I remember a 'furlong' being used on one post here but I can't be arsed to go and find it. I do have a good memory though so you can add it to the collection. Now what was my name again...

furlong? he's a freejack! (and a farang as well).

awesome

thx!

does anybody know a thai version of imdb.com?

any other site with new movies with thai descriptions would be great as well.

music or movie... hmm... im gonna use the stupidest proverb i know...

i will have my cake and eat it too.

tourist visa for which country?

there are not a lot of countries she can travel to with just a thai id card.

she'll need a passport.

when can she get a uk passport then ? who does she make her case to ? uk border agency ? uk embassy ?

from whom did she get the resident card?

she has to go there and explain the situation.

they'll know what to do.

she can stay even without the domestic violence thing.

sorry, there doesn't seem to be a way to turn off the smiley nonsense.

the quote is from directive 2004/38/EC

...and people actually buy and wear a tee shirt like that!!!!

what about this one then..

the multiple-entry visa allows several stays on the territory of one or several Schengen States, provided that the total length of the visits does not exceed 90 days in any half-year from the date of first entry. The stay may be continuous or spread over several periods within the validity of the visa. The multiple entry visa are issued with a period of validity between six months and five years, for travellers providing sufficient guarantees.

not much you can do about it.

UK != schengen therefore she'll need a visa.

only thing you can do is the EU-route.

then she can apply for an EU resident card (see EU directive 2004/38/EC)

but getting a UK passport is probably easier and cheaper

oh, you can always try the BRAX/MRAX ruling.

EU countries should give your wife an entry visa free of charge at their borders because she's a family member of an EU citizen.

airplane companies can still refuse to let her board tho'.

don't forget your marriage cert.

no spec.. no glasses ?

how tall are you and how much do you weigh?

if you don't want a blubby body then you might have to consider working out insteqad of just running (which is bad for your knees if you're to heavy anyways)

one more vote for skinny.

there are 2 ways to get free navigation.

1. get an android http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009/10/ann...gation-for.html

2. get usenet access

i don't have an iphone but i know that sygic has an app for it and it has a map for thailand.

http://www.sygic.com/

i'm using it on my N82 and it's really good.

@bangla

As you already had the Nokia Maps on your mobile, was it really worth spending some extra on the sygic?

sorry for the late reply

yes it is.

i used to use tomtom but they stopped making it for symbian phones so i switch to sygic and never looked back.

nokia maps always seems to be lagging behind a bit.

if i quickly want to lookup an address, i use the google maps app. it's much faster.

let the guy feel good about helping someone (probably a cute girl) with 3500 baht.

it's better than giving money to charity where you know the poor malnourished little african kid won't see a dime of what you send because 90% of the money will be used on administrative costs and the 10% that's left will be spend on weapons by some war lord.

And I've got another, disturbing, question.

In Switzerland, the legal age for porn models is 16.

So... what will happen to a Swiss guy bringing porn material?

in holland it's legal to buy pot and get stoned (if you're 18+) but i'm afraid the dutch guy will go to jail together with the swiss guy if they bring their legal shit to america

1,000 cursory laptop examinations in 221,000,000 just doesn't strike me as draconian (rigorous, severe)?

Its draconian if it happens to you and they confiscate your laptop.

and i'm quite sure only a small % of those 221 million people were carrying laptops.

Correct me if I am wrong but I believe the proper thing to do is he should be directed to his embassy where they will issue him a temp passport and possibly provide a loan to pay for a flight home.

so he can live on the streets in the u.s. ?

i don't think the problem was SMSing (or texting..).

it's very clear they were all driving on wrong side of the road.

There is however a killer PDA out there (..) It's the iPod Touch running the iPhone 3.0 software.

you don't get a phone, camera and GPS.

Oh yes, you do need a WiFi connection of course to connect to the Internet

iPod does not have multi tasking

so basically you're saying that the mp3 player you bought for 8.000 baht is the ultimate PDA?

what's the brand and type of the router?

why haven't you changed the password the first day you started using this router?

are you sure you even need a password? maybe it's wide open for everybody to use.

3> After travelling to Schengen countries on a Schengen tourist visa once, is there a waiting period to apply for another Schengen tourist visa? Need to travel again after 1 or 2 months.

Not that I know. No problems, as long as you respect the terms of the original visa (no overstay, etc.).

Answer number 3: Wrong A six month period is needed beetwen the end of the first one and the second one

that depends on how long you stay inside schengen.

maximum is 90 days / 180 days on a touristvisa.

so if you stay 30 days then you can apply for a new (60 day) visa right away.

for the record: neither an Aufenthaltskarte nor a Bürgerbüro exists in Germany

moreover, even if you are married the rules and regulations have changed since a couple of years. the foreign wife of a german citizen will have to prove german language knowledge "Goethe Institut Level One".

the german immigration law has changed for germans, not for EU citizens from other countries.

Ironic that over the last 200 years Britain has saved Europe from the French once and the Germans twice, and who rules Europe now? The French and the Germans!

hasn't thailand taught you that you have to live in the here and now?
