If you've still got assets in the UK you should make two wills, one for the UK and one for Thailand. You just need to acknowledge the existence of the other will and state that the will in question only covers your Thai or UK assets. 

The UK one you can do yourself, if it helps buy a will kit from WH Smiths, otherwise just copy the format of the old one, so long as its properly witnessed it is valid.

The Thai requirements are a pain in the butt as you need to detail each bank account and asset, I paid a local lawyer in Hat Yai Bht 8,000 for my will, the wife's cost about the same.

Does anyone know why these drugs are not administered in the country, at least they are not in government hospitals.

My wife's uncle suffered his second stroke recently. They live in a rural area in the mountains near the Burmese border in Prachuap Province. He was given medication and made it through to the hospital in Prachuap Khiri Khan. He's subsequently recovered fairly well, mobility is OK, just a slight droop in the face and speech is a little off. His daughter has since moved him to live with her, closer to medical treatment. I don't think it was a private hospital they used, they're just farmers.

Do you imagine that I am going to argue about a hypothetical?

Never stopped you before!

How many fuggin topics do we need on this for pity's sake. I know it's usually a fairly slow news day down south, but do we really need 4 threads on the southern haze?  I mean it's not really a story down here, for all the "brace yourself" talk we've had very little in the way of serious smoke, nothing compared to the apocalyptical pea souper they had up t'north last year.

So twenty odd years to forget the wife beating episode, so Stokes probably another ten years or so to forget the street fighting. Assuming he doesn't get into anymore strife.

PM2.5 around 90µg/m³ today in Hat Yai, could do with some rain.

Though thankfully the wind is keeping the worst of it to the south.

There is a DuckDuckGo browser now, I use it on my phone.

Vivaldi appears to have neither adblocker nor VPN extension, so I can't see that catching on.

It's Chrome based so Chrome extensions work - I use uBlock Origin and the NordVPN extension, free VPNs are lousy. 

I use Brave, but also Firefox, Vivaldi and Edge. I stopped using Opera after the Norwegians sold it to the Chinese, Vivaldi is the chrome based spin off from Opera; what the Noggins did next.

Can we not just one thread on the Southern Haze rather than start a new topic every day!

Rain in Hat Yai this afternoon has improved conditions PM2.5 at 87, it was around 160 this morning.

let's totally ignore that thailand is a main contributor to pollution

But we're talking about air pollution here, and specifically air pollution in Southern Thailand, and the source of that pollution is Indonesia not Thailand.

I noticed in Hat Yai town yesterday that they'd started to assemble the red lantern on the junction of Thumnoonvithi and Nipatuthit 1, so we going to have a Mid-Autumn Festival again this year. The festival falls on the weekend of September 13th, so provided the weather stays fine it should be a busy weekend. We went last year and enjoyed sampling the various food stalls, so will no doubt go again this year.

in order to not have to reinstall programs etc

That is precisely what I wanted to do.

There is absolutely no need to clone the drive and the OEM licence for both Windows 7 and Windows 8/8.1 is tied just to the Motherboard.

I'm happy to stand corrected, however that was the advice given to me, and cloning worked fine. The end result was what I wanted.

Thunderbolt I would want more for laptop. The C connection for my camera but SD card reader can solve that.  I don’t remember exactly when I bought the PC, 5-7 years ago.  I wanted to install an SSD when I bought it but they said I need to buy windows again, not sure why they could not just copy it over but seems now the imaging thing is mush more common. I have rarely used the PC but the photo hobby has gave me a need for it.   I did not realize the 4th generation i7 was still still decent   Thanks for all the imput lately and have gotten a bit rusty on PC stuff  

The OEM license is tied to the whole system so not only motherboard or HDD. So you can upgrade parts of it but at some point Microsoft will consider it a new machine and deactivate your licence. You can switch the HDD, but you need to clone the OS to the new drive for it to be accepted.

I upgraded my two dell laptops recently to SSD drives. I used Macrium Reflect to clone the drives, once cloned it was easy to switch the drives over. They rebooted with the new drives no problem, both were running Win7, so once I'd switched to the SSDs I successfully upgraded both to Win10.
