Aluminium and carbon fibre..................not much steel.

OK, weight is kind of important when it comes to keeping a 'Aluminium and carbon fibre' structure flying through the air at hundreds of miles an hour.

This is the whole point and nothing to do with obesity. Knowing an aircraft and loads exact weight will help with fuel efficiency, nothing more. I have been on numerous  short haul private charter flights and they always measure a pax weight with baggage with no discrimination assigned to manage costs.

Do let me know if anyone has an answer .. 

The third paragraph of the op literally explains the answer.

Considering who is on life support at the moment, a rather risky discussion.

Yes, you missed a lot, the lorry did not run over him, read the full OP

Don't believe everything you read. A wise man once said that.

Firefox has always been my main browser, it is so configurable to my requirements and today it runs so well. Brave crashed on my Win11 so thats gone - same happened to Opera - gone also and won't go back to either.

For ease of use Chrome and Edge are very slick on Win11, but I just use them when I am lazy. Firefox is brilliant.

I think the idea was targeted at a person who isn't already settled with a family for 19 years lol.

I've been invested in the stock market for the last 20 years, during which time I've made a lot of money, but not from trading. I have mutual funds my investment advisor put me in that I sell when I need money. I tried buying penny stocks on my own, but every one of them lost money,

There's investing like you appear to have done and there's trading. The latter can be very lucrative using price action with leverage if you care to spend the time looking into and studying it - many free resources online. The benefits are that you are entirely responsible for your own risks and rewards, there is no capital outlay like when starting a business and in your own case no need to speak! Not for everyone tho.

I had good root canal work done at LDC Nakhon Si Thammarat a few years ago, English speaking doctor. Very good. Probably changed now, must be similar dentists all over the south of the country in the big cities.

but was told by the city council that there was no accommodation available

Thanks for your interesting topic and I hope the visa extension works well for you. I am curious, not having been to UK so many many years, what is this city council accommodation you were hoping for - is this like a homeless peoples assistance?

I always thought one had to book in a hotel or bnb if one had no home to their name, but as you say you couldn't afford it?

Anyway best of luck.

4400 baht, that is about the same price as no brand name Chinese lenses.

Sounds like similar price. I don't have access to First Optic where I am. My lens were Zenni Blockz brand.

Shingrix is not yet registered for use here.

CM Mediclinic must somehow be planning in importing it themselves.

Is it common for clinics to offer medicines not registered for use by FDA? Google street view shows them as a small shop-house type building only in CM.

I asked CM Mediclinic about price and availability and they replied without price simply:

>Thank you for contacting CM Mediclinic.

>Shingrix vaccine will be available in October.

Not too dissimilar to Indian Space RO rocket debris on Australian shore a couple months ago. It's amazing in this day and age countries can set of space rockets and expect others to clean up after them when parts fall off back on earth.

Even if directed to doc check after que desk. #1-4.

ignore that. 

walk to L32.

I did that the year before. The queue desk#1-4 said I didn't need a queue# and to go straight to L1-32. But as soon as I got to L1-32 the IO said I must go to L1-27 for doc check first! So this year I went straight to L1-27 before anywhere else, and they were OK with that.

Only issue, once again there was no queuing system for L1-27 either so you have to stand mingling around the entrance also, unless like some who used an agent who did the standing around for you . So I without agent stood outside and shuffled in when it looked like a good moment. Overall I would say the online queuing and checking system is worse experience than last year but time taken was the same.

Which office was this?

The office in the thread subject title.

One thing I noticed when going with online booking this week to CW was the usual L1-32 counter was not being used as previously for onliners and I was sent to L1-35 which is also a queue ticket counter so you never know when you will get in with a 1 hour online booking window and no queue number. So I did the usual walk/barge in when others were being served and IO took my docs as I was on-time and served me next after she had completed current customers. Overall fast service, under 30 minutes, but queuing system not that clear.

Is that form printed front and back (one page) or requires 2 pages?  Thanks.

It came printed on both sides, one piece of paper.

A last thing for the day... Here's the PDF files of the four misc. Immigration rules/statements one-page sheets that BKK CW wants signed along with the various other retirement extension paperwork.

 

They're also typically available upon request in paper form from the Immigration Information counter just inside the main entrance of the BKK CW Immigration office area.

which is simply plain stupid, IMHO.

Exactly my point, so I would not be rushing to CW to do my extension this year on the off chance as in the op. Any changes to financials won't happen for years and years to come I expect and is not even something I would even worry about. Very useful report btw, I like reading them each year as you seem to go about 6 weeks before me!
