  1. Only a couple or so a week, but the alert is really loud and disruptive. And from nobody I have ever had any contact with.
  2. How can I block all Line Voom messages? There's nothing in English about this that I can find, and the Thai stuff seems only to be about blocking individual accounts, not blocking all such messages. Thanks.
  3. Really? I didn't think a stroke was enough for him. He's more a "grab 'em by the pussy" type of guy.
  4. Sorry if this has been covered before (life's too short to read long threads), but I've contacted Krungsri asking what happens if I lose my 'phone abroad, or it breaks. The short answer is "you're <deleted>". You can't install the app on a new 'phone without going into a Krungsri branch, and you can't install the app on a second device as a backup.
  5. I was so looking forward to seeing a tank run over Trump's Tesla at the Trump birthday parade on Saturday. Now it looks like it's going to be rained off. Pity.
  6. Just watched The Daily Show on Trump's appearance at Fort Bragg. Apparently the military audience was pre-screened to ensure that only Trump supporters were there to holler and gurn behind him. Oh, and no fat soldiers allowed. Potemkin villagers, anybody?
  7. Impossible, since GMail was only launched in 2004.
  8. This is a complete (but apparently common) misunderstanding. The tax is on income brought into the country. Income is things like interest on bank accounts, income from bonds and equities, and income from employment. See https://www.bangkokpost.com/business/general/3041421/new-approach-to-overseas-income-aims-to-spur-inflows#:~:text=He said the ministerial,gains%2C and other income.
  9. Tosh. I got my Hotmail email address before HoTMaiL was acquired by Microsoft, so that must have been in 1996/97. My email address matches my real name - no extra digits on the end. It signifies I was a very early adopter of web-based Email, and definitely tech-savvy. These days, however, I access it using a dedicated email client to manage my dozen or so accounts.
  10. You're misusing this type of configuration. The C drive is intended for the operating system and programs. The D drive is for user data. What @SMIAI originally suggested is absolutely the best way forward long term. Unless you're an expert, don't try extending the C drive (a process known as repartitioning) - you run a serious risk of losing everything, operating system, programs and user data.
  11. Jersey aren't members of the Universal Postal Union which can cause problems with interchanges to other countries. For example, it's not possible to send EMS mail from Thailand to the Channel Islands.
  12. And, of course, the partner now inherits nothing. Sad. I hope the UK relatives do the right thing.
  13. The opposite of pride? Shame. Gay people in the West had to hide their sexuality for fear of persecution and prosecution. Even today prejudice and discrimination are rife. That's enough to make gay men and women feel ashamed of their sexuality. The "whole pride thing" is an attempt, partially, to address the shame.
  14. The product of autocorrect.
  15. Is it just me, or has there recently been a massive surge in sexy ladies inviting me to do naughty things with them? It's gone from a few a week to a hundred or more a day over the last week. Seems like a major failure of Hotmail's span filters. And since I'm married, these messages aren't of interest to me, so if anybody is looking to meet some sexy women let me know you're email address, and I'll happily forward them to you.
  16. I subscribe to a fortnightly periodical from the UK. I regularly get them arriving in pairs, the earlier issue having been held up for 14 days longer than the other. No idea what's happening there.
  17. There's a rather clearer account of the proposed changes in today's Bangkok Post.
  18. Wrong way around. Trump is Putin's poodle. Precisely what it is that Putin has over Trump isn't clear. Maybe the pee pee tape. Maybe something else. But Trump is completely beholden to Putin.
  19. Not claimed - at least not claimed correctly. Banks provide summary information only.
  20. If by that you mean make the drivers polite, not have body odour, never refuse a reasonable fare, don't take a long diversion to bump up the cost, keep the cabs clean and not stink of cigarette smoke, and don't drive drunk, then I'm all for it. Until then, I'm sticking with Grab.
  21. It 100% is worth it - provided you live long enough to take four years of pension. The payback period is just over three years - one of the best investments you can make.
  22. Go to your local fresh market at 4 a.m. and they should have pork intestines. You'll then need to spend a few hours washing them out (unless you like your sausages to be redolent of the farm).
  23. It does take hours if you don't live near there and include the time to get there and back.
