  1. My mother told me always to walk facing the oncoming traffic. What did your mother tell you?
  2. That's what a year on Soi Bukhao will do to you🤔
  3. Many years ago I tried RFID on the BTS. That never worked for me then so how it would work now. If BTS didn't work how close to people have to be to read things? If worried have a couple of bank cards for different accounts and only carry one if on casual walkabout, say Walking Street.
  4. Teak Door (sod off Jeff) 😉
  5. Just wondering if your nephew is waiting for someone to offer him a job he will enjoy at a salary that he feels is commensurate with the time he believes he spent learning something useful?
  6. Well that is the question nobody seems to wish to ask. Did the women participate without their consent?
  7. Chicken Little is alive and well and living in the UK? Anyone anywhere living in a large conurbation is at risk of shortages if logistic systems fail. Could be farmers in France or truck drivers in the US?
  8. I'd say that if you haven't been paying in while away from UK then you probably have to pay in to "requalify". I do not believe that simply being British entitles one to the usual "being free at the point of use". What the period of absence or period of lapsed payment is I do not know?
  9. In Indonesia I was told , after fitting "carbon fibre" mirrors, that only girls use mirrors.
  10. Did the so called oppressed women refuse to take the money at the time? Asking for a friend.
  11. Like all creatures on the planet the purpose of life is to reproduce. Most aspects of life revolve around this. Even if we and society wish to deny it.
  12. I'm a victim? I missed out on the whole experience.
  13. If there is a moral here it is : Don't wait 16 years to adopt a child.
  14. You have enough time to get your new passport here in Thailand and visit immigration to get all this sorted before you leave. Why wait and complicate things. I believe it used to be the case you had to get a letter from the Embassy about the passport change. In my case my old passport, not Norwegian, was stamped by the issuer of the new passport here in Thailand stating that it has been superseded by the new passport #xxx1234 and that the old passport maybe used for the purpose of presenting any valid visa so that it maybe continued. I took both passports to local Imm and they stamped the new one that I had entered Thailand on the old passport and two "copy" stamps duplicating my last two entries to Thailand on the old passport. Maybe this happens all the time at the airport and the busy Imm officers know exactly what to do. I'm sure it will take time much to the chagrin of the people behind you in the queue.
  15. Met Police are nowhere near this. To controversial. They are letting county plod do their dirty work here.
  16. I think that depends whether you are working in a profit centred part of the operation or a cost centred part. Location also plays a role.
  17. Bottom line? You want government services/intervention then you need to pay taxes.
  18. VocalNeal replied to sometime's topic in General Topics
    For those square steel cage traps? Cheese filled hotdogs from 7-Eleven.
  19. I think they are keeping well clear. Andrew is probably a Mason?
  20. It is all this state-by-state nonsense. They had to invent Visa etc. to tie the whole thing together. At 25% interest of course. I have been to North America about 30 years ago. In Canada at the supermarket check out; if you paid by card they would ask do you need any cash? I didn't experience that in the US. In UK I experience getting cash at an ATM with no interest or other charges.
  21. A silly idea. Cost too much and risk getting a British Trump. If it works don't fix it.
  22. Takes the public gaze away from Starmer?
  23. I put a green rear light on my bike in Indonesia just because I could.
