This has happened to me once or twice (on trains in Europe) and I was a bit chagrined that this attractive young lady thought I was old and/or disabled - but I took the seat anyway.

ONly if he was falling from the Moon with one-sixth of Earths gravity. s=1/2at[squared] distance is 1200 metres, acceleration is 10 m/s/s so approx sixteen seconds. Still time to have second thoughts there.

Sorry is tis one of those plastic sex dolls? They've come a long way since my day!

My wife bought a treadmill thingie - never uses it - so almost brand new.

I just checked my initial policy (Pacific Cross) and it says : Waiting Period (s): Investigation and treatment of cataracts and their complications are not covered for a period of 2 years, then reassess. This waiting period can be reassessed earlier upon provision of a recent eye exam by a qualified ophthalmologist.

Just watched Black Mirror Season 6 - excellent

Chiang Mai has a GOVERNOR? I thought they used a cardboard cut-out ????

EVERYBODY KNOWS in Switzerland all crime is done by foreigners. That's why 71% of people in jail in Switzerland are not Swiss. And to be honest if you live near France (e.g. Geneva) French (pesky foreigners) do the majority of burglaries (at least according to local folklore). They nip over the border at night, do their pesky crimes and nip back. So it is said.

Don't know what was in that link (stupid of me not to check) but it started talking in a funny language ???? and the resturant is in Chiang RAI not MAI! Which was in the original post and I again (stupidly) did not check. My apologies. So there is life in Chiang Rai then?

I have two laptops (apart from my work one) and they are both over ten years old, and still working. Windows 10 (they can't do 11)

Er - slight technical difficulty - if you flying into CNX after arriving from international flight to BKK (Suvarnabhumi I can't speak for Don Muang) then you go through immigration in BANGKOK - that has been my experience for the last several years. Only DIRECT int'l flights go through CNX immigration.

One or two....

Hang Dong - centre of the Universe. We have our own shopping centre here called Kad Falang!

Well lashing worked for Roya Navy sailors - that and rum, according to Winston Churchill. Plus something else we're not allowed to mention.

Good luck! Many years I knew somebody who opened a coffee/cake shop next to a book shop in Chiang Mai but that seemed to disappear. Here's hoping you have more success. P.S. could not read the small print in your post but I'm sure it was all useful info.

For verification Google (Gmail) have got my phone number - for two-step authentication stuff. At the time it was optional (they also have a bunch of devices I use in their list) but I went for it. I don't get spam marketing calls on it so I assume Google didn't sell it on. Doesn't worry me. If you can't trust Gmail who can you trust ???? NEVER had that. Just use password which is embedded in the Google saved passwords thing anyway.

Yep with his face covered with sun-glasses and a mask he certainly looked frail, the poor lamb. My heart goes out to him.

I remember in the early eighties being in Bangkok in May - and the roads were flooded. As somebody pointed out - nothing new. Sea level rise is currently metres per millenia. And filling in all the canals to make roads was not such a smart idea......

"Elderly Man" 65 is not elderly.

I was wondering where I left that.....

No! Never! What an idea! ???? Who would ever have thought that! etc..etc.., I am FULLY aware of that but want the money paid into a UK GBP account.

Thank God it's arrived - I'm lost without this mag, I have no idea what to do with my lifestyle until it tells me what to do

With Silver class Royal Orchid you get 40kg - might be cheaper to pay for the upgrade in Air miles (if it is possible, sorry I don't know) cheaper than the 10kg would cost? I was going to suggest Biz/1st class but I imagine those fares are so astronomical so would wipe out any savings - might be a pleasant flight though ????

As pointed out in a previous post, our "Proof of Life" letters from a pension provider have not been received for a few years now (new postie?) Previously they would send me an email but this year seem to have given up and the first I knew was when the payment was stopped. I phoned them, explained the situtation AGAIN and asked if they could email us instead. "We're not really setup for that 21st century stuff" was the reply. I said I will keep a copy of the blank cert and email it every January which they agreed was for the best. I looked into getting a PO box in our local Post Office (Hang Dong) but was told they had none available. I'll try again.

The health-care I received as an OUT-patient in Singapore was excellent. And reasonably priced...........
