Things thai people do that make no sense
recom273 replied to angryguy's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Insisting they cancel swimming lessons because its raining. Also, another raining one I could never get my head around whilst working at a tec college .. "Teacher, we have to go home .. its raining" - Surely if its raining, you want to stay indoors and not chase off down the road on your motorbike? -
I just finished secrets we keep It began as a regular Nordic series, ended up in a pretty dark place. Well worth a wet Sunday aftenoons binge viewing.
-
I noticed a recommendation on a reddit sub - Maybe I missed this at the time, but it seems familiar - very slow, seems quite dated, 2016 - The night of Something new, a Danish mini series, Secrets We Keep There are two two-part specials for 24 hours .. first out now, second next Monday - The Butcher of Suburbia and Nightclub predator I thought Smoke got better in e02 The waterfront anyone?
-
I struggled through the first last night, time will tell. I searched Dennis Lehane, and a few reactions to yesterdays premiere didn't read so well.

It's not an issue to install and setup at all .. it's better suited to some kind of computer / server that you are running 24-7 with all your stored video files, coupled with a media player like plex / jellyfish / emby. But there are plenty of tutorials on YouTube, there is no issue with GitHub software, its just a repo. If you want to use usenet the *rr suite is ideal - you can use nzbget as your client - you will need an indexer, (which is like a torrent site, but for usenet) I have a drunken slug account, but never used it. Its a symbiotic affair - scene, group, whatever - usenet and torrent sites all contribute - the usenet will snatch uploads from torrent release groups within minutes, torrent indexers will auto upload scene and usenet uploads within minutes. For anyone who is interested - A new 24 hour in Police Custody airs on Sunday night. I don't seem to have much time at the moment, but I watched Squid Games S02, the S03 series appears next Saturday night and Nine Perfect Strangers S01, just a bit of a departure from the normal viewing,

Report Thailand to Reclassify Cannabis as Controlled Substance
recom273 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
That Thailand now seems well and truly planted on the bucket list for weed smoking chavs. You must be really living under a rock if you haven’t seen the videos of kids fighting in the street, they don’t seem to be the average pattaya retiree. Do you read the comments on social media? It’s ridiculous the constant stupid questions “my mates and me are coming to Thailand, we wanna get some a grade bud ..” Im just saying, there does seem to be an increase of hooliganism as you were asking about - believe it or not. -
Report Thailand to Reclassify Cannabis as Controlled Substance
recom273 replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
There does seem to have been an increase of videos of man bag carrying <deleted> behaving badly over the past six months. Thailand seems to be firmly planted on the chavs bucket list of places to visit, just as a weekend in an hostel in Amsterdam is. -
Now hang on there .. that doesnt fit the narrative! Perhaps people will now start to read the previous reports. A 2013 UK Home Office report on child sexual exploitation concluded that most child sex offenders are white men, reflecting the general UK population demographics. A 2020 independent review led by Professor Alexis Jay (who investigated the Rotherham case) reiterated that group-based exploitation is not confined to any one ethnic group and that most child sexual abuse is committed by individuals, not gangs. However, in certain towns (e.g., Rotherham, Rochdale, Telford), Asian-heritage grooming gangs were overrepresented in high-profile cases. While they are there, could someone ask Richard Tice to ask the guy sitting next to him, why when he was in the Conservative Party at the time, he did nothing?

I never tried those but I like Prime regular - they indeed also remind me of Tesco sausages too.

Report Debate Erupts Over Police Chase in Helmet Incident in Bangkok
recom273 replied to webfact's topic in Bangkok News
Couldn’t agree more - but it’s a mess. Trying to enforce a new directive overnight and what purpose does it actually serve. If they were serious about road safety then they should enforce the law all the time, impound the bike and fine the rider. The laws is fine until someone drops the franchise holder a small bribe to continue on their way, what does that solve? Police shouldn’t be touching riders or passengers - they have a database of registration, call to the house in the evening and fine the owner of the bike. Everything is so dramatic with these idiots. Surprised no one got shot in the back tbh. -
Doesn’t have to be new to get mentioned here! If it’s good it’s welcome. If, in your opinion it’s not so .. that’s just as valuable. You just confirmed what I saw in the trailer. Any thoughts on “stick” - seems OK, maybe not hilarious, just feel-good tv.
-
not really new - it ran from 2019 until 22. I never really bothered with it, looked a load of tosh to me.

I think the damage is done by whatever the mother, mamasan and the girls tell her, rather the number of clients. For example, I came across a guy who had to give his missus 1500B every time he had a jump, she wanted the cash to send home to her mum, she came from p2p and continued (1500 wasn’t enough, so she started on the free market too) I have had problems with my wife with other Thai people getting in her ear. Just stupid things, we changed our house number because it wasn’t lucky (ff..) we already had one house number, but when returning to the “farang” wife club with the news she was told that it was unlucky and she should pay 1000B to change it. “Dont tell your husband, he doesn’t have the money and will be angry” - yes, I don’t yet qualify for a fat pension like their husbands, but the cheek to say I would be angry, so she changed the number behind my back, and then told me the story of how she felt belittled by the group of ex-bg’s. We have been married for 20th ears, generally free from these situations, but there have been a couple of times like this over the past years since we moved back to Issan. Living in the south, she worked in a kindergarten, southern women tend not to see the bars as a quick way to make money, and her life was stable, being around normal working people. If people think you can take the bar out of a girl, then they must just be oblivious to the lies.

Not actually that costly - I dont know how that compares to making your own - but AAC blocks go up a lot faster. Instead of a sand mortar. they use a type of glue cement which you use very little of, The price of cement has gone up considerably, the price of sand is also adds up, although it is 600B / cu m. To get the benefits of the AAC you should only use a light skim of render, thats a premix bagged. We used red bricks in our bathrooms, it isnt even necessary, you can use AAC, but Thais believe that red bricks dont absorb (so much) water, they are better for holding sinks, etc (idk) but they are good for building shelves and alcoves, etc, also removing for floating shelves. - the bathrooms took forever, we had two different crews, one guy was really good, but you could see the difference with the second bricklayer. Its general consensus amongst expat homebuilders, that when you take in to account the speed which AAC can be laid, the price of the glue vs sand mortar, then the ease of render - the difference if negligible these days. I wouldn't like to say either way.

As a stand alone, Prowlarr has superseded jackett .. I think they all do the same thing tbh, but Prowlarr integrates with the rest of the *rr suite. For sure, there's enough to keep us busy, I just like that I dont have to think, its always there - in the future, we can use AI to keep an eye on this thread and just automatically add @Will27 suggestions to sonarr while we get on with doing other things. There is also another thing called recomendarr which uses a LLM to recommend content using your library and has trakt integration .. im quite excited by this kind of thing at present.
-
Yes - jackett is also part of the suite, but it’s a bit past it now with prowlarr taking its place. I guess you could automate a few things with rss feeds with qbit, but sonarr just makes things so easy - my workflow is come to AN, add everyone’s recommendations to sonarr, enjoy my day, turn on the TV, and the shows are on my media player or will be after airing.
-
Yes - Im another one for trakt, although it's a bit flakey, You are basically telling them you watch pirated content on your home media player, right? @Will27 The best thing I ever did was to set up *rr - sonarr, radarr, prowlarr - its an automated torrent / usenet downloader, you load your indexers (idk if its possible to use, but like RARBG, torrent galaxy) and it just goes out and snatches them for you. You can also search manually without going near those sites and their annoying popups. I think its not so difficult to setup on windows these days, its a bit tricky to run if you dont have a designated media server, like you need to keep some settings in check, else it will keep on downloading shows after you have deleted them, but well worth it. Is saves so much time, and makes everyones recommendations here really worthwhile.

I don't remember anything about s01 - but s02 of The Gold - a (docu-)drama about the Brinks-mat robbery starts on Monday - I don't remember a lot about it, but must have been half decent if it came up on my watch list.
-
I think Criminal Code S01 was well received here, A Brazilian police series You can find the first episode of the new series in the usual places.
-
I quite like Friends & Neighbours on AppleTV, the missus is also watching it, which is surprising. Does anyone else find the Stereophonics theme tune for Long Way Home, really annoying? She's signing along with it all day too. It's drilling my brain. Hopefully they will call it a day after this. The wife asked me what Charlie Boreman did, was he an actor? He hasn't acted for 20 years, I didnt know what the answer was.

That'll be because it was in Gaelic, maybe?

Thai financial advisor

Worth a try -
Thai financial advisor
recom273 replied to recom273's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
Thanks, I just sent them an email to clarify - this is interesting. What is the negative of doing this? If I transfer my pension to a fund that welcomes expats then I can manage any future investments, does the current pension stagnate? I had a couple of good meetings with some advisors today, they were quite honest in saying that the best way to proceed, if possible, is to basically do this yourself - do as @BritManToo first suggested, but they said this is becoming increasingly difficult to manage if you are a long term expat without property in the UK - as mentioned above by @PBob now the fund know I'm not in the UK I would need to jump through hoops to prove some kind of residency - the transfer cost would be comparable to a return flight to the UK, and time spent doing the legwork - I would also benefit from having a financial advisor to lay down the foundations for any future developments, for instance, inhertance. But thanks for the tip, It will be interesting to hear the reply.
