    Depends on the currency pair, fees for Singapore Dollar to Thai Baht transfers are down.

    Fish head soup makers will be happy

    No - why would you want to?

    Not much. If however, people stop buying US debt (Treasuries) the currency would be in trouble. That said as countries like China own so much US debt already they would be hurting themselves equally by doing so. Over the long term it's likely the US will find it harder and more expensive to furnish its debt. The US really does need to balance its books and live within its means.

    Seeing as the local authority and the military (navy) couldn't agree on a landing berth for the Pattaya ferry I doubt very much anyone will agree anything in a hurry for cruise ships. I think we're safe, let Koh Samui have the pleasure. It's the wet season duh! Nothing's going to change that, Malaysian & Singapore visitors understand wet seasons.

    Very Nice!

    They should combine that with a ban on arms sales to Israel.

    Yes, I'm now 66 and I still work, though consultancy work, and only for about 3 months a year. I see no reason to stop whilst people are still happy to offer me work. Yes, but I enjoy what I do, if it was working shift at the widget factory I suspect I'd quit at the earliest opportunity.

    No delays from Singapore, transfers complete in seconds

    I suspect the terrified children of Palestine would beg to differ.

    The 21 killed in the Birmingham pub bombings and the 180 maimed and injured, their friends and family would dispute that. But that wasn't what I was responding to, rather your failing to see any similarities in the disproportionate nature of the figures for those murdered Hamas v IRA - Hamas v IDF. You were happy to highlight the former but quick to sidestep the latter.

    Yes I can see you're blind to the obvious

    This is not unusual, a few months ago I watched our local meter reader's progress down our soi, for one meter placed high on a pole he nipped into the seamstress shop and borrowed a chair to be able to get in range of the RFID. All our meters are digitally read but the range seems to be about 1m - after climbing off the stool, putting his shoes back on again, he returned the stool to the seamstress with a polite wai of thanks.

    Hamas around 764 civilians killed in one day, the IDF has killed 35,562 Palestinian including 7,797 children, 4,959 women and 1,924 elderly in 6 months. Can you see a difference here?
  18. Stocky
    BS, there was no warning for the Birmingham pub bombings. The IRA were just as indiscriminate and callous as Hamas.

    You aren't too bright Bob are you, given the observations you made, it doesn't take a genius to realise that keg of piss has been sat there for months in the blistering heat.

    The readings don't change, all you do by picking a classification is select the levels at which your app will flag hypertension, they're all much the same, just the nomenclature changes. I guess they give the options so the app is using the same terms as your doctor.

    No. Markets react to uncertainty, there is little uncertainty to the outcome of the July election. As for Labour policy, they've been quite clear they aren't about to raise taxes, or do anything much else; certainly no Trussonomic cataclysms. The Conservatives have left them with empty coffers anyway.

    Not sure how you define 'hiso' but Hakparn comes from a fairly ordinary background, his father was a junior police officer and his mother a school teacher. His wife's family, although now wealthy, are also from fairly modest origins, Bancha Panitchapong's business started with a 10Bht bus Songkhla to Hat Yai. Surachate and Sirinatda were childhood sweethearts, as corny as that might sound. Hakparn is well like in the south.

    It intrigues me as to why you feel you need to know your place?

    You might not have but the compressors on a/c and refrigerators have been working extra hard in the hot weather. Our bill this month was the highest in 20 years of living in Hat Yai; 1183Kwh was the most we've used in a month, and we weren't doing anything extra either. ,
