  1. Sorry , you can't say that now. The correct , inoffensive term is a kettle of ethnic diversity . You'll have the KCUK after you ( Kettle Council of the UK ) If you see a police car outside your house , now you know why. You brought it on yourself.
  2. Actually , I just googled this. Apparently Visa On Arrival ( VOA ) is only for 15 days and applies to 31 countries : https://www.thaiembassy.com/thailand-visa/visa-on-arrival What you should be getting / asking for is Visa Exemption , 60 days with possible 30 day extension https://washingtondc.thaiembassy.org/en/page/visaexempt-voajul2024 I guess the immigration officers at the airport know this and will not accidently ive you only 15 days.
  3. Thailand switching to all online visa applications. What could possibly go wrong ? Glad I won't be one of the guinea pigs helping them to sort out the gremlins and get their ducks in a row. Be a lot of people bypassing this and going for VOA then sorting things out in country.
  4. Not quite. ' Yum Nutella '
  5. I gave it already on the previous page
  6. Like this ?
  7. Do you mean combined vowels ? Because they do have combined consonants E.G กรอบ = crisp ความงาม = beauty There are a lot of confusing things in English
  8. And this is what ? Scotch mist ? Where do these strange media items come from saying that Putin wants all of Ukraine? They might have had some veracity at the start, but after two years and barely taking the east, it's IMO a nonsense to say that the plan is to take it all. It's just not logistically possible to do so, IMO. I suspect the western propaganda mill is at work. You actually might find it interesting since it mostly agrees with your viewpoint.
  9. My first Thai wife and step daughter were the same. They told me that at school the teacher would give them a list of numbers to write down , moving from left to right. They then had to add them up as the moved along the line. They got lost. I showed them how to add up and subtract using columns . They were dumbfounded ! It was like magic. They then spent an hour giving each other larger and larger numbers to add up and getting correct answers. They were really pleased with themselves and it really gave thir self confidence a boost.
  10. Ah....so you didn't bother watching the video then. He actually says that Putin does not want all of Ukraine. He said that land is not what Putin wants .....but you would know that had you watched it.
  11. Extremely difficult to make yourself . Takes hours . Requires the culinary skill and patience equal to beans on toast and just as yummy as an easy snack.
  12. The best of luck to you and your unit. It sounds really tough. I am sure you could all use a break from the front to get a rest and get cleaned up. Hope this can happen sometime soon.
  13. Interesting perspective on where things might go in 2025
  14. Meanwhile , the ministry of defense is considering the acquisition of 5000 exploding handbags for any future military operations , replacing the standard Mills grenade. The ministry has defended the eye raising purchase on the grounds that the bags are multi functional and can be used to store lose ammunition in addition to which the handles make it possible to hurl the bags much further. Moreover , in hand to hand close combat they can block bayonet thrusts and if full , deliver crushing blows to any enemy.
  15. Same happened to wife's friend yesterday. Hit by speeding sedan while crossing the road. Still alive but the prognosis for recovery is not good. These accidents are not uncommon but they don't all make the newspapers. Not by a long chalk.
  16. In a yurt in Fort Knox.
  17. It's all about the fine dining .
  18. I would like to point out that that was not my advice but the banks advice. I decided to ignore this and get myself a decent safe.
  19. I thought opening a joint account would solve this thorny issue of my wife being able to automatically access my funds should I die. That's when the bank said that from a legal standpoint ....not so. Probate first. that's when they made the ATM card suggestion and said ' who's to know ? This was at a BB branch. You know how it is here. A different branch might have told me something different. So now the bulk of the money is in a safe........sorted. Not like I'm losing much in iterest rates.
  20. If a foreigner dies their embassy has to be notified and there is of course an autopsy done by the relevant authorities. I understand your question and it is the same as the banks. Just don't tell us. I merely point out that although it might be possible it is not strictly legal.
  21. Obviously , people have been pulling a train there.
  22. You had better check on that with your bank, My bank told me that after death any joint account is locked until completion of probate. They also said that if my wife had my ATM card she could use that to withdraw the money providing they had not been notified of my death. I pointed out the illegality of this and they all just laughed. So, my solution is to keep a large part of the available money in a safe at home.
  23. Saying and being able to do are worlds apart. A few hundred , maybe . Millions ? ...I doubt it.
  24. Not to mention a few posters on AN that live in tiny worlds of their own.
