Jethro Tull

Nice Kukri !

A familiar sight for many but home for a few days and i like it here.

Yes, season 2 follows on from where season 1 left off, season 3 has a new event to investigate but occasionally revisits the original storyline from seasons 1 and 2. I thought it was excellent, several suspects are created and keeps you guessing, as do the police, which one could have done the crime . An age old format of murder mysteries but done with the Brit style of small town crimes.

Exactly what I meant. According to some on here a month or two is no good you have to renew your dl in the window between when you get the 1 year extension stamp in your passport and the extension due date !! Sounds like a couple of IO’s are moving the goalposts, time will tell if the others follow suit !

So renew your extension so it shows over a year validity then go and renew your dl to get 5 years instead of 2 in the few days you have over a year extension validity ?? Still not getting it !

I know someone who lives out in the sticks and he did a “ home “ visit via video link to Sisaket immigration.

“ Most retirees renew early, so they hold over a year of validity at application “ Do they ? I thought most retirees renew shortly after expiration to get 6 years ??

I just binged Broadchurch ( with David Tennant and Olivia Coleman ). Not sure why i skipped this ( probably thought it was a Downton Abbey type of thing ) but it was excellent. Just started The Fall , Gillian Anderson of X-files fame stars as a promiscuous detective. Realised i had seen it before, when she got her kit off !, but am going to watch again as it gets good reviews and i can’t remember much more about it .

Many years ago. I had checked in, and was airside, for a flight from Jeddah to Heathrow when the flight was cancelled and an estimated 12 hours delay was announced. We were given the option to surrender our passport so we could return to Jeddah to spend the night in a nice hotel or spend 12 hours at the gate on those plastic chairs. Lots of opposition to handing over their passports but in the end around 50% took the hotel option. Seemed like a good decision and while there were a lot of angry voices about handing over their passport they were given a choice.

Again ?? Tell us more !

RIP Ozzy Thanks for the music and being part of my growing up.

Yup, have had home visits on retirement extensions, seems like it was a thing 3 or 4 years ago, but recently haven’t had any, thankfully.

I used Thai drivers license for proof of address earlier this year at BKK VFS.

Yeah, plenty of these on Lazada, Shoppee etc ( used to be, not sure if still have) usually sell for ridiculously low prices Usual scenario is they will show the correct amount of space and appear to work fine initially, then the files will start to overwrite and everything becomes corrupted. Best to bin them I would say .

My bank didn’t require anything from True, they already had my current phone number and were only interested in my new passport. Why would True want to change my sim yet retain the same number ?, i use an eSIM, seems like they are making work for themselves ? But then again, i was surprised when the bank changed my bank book for the passport number change ? But, i also found out that the bank uses a phone number for your account but you can have a different number linked to your bank card ! for a few years I was using the Lazada 1 year sims and changing the number at the ATM thinking it would change the number linked to my account also but no ! Something cropped up and i had to visit my bank branch to change the number linked to my account to my current number, strangely though they asked for no verification i only told them the number !! Both the bank system and mobile operator seem to place confusing systems in place but neither increase security?
