Brits killed their industry by producing rubbish quality cars. We had Leyland and morris vehicles . They were absolute <deleted>. Marina, and the locally engineered P76 - absolute cr#p.

I had a few British cars, triumph Herald - great to look at, but not a great driving experience (!) . Jensen interceptor - a brilliant car ruined by British electricals (Lucas) , & a Hillman Hunter Estate while working in the UK - more cr #p. The 79 3 door Range Rover I had was fun to drive -but crazy thirsty - but the torque body roll you got when you revved that insipid 3.5 V8 made you forgive it!

The quality & reliability of the vehicles made in the UK in the 70s and 80s was abysmal - and that led to their demise. After this the UK car industry was more construction , not design.

IMO the car is no longer a 'classic' car after the conversion.

It may be more user friendly, and 'modernised' - but it is no longer Original.

The value in a Classic Car is its' originality - its Pedigree.

I have looked at some Classics here in Thailand with a view to buying them - but then walked away after discovering the original engine has been replaced with a Toyota engine! If I opened the hood and saw an electric motor - I would run not walk!
