  1. Hold on a minute, I still have a few years to go.
  2. I totally align with your dream, as you cannot grow rhubarb in Isaan.
  3. If I was you, I'd go on one of them high-end weight-loss health spa thingmabobs first, THEN I would roam the world, handing out fivers.
  4. If my memory serves me, only those who seize power via a coup appear to have the right to abrogate an existing charter. It's how they protect their arses. In a more democratic society (I know, I know), the public referendum to amend an existing charter is the only legal way. Anyway, the point here is to seek a public referendum to gauge if the great unwashed can be bothered even want to go down the rabbit-hole of constitutional change (again). Does anyone know the Thai vernacular that equates with 'rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic' ?
  5. Yes, pretty much the same result when you mistakenly select the "Extra Wash" button instead of the "Fast Rinse" button on a Bosch, front-loading washing machine.
  6. Pack in checked baggage, use the Green channel. Sorted.
  7. Had to fill out an entry/exit form entering land border from Nong Khai but nothing else. eVisa entry at Savanakhet late March 2023, small visa 'Entry Permission' sticker + entry and exit stamps.
  8. Thanks. I was asking if there was an additional sticker. The Laos eVisa has the postage stamp-sized visa sticker in addition to entry/exit stamps, as does Korea and Malaysia. But if there's no sticker at all for the Vietnam eVisa, even better!
  9. Unlike a hack where nefarious characters specifically steal personal banking info, there's a chance that your personal banking data has been 'scraped'. You tend to hear about the former, either via the media or from your bank, card company or the business that has been hacked. On the other hand, data 'scrapes' tend to gather a broader range of personal data, not specifically targeting banking info and appears to not set off alarms. Of course, some of that trove of data may have some banking information or can be matched up with something that has. I became aware of the difference a few years back when I learned via an IT-related website that LinkedIn and FaceBook (twice) had data scrapes. I am not a member of the FaceBook but LinkedIn did not advise their membership that this had happened. Furthermore, I asked a friend who is a FB user and he said he hadn't been notified by FB of any security or personal data issues either. I then used a web-based utility that checks if email addresses are secure or has been 'lifted' and linked to fraud and found that the email address I used as my LinkedIn login was red-flagged. After closing that email account and setting up new email accounts with a different ISP, I spent a few days purging online accounts that either used the dodgy email address for a login or were no longer being used. Bit of a ball-ache as the dodgy email address had been in use since Al Gore invented the internet.
  10. This 'on the ropes' riposte brought to you by @Wobblybob Don't worry, it is now eleven days since Mr Falter was not arrested for being Jewish, so your waining enthusiasm pretty much mirrors the declining media interest in this non-event.
  11. Dear @Eloquent pilgrim, Why should I apologize for the weak comprehension skills of you and your wokey ilk? Maybe you should have paid more attention in school? Best regards,
  12. Jesse Waters, the empty vessel trying to fill the vacuum on Fox after the departure of Tucker (who?) Here's his part in the latest Trumpian waste of taxpayers money. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/23/nyregion/trump-truth-social-fox-post-trial.html
  13. I have constantly referred to Mr. Falter by his name, and where did that get me? Talk about "Clutching at straws!", eh bob? So activists, "even Jewish activists" have the right to cause a breach of the peace? Excellent. Then we're agreed that the police have the right to arrest them, even the Jewish ones.
  14. I am wondering why you are recycling this 'openly Jewish' comment and the Prime Minister being appalled by it? We've all read it, we've all watched the videos (both versions) and there's nothing new.
  15. So the Prime Minister has expressed being appalled by the language used. So has pretty much everyone else, no? I am with the Met Commissioner's description of the words used by the police officer as being "clumsy". Nobody is denying what was said and what happened. Nobody.
  16. The police officer did call Mr Falter 'openly Jewish' and the Met have acknowledged that at least three times now. The police officer did say that if Mr Falter persisted in trying to push officers out of the way so he could cross through the protest march that he would be arrested. Can you get to the point? It's been ten days already.
