  1. In the old days, before the internet, the old people had this now obsolete gadget called the telephone. It enabled you to speak to real human beings and get answers from employees actually in situ. Really amazing stuff. They also had this paper stuff called cash. It was universally recognised, required no confirmation and was exceedingly useful.

     

    Sigh, how primitive those long forgotten savages were.

  2. Reports so far indicate it will start from the day of application. This is against immigrations earlier announcement that all extensions would start on the 27th. This was said to avoid a last minute rush by people leaving it as late as possible.

     

    I was at Petchabuns immigration office last week and I was told the extension would be from the day of application . I strongly advise contacting your own local immigration for their line on this since they all seem to be a law unto themselves.

     

    Don't trust anything you read online. Best not to chance anything and go in person to inquire.

    I just read on another Thai English language news web site that according to a poll 71% of Thais agree with buying submarines ??? ... What on earth .... Not sure I can post a link to it here ... 

     

    That survey was conducted by the Nation newspaper. Not a rag currently in favor with the pro democracy students but naturally it is the one favored by the Navy.

    Um....That link seems to be from Tesco UK. Bit of a long drive from Petchabun.

     

    Used to have reasonable sausages in Petchabun Makro. Then God saw that I liked them and had them all withdrawn. He's got it in for me for some reason or other. Anything i discover and like soon gets discontinued.

     

    For a month or so my local Big C had the best multigrain unsliced  cottage loaf I have tasted anywhere...UK included. It was big and cost about 170 baht as I remember but a real treat. As soon as it was in stock I would buy 2 at a time and it sold out fast. God saw this and had it discontinued. Big C staff said it was because it was not popular ??!! Impossible since it sold out so fast.

     

    He must have sat on his cloud laughing his head off on that one.

    Not so hard to make homemade jam I guess if I wanted to, but as for OXO cubes and Branston go well it's got to be original, shame my Local Big C doesn't sell any hard cheese... can you believe that?

    Only that Sh*t sliced rubbish.

     

    Wow , that is grim. Our local Big C in an Amper of Petchabun does at least have the solid vintage chedder which is good. ( The solid Tasty stuff is best avoided , not much better than the slices )

    The more fun they are in bed, the worse trouble they are to live with.

    I've always found that to be true.

     

    And sadly , visa versa. Hard to find the Buddhist middle way , maybe with a negotiable percentage to the former would be ok.

     

    Bit like a racing car or bike. If you tweek for speed and acceleration , handling and reliability might suffer.

     

    If you tweek for economy you get a cheap but unexciting ride.

     

    Tough choices for blokes. Several bikes probably best option if you have deep pockets.

    Big chunks or small chunks ?

    Small but they have big. Name of seller is ' food variety '. Pages of foods from the UK.

     

    The Branston was in a 360g jar for 149 baht

     

    Cant post a link because the right click on my mouse is broken. Getting a new one this afternoon.

    Marmalade in Big C here is equivalent to a bar of gold !

    Robbers will be nicking that soon instead of hitting the bling shop !

     

    Try Lazada Thailand.  Just type in Marmalade and plenty of choice delivered to your door. 

     

    I just had some OXO cubes and a jar of Branston Pickle delivered. A little of what you fancy does you good.
