There are a lot of promotions on at the moment. I'm looking for something in the 13 inch range around 20 000. Any opinions on the Microsoft Surface notebooks?

A friend recently bought one. Down from 23 000 to 18000 Baht. He's really happy with it.

There's heaps of posts about them.

Season 14 of 24 Hours in Police Custody has just started. The first episode pretty much sums up the justice system I reckon.

You have to be inside Australia to apply/receive the pension.

Claremont: A killer Among us I remember this one well. Happened in my home state of Western Australia. Summary: When young women started going missing from the affluent Perth suburb of Claremont in the 1990s, it sent shockwaves throughout Australia. Sarah Spiers, 19, Jane Rimmer, 23, and Ciara Glennon, 27, went missing within less than two years of each other, launching Australia’s longest-running, biggest and most expensive manhunt. Spanning two decades, hundreds of potential suspects, and an investigation on up to 3,000 people, the ‘Claremont killer’ managed to hide in plain sight. 26 years after the first abduction, Paramount and Joined Up films have joined forces to bring two-part documentary, Claremont: A Killer Among Us, telling the inside story of the Claremont investigation right up to its dramatic conclusion.

Season 2 of the excellent Slow Horses starts this week.

Once eligible for online processing, he can do everything by post. No need to go to the Embassy at all.

Not sure what seems vague about it TBH. They're asking for the application and payment and then advise a waiting period. Maybe it's been brought in due to the huge backlog due to Covid. Emailing them wouldn't hurt I guess.

Are you sure about this? Seems a renewal can now be done online. https://thailand.embassy.gov.au/bkok/Mailed_in_passport_applications.html

Enjoying this one as well. Spector Summary: Through the lens of a notorious crime and the media hysteria following the case of Phil Spector, this major four-part documentary series uncovers the hidden layers to tell the story both of Lana Clarkson and the man who was convicted of her murder.

Italia '90: When Football Changed Forever Enjoying this one. Summary: The story of the World Cup that determined the future of English football - a watershed tournament for the team, fans, and the nation back home.

Dating Death True-crime film about Rodney Alcala, who is accused of killing 130 people and gained notoriety for appearing on a dating programe while on his shocking killing spree.

The OP has gotten his card back. I've had this happen to me a few times. There's usually a serial number on the ATM. You call the bank and they will hold the card for you when they come to check the machine. You need to bring your passport to pick it up. It's a pain in the <deleted> though.

Seriously doubt his TFN Will be available online on his bank account.

It also says "It depends on what you're after". They will still have your TFN on record. You will have to call them.

I think you're getting confused with the records that you have to keep. The ATO will have all of your details either online or on microfiche. You generally only get one TFN. You will need to phone them.

Would be interested to know if the ALO was called. In these situations, if the person is a minor and is travelling with an adult, they're usually given permission to board. In some cases, the Entry Operations Centre in Canberra is usually called for uplift approval. Very untidy methinks, both by the airport officer and the Embassy.

SAS Rogue Heroes This new one from the creator of Peaky Blinders is getting good reviews. Summary: The six-part drama is based on Ben Macintyre's SAS: Rogue Heroes book, which charts the creation of the famed Special Forces unit.

The Hunt for the World's End Killers Summary: Astonishing archive footage reveals how policing underwent a revolution throughout the decade, fuelled by advances in forensic science, DNA fingerprinting and information technology. The program also reveals how the FBI’s pioneering advances in forensic psychology led to hopes that psychological profiles of the World’s End killers could be created. Retired DCC Tom Wood reveals that he travelled to the FBI's headquarters with files on the unsolved murders from the late 70s in search of answers. In the late 80s, advances in DNA fingerprinting technology also brought hope to the detectives on the case. Some biological evidence had been discovered on Helen Scott’s coat, and forensic scientists succeeded in using it to obtain a clear DNA profile. However, when they tried to match it with existing DNA profiles held on police records across the UK, no match could be found. Through the 90s, further advances in forensic science meant that DNA analysis became both more sensitive and more effective. A reanalysis of the stain on Helen’s coat revealed that there was more than one person’s DNA present. This second sample was examined and matched to notorious sexual offender Angus Sinclair, who was serving two life sentences in Peterhead Prison. Investigators then desperately try and discover which other murders might have been committed by Sinclair, and this episode reveals how the first trial against Sinclair would go on to controversially collapse. It would take a change in the law and a new advance in forensic science to see him finally brought to justice. or the World's End Killers

A bit more info if possible. I assume the adult was trying to return to Oz for work and their child was refused because of an expired passport? If that's the case, that's unusual. Who actually refused the boarding? Was an Airport Liaision Officer called? If he has been to the Embassy already, why didn't they provide an emergency passport then?

If you arrive visa exempt, will it be easy to open a bank account?

The Fire Within Some amazing footage here. On June 3rd, 1991, Kyushu, Japan, a tsunami of ash and rock descended at over 100 mph from the peak of Mount Unzen consuming everything in its path.
