  1. More than 10 years ago my car was hit in the back while I was waiting at a traffic light.  Serious damage and I repair would take 6 weeks. In Europe my insurance company would provide me a leased car during the time needed for the repair. I had to rent a car at my own expensive although  I had comprehensive insurance.

    Does somebody know about a Thai insurance company which would have provided a leased car?

    "Brexit fallout dominates debate"

    Of course; they've lost a major backer, Europe's biggest military and the most logical, corporate-savvy voice of the EU. Well, that's what they get when they stick their nose into everything, stifle sovereignty and force millions of immigrants on them!

     

    Military issue : the UK remains like most of EU states a member of NATO

    Business and finance :  London will remain the financial capital of Europe

    European integration :  the EU will not loose a major backer but a major obstruction ...or are you too you to remember the Margaret Thatcher days?

    The usage you describe should not come to more than 1000B even if your landlord is charging more than the official domestic rate.

     

    I have my aircon on permanently, large TV, hifi, fridge/freezer, PC and other network devices on permanently, oven, washing machine, water heater etc etc and my bill varies between 1200 and 1800 at the official rate.

    I use the same appliances as you and I pay between 7000 and 8000 a month ....but my aircon is 30.000 BTU

    You can use income and cash in bank. Say your income showed  350,000 Baht you  have 50,000 baht in the bank that's sufficient. The cash doesn't have to stay in the bank for 3 months either. It can be in the bank for as little as a couple of days.

     

    I am not sure if the 50.000 just need to be a couple of days in the bank

    the reports on CNN by brain surgeon Dr Sanjay Gupta learned me that :

    - overdosis marijuana does not exist

    - the type used of medical purposes is really great stuff

    You can do the online report again. You will need to put your new entry date and arrival/departure card number on the report.

    From many sources, the ban was done not only because of drugs, but also because of Politic, and I tend to believe there is a lot of politics involved in this ban...

     

    Politics ?  The majority of decision makers in the IOC come from a large variety of nations (and their sport federations i.e. NOT politicians)

    In Wikipedia one can read :

    QUOTE

    With the intermixing of sports and politics, the body was originally conceived by International Olympic Committee (IOC) president Juan Antonio Samaranch to deal with disputes arising during the Olympics. It was established as part of the IOC in 1984.
     
    In 1994, a case decided by the CAS was appealed to the Federal Supreme Court of Switzerland, challenging CAS impartiality. The Swiss court ruled that the CAS was a true court of arbitration but drew attention to the numerous links between the CAS and the IOC.
     
    In response, the CAS underwent reforms to make itself more independent of the IOC, both organizationally and financially. The biggest change resulting from this reform was the creation of an "International Council of Arbitration for Sport" (ICAS) to look after the running and financing of the CAS, thereby taking the place of the IOC. As of 2004, most recent cases that were considered by the CAS dealt with transfer disputes within professional association football or with doping.

    You keep talking about the "key", but digital entitlement does not have a key, it is related to the hardware of the machine, and as such would be useless to anyone else.

     

    Where are the data for the Win 10 digital entitlement stored : I have a legit  Win 10 but if I need to do a fresh installation from a DVD (iso file burnt on DVD),  can I then also delete the mysterious "System Reserved Partition" without deleting the digital entitlement?

  9. a "honorary" consul has the same status as the honorary president of a football club ...but he can hang out at his office a sign board "Consulate of the UK"

    For several countries a honorary consul in Thailand is simply a Thai person with good local connections

    However some of those honorary consuls are doing very useful work to provide a liaison with their embassy in Bangkok to solve local issues involving citizens.

  10. I use since many years an electrical water cooker (brand name Philips Type HD 4391/B) / 220-240 V / 8.2 - 9.2 Amp

    Recently I noticed for the first time that when the cooker reaches boiling point that the two pins plugged into the outlet are so hot that I can barely touch them - even the electrical cable gets very warm

    Is this normal and if not what should I check?

  11. About 35 years ago I was flying with a small airplane in French Polynesia from Papeete to the remote island of Bora Bora.

    From the air I could see a small island (diameter more than 100 meter) of polystyrene floating in what is really a remote part of the Pacific Ocean.

    I guess that by now nearly all the oceans are polluted and that's why it is so difficult to find remains of crashed airplane floating with the garbage

    If the oceans are dying ... can mankind survive this?

  12. Can you restore the original Windows 7 and re-run the upgrade?

    Tiresome I know but probably the safest bet.

    But will Win 7 reactivate as he has changed the MB which I sincerely doubt.

    Question, does It also depends on which Win 7 he has, OEM or Retail.if it re-activates or not ?

    I think you're correct, but he he might be able to get a new Win 7 key if he calls them and explains the situation.

    Then he can reinstall 7 and do the upgrade.

    I did not succeed to call Microsoft Service at 02 236 6888 because they send you from one click to other : I have retail Win 7 but I am afraid with new motherboard it may be considered as a new PC

    However I followed recommendation by Rob13 and this seems to work ...but I need to have my PC several hours online to find out
