  1. Confusion....
  2. You're not a pensioner yet then.......
  3. There 'are' 5 Indians, the ring leaders, business owners, quite rightly in the headline..........
  4. It is done, but not completed............. ???? All good things come to those who wait...........
  5. Hang him high over a beer behind closed doors.......Well at least the lefties had just one thing to smile about....????
  6. I came across on Monday, at the bridge pickup, no problem, and the eVisa was a breeze....No queueing. Just take the evisa printout to the usual visa application window, they will do the stamp, think charged 100bht, then you walk straight out past everyone, just show the guy at the desk outside..
  7. You quoted my mum and dad knew things were improving, but you are saying the UK is poverty stricken, make up your mind chap.....
  8. I went to Savannakhet on Monday 20th, here are the facts, as has been some nonsense floating about.. I have been to Sav. Consulate probably 10/12 times over the years, (both venues), below is what "I" always take for a hassle free one minute with the officer, NOTHING HAS CHANGED for me. I can tell you that every time I have been to Sav. Consulate, nothing has ever been said to me except "Five Thousand Baht", because I have everything perfect and more. They always give me back one copy of marriage certificate and Kor Ror 2, they keep my pink ID card and yellow book copies. What I take.... 1. Completed form in block capitals, with 2 resent photos glued to the form. 2. Applicant's Passport, plus copy of main page. 3. Wife I.D. card copy. (front and back on one page). 4. Wife Blue house book, copy of 2 main pages (on one sheet). 5. Original marriage certificates (must have), for inspection, one copy of marriage certificate. 6. Kor Ror 2 , (one) 7. My Yellow house book copy of main pages. (If you haven't got one, it doesn't matter, I include it for that positive 'feel').???? Copy of my pink I.D. card. (Same as above). Everything above signed by whom it concerns. I take all the books and cards in my bag, just in case, I have seen folk turned away in the past, on Monday some were. (There is a print shop opposite the Consulate). No copy of wife's passport needed or asked for. No copy of Laos Visa or my eVisa needed or asked for. No financials asked for, the original marriage certificates are the key. I usually go there on a Wednesday, the best day, but this time I had to go on Monday, it was a nightmare, they were queueing out in the street and beyond, I got to see the immigration officer after 2.5 hours standing out in the sun, lucky I took an umbrella, the place was full of Russians buying Tourist visas..... We had a chat with the tuk tuk driver, he said the best days are Tuesday and Wednesday...So be warned, the Russians are coming...............???? If I have to go again, I will stay in Sav. the night before and get to the Consulate gate around 8/8.30, it opens at 9am and closes sharp at 11am, if you are late, or went for a quick beer, you will be told, tomorrow, I heard and saw that on Monday....The delay getting to Laos immigration is waiting for the bus to take you over the bridge, I got to the Thai Consulate at 9.30. ????
  9. I don't think you know anything, except excuses...........
  10. I had a 1964 MGB Roadster, it was a fun car, would have liked to have had a go of an MGB V8, or even an MGC............
  11. That's a cop out................ Factory management and decisions killed off the motor business, B.L. being no.1......
  12. Yes, they made engines under licence. In 1967 I was rebuilding a Mini, I was surprised that the timing chain I bought had made in Japan on the wrapper....
  13. Really, don't think we were alive at that time.....
  14. I thought the Spitfire GT6 was a cool looking ride, with a bit of pep....????
  15. More like, "How can we help these poor Russian deserters".......
  16. It happened to me.......
  17. At the mo it is 45+30 till end of the month, unless something changes. You can extend a visa exempt by 30 days, if visiting wife, you can apply for a 60 day extension after that, or near the end of that, she must attend with all the paperwork.
