So you have a listing for the 2019 Tab S4 which is almost the same price as the Tab S7 Plus from 2020. Great job. Lol.

 

And I don't "argue" that the Tab S7 Plus is better than any Ipad. It is a fact. The Tab S7 Plus has an AMOLED screen, which the Ipad does not have. The Tab S7 Plus has a micro SD card slot for memory expansion, which the Ipads do not have. And it has a very fast, reliable and powerful chip which allows 4K graphics on an AMOLED screen, which is glorious btw.

 

It is actually quite relevant. In a previous post you suggest the OP should buy an expensive Ipad, however, if he were so inclined, he may as well spring top dollar for a better Samsung tablet.

 

If he prefers to buy a cheaper tablet then Samsung is also the better option, the Samsung A7 10.9 is very good, and the Tab S4 is superb.

Can you use a stylus on the S4? I was looking at the S5e but it doesn't support a stylus.The o p wrote that she wants to write on the iPad,I realise that it's not obvious what she means by that but I take it to be with a stylus.

Grand daughter says she needs an "IPad" that she can write on for her university course.

 

Maybe consider giving her a pen and paper .

The Samsung S7-5-6s all come with stylus,one other problem with Apple products is that you have to pay through the nose for any extras.Ipad mini or up to the 12 inch pro with 8gb memory and 1tb storage keyboard case and stylus plus headphones? The price will bring you out in hives.

I predict bars, places of entertainment, swimming pools, countries, borders, flights, etc. will be randomly opened/closed/cancelled with no notice for the next 5-10 years or longer, despite mandatory random experimental vaccinations every 6 months.

Book a holiday, expect your home country or the destination country to cancel it at random.

On holiday, expect your return home to be cancelled at random by the air company, or your home country.

 

Enjoy the rest of your life!

You forgot the two weeks quarantine,on arrival at both ends

What makes Cask Whisky an Attractive Investment?

 

Why, the number of people who think the #1 worst tasting liquor on the planet is something"good" to drink.

 

I challenge anyone to name a worse tasting liquor. 

 

Lao Khao is a delicate ambrosia compared to corn whiskey, ugh. ????

As it's advertising whisky I assume it means it's from Scotland not from the USA.

There's a powder you can get.I got it from the  supermarket by the bus station in Jomtien.it did the job no problem 

Just say "I have a visa" when you check in.

Your doctor is giving you incorrect information.

There is published scientific information in the Lancet and other medical journals that state quite clearly  that second time around Covid infection and Covid vaccine recipients who contract Covid have considerably less symptoms and discomfort from. and do not Need o be hospitalised. 
I also states that vaccinated people are less likely  by 95% to be carriers and spreaders of the virus, the proof of this is evident in the U.K. where some 60 million doses have been given and now the infection rate has gone from near 30,000 a day to some 2,000 and the death rate from 1,500 deaths each day to just two today.

The only uncertainty at this time is the Indian variant which is spreading quite quickly, however all of those infected are people who have not had the vaccine because they have refused it, some for religious reasons but mostly because they have read and believe the fake news spread by the ill informed idiot brigade.

Now you are giving false information about those infected with the Indian variant.Almost none of the people actually refused the vaccine,it wasn't offered,some had no access to the info because of language difficulties or no internet access,some had great difficulty getting to the vaccination centres and so on and on.You are just parroting the government's dis-information that the reason for the spread of the variant is all the public's fault and not because they failed to stop flights from India for 3 weeks.

Well as a minimum you would have to have had 10 qualifying years. So starting work in 1968 or before would thus make it possible, albeit at a reduced rate.

I get £50 a week,started work in 66 left in 77.living in the Netherlands I get the increase but I'm not sure how long that will last it's part of the withdrawal agreement.I would love to vote,being a life long labour voter and guardian reader with an annual Subscription! I might change the habit of a lifetime and vote green or libdem.Hopefully the greens,Lib-dems and labour will finally get their act together and stop dividing the opposition to the Tory's.One thing is for sure they will never get my vote.

Can you provide some links to evidence that they "stop" the spread?

 

There is no reliable evidence showing that there is any correlation between lockdowns and virus control.

 

If anything, they just slow, but don't reduce the spread thereby prolonging the issue.

It's a lot of stable doors being slammed when the horses are already in the next country.They lock down too late and not hard enough.They should have stopped all international travel,at the least all really non essential.

The more it spreads the more it mutates so slowing it down buys enough time to roll out the vaccines and that seems to be the only real solution so far.Even if it does mean a booster shot every year.

You should direct your question to Mr A.B.Johnson of downing Street London.He sold of what was left of the British Embassy in Bangkok,I believe they are now in two rooms and a broom cupboard in a cookie cutter office block off wireless road.

I don't believe it will end,always be variants,mutations.Covid will become like the annual flu,so get used to vaccinations every year,and lockdowns every time the virus pops up in some community.

That's why I won't be booking any flights untill I see how things pan out.Its being reported in the Dutch and UK media that flights and holidays will be more expensive than people expect.

Yes, and that trend has been reversed in 2014, when less and less Westerners came to Thailand, and streets started to fill with Chinese travellers.

 

The majority of Europeans have no clue where Thailand is on the map, they travel to Spain and Greece.

 

The only reason some of them went to Thailand before, is because airfares got ridiculously cheap, i.e 300-400 pounds/euro return, and hotels / food were also cheap. So they thought they could have a more exotic vacation at the same cost.

I visit Thailand to get a break from the northern European winter and can do it on a budget.

In reality it was the only place to go,then Cambodia opened up and was shut down again by the Chinese.

Vietnam is now an option but at my age breaking new ground is not something I really want to do.

It's going to take a lot to get me on an airplane or anywhere that people are crammed into tight spaces.

I speak as someone who is in quarantine at home with Covid, infected 10 days after my first vaccination.

I have not managed to save anything but I have some nice new rugs,table, chairs,network amplifier, vacuum cleaner,air fryer,Texel wool quilt and covers,and basically a new wardrobe.

If 90m arrive I won't be one of them,that's not sustainable in any way shape or form.You have all seen and experienced what 30m can do.

I got one in the supermarket at Central festival.

Okay, smokers had a year to quit and fatties had a year to shed weight since the pandemic started. I wonder how many did something about it.

When I wrote on a Thai based forum that guys should stop smoking and lose weight a year ago,I was shot down and had the p**s extracted.

Only allowed six months during one calendar year, so, six months Spain and six months somewhere else.

It's six months in the EU not individual countries.

Just seen a thing in the dirty mail about some old Brit radio DJs from the 50s,60s70s,seems there's a radio station called Boomradio or such like,some of you may like that! I'm of to slash my wrists after I use red hot pokers in my eyes.

I couldn't imagine life without Spotify.There's magic out there,sadly and predictably you won't find it on the BBC or any of the mainstream channels or in any hit parade.

Spotify, TuneIn radio or radio garden should be enough for most.Get yourself a network integrated amp/tuner I have a Marantz pm7000n cheaper options are available.

Modern? It's been around since I can remember. Yes, freshly mixed powdered is better of course. What's the oil for, seems pointless? I've never seen that done. 

Put a thin layer of oil on top keeps the air out and it helps with keeping it from drying out,and retaining strength,maybe! Works with lots of stuff Quacamol springs to mind.

In that case forget tepid Colman's and go for wasabi.

The wasabi paste and powders that you buy in supermarkets are mostly mustard and normal horseradish,they may contain 3% genuine wasabi root.

You get the same sinus blast that you get with Colman's only a lot cheaper.Get the powder just add water.Or get someone to bring some over.Mr Coleman said he became rich by what was left on the plate.

The Guardian's is free for all. They encourage people who can afford it to pay. And that model is very successful. They get enough money from people who want to pay and don't have to pay.

https://www.theguardian.com/media/2019/may/01/guardian-breaks-even-helped-by-success-of-supporter-strategy

I am one of those people who voluntary pay because I think it's important to support good and independent journalism.

And for the record: Yes, there are good and bad articles in the Guardian. But I don't know any other publisher with more good articles.

 

I also check Al Jazeera for news from another perspective. In the past their reports about Thai politics was often more accurate than any other international source which I read.

 

And let's not forget StickBoy for certain local news. He is well informed. 

The Guardian is owned by the Scott trust,that exists to maintain the editorial and financial independence of the Guardian.Take out a subscription costs about €70 a year about the price of a short time.Its needed more than ever.
