  1. They should try appealing to his better nature. I remember watching a film based in Antartica where it worked for Mumble.
  2. Must be some very revealing notes in there, I wonder who is paying that to keep a lid on the revelations?
  3. Well we know he is being supported by Europe and the US to date, but what happens if Ukraine join NATO and there's further conflict.
  4. I worked for an organisation like this in the UK , paid out of local government funds. Meanwhile the local taxpayers were freezing to death due to the exorbitant local taxes. I left due to the my conscience not being able to work in an environment where people were paid £35k a year with no benefit to the people who were paying their salaries. Someone undertake this exercise in the UK please. Of course it will never happen because those at the top of these organisations just love their empires and even higher salaries.
  5. Most of my credit/debit cards require a 4 digit PIN. However at several locations I have encountered a problem whereby the transaction has required a 6 digit PIN. I make it clear that the card only requires 4 digits but he sales person doesn't understand the situation or how to resolve the issue. Any ideas would be welcome.....yeh OK , I'll pay cash. Seriously, do I type in space space 1234 or 1234 space space. To add to the confusion some of the transactions are completed without the PIN at one store (BigC) and require a PIN for a similar amount at another branch. One serious side affect of this is on trying multiple times to key in the PIN my card was blocked and it was like trying to break into my wife's nightie on an 'off' day to restore my credit.
  6. Just release the full moon dates to SAGA in the UK, that should take care of a good 15 million.
  7. And if you are 1 of those 20% then you don't 'wonder' for more than a second about the options. After that decision you (I) will never know which treatment would return the best outcome. I'll never know whether I should have opted for active surveilance or the other treatments, but I'll also never know if I escaped a painful and shortened life. The problem with 'going on with their normal lives' is like me, you take your health for granted and miss the opportunity to catch it early. I was fit as a butchers dog when my biopsy returned a Gleeson of 4+5. I had to make a quick decision and thankfully Siriraj in Bangkok had the equipment and experience to deal with it. Radiotherapy had some side affects that I could have lived without , but I'm here 18 months later and reasonably healthy. My s3x drive has diminished but I put that down to the female hormone injections...2 more to go and then I'm hopeful I'll be back in action.. There's a slight issue with bladder/bowel control, but certainly not requiring pads, mainly the interrupted sleep from multiple bathroom visits. Good luck to anyone suffering from this, hope it works out well for you.
  8. My sentiment too. Tax is not my strong point so I avoid it which helps the revenue department waisting time with me on the matter. I was intrigued by the acronym 'DTA' , so I asked Pim 'do you do DTA Pim' and her eyes lit up she said it was expensive but I'd enjoy it. Wow, 8 minutes later she was right. I'm a bit exhausted but I recommend it, try it guys.
  9. That was always my take on this. However I stayed at the Dusit Thani Ha Hin on my 70th..NO alcohol rule. As posted earlier I was going to stop overnight in Pattaya this Makha Bucha day so I emailed the Dusit Thani there and got the reply below. To make matters worse, my nearest mom&pop store won't sell on Buddha days either...and finally I don't own a pool ! Life sucks sometimes.
  10. I live in a factory built steel house supplied by SCG Heim from Japan, The walls are insulated and then clad with a reflective tile , the windows are double glazed and the whole thing comes as modules that are then attached on site. The units are places on a traditional footing which is 45 cm above ground level.
  11. Thanks for this, I was just about to book a night down in Pataya. Now onto the Ante/Post Meridiem issue, safer to label and describe it as 0001 after midnight on Tuesday to 2359 on Wednesday (give or take a minute or two.
  12. Tame. Wife wouldn't let me drive here for 5 years although I had 1 million miles on the clock in the UK, cars and LGV. Just stay off the road between 02:01 and 01:59 you'll be safe.
  13. or any of them ? Good news for (most of) the world. Still horrific for the families of the hostages.
  14. Unfortunately prostrate problems require me to have access to facilities at all times and I was disgusted to hear that a councillor (or some other representative) of a UK town council stated when questioned about closing facilities locally 'there is no legal obligation of us to provide bathroom facilities' For a supposedly 1st world country I find that appalling. I would have thought that it should be one of the first items on a list of provisions by a local authority.
  15. Any advice on a repair shop for a HiFi amp in the Nonthaburi area? Could also look at any area in NW Bangkok. Thanks in anticipation.
