  1. Think about it from her point of view. It is HER body, and HER choice. If you support her decision, good for you.
  2. No I haven't but in the first year of my extension I had a 3 hour and 185 km journey each way to Mae Sot. The next year Nakhon Sawan Immigration opened which was only a 2 hour journey and 130 km each way. Several years later Kamphaeng Phet Immigration opened which is only 70 km and just over 1 hour each way. KPP Immigration office has moved location 4 times since then. Oddly enough through all the IO offices since 2009 I have not whined or complained once. How about you?
  3. In my early years with the RAF I served with the last of the National service conscripts. During training, my maths instructor was a qualified chartered accountant. He was offered a short service commission as an officer, but turned it down as he would have had to sign up for 4 or 5 years, He explained that he could make far more money as a chartered accountant (his job was kept open for him for the duration of his National Service) than he would if he had taken the commission and he would also have lost his job. As for drivers being unaware of road closures, (if the government had posted warning notices (apparently they did so), then it was the drivers problem and not the governments.
  4. At the Immigration office in Kamphaeng Phet, if you get there before 10am you are usually their only customer, and it takes between 5 and 10 minutes. It is about a 1 hour drive each way. My wife is my driver and we usually combine it with a bulk shop in the city. So easy. We go 4 times a year, 3 times for a 90 report and the fourth to combine the 90 report and the annual extension. The op seems to find the hardest way to do things. IMO simply to find something to whine and complain about.
  5. No, London, England is in the UK. The UK is no longer a member of the EU since 2016, and the UK is not physically attached to Europe, as the English Channel and the North Sea divide both lands. Perhaps you failed geography and politics. BTW I successfully quit smoking in (for the 5th time) in 1970 whilst I was working in Singapore.
  6. National service was abolished in the UK in 1960. BTW, doing jail time gives you a criminal record and screws up your credit rating if you need credit/debit cards.
  7. There seems to be quite a few of them on AN nowadays.
  8. For me, if I won, I would sign the back along with my wife, (video is something I had not thought about, but it is a good idea) and get her to claim the prize, She would get 50%, as I would get 50% if she won.
  9. What a wonderful thing proof is. Do you have any? BTW, unless London has left the UK. it wasn't in Europe the last time I looked. Also "we" is plural, and I don't remember asking you to speak for me, or speak for anybody else for that matter.
  10. You must be too young to remember conscription or national service then.
  11. Does it really matter when you lose your assets? After all, you can't take them with you when you die anyway.
  12. You seem to think that sex is the be all and end all of life. So what do you do, when you are not having sex with various different partners?
  13. So what? Millions of soldiers, sailors and airmen have died in wars across the world since 1914 yet they are still shown respect on Remembrance Sunday every year in London where parts of the cities roads are shut down every year.
  14. Critics, (possibly concerned netizens) should wind their necks in and show some more respect. Whilst I agree with your response, quote "Up yours the critics! (from a country bumpkin)" I think that your comment is mild compared to the one I would like to have made which may well have given me a long holiday from the forum. (from another country bumpkin)
  15. Did it occur to you, that women might think the same about you?
  16. What power would that be, and why would you need to have it?
  17. Actually it isn't that hard to understand at all. Where do you get your credible news from? If the BBC News is no longer credible as the OP claims, it certainly didn't happen overnight yet the 2 people that claim it is correct are both former members of the BBC News. Was it happening on their watch, and if it was, why didn't they take steps to stop it?
  18. The offer may only be at a limited number of stores where it was over ordered and not at all Makro's.
  19. AFAIR jellyfish have no teeth, so they will sting you. Large fish OTOH (sharks etc) have teeth and can bite you. I do agree about the nasty bite.
  20. Does anybody know where I can order western style sausage mix and hog casings in Thailand and get them sent to rural Thailand?
  21. However the Chinese shipbuilders cannot meet the original specs of a German made engine but have offered an untried Chinese engine instead. If they cannot fulfil the original spec in the the original contract, then the contract should be cancelled and the Chinese shipyard should accept the losses.
  22. A simpler approach might be to give each individual journalist the freedom of choice, with a caveat that they cannot complain what other journalists choice is.
