A very severe case of the idiots running the Asylum.

Hmmm... one last.

Remove the keyboard from the device manager and do a restart...

Thank you so much. Its not an obvious thing but on this occasion it worked. Thank you again.

Good point, I will give it a go.

Then the obvious - try to borrow a keyboard and see the result.

(Have you tried that already?)

I have used two other keyboards, one wired and one wireless. No joy unfortunately. Both of those keyboards are ok on the computers they came from.

Did you try reverting back to an earlier restore point?

(Do a backup of your documents before, for whatever it is worth)

Same as above, but thanks for the suggestion.

Just check if the keyboard language had changed. Try to put it back to normal. e.g. US International.

Thanks. Done all those but it just refuses to change.

Sort of off topic but computer nevertheless. I had to have Win 10 reinstalled about a month oga and everything was great for for about ten days. Then out of the blue the (at) that curly a won work and the apostrophe also stopped working. In fact the apostrophe now changes the language to Thai. It cant be the keyboard because two others produce the same result. Anyone got any ideas please.

More wishful thinking, or was it fortune telling? 

If it was fortune telling, who sold him the crystal ball?

If someone can explain me how a foreigner accused of murder on

a Thai woman, arrested and detained by the Thai police and after

that he had confessed to killing her, has managed to fly back to

his country ? It should be in a prison in Thailand waiting the trial

or i have missed something?

You haven't , but a lot of other people who should know better obviously have.

All pigs fed and ready to fly.

...and to think that the people who come up with these ridiculous suggestions are all getting paid for doing so...and some of them probably pretty well paid too.

What else can you expect? They get paid on productivity, the more <deleted> they produce the better paid they are.

Will you also let me count my dogs 7 days each year, and everyone else who keeps a dog. That's a lot of holidays. Now, what was that about work?? 

I sent a letter to UK 09/09/2020 via EMS. It is at present somewhere between Thailand and the UK, but the tracking doesn't show it as being in either. Thai Baht 109 which is reasonable.

Perhaps Dr. Yong thinks he is the reincarnation of Lilly the Pink?

Illegal

My quote was tongue in cheek, but yes illegal. However, there a few places in BKK which advertise the equipment for sale, and even on Lazada.

Home brew anyone??

For whom exactly?..the frozen one, obviously   And your definition of "fraud" if you could define it  Thank You

Wrongful or criminal deception intended to result in financial or personal gain. I think that about covers it?

They're only sent to pensioners living abroad, UK pensioners living in the UK never get them.

If you hadn't told them you were living overseas, you wouldn't be getting them either.

If one does as you suggest, by not informing the DWP you live abroad, you must by definition, be committing an act of fraud. I think we all know it is done by some, but if found out, it could be very expensive.

Why can't we just use the pink card? Took me 30 minutes to get mine and at no point did I speak.

 

Have never used it, as much use as a chocolate teapot.

Dont agree with you. I was stopped by the police. Asked for passport which i don't ever carry. Showed my pink ID card, which he looked at then returned it to me. He just turned away, not so much as a smile of thank you, not that I expected anything different.

I live in Hua Hin and it is very busy. 

 

especially on weekends. 

 

of course the businesses geared toward white foreign tourists are still slow but that is not what this story is about. 

What happened to your stay in BKK you so proudly boasting about?

Golf's pretty expensive, even at my up country 4 star place it runs to several thousand by the time you tip the caddy etc. I told them I would pay the 25000 annual fee but they said no, farang can not.

You're not going to tell us you were expecting a different answer, surely?
