I don't care what you think, or anybody's thoughts. It's what the Oz embassy will put in writing is what I would like to see. 

Wow, bit touchy, aren't we ? You come onto an open public forum & ask someone to get some info for you, as you won't - can't get it yourself. Giddyup offered a positive & accurate response. "I don't care what you think, or anybody's thoughts." great attitude you have !

Might I respectfully suggest your attitude & your "cleverman" handle are a bit out of sync.

No wonder you had a blue at the IO.

Yes, Yes, I know. Smart arse response on the way.

Two score year' ago, when I was 10, part of the curriculum for primary schools was a half day of "manual training" each week.  We piled onto a bus, with steel framed seats and no seatbelts, and travelled to the facility in a near constant swarm of seat swapping and acrobatics on the sharper corners.  In those pre-PC (in every sense of the word) days, girls went to a room where they were taught cooking and sewing, while the boys went to the workshop and did wood and metal work.  We'd happily hack, carve and gouge our way through chunks of wood and metal and end up taking some misshapen object d'art home to our mothers, who would say "oh, that's nice" before putting it somewhere as far from view as possible.  Preferably on the fire.  No special clothing, eye or hearing protection was supplied, the only rule was no open shoes - try dropping a hammer or chisel onto a pair of trainers and see how much protection they give.  Following class, it was fight your way back onto the bus, employing your newly constructed spice rack as a means of doing so via the heads of the less successful, ingratiate yourself with one of the girls who made the tastier morsels in cookery class, and try and stuff as much of it down your throat as possible on the trip back to school.

 

At the end of the school day I'd ride my bike the 10km back to our farm - with no helmet, get changed and help with the chores, which often involved the use of large pieces of machinery cunningly designed to randomly remove various limbs and appendages of the operator, and, if still alive and in one piece, would be tucked up in bed at 8 o'clock after being allowed to watch an hour of black and white television.  Now, try telling that to the young people of today, and they won't believe you.  Which, unlike the Monty Python sketch, is all the more shocking as it really is true.

Sounds like you think working a mobile phone requires similar dexterity as a power drill. You should get out more.

Sorry, but no consolation prize.

Just occured to me....maybe he's not Australian?....(a few of us aren't).

You think darts & pool only played in Australia ?  Maybe you should also get out & about a bit more.

I might add that the kid has a green shirt and is about 10 years old, I guess.

Maybe green shirt is a 35 year old midget.

Last time I went to Big C there were dart boards for sale in the kids toy section.  Why would you need a license to play with a toy that's for sale to kids?

 

 

Because... just read that post again.

Care to explain ? I don't get your comment, sorry.

This is a wind up,  right ?

One reason I live in a relatively inconspicuous city way off the tourist strip. Few larangs, westerners. If you want tourist places why not holiday at home.... wherever that may be.

Good, I am happy. There are too many bicycle lanes along with too many bus lanes all over the world. Most of the time they are unused. 

You don't get out & about much, do you ???

I appreciate      https://www.google.co.th/search?q=isaan+lawyers&oq=isaan+lawyers&aqs=chrome..69i57j0.13283j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8    are not in Ubon, however much can be conducted online. Sebastian & office staff speak fluent English. I've used them for making wills.

Hope this helps.

   Of course it will be , because when you find it, you dont look anywhere else

No shit, Sherlock !

Never heard of Sober October. I think you need a few additional vote choices. IE. Survey didn't relate to me as I didn't know about it. I read TV most days & am pretty much across most local gossip. Was the Sober October "thingy" only related to or advertised in Bangkok ?

If you feel that you need to cheat in a game, you are taking it too seriously. 

Others might think if you're not trying to cheat you're not really trying ???

How long until the Australian embassy's news flash ?

This week I emailed the Australian embassy & inquired about the continuation of witnessed Statutory Declarations re income. Their response was they have NO intention of ceasing the Statutory Declaration witnessing. But they made no comment if the Thai immigration office will accept said declaration as verification of income.

I feel it's still a "wait & see" exactly what the IO consider is verification. I "think"-"hope", statements from my Thai bank showing monthly income will suffice.

Interesting times ahead.

There is no nice way to break up, so get it over with. Any decent friends you have will understand and any that dont support you shouldnt be referred to as friends anyway.

That just about sums it up !

Thanks for that.
