  1. Tried chatting a friendly one up once a few years ago. She called something like, I got another one to the other girl, smile went and she got replaced by the other girl. I stopped going in ????
  2. Schools seem to be organised for the convenience of the staff rather than families
  3. Last time I went BA to UK sat at the back next to the galley, could hear one female aircrew slagging off various passengers, very professional! Would not go BA again if only to avoid terminal 5.
  4. EU law states you have a right to apply to the Embassy in person, they try to send you to VFS but if you stand your ground and show them a print out of the law they will give in. Did this at the Italian Embassy, well office.
  5. Billy the kid series was worth a watch, if not historically very accurate. Strange how westerns fell out of fashion, they were on TV all the time in the 60/70's
  6. He could not have, we use to watch this when working in IT support!
  7. Samut Prakan need 5 passport copies and a TM30 shown if you go in for a 90 day, or do it by post, do it on line and of course you don't need those! Years ago you did not need anything other than the form and one guy just ripped the bottom off with a ruler, then it got computerised and takes 20x longer.
  8. Having known 3 people in my younger years all heavy tokers who died of brain haemorrhages before the age of 50 there might be something in the physical effects as well.
  9. Think they were the first to do it in the 90's
  10. Checking flights to the UK and back I only see one leg possible on premium, the other is in economy. Quite expensive for one part of the trip
  11. More money than sense then ???? all you have to do is fill in name and address and a few other details
  12. Sounds like he's using an agent for an extension, usually from another province. So how would he fill in his address as he is living elsewhere.
  13. You don't have to be old or grumpy to see millions of stray dogs as a negative issue here. Crapping, barking and attacking people marks them out as vermin, anyone feeding these pests thinking they are doing good and feeling all rosey about it are delusional and part of the problem
  14. Samsung, why buy Chinese when you dont have to?
  15. My Mrs probably if I did not tidy up and chuck rubbish out when she is not looking. She's a teacher as well!
  16. The app is not defunct downloaded it again today and it shows all the previous details etc
  17. Having worked in that field it's spot on!
  18. Must use brave more, and safari then
  19. Never knew he was dead, thanks for the reminder ????
  20. The last notification was void anyway as left the country before it was due, she dropped asking for it the end, I think they were glad to get rid of me. ???? They certainly don't like their own rules being pointed out in black and white.
  21. That's me stumped then can't get the Krungsri banking app to work ????
  22. where do you get prompt pay from is it an app or does the bank set it up?
  23. True when my sister in law applied via exam they were told the pass mark to join the RTP was 400k, that was 14 years ago so probably more now!
  24. It appears some immigration offices just ignore changes to the rules which are a benefit to us and stick to old rules, while ignoring other new ones. Sometime ago the money in the bank period for a retirement extension was lowered from 3 to 2 months. I kept it at 3 not wanting to risk it but I recall a poster on here going in with 2 months in the bank and they told him it still had to be 3. Despite showing them the changed rule he got nowhere and no extension, he had to leave the country to get another visa and start all over again. Last year they would not give me a queue ticket without showing them a TM30 print out. Then last Sept they would not do a 90 day report as my TM30 was ‘not recent enough’ even by the old rules this was nonsense, not changed address or been out of the country for 2 years. In the end a supervisor dated and signed it for some unknown reason. This week went in to do an extension, TM30 needed, this time I pointed out the change in the rules I had printed out sent from a member on here stating I do not need one as not changed address and returned with the same visa and a re entry permit. At least she read the new rules from 2 years ago- then ignored it. Wanted 90 day report slip which I did on line, never been asked for that doing an extension so did not have it. They insisted in seeing my TM 30 report, showed them the App on the phone which clearly has my name and address on it. No good, have to see print out or do again- sent to another window. Show her the rule change, she says that does not matter still have to have a TM30. I did have an old print out from 2019, which did the trick so I got the extension. The point is why do they need a print out of address confirmation when they have had many documents with it on since? If things remain the same in another 5 years I will still have to be showing them a 2019 Tm30 print out when they will have had far more recent documents with the same info. Does anyone else go to an office this Tm30 obsession? On the plus side the fruit and veg market there is outstanding and low prices.
