Keeps

I've always known them as 'Thrupenny Bits' although I was only 3 years old when this coin was withdrawn from circulation in 1971.

We are at the stage where she giggles if she happens to accidentally fart in front of me whereas previously, she was absolutely mortified.

If they did that I wouldn't be pulling in the 8-10% dividend yields I currently get from my tobacco company holdings.....

Perhaps he charges 500 baht for a bowl of chicken noodle soup.....

They are actually one and the same:- "Walkers is the brand name used in the UK and Ireland, while Lays is the brand name used in most other countries around the world, including the United States, Canada, and Australia.

I am on AIS pay as you go. I use it to make a 20-30 minute call periodically to an elderly relative in the UK. I just type in 00344 then drop the zero(0) and enter the rest of the landline number I am calling. This type of call usually costs me around 80-100 baht. No subscribing to a new package or anything. I would make sure you have sufficient credit on your phone as you are no doubt well aware of how long you can be left hanging on trying to contact a financial institution in the UK. If you do go the free trial route with mytello I would check whether the length of call is restricted. You don't want to be hanging on and then cut off when your free minutes expire.

£5 per can. Think I'll swerve that one....

I stay there from time to time (first time over 20 years ago). It's in a great spot within Lamai. Right on the beach and in the centre of town but quiet enough at night. Lovely strip of beach and the resort's own restaurant is pretty decent. They do a very good Larb Moo Tod. Plenty of other restaurants within a 10 minute stroll, both on the beach and on the main drag through the centre of town. The Hive resort (was previously Wanta) which is 2 minutes away from Lamai Inn 99 is ok aswell.

This seems to be a similar thread from a couple of years ago:- https://aseannow.com/topic/1227601-calling-a-uk-landline-from-thailand/

I always use 00344 calling a UK landline from Thailand on AIS network. Works out about 4 or 5 baht per minute. Might be better options available but this one works for me. People will suggest Skype etc but I am replying with a solution to the scenario you have outlined.

I am a Star Alliance Gold card member, originally from joining the EVA Air Evergreen Rewards program. I think the membership program is excellent. I fly EVA 3 or 4 times per year on the LHR-BKK-LHR route. I accumulate a lot of miles and also get them boosted by my membership tier level. I regularly use miles to upgrade cabin class. This is normally instant although there has been the odd occasion when I have been placed on a waiting list. However, I have never been refused the upgrade. I have just redeemed 35,000 points to upgrade from Premium Economy to Royal Laurel class on the BKK-LHR leg of a return journey in March next year. When booking the original flight, I had to pay around £100 more for a booking class which allowed points redemption. The price difference between cabin classes would have been in excess of £1,000. The one element I find pretty poor is when you redeem points against flight cost. For the 35,000 points I redeemed I would have only got maybe, £200 off the flight cost. All in all I find it to be a worthwhile program. Points aside, the tier level provides priority check-in, priority boarding, priority baggage service and lounge access.

The thing that annoys me the most is when somebody comes up with a whole list of things that annoy them despite the original post clearly stating that they can mention only one thing....555

This is a good website to see if your email address appears in a data breach. Strange name for the website but it is legit. My own email address has appeared in 7 data breaches over the last few years. Never suffered any financial loss - just was receiving a great deal of spam emails for a period after each breach. https://haveibeenpwned.com/

I knew exactly what you meant as soon as I read your original post. I also knew that others would take delight in pointing out the ambiguity of your post. One in particular rarely adds anything of value to a topic but takes great delight in pointing out others errors.

He should have taken Bart Simpson's advice:- "Don't Have a Cow, Man!"

Perhaps they had 'a beef' and met up to sort it out.

Every chance that was down to the price he quoted them rather than them feeling sympathy towards the two Thai ladies. Hope I'm wrong though.

Clearly not, based on this retort.

I think it is due to him being ripped to shreds on his 7/11 thread he has going. He has the hump and has decided to take it out on you.

Luckily, they seem to have it most days in my local 7/11 so I buy a couple at at time and freeze one. It really is rather good as a snack at that price. My local 7/11 also does a sliced yellow (turmeric?) chicken on curried rice. The two together make a substantial, tasty meal for around 150 baht. I also find the 7/11 Khao Soi to be passable. Again, handy to have one in the fridge for a rainy day or as a snack after a few beers.

Friend of mine was recently quoted 12k for a retirement extension and has all the necessary financials in place himself. He declined and did it himself.

When they do a stock take and eventually realise they are a burger short after reconciling stock against takings, someone will look through CCTV footage of every till to try and establish who missed scanning a 40 baht burger?

Can you clarify how a missing item (burger in this case) which has not been scanned can be linked to any particular cashier (assuming there are multiple tills being used and multiple cahiers using them). I am not being antagonistic, I am genuinely curious as to how this scenario can be linked to one particular cashier resulting in them and them alone having their wages docked for the error.

Pulcinella Da Stefano near Thapae Gate for Italian. Consistently high quality. https://pulcinellath.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Pulcinella-da-Stefano-menu-1.pdf Contrary to what Cameroni mentions above, I personally do not rate The Duke's pizza although I have enjoyed many other dishes I have tried from there.

On two recent non banking apps (NHS + one other) I have had the simple option of a tick box to designate my laptop as a trusted device. This appeared at log-in stage after entering the initial OTP. However, I do clear my cache/cookies fairly frequently and I do then have to go through the process again.
