Check your phones HSPA/WCDMA network frequencies are compatable with the True service - they may be piggybacking on their GSM 900 Mhz frequency as AIS do here (or were doing) due to not having the HSPA/WCDMA 850/1900/2100 Mhz 3G licence.

What he said. I just took a look over at gsmarena and these are the only available versions of the Galaxy Tab that support 850Mhz 3G:

Question for our British members

I was under the impression that EU Member states would not extradite to any country that had the death penalty ?

Please advise

Incorrect. They will not extradite a person who may face the death penalty. There are ways to get binding diplomatic assurances that the death penalty will not be applied.

Had this problem with a Nokia N8 smartphone. Was fixed by disabling WIFI powersaving.

Perhaps the mother was asked who the father was, answered "Farang". In comes papa, says "what!?" She tells him that's what everyone keeps calling him behind his back.

She was Greng Jai

He was Thai, so didn't protest or enquire further and became Farang

If you have a bit of backbone, there's a new ruling in from Brussels that says if your child has citizenship of a European country, you have a right to stay and work in that country, EVEN if none of the child's parents have Leave to Remain in the EU.

To keep it simple, get her to pop the sprog as soon as possible while finding excuses and get extensions for her to stay, then when the baby is born and UK citizenship has been given, she goes to the front of the line and gets the same rights as dependents of EU citizens who are working in the UK (virtually unlimited, AFAIU).

Go to:

Input PAS-8 (intelsat 8) and your approximate location in Thailand. That should give you the elevation. The direction is eastward and a bit south.

See http://www.satbeams.com/footprints?beam=5156 for a general coverage area map.

Take a GPS measurement at dish site and save the location in memory. Look east and get yourself to the highest hill in that general direction. Do the same at the top of the hill. Your GPS should have a place to find the distance between two points. This is a "reference ellipsoid" distance measurement *on the ellipsoid*, so not a straight-line measurement betweeen two points, but a measurement of the distance travelled on the ellipsoid.

Subtract the heights from each other.

You now have two sides in a right triangle, the opposite(height) and the adjacent(distance).

Since Tan(angle)=opposite/adjacent, you can find the angle (elevation) by doing Tan^-1(opposite/adjacent).

That's the simplest, most precise way I know of with commonly available instruments.

If you want to go real simple, a piece of string fairly long, a measurement tape and a stick.

Attach the string to the ground. Get your eye to the ground and get someone to move the stick till its end precisely covers the top of the hill while in a 90 degree angle to the ground. You now have the opposite(length of stick) and the adjacent(distance to stick on ground). Repeat as above.

Interesting, well my employees get the usual 30 days sick leave (which i think is a lot as it is), plus the regular thai public holidays, and they never work on Saturdays, plus two weeks paid holiday during christmas, even though thais do not celebrate christmas.

That is why I am a little concerned, I think I give them a lot of holidays as it is, should they then on top of that also get random days off without losing anything?

Are you taking the piss, mate? Of course you dock their pay if they are absent without leave.

EOD

Hmmm...does that mean if we divorce I'll have to get a divorce in two different countries? Geez...so many questions. I suppose the Embassy will have some information for me regarding this.

No, if you marry and get a certified translation of the papers, your marriage will be recognized by the US. You can then get a tax number for her and claim her as a dependant. You will still have to divorce in Thailand if that's where you both live. If later you both move to The States, things will be different.

Seriously, you always have to grab the cat as soon after they done it as you can and rub their nose in it, then their back. Make appropriately scary sounds while doing so. Then send them ass-backwards out the rear door into a bucket of cold water. This may not help with this particular stain, but will help to prevent reoccurence.

Or at least make you feel better. BTW, do you always keep a bucket of cold water by the rear door? Does it serve other purposes, too?

Come to think of it, you might NOT feel better if the cat still has his claws. I don't have a cat so I really don't know about these things, though.

Nah, I hate doing stuff like that, I just have cleaned too much cat barf, shit and pee in my lifetime to be equivocal when communicating important lessons to my cats. I love them to bits, I really do.

My cats "play dead" if I grab them by the scruff of their necks, so can do most things without getting a reaction

The cold water is in a big barrel that collects rainwater (with an overflow to the sewer).

This will likely be little help since I do not know the exact kind of fabric you have but I would first try scrubbing it with a dead cat.
