  1. I use the same private torrent and it downloads fast and safely. I also have 3 invites I could give away although I would want anyone that I give them to to obey the uploading rules to the letter.
  2. Thanks cdemundo but I already have one but find it helps a little but according to medical friends who know about these things the amount of oxygen produced tends to be heavily diluted unless of course you buy the very expensive ones which are indeed expensive. I have also used and indeed have the oxyplus ones sitting by my side but you cannot regulate the flow at all hence my going for what Ive just purchased.
  3. What absolute nonsense steven100, perhaps you might like to send me a cyanide pill and I’ll put myself out of YOUR misery. Now get back on with your life of misery and I’ll continue trying to get the best out of mine.
  4. Impulse, I’m buying it from an outlet that’s just a few minutes from home and they can also do the refills for me. It’s really just an experiment to see if it will benefit me when out and about, and if so then I can maybe go for a larger cylinder but also the main purpose is to give me breathing relief when I have just walked somewhere and end up gasping for breath.
  5. Thanks again guys, I perhaps should’ve added that the setup does come with a shoulder strap carrier bag and weighs a little over 4kg so perhaps when we hit those promised mid 40’s I’ll simply take it in the malls etc with me.
  6. I have severe breathing problems but do like to get out and about daily - problem being sometimes a few yards will give me issues and others I can manage a few hundred yards before needing a rest. I’ve just ordered a portable oxygen setup to take out in the car with us for use when we walk around the park or other places etc but generally don’t need if I’m going into a mall or cafe as cool and air conditioning certainly eases my breathing. In these instances I will leave the the oxygen cylinder in the car but with the steady rise in temperatures already are they quite safe to leave in the car without causing any issues?
  7. Whenever I contact Santander to transfer to Wise or just to check my accounts they always send me an sms to confirm it’s me if I use a vpn. If not on a vpn then I get connected with no problem so I assume they can detect if a vpn is being used and are just using extra security to check it’s me.
  8. We bought a new car for Christmas and had no interest whatsoever in buying an electric car and my Thai wife for whatever reason will not buy a Chinese one so plumped for a nice Honda ice.
  9. So now you want a refund . You are not a vendor and have a contract with the credit card company, for them to credit your account in the same way your vendor (hospital) was immediately credited , there is a process and the process takes time . Why does it take time? if I paid them immediately why can they not do likewise. I find your explanation unacceptable. There’s been occasions over the years when I get told we cannot repay you until the end of the month - I consider that simply hanging on to your money for the sake of it.
  10. Thanks for all the replies and suggestions, some food for thought. I did consider a rollator some months ago but went for a wheelchair instead but apart from the malls there are limited options for its use. Just like yesterday when visiting a new and still being finished floral park there was absolutely no sign of any facilities at all for anyone other than the fit and able. And is it just here in KPP that both Big C and Robinsons malls while being wheelchair friendly have no sitting areas whatsoever apart from the places to eat of which there are plenty, why not a few seats simply placed around the malls for those that need a rest occasionally.
  11. Totally agree sandyf, at my office last year the boss put a mark on our kr2 and said no longer need to renew every year just continue to use this one.
  12. I’m getting to the stage where getting out and about is very difficult, not a disability problem but a breathing one, some days I can walk a hundred yards before needing a rest and others ten steps sees me struggling. Slopes and steps are now my mortal enemy, I do have a wheelchair but there are many instances where a wheelchair is unable to be used such as today when visiting a newly opened floral park. Very uneven and soft ground simply not suitable but perhaps a walking stick might be of benefit. Any stick users offer any advice?
  13. Sadly one of my wife’s cousins is an early number in the statistics already, and yes alcohol was the culprit but luckily no one else was involved. Now we have around a 7 hour drive tomorrow to attend the cremation on Saturday and hopefully we won’t be added to the statistics.
  14. Actually I did Freddy, go back a few posts.
  15. Apologies for not saying where but the branch in Robinsons in Kamphaeng Phet. Still find it difficult to believe what he did for free.
  16. My current Ray Ban glasses are around 5 years old, top quality lens and my eyesight still excellent and no new prescription needed but yesterday noticed the plastic on the arms where it bends around the ears was breaking off and actually scratched my ear. So this morning into K Optics where my wife got excellent service when getting her first glasses a few months ago. Showed the boss my problem and he immediately started trying to find some plastic covers but couldn’t find any that would fit, so he sent his assistant into the back shop and a few minutes later he emerged with around a dozen complete sets of frames with me fully expecting the sales speel but to my surprise he started taking them all to pieces. He placed them all around my existing frames and asked which ones I liked, I chose a pair of arms, he then took my specs to pieces then sterilised all the old parts, put everything back together but with the new arms on them, told me to try and a perfect and comfortable fit. My wife asked how much to pay and he replied with no charge at all just pleased to help. Being there 2 of them and near lunchtime my wife gave them 100 baht each and thanked them profusely. We were there around 90 minutes and he still had to put all these other frames back together again. Excellent service and I know where I will go or recommend to others in the future.
  17. Let them go and simply don’t let them back, how difficult is it.
  18. Further to this topic, my wife has just received phone call from dealership saying car has arrived and what colour screen tints do we want to which my wife replies with the sensible ones and the next question was ”you now go find old monk to decide on what day you come to take car” So, I think the monk’s decision has more relevance to when we collect car than the registration date. Guess where we are going this morning and it’s not the dealership.
  19. We’re getting a new car for Christmas and told to expect it before the years end but a friend has told me not to take delivery until Jan 1st due to the car being considered a 2024 car rather than 2023 which can make a difference when selling on. Does it make much difference?
  20. Firstly I do have a sense of humour but I don’t suffer fools either if I’m wrong about something I apologise and get on with things. I’m my dealings with anything dated it has always been day month year (different order in some countries) with 4 digits for the year so 11/28 to me means 28th November.
  21. Not embarrassing at all, I simply read that as 28th November so those with small brains and probably other parts too and gigantic ego’s might simply point out what it means rather trying to belittle someone for a change.
  22. Around 3 weeks ago I received a posting from Wise inviting me to get one of their digital credit cards, as I no longer have a credit card I thought no harm in getting one, I applied and within a couple of minutes had a card attached to my Wise app. Had no immediate use for it until yesterday when something online caught my eye and decided to buy it with my new card. So went to look at my card and checked its details before using and was surprised to find it had already expired as the expiry date read 11/28, no year mentioned though. It seems quite ridiculous to me to supply credit cards with what seems to be a 2 week life or am I reading something incorrectly, has anybody else had the same issue as me. Since successfully applying for the card I have received at least 2 more invites to get my free card but don’t think I’ll be doing so again.
  23. I fully agree with stupidfarang, our office is probably a 25 minute drive away and along the main highway north and rarely is there anyone else in there. We simply combine it with going somewhere and stop there on the way.
  24. Just curious as to how many expats have wives/partners who go out to work. Does it bother you that they do, what do you do in their absence, do you feel lonely at all because of it or indeed do you welcome it to have time alone. My wife has her own business in a market and seemingly does quite well with it, she leaves home around 2:30-3pm and returns home between 8:30-9. We do whatever we want to do together in the mornings and early afternoon. She does take the occasional day off if we want to go somewhere special or out for dinner in the evenings. I’m well used to being on my own as in my working life my job took me away from home regularly and I had to spend a lot of time in my own so it doesn’t really bother me at all. Health issues prevents me from being to adventurous so apart from the occasional walk around our malls and having a coffee I’m happy to stay home and potter around in the garden or watch a movie that I want to watch. How do others pass the time?
