  1. It was from a few years back 2020-21 - there was 3 series of 2-4 episodes, there was this series on BBC2, 24 hours in police custody on C4 and one on sky, that focused on Liverpool, all interesting - I was a little saddened at the outcome of S04, they got the bad guys for a long time, but the ending was a bit sad, you need to watch the final credits and do a google ..
  2. Just watching BBC2 The Detectives - Fighting Organised Crime looks like a good one. Filmed around Manchester, The last series was 2021. I noticed there was a new series (S04) last November. It took a little time to discover online as it seems to be mislabeled S01. The 3 files are suffixed, ‘taking down an OCG’
  3. I kind of sympathize, I don't share your opinion about the English language but isn't it time delivery drivers to a) Do their job! - Even my wife tells me how bored she is of it all. At least twice a day we get a phone call "Song Patsadou krup" - OK, send it to the house, just leave it at the door. "Baan You Nai?" - As the OP says, "I do my job.." why do these people not know their job, the address is on the parcel, I know Thai addresses are a little difficult, but why not try? Drive to the village and ask. Even when we tell these people, they often just ignore the clear directions and drive straight past. (before email, I used to deliver financial documents in London, I had addresses but I couldn't rock up to the front desk, I had to know where the goods entrance and post rooms were - any fool can drive a truck, not everyone can memorize the routes, accumulate local knowledge and build relationships with other drivers) b) Learn to speak to people - I have a regular lazada driver, and he's cool, he calls and tells me he is coming even tho' we are never at home. If I dont pickup then he doesnt keep on calling and calling. If it's after 6.00pm I will pickup and he asks me politely (In Thai) if I can wait until tomorrow. How many drivers call and just say "err .. err .." "Darling? Darling?" or "house Baan Baan house".. why not just speak in easy to understand Thai to everyone.
  4. I thought the series was slightly different, the Gary Oldman character didn’t feature so much, it was more about River. When Jackson Lamb did feature it was more about his cunning traps and out of character violence. i finished watching The Golden Hour @Mutt Daeng recommended it a while back, featuring Pencil from Mocro Maffia - I don’t know why i didn’t get round to downloading it before. I thought it was good, I managed to watch over 3 nights. Just started on an old series I had queued up - Guyana - about gold smuggling. https://m.imdb.com/title/tt5904172/
  5. Is there any replacement for the Haco plug? Something of similar quality? I have a stock of spares but its running low.
  6. I had a teachers job without a degree .. I was a long time trusted employee and the school and the agency I was working for helped me ( actually it was at a time when the government changed the rules so that the employer would be fined and not the employee ) Yeah, the WP was easy enough, I just presented all my education certificates, I was legally teaching (not a teaching assistant / librarian / foreign admin as some suggest, my WP was for a teacher ) the school were aware I was non-degree and it was fine. However, this doesn't give you any leverage with getting a teachers permit or waiver, which you need to get an 12 month extension of stay. Without your own non-O either ME or 12M you stand no chance with immigration unless your school / employer is well connected. Anyway, Off topic - If the OP has any kind of degree, it will get him teaching in Thailand, however he will need a teachers permit or waiver, without an Ed degree it will be a lot of further hard work after the waiver period has finished - not really worth the effort, financially to do this and then work in a government school. IMHO
  7. You dont need to send your Mac to an official center, the option is studio, which only do the repairs under the direction of apple. I have only had bad experiences with copper wired / istudio. Im not a fan of these guys that repair stuff in (tech) malls. To my mind, this guy is the best http://machomeservice.com - he's an ex-apple tech, from the days when there was only one Apple service center in the whole country situated in the carpark of carefour, Silom. The things I like about this guy is he will try and diagnose over the phone and give you a possible ball park figure, obviously he cant guarantee this, but its a good place to start. To me, this is always a good sign of a good tech that he has seen issues like this before. He speaks Thai in a clear and easy manner for westerners to comprehend. He uses LINE but he's happy to call you up on the phone and speak directly with the customer, I dont like speaking Thai on the phone but he makes things so simple. I think he speaks a little English. I just had an iPhone screen replaced in this place in Khon Kaen, https://www.macupstudio.com Seems quite a professional outfit, a lot of technicians and the correct equipment like a microscope outputting to a TV to show customers the issues, good dust extraction, space to repair computers - but annoyingly they were happier to ask my wife (who was stood next to me) questions about my phone even when she told the reception and the tech that I could speak Thai and to ask me directly. Both these places accept deliveries from Kerry, I have sent my MacBook to Machome twice and never an issue.
  8. How can it be the same as every year? It's a new initiative, it only started last year and reaches its goal in 2027. So that's 5 more years of dicking around on their phones, 5 more years of photo ops and they change the name from "Road Safety Master Plan" to something a little different. A cunning plan.
  9. Try googling the filename Arctic.Circle.S03.1080p.STAN.WEB-DL.DDP5.1.H.264-FLU Arctic.Circle.S03E01.Return.1080p.STAN.WEB DL.DDP5.1.H.264 FLUX.mkv
  10. How about Vigil? I seem to have missed S01, so started on that last night. And Arctic Circle or Ivalo S03 - I need to catch up on, dont know if its worth a look?
  11. We moved insurance companies after the first year of Toyota arranged insurance. The company wanted to come and inspect the vehicle - she walked up to the garage, said "as new" and walked away. I didn't over think it.
  12. Deca Zla or Children of Evil A Serbian mini series adaptation of a book. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt21987088/
  13. The BiB are often guilty of a lot of things, I find that when on the bike, without a helmet the roadblocks are for yabba dealers, when I’m out on the big bike with a loud pipe they might want to see a license, but often flipping the visor up will get me a pass (this has worked at roadblocks around Hat Yai to Hua Hin, in Hua Hin they want to see a license), and when out in the truck, they correctly presume that westerners have licenses and insurance, they check the road tax and give me a salute. Others experience may be different, especially in tourist areas but generally they don’t care.
  14. Keep an eye out for S11 of C4's 24 Hours in Police Custody the first episode (maybe a one off speaial) is called the siege, which aired last night.
  15. It must have been some keen uploader, the pack was deleted shortly after. I had some difficulty connnecting to iplayer before the weekend, everything seems good now. Sometimes I need to clear the browser cache and it's fine, sometimes I need to reboot the computer. I dont think you need to worry about the BBC tech guys, but there was defiantly something up, I know your DNS provider is good, (as I suggested it to you :) ) and I use PIA which I always rave about, just a little hiccup, happens sometimes. The wife is a bit of Liam Neeson fan, we watched In The Land Of Saints & Sinners last night. It got a 7.2 on IMDB so just about sneaked in there. I thought it was interesting, I liked the sets, Ireland in the 70s, the storyline was a bit predictable, the casting good - lots of the usual suspects when it comes to series / movies. There are no subtitles, but I let the wife just watch it anyway, she kept focus for the duration even tho' she hadn't a clue what was being said.
  16. Are you sorted yet? The whole series packs are available. All 6 episodes.
  17. We watched an Australian movie last night - Talk To Me Not really my thing, but the missus loved it - if you want a straightforward scary / ghost movie to watch with a Thai partner, not a bad choice.
  18. yes, I have a couple of proton accounts - I use one on my iPhone, in theory the app works well, but as you say, you get emails nagging you to buy the service. Then you need to subscribe to use their email bridge allowing you to use a mail client.
  19. Oh I see! One thing that I never did like about this series - the two hour episodes. I got bored and fell asleep in the middle. There were originally 4 episodes, CH4 split them in two. # Title Air Date Status 4 Old acquaintances Apr 20 2023 WEBDL-1080p 3 Points of view Apr 15 2023 WEBDL-1080p 2 Who leaves and who stays Apr 13 2023 WEBDL-1080p 1 The journey continues Apr 6 2023 WEBDL-1080p I have another recommendation from a torrent forum that I subscribe to Matroesjka's / Matrioshki / Russian Dolls from 2008
  20. @Will27 Channel 4 / Walter presents - Ice Cold Murders: Rocco Schiavone S05 Broadcast in Italy in April now with subtitles, just 4 episodes in the series. I love the backdrop to this show, awesome.
  21. I spent years playing around with these - every time I needed to print a worksheet for the kids bleeding the pipes, forgetting to put latex gloves on and teaching a lesson with inkstained fingers, paying out to get them fitted to new printers when the cartridges needed replacing, remembering to buy bottles of ink, staining floor tiles and desks with the ink - Such a great system. Then I discovered wifi laser printers and never looked back.
  22. Just DL a cracked version from the torrent sites. You might want to google this, which seems to be the latest. Microsoft Office 2021 Pro Plus v2308 Build 16731.20234.Multi.Win.x64.x86
  23. Fargo is back! I downloaded and started watching Criminal Code, all was looking promising, then I got to the end of what I thought was the first episode and it ended at some sentimental scene, I was wondering where could the show go from here? Then I realized I had just watched the final episode. Doh. Another show getting good reviews is Stan’s Scrublands Pacto De Sangre,a Mexican crime / drama / mystery may be worth a watch, not too sure yet.
  24. Yes .. what NVR software / system are you using? There are a few ways to remotely access your server. I use Cloudflare DDNS, cloudflare keeps a tab on my ip address - then I use NGINX proxy manager to safely manage the access. 3BB offer a DDNS service, but I have never used it. You could also look into wireguard to access your host computer. It's not really the CCTV app that does the work, it's accessing the server / computer that allows you access to the NVR / CCTV software. How many cameras do you have? If you only have need for a couple, why not use a system that uses the cloud, with live view via some app.
